Use the AC power point for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts. You can find it under the parking
brake lever.
Note:
Do not keep electrical devices or
adaptors plugged in to the AC power point
when not in use.
When the green indicator light, located on
the AC power point, is:
• On — AC power point is ready to supply
power.
• Off — AC power point is not ready to
supply power or you ignition is not
switched on.
• Flashing — AC power point is in fault
mode.
If you exceed the 150 watts limit, then the
AC power point temporarily turns off.
The indicator light flashes if the power
point detects overloading, overheating, or
shorting conditions. For overloaded or
shorted conditions, unplug your device and
switch the ignition off then back on. For an
overheated condition, let the system cool
down and switch the ignition off then back
on.
The AC power point is not suitable for use
with all electrical devices, for example:
• Tube type televisions.
• Vacuum cleaners.
• Power tools. •
Compressor-driven refrigerators.
• Medical or measuring equipment that
must process precise data.
• Appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply, for example:
•Microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets.
• Touch-sensor lamps.

When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note:
You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time, for example 10
seconds. The number of start attempts is
limited to approximately six. If you exceed
this limit, the system will not allow you to
try again until a period of time has elapsed,
for example 30 minutes.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition key to position II to
switch the ignition on.
3. Turn the ignition key to position
III to
start your vehicle. Release the key
when the engine starts.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Engine Idle Speed after Starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting will adjust
automatically to minimize vehicle
emissions and maximize cabin comfort
and fuel economy.
The idle speed will vary depending on
certain factors. These include vehicle
component and ambient temperatures as
well as electrical and climate system
demands.
Cold or Hot Engine
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds, wait for a short period and try
again.
If the engine does not start after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the
flooded engine procedure.
If you have difficulty starting the engine
when the temperature is below -13°F
(-25°C), press the accelerator pedal to the
mid-way point of its travel and try again. Flooded Engine
1. Move the transmission selector lever
to position
P.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine.
Note: If the engine does not start, repeat
the cold or hot engine procedure.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, for example
ether, in the air intake system (see
air filter decal). Starting fluids could
cause immediate explosive damage to the
engine. Failure to follow this warning could
result in fire, serious personal injury or
death. Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol
or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This action
creates a serious fire hazard and will
result in poor engine performance. Engine
damage caused by the use of incorrect fuel
is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Note:
Avoid shutting the engine down after
an extensive idling period. Drive your vehicle
for several miles with the engine at normal
operating temperatures under a moderate
load.
Engine Glow Plugs The powertrain control and glow plug
control modules operate the glow plug
system. When you switch the ignition on
the glow plug control module immediately
energizes the glow plugs. The glow plug
control module using the engine coolant
temperature, barometric pressure sensor
107 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014Starting and Stopping the Engine

and the environmental temperature sensor
will determine how long the glow plugs
stay energized. The required time for the
glow plugs to remain energized will
decrease as the engine coolant
temperature, barometric pressure and the
environmental temperature increases.
When you switch the ignition on, the glow
plug indicator lamp will illuminate if glow
plug heat is necessary as a starting aid.
Wait until the glow plug indicator lamp
turns off before starting the engine. The
lamp should always momentarily
illuminate when the engine is cold and you
switch the ignition on.
Cold Weather Operation
In cold weather below 32°F (0°C), the
engine may slowly increase to a higher idle
speed if left idling in park (P). As the engine
warms-up, the engine sound level
decreases due to the activation of
powertrain control module controlled
sound reduction features.
It is recommended that the engine block
heater be used for starting when the
temperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. See
Engine Bl

ock Heater (page 109).
Note: Idling in cold weather does not heat
the engine to its normal operating
temperature. Long periods of idling,
especially in cold weather, can cause a
buildup of deposits which can cause engine
damage.
Starting a Cold or Hot Engine
Note: Do not press the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition key to position
II and
wait until the glow plug indicator lamp
turns off.
Note: Do not press the accelerator pedal.
3. Turn the ignition key to position III until
the engine starts. 4. Release the key.
Note:
You may need to crank the engine for
up to 10 seconds when the outside air
temperature is
5°F (-15°C) or below.
Note: Engine power may be reduced for 15
seconds when the engine oil temperature
is
-9°F (-23°C) or below. This is to allow
the turbocharger to be lubricated.
Note: If the engine fails to start after a
number of attempts, the system will not
allow you to operate the starter for a short
period of time, for example 30 minutes.
Failure to Start
If the engine does not crank with the
ignition key turned to position III while the

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.
143 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 03/2014 Parking Aids

Setting the System Sensitivity
You can adjust how quickly the system
warns you of a dangerous situation. The
system has two sensitivity levels which you
can set using the information display. See
(page 79).
System Warnings A column of lane markings are displayed
either side of the vehicle graphic.
The lane markings are color coded as
follows:
•
Green: The system is ready to warn you
of any unintentional lane departure.
• Red: Your vehicle is approaching or is
too close to the detected lane
boundary. Take immediate safe action
to reposition your vehicle.
• Gray: The system will suppress the
relevant lane boundary.
Instances where a lane boundary may be
suppressed:
• The sensor may not detect the lane
markings on the road.
• You turn the direction indicator for that
side of your vehicle on. •
If you apply direct steering, accelerate
fast or brake hard.
• Your vehicle speed is outside the
operating limits.
• If there is an anti-lock brake or stability
control intervention.
• Narrow lane width.
If the lane markings in the display turn red
or you feel a vibration through the steering
wheel you must take immediate and safe
action to align your vehicle. Correct any
unintended lane drift immediately. 152

9. Remove the valve cap from the valve
stem on the left rear tire. Decrease the
air pressure until the horn chirps.
Training is complete when the horn
chirps after the last system sensor (left
rear) has been trained and the system
indicator stops flashing.
10. Switch the ignition off. If two short horn chirps are heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and
must be repeated.
Note: If after repeating the procedure two
short horn chirps are heard again, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
11. Set all four tires to the correct pressure See Maintenance (page
200). or the tire inflation pressure label
(located on the edge of driver door or
the B-Pillar).
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL WARNINGS
The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system
and should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, the
Ford Tire Mobility Kit sealant should be
used. The tire pressure monitoring system
sensor and valve stem on the wheel must
be replaced by an authorized dealer after
use of the sealant. If the tire pressure monitor sensor
becomes damaged, it will no longer
function. See
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 251). Note:
The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light will illuminate when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle. If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer in order to prevent damage to the
system sensors
See Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (page 251). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. During repairing or replacing of
the flat tire, have the authorized dealer
inspect the system sensor for damage.
Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information WARNING
Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
is the same size and type as the road tires
and wheels that were originally provided
by Ford. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel
is damaged, it should be replaced rather
than repaired.
A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
is defined as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and wheels
and can be one of three types:
1.
T-type mini-spare: This spare tire
begins with the letter T for tire size and
may have Temporary Use Only molded in
the sidewall.
2. Full-size dissimilar spare with label
on wheel:
This spare tire has a label on
the wheel that states: THIS WHEEL AND
TIRE ASSEMBLY FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY
