air filter FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2019 User Guide

•
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.
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 could 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. Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp.
If the diesel particulate filter is
near or at saturation, the warning lamp
appears advising you to initiate diesel
particulate filter manual regeneration.

to start manual regeneration. Make sure you understand each
prompt. The information display confirms that regeneration
has started and when it is completed.

OK button or the right arrow button.
Exhaust Filter Over-
loaded Clean Now Follow the prompts regarding exhaust position as required
to start manual regeneration. Make sure you understand each
prompt. The information display confirms that regeneration
has started and when it is completed.
Note: You cannot use the manual regeneration until the diesel particulate filter load
percentage has reached 100 percent. The diesel particulate filter load percentage fluctuates
when driving due to automatic 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.
Interrupt or Cancel 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.
If you switch the engine off during manual
regeneration, turbo charger flutter occurs.
This is a consequence of switching a diesel
engine off during turbo charger boost
operation, which is normal.
Manual Regeneration with Automatic
Regeneration Control
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, automatic regeneration could
not sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter. You can switch automatic
regeneration off until you can drive your
