Introduction

When you see these symbols, read and follow the relevant instructions in this handbook before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest standards using quality parts. We recommend that you demand the use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts whenever your vehicle requires scheduled maintenance or repair. You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their packaging.
Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs
One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides years of service is to have it maintained in line with our recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed in this Owners Manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or exceed these specifications.
Collision Repairs
We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen. Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and dent resistance. During vehicle
development we validate these parts deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine Ford replacement collision parts.
Warranty on Replacement Parts
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, refer to the terms and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.
See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 82).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page 72).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by properly trained technicians.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into areas
where airbags are fitted. This could
damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by properly trained technicians.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: The front passenger airbag protects both positions of a double seat.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags
The driver and front passenger airbags will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback of the front seats. A label indicates that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
16
Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Occupant protection

The side airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the head and rib areas. During minor lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions and rear collisions, the side airbags will not deploy.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the Correct Position (page
72).
Use a seat belt for only one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.
Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioner will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNING
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

17
Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Occupant protection
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seat belt properly
if you do not hear a click.
Pull the seat belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to release the seat belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Front seat belt
Rear seat belt
WARNING
Make sure that the seat belt runs smoothly through the guide.

Occupant protection

USING SEAT BELTS DURING PREGNANCY

WARNING
Position the seat belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap or the shoulder strap.
Position the lap strap comfortably across your hips and low beneath your pregnant abdomen. Position the shoulder strap between your breasts, above and to the side of your pregnant abdomen.

DISABLING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

WARNING
To avoid the risk of death or serious
injury, NEVER use a rearward facing
child restraint in the front, unless the airbag is OFF.
The key switch and the airbag deactivation lamp are located in the instrument panel.
If the airbag warning lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates intermittently, it means that there is a malfunction. Remove the child restraint from the front. Have the system checked by a suitably trained technician for your own safety. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 52).
Disabling the passenger airbag
To use a child restraint in the front, make sure that the key switch is turned to position A.
When you switch the ignition on, check that the passenger airbag deactivation warning lamp comes on. See At a Glance (page
9).

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTIONS
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential malicious frequency blocking.
Note: You could unlock the doors if you press the buttons on the remote control unintentionally.
The operating range between your remote control and your vehicle varies depending on the environment.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

You can programme a maximum of eight remote controls to use with your vehicle (including any supplied with your vehicle). Ask your dealer for instructions.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

Double locking
WARNING
Do not activate double locking when persons or animals are inside the
vehicle. You will not be able to unlock the doors from the inside if you have double locked them.
Double locking is a theft protection feature that prevents someone from opening the doors from the inside. You can only double lock the doors if they are all closed. If you try to double lock the doors when a door is still open, you may hear a short tone from the horn and the locks will cycle. The door locks will return to their previous state.
If you have double locked the doors successfully, the direction indicators will flash twice. If the hazard warning flashers are on, the direction indicators will give two long flashes.

objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one.
Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Have replacement keys recoded together with your existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from your Ford Dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain additional keys from your Ford Dealer.

ARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

The engine immobiliser is armed automatically a short time after you have switched the ignition off.
The indicator in the instrument cluster will flash to confirm that the system is operating.

DISARMING THE ENGINE IMMOBILISER

The engine immobiliser is disarmed automatically when you switch the ignition on with a correctly coded key.
The indicator in the instrument cluster will come on for approximately three seconds and then go out. If the indicator stays on for one minute or flashes for approximately one minute and then repeatedly at irregular intervals, your key has not been recognised. Remove the key and try again.
If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, this indicates a malfunction. Have the immobiliser checked immediately.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

All vehicles
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horns will sound for 30 seconds and the hazard warning flashers will flash for five minutes. If the cause of the alarm being triggered has been removed, the alarm will return to its previous armed state. If the cause has not been removed, the alarm horns will sound again.
Vehicles with a perimeter alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against unauthorised access to your vehicle through the doors and the bonnet. It also protects the audio unit and the trailer (if a Ford trailer-tow kit is fitted). You can fully arm or partially arm the alarm. Trailer detection is disabled when you have partially armed the alarm.
The perimeter alarm will be triggered if someone:
opens a door
opens the bonnet
attempts to start the engine with an
incorrectly coded key
removes the audio unit
disconnects the trailer electrical
connector (if it was connected at the time the alarm was armed).
Vehicles with a category one alarm
Note: False alarms can also be triggered
by the auxiliary heater. See Auxiliary Heater (page 68). If you are using the
auxiliary heater, direct the air flow towards the footwell.
The category one alarm is additional to the perimeter alarm. Ultrasonic interior motion detection protects your vehicle against unauthorised access to the passenger compartment and the cargo area. You can fully arm or partially arm the alarm. Trailer detection and interior motion detection are disabled when you have partially armed the alarm. Interior motion detection is not activated if you arm the alarm when a door is open.
The category one alarm will only function correctly if all windows are fully closed. Keep the area in front of the motion sensors free from obstruction.
The category one alarm is triggered if:
motion is detected in the passenger compartment or cargo area
someone attempts to access the cargo area through the rear door or tailgate window.

