battery capacity FORD TRANSIT 2021 Owners Manual

WARNING: 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. WARNING:
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.
Do not use the power point over the vehicle
capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or a fuse
may blow.
Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Note: The power points turn off after 30
minutes when the ignition is switched off.
The power points could turn off earlier if the
vehicle battery charge level is low.
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.
Power points may be in the following
locations:
• Inside the instrument panel storage
compartment.
• On the front of the center console.
• Inside the cargo area. 110 Volt - 150 Watt Capacity AC
Power Outlet 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. The power point is on the parking brake
console.
When the indicator light on the power point
is:
•
On: The power point is providing power.
• Off: The power point is not providing
power.
• Flashing: The power point is in fault
mode.

When attaching the trailer wiring connector
to your vehicle, only use a correctly fitting
connector that works with the vehicle and
trailer functions. Some seven-position
connectors may have the SAE J2863 logo,
which confirms that it is the correct wiring
connector and works correctly with your
vehicle.

Tow Hitch WARNING: Do not exceed the
lowest rating capacity for your vehicle or
trailer hitch. Overloading your vehicle or
trailer hitch can impair your vehicle
stability and handling. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not cut, drill, weld
or modify the trailer hitch. Modifying the
trailer hitch could reduce the hitch rating.
Do not use a tow hitch that either clamps
on to the bumper or attaches to the axle.
You must distribute the load in your trailer
so that between 10% and 15% of the total
weight of the trailer is on the tongue. Weight Distributing Hitches
A weight distribution hitch is not
recommended for use with your vehicle.
Safety Chains
Always connect the safety chains to the
frame or hook retainers of your vehicle's
tow hitch.
To connect the safety chains, cross the
chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning tight corners. Do
not allow the chains to drag on the ground.
Note:
Do not attach safety chains to the
bumper.
Trailer Brakes
(If Equipped) WARNING:
Do not connect a
trailer's hydraulic brake system directly
to your vehicle's brake system. Your
vehicle may not have enough braking
power and your chances of having a
collision greatly increase.
Electric, manual, automatic or surge-type
trailer brakes are safe if you install them
correctly and adjust them to the
manufacturer's specifications. Trailer
brakes must meet local and federal
regulations.
The rating for the tow vehicle's braking
system operation is at the gross vehicle
weight rating, not the gross combined
weight rating.
Separate functioning brake systems are
required for safe control of towed vehicles
and trailers weighing more than
1,500 lb
(680 kg) when loaded.
