AUXILIARY HEATER
Principle of Operation
The system is designed to reduce the time
needed to heat the engine when it is
running. It turns on or off depending on the
outside air temperature and the coolant
temperature.
The system warms the engine and the
vehicle interior. It uses fuel from the
vehicle fuel tank.
Using the Auxiliary Heater
WARNING: We recommend that
you have a qualified technician check
and repair the heater system after a
crash. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING: Do not use the auxiliary
heater at fuel filling stations or near
sources of combustible vapors, dust or
in enclosed spaces. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. The system requires a minimum of
6.1 gal
(23 L) of fuel in the vehicle fuel tank and
the outside air temperature has to be
below
37°F (3°C).
Note: The system does not operate if the
battery charge level is low.
Note: Do not use biodiesel fuel B20 as this
reduces the lifetime of the heater operation.
Note: Make sure the heater exhaust outlet,
under the vehicle, under the driver
compartment, is free from snow, ice, mud
and any other blockages to avoid issues with
the heater operation.
Note: Driving through water can cause
damage to the heater. See Driving Through
Water
(page 255).
Note: When the system is on, exhaust
fumes come from under your vehicle. This
is normal.
Note: If the heater is in the process of
stopping, excess fuel in the heater burns out
and there is some heat, exhaust and noise.
Switching the Auxiliary Heater On and Off
To switch the auxiliary heater on or off, use the information display controls on
the steering wheel to select the following: Action

If it illuminates when the engine is running
this indicates a malfunction. If it flashes
when you are driving, immediately reduce
the vehicle speed. Avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration and have
your vehicle immediately serviced.
If both lamps illuminate when the engine
is running, stop your vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so. Continuing to drive your
vehicle may cause reduced power or the
engine to stop. Switch the ignition off and
attempt to restart the engine. Have your
vehicle immediately checked.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles With a Turbocharger
WARNING: Do not switch the
engine off when it is running at high
speed. If you do, the turbocharger will
continue running after the engine oil
pressure has dropped to zero. This will
lead to premature turbocharger bearing
wear.
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(IF
EQUIPPED) WARNING:
Failure to follow engine
block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury. WARNING: Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock. WARNING:
Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.
Note: The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below
0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element, installed in the engine block and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.

2020 Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, LK3J 19A321 HA enUSA, Edition date: 201911, First-Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine

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.
We recommend Top Tier diesel fuel where
available to help minimize engine deposits
and maintain optimal vehicle and engine
performance. For additional information,
refer to www.toptiergas.com.
You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as
number 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of
15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. You
may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels
containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20. These fuels should meet
the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467
B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.
Outside of North America, use fuels
meeting EN590 or equivalent local market
standard. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high sulfur
diesel fuel (greater than 500
ppm) in your diesel engine will cause
certain emission components to
malfunction which may also cause the
service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), we
recommended using a diesel fuel which
has been seasonally adjusted for the
ambient conditions. Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
Is Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably on
low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
engine must be a factory built high-sulfur
engine (available as a dealer order option
for select markets) or an ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
Ford Motor Company dealer service parts.
Failure to use retrofit components other
than those available through your
authorized dealer will result in coolant
system damage, engine overheating,
selective catalyst reduction system or
diesel particulate filter damage and
possible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel fuel may result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the
aftertreatment system, potentially
rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel market that are subsequently
exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted at the
customer
’s expense using Ford authorized
dealer service parts in order to be reliably
operated on non- ultra low sulfur diesel
fuel.

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.

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.