ARMING THE ALARM

Perimeter alarm
The alarm is armed 20 seconds after you have locked the doors. This delay allows you to close any doors or the bonnet without triggering the alarm.
Partial arming
Lock the doors with the key. See Locking and Unlocking (page 22).
Full arming
Lock the doors with the remote control or double lock the doors with the key or the remote control. See Locking and Unlocking (page 22).

AUTOWIPERS

Autowipers
CAUTIONS
Do not switch autowipers on in dry weather conditions. The rain sensor
is very sensitive and the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the windscreen.
Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears. If you do not replace them, the rain sensor will continue to detect water on the windscreen and the wipers will operate, even though the majority of the windscreen is dry.
Fully defrost the windscreen in icy
conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.
If you switch autowipers on after you have switched the ignition on, the wipers will cycle once regardless of whether the windscreen is wet or dry. The rain sensor will then continuously measure the amount of water on the windscreen and adjust the speed of the wipers automatically.

Low sensitivityA
High sensitivityB
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor using the rotary control. If you set the control to low sensitivity, the wipers will operate when the sensor detects a lot of water on the windscreen. If you set the control to high sensitivity, the wipers will operate if the sensor detects a small amount of water on the windscreen.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the windscreen free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings for defrosting and demisting the windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4°C (39°F). Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on controlling the interior climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windscreen and the door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.

Note: On vehicles without a heated mirror
switch, they will switch on automatically when you switch the heated windscreen or rear window on.
Electric exterior mirrors are fitted with a heating element that will defrost or demist the mirror glass. They will switch off automatically after a short time.

AUXILIARY HEATER

General information
WARNINGS
Do not operate the programmable fuel fired heater at filling stations, near sources of combustible vapours
or dust or in enclosed spaces.
Do not refuel when the programmable fuel fired heater display is on.
Note: The programmable fuel fired heater will switch off automatically when the battery voltage is low.
Note: All symbols on the display will flash if the power to the programmable fuel fired heater has been interrupted. The heater will not operate under these circumstances. Re-set the clock time.
Note: The programmable fuel fired heater will shut down in the event of a malfunction. Have the system checked by an expert.
Observe the following information:
Switch the programmable fuel fired heater on for approximately 10 minutes at least once a month, all year round. This prevents the water pump and heater motor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, make sure the coolant in your vehicle contains at least 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Make sure the coolant level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the reservoir to prevent air locks. See Engine Coolant Check (page 133).
68
Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Climate Control
Programmable blower operation begins when the coolant reaches a certain temperature. In this mode, ambient temperature has no effect.
In continuous heater operation, the unit senses the ambient temperature. If this is above 5°C (41°F) the programmable fuel fired heater heater will not activate.
The programmable fuel fired heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engines coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. It may also be used while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater warm up the interior more quickly.
It is possible that when the programmable fuel fired heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Principle of operation
Before operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres (5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. Any unusual driving characteristics during this period may be disregarded.
Starting the engine by towing or pushing
WARNING
To prevent damage you must not push or tow start your vehicle. Use booster cables and a booster battery.
See Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
141).

IGNITION SWITCH

WARNING
Never return the key to position 0 or I when the vehicle is in motion.
0 The ignition is off. I The ignition and all main electrical circuits
are disabled.
Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this position for too long to avoid discharging the battery.
II The ignition is switched on. All electrical circuits are operational. Warning lamps and indicators illuminate. This is the key position when driving. You must also select it when being towed.
III The starter motor is activated. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

STARTING A PETROL ENGINE

Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time, for example 10 seconds. The number of start attempts is limited to approximately six. If you exceed this limit, the system will not allow you to try again until a period of time has elapsed, for example 30 minutes.

