FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE
Note:
Use of any fuel other than
recommended fuel can cause powertrain
damage, impair the emission control system
or cause loss of vehicle performance. Any
damage to vehicle that is caused by use of
fuel not recommended will not be covered
under warranty.
Choosing the Right Fuel Without
a Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped)
Use only UNLEADED gasoline or
UNLEADED gasoline blended with a
maximum of 85% ethanol (E-85) in your
Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). If your vehicle is
flex fuel capable, the fuel fill inlet will have
a yellow housing.
Do not use:
• Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E-85 fuel.
• Fuel with methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)
• Leaded fuel (The use of leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
Choosing the Right Fuel With a
Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped)
Use only UNLEADED gasoline or
UNLEADED gasoline blended with a
maximum of 85% ethanol (E-85) in your
Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). If your vehicle is
flex fuel capable, it will have a yellow bezel
placed over the fuel fill inlet.
Do not use:
• Fuels containing more than 85%
ethanol or E-100 fuel.
• Fuel with methanol. •
Fuels containing metallic based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)
• Leaded fuel (The use of leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
Octane Recommendations Do not be concerned if your engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it
knocks heavily under most driving
conditions while you are using fuel with the
recommended octane rating, see your
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
3.5L V6 EcoBoost
We recommend regular unleaded gasoline
with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some stations offer fuels posted as regular
with an octane rating below 87, particularly
in high altitude areas. We do not
recommend fuels with an octane rating
below 87. To provide improved
performance, we recommend premium
fuel for severe duty usage, such as trailer
tow.

6. Remove the spout from the diesel
exhaust fluid container and replace the
cap.
Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in
the container retain it for later use. The
spout is re-useable. Wash the spout with
clean water prior to storage. Do not use the
diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other
fluid.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in
Cold Climates
Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if the
ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C).
Your vehicle has a preheating system
which allows diesel exhaust fluid to
operate below 12°F (-11°C). If you do not
use your vehicle for an extended period
when the ambient temperature is below
12°F (-11°C)
, the fluid in the tank may
freeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluid
freezes it may damage the tank. This is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Contaminated Diesel Exhaust
Fluid or Inoperative Selective
Catalytic Reduction System If the system becomes
contaminated or inoperative, the
diesel exhaust fluid warning
lamp will illuminate and a message will
appear in the information display.
Continued driving without replacing the
fluid or not having the system repaired will
result in:
• Vehicle speed being limited. Prior to
this occurring a message will appear in
the information display.
• Further vehicle operation without
replacing contaminated diesel exhaust
fluid will cause the engine to run at idle
speed. Note:
If the vehicle speed becomes limited
or the engine will only run at idle speed,
normal vehicle operation will not resume
until you have the system repaired. To
service a contaminated or inoperative
system, see an authorized dealer.
Note: You must add a minimum of 3.2 qt
(3 L) for your vehicle to exit the run at idle
speed mode.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelines
• Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
vehicle fuel tank.
• Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid
tank.
• Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with
water or any other liquid.
• Do not re-use a diesel exhaust fluid
container.
• Do not store in direct sunlight.
• Store at temperatures between 23°F
(-5°C) and 68°F (20°C).
• Do not store a diesel exhaust fluid
container in your vehicle.
• Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable,
non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble.
Approximate Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Usage
The chart below illustrates the
approximate diesel exhaust fluid usage for
the given distances traveled under various
driving conditions. Usage may vary
depending on:
• Driving style.
• Towing a trailer.
• Vehicle load.
• Engine idling time.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
We derive CO2 and fuel consumption
figures in laboratory tests according to
Regulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)
692/2008 and subsequent amendments.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the real
world fuel consumption you may get from
your vehicle.
Real world fuel consumption is governed
by many factors, for example driving style,
high speed driving, stop-start driving, air
conditioning usage, the accessories fitted,
payload and towing.
The advertised capacity is the indicated
capacity and the empty reserve combined.
Indicated capacity is the difference in the
amount of fuel in the fuel tank and when
the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty
reserve is the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note:
The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range. When refueling
your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates
empty, you might not be able to refuel the
full amount of the advertised capacity due
to the empty reserve still present in the fuel
tank.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
• Switch the ignition off.
• Allow no more than two automatic
shut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the
refueling method is consistent. Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
the engine break-in period). A more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2500 mi (4,000 km)
. Also, fuel expense,
frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings
are not accurate ways to measure fuel
economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer
reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by gallons used (For
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then
divide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or freeway).
This provides an accurate estimate of your
vehicle ’s fuel economy under current
driving conditions. Additionally, keeping
records during summer and winter show
how temperature impacts fuel economy.
In general, your vehicle will use more fuel
in cold temperatures.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle
in dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system,
which can start a fire.
122 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014 Fuel and Refueling

