WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Your vehicle has a cabin air filter, which
gives you and your passengers the
following benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
LOCATING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 462).
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Note: Using an aftermarket cabin air filter
could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.

4. Turn the key to position III until the
engine starts.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Stationary
1. Shift into park (P).
2. Turn the key to position
0.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving WARNING:
Switching off the
engine when your vehicle is still moving
results in a significant decrease in
braking assistance. Higher effort is
required to apply the brakes and to stop
your vehicle. A significant decrease in
steering assistance could also occur. The
steering does not lock, but higher effort
could be required to steer your vehicle.
When you switch the ignition off, some
electrical circuits, for example airbags,
also turn off. If you unintentionally switch
the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and
restart the engine.
1. Shift into neutral and use the brakes to
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
2. Shift into park (P).
3. Turn the key to position
0.
4. Apply the parking brake. Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the
following:
• Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).
• Set your climate control to outside air.
Glow Plug Indicator If it illuminates, wait until it turns
off before starting.
Engine Warning Lamps Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Check Engine
If it illuminates when the engine is running
this indicates a malfunction. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emission control
system.
If it flashes, engine misfire may be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the diesel
particulate filter or other vehicle
components. Avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration and have your vehicle
immediately serviced. Powertrain Warning Lamp

EMISSION LAW
WARNING: Do not remove or alter
the original equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal floor
of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust
system heat and noise. On vehicles with
no original equipment floor covering
insulation, do not carry passengers in a
manner that permits prolonged skin
contact with the metal floor. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
fire or personal injury.
U.S. federal laws and certain state laws
prohibit removing or rendering inoperative
emission control system components.
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. We do not approve of any
vehicle modification without first
determining applicable laws. Tampering with emissions
control systems including
related sensors or the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid system can result in reduced
engine power and the illumination of the
service engine soon light. Tampering With a Noise Control
System
Federal laws prohibit the following acts:
•
Removal or rendering inoperative by
any person other than for purposes of
maintenance.
• Repair or replacement of any device or
element of the design incorporated into
a new vehicle for the purpose of noise
control prior to its sale or delivery to
the ultimate purchaser or while it is in
use.
• The use of the vehicle after any person
removes or renders inoperative any
device or element of the design.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
may presume to constitute tampering as
follows:
• Removal of hood blanket, fender apron
absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields or acoustically
absorptive material.
• Tampering or rendering inoperative the
engine speed governor, to allow engine
speed to exceed manufacturer
specifications.
If the engine does not start, runs rough,
experiences a decrease in engine
performance, experiences excess fuel
consumption or produces excessive
exhaust smoke, check for the following:
• A plugged or disconnected air inlet
system hose.
• A plugged engine air filter element.
• Water in the fuel filter and water
separator.
• A clogged fuel filter.
• Contaminated fuel.
• Air in the fuel system, due to loose
connections.
• An open or pinched sensor hose.
• Incorrect engine oil level.
162
2020 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, LK3J 19A321 HA enUSA, Edition date: 201911, First-Printing Engine Emission Control

•
Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.
• Incorrect engine oil viscosity for
climactic conditions.
Note: Some vehicles have a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
Note: If these checks do not help you
correct the concern, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Noise Emissions Warranty,
Prohibited Tampering Acts and
Maintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation
became effective governing the noise
emission on trucks over 10,000 lb
(4,536 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). The preceding statements
concerning prohibited tampering acts and
maintenance, and the noise warranty
found in the Warranty Guide, are
applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lb (4,536 kg)
GVWR.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER - 3.5L
DURATEC/3.5L ECOBOOSTâ„¢ WARNING:
Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
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 catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off. WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards.
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
• Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
• Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.
• Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump
Starting the Vehicle
(page 259).
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
• Do not use leaded fuel.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: Resulting component damage may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