Engine idle speed after starting
The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting will vary depending on the engine temperature.
The idle speed is automatically increased when the engine is cold this is to heat the catalytic converter. This keeps the vehicle emissions to an absolute minimum.
The idle speed will slowly decrease to the normal level as the catalytic converter warms up.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine
All vehicles
Note: When the temperature is below -15ºC
(5ºF), you may need to crank the engine for up to 15 seconds. If you consistently operate the vehicle in such temperatures, we recommend that you have an engine block heater fitted.
Note: Continue cranking the engine until it starts.
Note: You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 15 seconds at a time.
Note: If the engine fails to start after a number of attempts, the engine warning lamp will illuminate. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 52). The engine must be left for 30 minutes before further starting attempts can be made to prevent damage to the starter motor.
Switch the ignition on and wait until the glow plug indicator goes off.
Vehicles with manual transmission
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
1. Select park or neutral.
2. Fully depress the brake pedal.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The DPF forms part of the emissions reduction systems fitted to your vehicle. It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.
82
Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Starting and Stopping the Engine
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.
CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic odour and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to the high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic replacement, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself to maintain operating efficiency. The regeneration process takes place automatically. However, some driving conditions mean that you may need to support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your journeys contain frequent stopping and starting, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions will assist the regeneration process:
Drive your vehicle at a constant speed, preferably on a main road or motorway, for up to 20 minutes.
Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.
Do not switch off the ignition.
Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during this journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger
CAUTION
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.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

ECO system
WARNING
For vehicles with Start-Stop the battery requirement is different. It must be replaced by one of exactly
the same specification as the original.
The system comprises Start-Stop and a speed limiter. Together they help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by shutting down the engine when the vehicle is idling, for example at traffic lights. The engine will restart when the driver presses the clutch pedal and when required by a vehicle system, for example to recharge the battery. The system will also limit the vehicle speed to 110 km/h (70 mph). See Automatic speed limiter (ASL) (page
106).
To obtain maximum benefit from the system, move the gear lever to the neutral position and release the clutch pedal during any stop of longer than three seconds.

USING START-STOP

WARNINGS
The engine may restart automatically if required by the
system. It will only automatically restart when one of the pedals is pressed. If no pedal is pressed, the Start-Stop indicator will flash and a message will be shown in the display.
Switch the ignition off before
opening the bonnet or carrying out
any maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have shut down the engine but the ignition will still be live.
WARNINGS
The system may not function if you leave additional loads connected with the ignition off.
Note: The system only operates when the engine is warm and the outside temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
Note: If you stall the engine, and then depress the clutch pedal within five seconds, the system will automatically restart the engine.
Note: The Start-Stop indicator will illuminate green when the engine shuts down. See Warning L amps and Indicators (page 52).
Note: If the system detects a malfunction, it is deactivated. The OFF lamp on the ECO switch will illuminate continuously. If this remains on after an ignition cycle, have the system checked by a properly trained technician.
Note: If you have switched the system off, the switch will be illuminated.
Note: The system will be activated in conjunction with the speed limiter. See Automatic speed limiter (ASL) (page 106).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.
FUEL QUALITY - PETROL
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g. manganese-based).
They could damage the emission system.
Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.
Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or the equivalent national specification.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with ethanol blends up to 10% (E5 and E10).
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
WARNING
Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or
other liquids. This could cause a
chemical reaction.
CAUTIONS
Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause damage to the fuel system.
Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or the relevant national specification.
Note: We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.
Note: The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended.
Note: We do not recommend the prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing.
Long-term storage
Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is recommended to fill the tank with purely mineral diesel (where available) or add an anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of your vehicle exceeding two months. Your dealer can help you with a suitable anti-oxidant.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.
Driving with a catalytic converter
CAUTIONS
Avoid running out of fuel.

Fuel and Refuelling

CAUTIONS
Do not crank the engine for long periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
141).
Do not switch the ignition off when driving.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid spilling any residual fuel from the fuel pipe nozzle.
We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pipe nozzle to allow any residual
fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).
Note: It is normal to hear a hissing noise when you remove the filler cap.