to a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces
the amount of harmful exhaust emitted
from the tailpipe. As soot gathers in the
system it begins to restrict the filter. The
soot that gathers inside the filter is cleaned
in two different ways, passive regeneration
and active regeneration. Both methods
occur automatically and require no actions
from the driver. During either one of these
regeneration methods, you may notice a
change in exhaust tone. At certain times,
the information display will display various
messages related to the diesel particulate
filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter Maintenance
Failure to carry out active or operator
commanded regeneration when advised
could result in a clogged diesel particulate
filter. If the diesel particulate filter fills
beyond the regeneration threshold, your
vehicle will disable the ability for active
and operator commanded regeneration.
This could result in irreversible damage to
the diesel particulate filter requiring
replacement that the Ford Warranty may
not cover. If your vehicle is not fitted with
operator commanded regeneration, check
with an authorized dealer for availability.
Passive Regeneration
During passive regeneration, the exhaust
system temperature and constituents
automatically clean the diesel particulate
filter, or reduce the soot level, by oxidizing
the soot. Cleaning occurs naturally during
normal engine operating conditions, at
varying levels depending on driving
conditions.
Active Regeneration
Once the diesel particulate filter is full of
exhaust particles, the engine control
module will command the exhaust system
to clean the diesel particulate filter through
a process called active regeneration. Active
regeneration requires the engine computer
to raise the exhaust temperature to
eliminate the particles. During cleaning,
the particles convert to harmless gasses.
Once cleaned the diesel particulate filter
will then be ready to continue trapping
exhaust particles.
The regeneration process operates more
efficiently when you drive your vehicle at
a steady speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes to
complete the process. The frequency and
duration of regeneration will fluctuate by
how you drive your vehicle, outside air
temperature, and altitude. For most driving,
regeneration frequency will vary from
100 mi (160 km) - 310 mi (500 km)
between occurrences and each occurrence
will last between 10 and 20 minutes. You
can usually reduce the duration of
regeneration if you maintain a constant
speed above 30 mph (48 km/h).
When the engine control module detects
that the diesel particulate filter is nearly
full of particulates, and you are not driving
your vehicle in a manner to allow effective
automatic cleaning, the information
display will show the following messages
as a reminder for you to drive in a manner
to clean the diesel particulate filter. If you
drive your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective automatic cleaning, the
information display will show a cleaning
exhaust filter message, which is the normal
regeneration process.
125 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014 Fuel and Refueling

How to Interrupt or Cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the operator
commanded regeneration, press the brake
pedal or switch the ignition off to stop the
procedure. Depending on the amount of
time you allowed the operator
commanded regeneration to operate, soot
may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated, but the exhaust system and
exhaust gas may still be hot. If you shut
your vehicle off during operator
commanded regeneration, you will notice
turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence
caused by shutting off a diesel engine
during boosted operation and is considered
normal.
Filter Service and Maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash will build
up in the diesel particulate filter, which is
not removed during the regeneration
process. The filter may need to be removed
for ash cleaning at approximately
119900 mi (193,000 km) or greater, actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine and vehicle operating conditions.
The filter may need to be replaced at
approximately 248500 mi (400,000 km)
depending upon vehicle operating
conditions.
In both cases, the engine control system
will set a service light to inform you to have
your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
If there are any issues with the diesel
particulate filter, the engine control system
will turn on a service light to inform you to
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. Powertrain fault indicator. Service engine soon indicator.
Resonator and Tailpipe Assembly
Maintenance WARNINGS
Failure to maintain the functional
holes, in the tailpipe section of the
exhaust, clean and free of debris or
foreign material may result in the holes
becoming blocked or plugged. Do not
modify or remove the tail-pipe section.
Blocked or plugged holes or
removal/modification of the system could
result in elevated exhaust gas
temperatures which may result in
vehicle/property damage or personal
injury. The normal operating temperature
of the exhaust system is very high.
Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
DPF heats up to a high temperature after
only a short period of engine operation and
can stay hot even after the engine is turned
off. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury. Note:
Additions of aftermarket devices or
modifications to the exhaust system can
reduce the effectiveness of the exhaust
system as well as cause damage to the
exhaust system or engine. These actions
may also affect your vehicle ’s warranty. See
the Warranty Guide for more information.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
If your vehicles has a non-Ford
approved trailer tow module the
system may not correctly detect
objects. The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The system does not detect objects
that are moving away from your
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move toward
your vehicle. Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or a rear fitted
accessory. For example, a bicycle
carrier. The rear parking aid will only
indicate the approximate distance from
the rear bumper to an object. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than eight inches (20 centimeters). Note:
If your vehicle has a tow ball arm,
switch the system off when you connect
trailer lamps (or lighting boards) to the
13-pin socket through a Ford approved
trailer tow module.
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice
or snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The system may emit false alerts if
it detects a signal using the same frequency
as the sensors or if your vehicle is fully
loaded. Note:
The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensors and the side wall
remains constant for three seconds, the
alert will turn off. As you continue the inner
sensors will detect objects directly behind
your vehicle.
PARKING AID WARNINGS
The parking aid system can only
assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking aid
system. Traffic control systems, inclement
weather, air brakes, external motors
and fans may affect the correct
operation of the sensing system.This may
cause reduced performance or false alerts. The system may not detect small or
moving objects, particularly those
close to the ground.
The system warns you of objects that are
within the detection zone of the bumper
areas. When you switch the ignition on,
the system automatically turns on. The
system becomes active when you shift into
reverse (R) and the speed of your vehicle
is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