WARNING: 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 or the diesel
particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off. WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a diesel particulate filter
that enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards. It filters
harmful diesel particulates, for example
soot from the exhaust gas.
To avoid damaging the diesel particulate
filter:
• Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
• Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables.
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
• Do not ignore warning lamps or
information messages regarding
exhaust system cleaning and
regeneration.
Note: This could result in damage not
covered by the vehicle Warranty. On-Board Diagnostics System
Your vehicle has an on-board diagnostics
system that monitors the emission control
system. If any of the following warning
lamps illuminate, this indicates that the
on-board diagnostics system has detected
an emission control system malfunction.
Engine coolant temperature
warning lamp.
Ignition warning lamp.
Malfunction indicator lamp.
Water in fuel warning lamp.
If you continue to drive your vehicle when
the warning lamp is illuminated, the engine
could stop without warning. This could
result in damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.
Diesel Particulate Filter Automatic
Regeneration WARNING:
Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard.
168
2020 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, LK3J 19A321 HA enUSA, Edition date: 201911, First-Printing Engine Emission Control

WARNING: 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 or the diesel
particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
correct operation. The emission control
system automatically carries out this
process. 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 automatic regeneration,
the system cleans the diesel particulate
filter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning
happens during normal engine operating
conditions at varying levels depending on
driving conditions.
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, an information message
appears in the information display. Drive
your vehicle in a manner to allow effective
diesel particulate filter cleaning.
Failure to carry out regeneration when
required could result in a clogged diesel
particulate filter. If the diesel particulate
filter fills beyond the regeneration
threshold, the system disables the ability
to carry out regeneration. This could result
in damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. Where vehicle use meets any of the
following conditions:
•
Driving short distances.
• Prolonged engine idling.
• Frequently switching the engine on and
off.
• High levels of acceleration and
deceleration.
We recommend you assist the
regeneration process by:
• Avoiding prolonged engine idling.
• Drive your vehicle in a manner to allow
effective cleaning. Drive at a steady
vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes. If the warning lamp illuminates
the diesel particulate filter could
have become overloaded. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Automatic regeneration raises the exhaust
temperature to eliminate the soot
particles. During cleaning soot particles are
converted to harmless gasses. Once
cleaned the diesel particulate filter
continues to trap harmful diesel particles.
If you are driving your vehicle in a manner
that allows effective cleaning, a message
may appear in the information display to
indicate automatic regeneration is in
progress.
If you are not driving your vehicle in a
manner that allows effective cleaning, a
message may appear in the information
display to instruct you to drive in a manner
that allows automatic regeneration.
169
2020 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, LK3J 19A321 HA enUSA, Edition date: 201911, First-Printing Engine Emission Control

The automatic regeneration process is
most effective when you drive at a steady
vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
above for approximately 20 minutes. The
frequency and duration of the regeneration
process varies by how you drive your
vehicle, the outside air temperature and
altitude. Frequency varies between 100 mi
(160 km)
and 310 mi (500 km) and each
regeneration process lasts between 10 and
20 minutes.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during the regeneration process.
This is normal.
Diesel Particulate Filter Manual
Regeneration
(If Equipped) WARNING:
Do not park or idle your
vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The regeneration
process creates very high exhaust gas
temperatures and the exhaust will
radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after
you have switched the engine off. This is
a potential fire hazard. WARNING:
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 or the diesel particulate filter. The diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and the diesel
particulate filter heat up to very high
temperatures after only a short period
of engine operation and remain hot after
you switch the engine off.
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, an information message
appears in the information display advising
you to initiate diesel particulate filter
manual regeneration.
Before you start manual regeneration, do
the following:
• Park your vehicle outside of any
enclosed structure.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Park your vehicle a minimum of
10 ft
(3 m) from any obstructions and
materials that can easily combust or
melt, for example, paper, leaves, fuels,
plastics and other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 3.2 gal
(12 L)
of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the engine coolant level.
Manual Regeneration
Where vehicle use has significant engine
idle operation, frequent vehicle speed less
than
25 mph (40 km/h), or driving short
distances where the engine does not fully
warm up, manual regeneration allows you
to start diesel particulate filter cleaning
when the engine is idling.