REFUELLING

CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician immediately.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and subsequent amendments and are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles. They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including; driving style, high speed driving, stop/start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted and towing etc.
Your Ford dealer can give you advice on improving your fuel consumption.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

CAUTION
Do not engage reverse gear when the vehicle is moving. This can cause damage to the transmission.
On some vehicles it is necessary to raise the collar whilst selecting reverse gear.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

CAUTION
A vehicle fitted with AWD must be recovered with either ALL wheels on the ground or ALL wheels off the
ground. See Vehicle recovery (page 125).
If the AWD indicator flashes when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction, the system switches off. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician.
Automatic mode
The AWD system, fitted to certain rear-wheel drive variants, will automatically provide driving torque to the front wheels when road conditions become slippery with rain, snow or ice etc.
When AWD is no longer required the system automatically disengages and normal rear-wheel drive functionality is resumed.
Manual mode
Note: Your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics if manual mode is left activated when driving on normal road surfaces.
Note: The manual mode will be automatically deactivated when you exceed a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).
If additional traction is required when moving off on an excessively slippery road surface press the AWD switch. For item location. See At a Glance (page 9). The switch will illuminate.
Press the switch again to return to the automatic mode.

Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Transmission

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.
ABS
WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Note: When the system is operating, the
brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal.
The ABS will not eliminate the risks when:
you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you
the vehicle is aquaplaning
you take corners too fast
the road surface is poor.

PARKING BRAKE

WARNING
Vehicles with an automatic transmission should always be left with the selector lever in position P
(Park).
Press the foot brake pedal firmly.
Pull the parking brake lever up smartly
to its fullest extent.
Do not press the release button while pulling the lever up.
If your vehicle is parked on a hill and facing uphill, select first gear or P (Park) and turn the steering wheel away from the kerb.
If your vehicle is parked on a hill and facing downhill, select reverse gear or P (Park) and turn the steering wheel towards the kerb.
To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal firmly, pull the lever up slightly, depress the release button and push the lever down.

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Electronic stability programme (ESP)
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
Without ESPA
With ESPB
The system supports stability when the vehicle starts to slide away from your intended path. This is performed by braking individual wheels and reducing engine torque as needed.
The system also provides an enhanced traction control function by reducing engine torque if the wheels spin when you accelerate. This improves your ability to pull away on slippery roads or loose surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in hairpin bends.
Stability control (ESP) warning lamp
While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 52).
Emergency brake assist
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
The system will detect when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It will provide maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. The system can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.

USING STABILITY CONTROL

With vehicle speed below 60 km/h (37 mph), press and hold the switch for one second. The switch will illuminate.
Note: If you turn the system off, the system will reactivate temporarily if the brakes are applied during a vehicle slide. The ESP warning lamp will flash in this instance.
Note: If you turn the system off, the system will automatically reactivate if your vehicle speed goes above 60 km/h (37 mph).
Press the switch again to turn the system on. The system will be switched on automatically every time you switch the ignition on.

Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
Stability Control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system improves traction when one wheel starts to spin at vehicle speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If a wheel starts to spin, the traction control system varies the pressure to the brake of that wheel until is stops spinning.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

The traction control system is operational when you switch the ignition on.
The traction control indicator will flash when the system is operating. Slowly accelerate until the spinning wheel regains its traction.
The traction control system will stop working temporarily if used excessively within a short period of time. This is normal and has no effect on the brake system.
The traction control system will continue to operate when ESP is switched off. The warning lamp in the instrument cluster will not flash in this case.
97
Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013

Traction Control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The system makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for a short time after you release the brake pedal. During this time, you have time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal and pull away. The brakes are released automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space.
WARNING
The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and select first or reverse gear.

USING HILL START ASSIST

The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is stopped on a slope greater than 3%. The system operates with the vehicle facing downhill if reverse gear is selected and with the vehicle facing uphill if any forward gear is selected.
Activating the system
WARNINGS
You must remain in the vehicle once you have activated the system.
The system is active only if the green lamp illuminates in the instrument
cluster. During all times you are responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required.
You can activate the system only if the following conditions have been met:
The engine is running.
All doors (including cargo doors) are
fully closed.
The parking brake is fully disengaged.
No failure mode is present.
To activate the system:
1. Press the brake and clutch pedals to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake and clutch pedals depressed.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope the system will be activated automatically and the green lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on the slope without rolling away for approximately two to three seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released automatically.
WARNING
If the engine is revved excessively, or if a malfunction is detected when the
system is active, the system will be deactivated and the green lamp will go out.
Deactivating the system
To deactivate the system, perform one of the following:
Apply the parking brake.
Open any door (including cargo doors).
Drive off uphill without re-applying the
brake.
Wait for two to three seconds until the
system deactivates automatically.
