WARNINGS
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury. Do not use a power point for
operating a cigar lighter. Incorrect
use of the power points can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury. Note:
When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after you
switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the power point and blow the
fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods. Locations
Power points may be in the following
locations:
•
On the instrument panel.
• Inside the cargo area.
AC Power Point WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so may cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150 watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point will turn off when
the ignition is switched off or the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.

Do not use any fuel other than those
recommended because they could lead to
engine damage that may not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty.
Note:
Use of any fuel other than those
recommended can impair the emission
control system and cause a loss of vehicle
performance.
Do not use:
• Diesel fuel.
• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
• Fuels containing more than 85%
ethanol or E100 fuel.
• Fuels containing methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
• Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
as MMT), which is a manganese-based
fuel additive, will impair engine
performance and affect the emission
control system.
Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage. FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Fuel Requirements - Choosing the
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
is Required (United
States/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands and Other Locales) WARNINGS
Only use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel
(ULSD) containing a maximum of 15
ppm sulfur and up to 20% biodiesel
(B20). These fuels should meet the diesel
specifications defined by American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D975 for
diesel and by ASTM D7467 for B6-B20
blends, or an equivalent local market
specification. Do not mix diesel with oil, kerosene,
paraffin, gasoline or other liquids to
diesel. This can cause damage to the
fuel system. Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats, oils, waste
cooking greases, biodiesel fuels
greater than 20% or any diesel fuel not
intended for highway use. The vehicle warranty will not cover
damage caused by using an improper
type of fuel or fuel additive.
Note:
Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel will
significantly increase your vehicle ’s exhaust
emissions and reduce engine life due to
increased internal wear.

Note:
Immediately wash off any diesel
exhaust fluid that has spilled on to a painted
surface with soapy water.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
Using a Fuel Station Pump
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a pump is similar to a refuelling your
vehicle. The diesel exhaust fluid pump
nozzle will shut off automatically when the
tank is full.
Note: Some filling stations utilize a
magnetic mechanism in the pump nozzle
that may prevent refilling the diesel exhaust
fluid tank. To overcome this issue you will
need to locate another filling station or use
a refill container.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
Using a Container
The following procedure applies to
Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid or similar
fluid containers. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
1. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid container cap. Place the spout on to
the container and tighten it until you
feel a strong resistance.
2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap.
3. Insert the spout in to the filler neck until
the seal on the spout seats on to the
filler neck. Pour the fluid in to the tank.
When the tank is full the fluid will stop
flowing automatically.
4. Return the container to the vertical position slightly below the diesel
exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid
remaining in the spout to drain back in
to the container.
5. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the
diesel exhaust fluid tank cap. 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.
121
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and RefuelingE163176

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. Approximate diesel exhaust fluid usage per
tank mi (km)
Driving conditions
1,100–4,100 (1,770–6,600)

4,100–6,500 (6,600–10,460)
City drive
6,500–10,500 (10,460– 16,900)
Steady highway drive
REFUELING WARNINGS
When refueling always shut the
engine off and never allow sparks or
open flames near the fuel tank filler
valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone
while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid
inhaling excess fumes. Do not attempt to refuel using a fuel
pump nozzle that does not fit
through both closing flaps of the
capless fuel filler neck. WARNINGS
Wait at least 10 seconds before
removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into
the fuel tank. Stop refueling after the fuel pump
nozzle automatically shuts off for the
second time. Failure to follow this
will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank
and could lead to fuel overflowing. Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle
from its fully inserted position when
refueling.
122
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling

4. Hold the fuel pump nozzle in position
B when refueling. Holding the fuel
pump nozzle in position A may affect
the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel
pump nozzle before the fuel tank is full. 5. Operate the fuel pump nozzle within
the area shown. 6.
Slightly raise the fuel pump nozzle and
remove it slowly.
7. Close the fuel tank filler door. Easy Fuel
™ Capless Fuel System WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler door, do not refuel
until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury. When fueling your vehicle:
1.
Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door. 3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully
into the fuel system, and leave the
nozzle fully inserted to open both doors
until you are done pumping. Hold
handle higher during insertion for easier
access. 124

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading
from the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per
gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
traveled by gallons used.
Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of your
vehicle ’s fuel economy under current
driving conditions. Keeping records during
summer and winter will show how
temperature impacts fuel economy.
Conditions
• Heavily loading your vehicle reduces
fuel economy.
• Carrying unnecessary weight in your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy.
• Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars
or light bars, running boards and ski
racks may reduce fuel economy.
• Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures.
• Fuel economy may decrease when
driving short distances.
• You will get better fuel economy when
driving on flat terrain than when driving
on hilly terrain.
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. WARNINGS
An incorrectly operating or damaged
exhaust system may result in entry
of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have an authorized dealer inspect
your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if
you smell exhaust fumes. Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards.
To make sure that the catalytic converter
and other emission control components
continue to work correctly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, especially at high
speeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information carried out
according to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed
in scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraft
or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance
replacements, or for service of
components affecting emission control,
such non-Ford parts should be the
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company
parts in performance and durability.
Illumination of any of the following warning
lamps, indicators or vehicle symptoms
could indicate that the emission control
system is not working correctly.
• Coolant temperature warning lamp.
• Charging system warning lamp.
• Service engine soon indicator.

You cannot use the operator
commanded regeneration until the diesel
particulate filter load percentage has
reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate
filter load percentage will fluctuate up and
down when driving your vehicle due to active
and passive regenerations. Note:
During the use of operator
commanded regeneration, you may observe
a light amount of white smoke. This is
normal. You cannot use the operator
commanded regeneration if the
service engine soon light is

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
119,900 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
248,500 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.
