A large number of electronic components
of your vehicle contain data storage
modules temporarily or permanently
storing technical data about the condition
of the vehicle, events and malfunctions.
In general, this technical information
documents the condition of parts,
modules, systems or the environment:
•
Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels).
• Status messages of the vehicle and its
individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/rotational speed,
deceleration, lateral acceleration).
• Malfunctions and defects in important
system components (e.g. lighting and
brake system).
• Vehicle reactions in particular driving
situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,
activation of the stability regulation
system).
• Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature).
These data are exclusively technical and
help identification and correction of
malfunctions as well as optimisation of
vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating
travelled routes cannot be created with
these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair works,
service processes, warranty cases, quality
assurance), employees of the service
network (including manufacturers) are
able to read out this technical information
from the event and malfunction data
storage modules using special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive further
information. After a malfunction has been
corrected, these data are deleted from the
malfunction storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.

System Warnings
A column of lane markings are displayed
on 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. STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•
Never hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points (until it stops)
for more than three to five seconds
when the engine is running.
• Do not operate the vehicle with a low
power steering pump fluid level (below
the MIN mark on the reservoir).
• Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low power
steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your dealer.
• Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low power steering fluid. Check for
low power steering pump fluid level
before seeking service by your dealer.
• Do not fill the power steering pump
reservoir above the MAX mark on the
reservoir, as this may result in leaks
from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down
(or if the engine is turned off), you can
steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort.

Used engine coolant should be disposed
of in an appropriate manner. Follow your
community
’s regulations and standards
for recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60% will
provide improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant
concentrations above 60% will
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the engine coolant
and may cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40% will
provide improved overheat protection.
Engine coolant concentrations below
40% will decrease the corrosion and
freeze protection characteristics of the
engine coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted engine
coolant for optimum cooling system and
engine protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-
Safe Cooling
If you deplete the engine coolant supply,
this feature allows you to temporarily drive
your vehicle before you incur incremental
component damage. The fail-safe distance
depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle
load and terrain. How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the engine
coolant temperature gauge will move to
the red area and: The coolant temperature
warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon
indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating
cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still
operate. However:
• The engine power will be limited.
• This will disable the air conditioning
system.
Continued operation will increase the
engine temperature and the engine will
completely shut down, causing steering
and braking effort to increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the
engine can be re-started. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to minimize engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Turned On WARNING
Fail-safe mode is for use during
emergencies only. Operate the
vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long
as necessary to bring the vehicle to rest in
a safe location and seek immediate repairs.
When in fail-safe mode, the vehicle will
have limited power, will not be able to
maintain high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down and lose power
steering assist, and power brake assist,
which may increase the possibility of a
crash resulting in serious injury. 216
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Maintenance

Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 363). Your
transmission does not consume fluid.
However, if the transmission slips, shifts
slowly or if you notice a sign of leaking
fluid, contact an authorized dealer.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. This could cause serious
personal injury. Rinse the affected
areas immediately with plenty of water
and consult a physician. If the power steering fluid level is not
between the
MAX and MIN marks, add
power steering fluid that meets the correct
specification. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 281).
Adding Power Steering Fluid
1. Remove the filler cap. 2. Add power steering fluid to the
MAX
mark. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note: The reservoir supplies the front and
rear washer systems.
When adding fluid, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.
DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
WATER TRAP WARNING
Do not dispose of fuel in the
household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized
waste disposal facility. Your vehicle is fitted with a diesel fuel
conditioner module located behind the fuel
tank.
A warning lamp will illuminate
and a message will be displayed
when approximately
3.38 fl oz
(100 ml) of water accumulates in the
module. If you allow the water level to
exceed this level, the water may pass
through to the engine and may cause fuel
injection equipment damage.
Note: To drain the fuel filter water trap,
access the underside of your vehicle.
