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.

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 may indicate that
the on-board diagnostics system has
detected an emission control system
malfunction.
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop.
Failure to respond to a warning lamp may
cause component damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - 2.0L
ECOBLUE
Your vehicle has a selective catalytic
reductant system to help reduce exhaust
emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust
fluid into the exhaust system. The engine
may not start if you tamper with or disable
the selective catalytic reductant system.
For the system to correctly operate, you
must maintain the fluid level. The
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine is 1.51 gal (5.7 L).
Note: If your vehicle is on a gradient, the
minimum fluid refill quantity required to
restart the engine may be greater than
1.51 gal (5.7 L)
. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelines
•

Selective Catalytic Reductant
System Warning Lamp
The warning lamp illuminates if
the system detects the diesel
exhaust fluid level is low or if
there is a system malfunction.
If the warning lamp illuminates, the
information display messages give you an
indication whether the concern is fluid
related or if there is a selective catalytic
reductant system malfunction. If the
warning lamp illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, and the fluid is at a
sufficient level, this indicates a system
malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluid
tank from empty, there may be a short
period before the increased diesel exhaust
fluid level is registered.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER 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.
167
2020 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, LK3J 19A321 HA enUSA, Edition date: 201911, First-Printing Engine Emission ControlE144358

Use the manual regeneration feature
when:
•
You are not able to drive in a manner
that allows effective automatic
cleaning. 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. .
• You choose to manually start the
regeneration process when the engine
is idling.
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.
Starting Manual Regeneration
You can only start manual regeneration
with the engine running at normal
operating temperature using the
information display.
Note: During the use of manual
regeneration, you may observe a light
amount of white smoke. This is normal.
Note: If you press any pedal during manual
regeneration the engine may turn off. To
protect the exhaust system you may not be
able to restart the engine for 10 minutes.
1. Using the information display controls on the steering wheel, select Settings.
2. Select
Vehicle Maintenance.
3. Select
Exhaust Filter.
4. Press and hold the
OK button until a
confirmation message appears in the
information display. If a warning illuminates you may
not be able to start manual
regeneration.
When you start manual regeneration the
engine speed rises to approximately
2000– 2500 rpm and the cooling fan
speed increases. A change in engine noise
due to the cooling fan and engine speed
increase may be heard during the
regeneration process.
Depending on the amount of soot
collected by the diesel particulate filter,
the regeneration process varies depending
on the outside air temperature and
altitude. Manual regeneration may last up
to 40 minutes.
When manual regeneration is complete
the cooling fan and engine speed return to
normal idling. The exhaust system remains
very hot for several minutes after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition
the vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or
other combustible materials until the
exhaust system has had sufficient time to
cool.
Interrupting or Cancelling Manual
Regeneration
You can interrupt or cancel manual
regeneration by switching the engine off.
It may be possible to interrupt or cancel
manual regeneration by pressing any
pedal.
Note: To protect the exhaust system you
may not be able to restart the engine for 10
minutes.
Depending on the amount of time allowed
for manual regeneration to operate, soot
may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated. The exhaust system may still
be very hot for several minutes after
regeneration.
