ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
manual. The more that you know about it,
the greater the safety and pleasure you
will get from driving it.
WARNING
Always drive with due care and
attention when using and operating
the controls and features on your
vehicle.
Note: This manual describes product
features and options available throughout
the range, sometimes even before they are
generally available. It may describe options
not fitted to your vehicle.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may be used for different models,
so may appear different to your vehicle.
However, the essential information in the
illustrations is always correct.
Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Note: Pass on this manual when selling
your vehicle. It is an integral part of the
vehicle.
This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand

Transit (TT9) Vehicles Built From: 26-09-2011, Vehicles Built Up To: 31-12-2013
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 Owner’s 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
If converting or modifying your Transit
vehicle from production specification, refer

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.

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.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft protection
system that prevents someone from
starting the engine with an incorrectly
coded key.
CODED KEYS
Note: Do not shield your keys with metal
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.

Engine immobiliser
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
