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

Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving.

Note: This manual describes product
features and options available throughout
the range of available models, sometimes
even before they are generally available. It
may describe options not fitted to the
vehicle you have purchased.

Note: Some of the illustrations in this
manual may show features as used in
different models, so may appear different
to you on your vehicle.

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 your
vehicle.

This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand
side. The side is determined when facing
forward in the seat.

DATA RECORDING

A large number of electronic components
of your vehicle contain data storage
modules temporarily or permanently
storing technical data about the condition
of the vehicle, events and errors.

In general, this technical information
documents the condition of parts,
modules, systems or the environment:

• Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels).

• Status messages of the vehicle and its
individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/rotational speed,
deceleration, lateral acceleration).

• Malfunction and defects in important
system components (e.g. lighting and
brake system).

• Vehicle reactions in particular driving
situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag,
activation of the stability regulation
system).

• Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and
help identification and correction of errors
as well as optimisation of vehicle
functions. Motion profiles indicating
travelled routes cannot be created with
these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works,
service processes, warranty cases, quality
assurance), employees of the service
network (including manufacturers) are
able to read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules using special diagnostic devices.
If required, you will receive further
information. After an error has been
corrected, these data are deleted from the
error storage module or they are constantly
overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations may
occur in which these technical data related
to other information (accident report,
damages on the vehicle, witness
statements etc.) may be associated with
a specific person - possibly, with the
assistance of an expert.

Introduction

Additional functions contractually agreed
upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location
in emergency cases) allow the
transmission of particular vehicle data
from the vehicle.

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 vehicle from
production specification, refer to the Body
and Equipment Mounting Manual at
www.etis.ford.com/fordservice.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment
is becoming increasingly important in the
conduct of business and personal affairs.
However, you must not compromise your
own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can
enhance personal safety and security when
appropriately used, particularly in
emergency situations. Safety must be
paramount when using mobile
communications equipment to avoid
negating these benefits. Mobile
communication equipment includes, but
is not limited to, cellular phones, pagers,
portable email devices, text messaging
devices and portable two-way radios.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.

WARNINGS

Your vehicle is equipped with a
passenger airbag deactivation

switch. See Passenger Airbag
(page 27). You must switch the airbag off
when using a rearward facing child seat on
the front seat. Make sure you switch the
airbag back on following removal of the
rearward facing child seat.

Use an approved child seat to secure

children less than 60 in (150 cm) tall

on the rear seat.

Read and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions when you are installing

a child seat.

Do not modify child seats in any way.

Do not hold a child on your lap when

your vehicle is moving.

Do not leave unattended children in

your vehicle.

If your vehicle has been involved in a

crash, have the child seats checked

by an authorized dealer.

Only child seats certified to ECE-R44.03
(or later) have been tested and approved
for use in your vehicle. A choice of these
are available from an authorized dealer.

Note: Mandatory use of child seats varies
from country to country.

Child Seats for Different Mass
Groups

Use the correct child seat as follows:

16

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Child Safety

Rearward Facing Baby Safety Seat

Secure children that weigh less than 29 lb
(13 kg) in a rearward facing baby safety
seat (Group 0+) on the front seat.

Child Safety Seat

Secure children that weigh between 29 lb
(13 kg) and 40 lb (18 kg) in a child safety
seat (Group 1) on the front seat.

Booster Seats

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with only the lap
strap of the safety belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a
booster cushion with a safety belt
that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the safety belt under your
child’s arm or behind their back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child’s height.

Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.

When using a child seat on a rear
seat, the child seat must rest tightly

against the vehicle seat. It must not
touch the head restraint. If necessary
remove the head restraint. See Head
Restraints (page 81).

You must reinstall the head restraint

following the removal of the child

seat. See Head Restraints (page

81).

Secure children that weigh more than 33 lb
(15 kg) but are less than 60 in (150 cm)
tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

17

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Child Safety

Booster Seat (Group 2)

We recommend that you use a booster
seat that combines a cushion with a
backrest instead of a booster cushion only.
The raised seating position will allow you
to position the shoulder strap of the adult
safety belt over the center of your child’s
shoulder and the lap strap tightly across
their hips.

Booster Cushion (Group 3)

ISOFIX Anchor Points

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend the use of a top tether

or support leg.

Your vehicle may have ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child seats.

The ISOFIX system has two rigid
attachment arms on the child seat that
attach to anchor points on the second row
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet. Tether anchor points are fitted to
the underside or rear of the second row
seats for child seats with a top tether.

Note: When you are purchasing an ISOFIX
seat, make sure that you know the correct
mass group and ISOFIX size class for the
intended seating locations. See Child Seat
Positioning (page 20).

Child Safety

Attaching a Child Seat with Top

Attaching a Child Seat with a
Support Leg

WARNINGS

Make sure the support leg is long

enough to reach the vehicle floor.

Make sure that the child seat

manufacturer lists your vehicle as

suitable for use with this type of child
seat.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for installing a child seat with
a support leg.

Child Safety

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

See an authorized dealer for the
latest details relating to our
recommended child seats.

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child seat on a seat
protected by an air bag in front of it!

When using a child seat with a
support leg, the support leg must
rest securely on the floor.

When using a child seat with a safety
belt, make sure that the safety belt
is not slack or twisted.

The child seat must rest tightly
against the vehicle seat. Remove the

head restraint when using a forward
facing child seat. See Head Restraints
(page 81).

You must reinstall the head restraint

following the removal of the child

seat. See Head Restraints (page

81).

Note: When using a child seat on a front
seat, always adjust the front passenger's
seat to its fully rearward position. If it proves
difficult to tighten the lap section of the
safety belt without slack remaining, adjust
the seatback to the fully upright position
and raise the height of the seat. See Seats
(page 81).

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

WARNINGS

Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the safety belt correctly

if you do not hear a distinct click.

Make sure that your safety belt is
securely stored away and is not
outside your vehicle when closing the

door.

Pull the safety belt out steadily. It may lock
if you pull it sharply or if your vehicle is on
a slope.

Press the red button on the buckle to

your safety and that of your unborn

child. Do not use only the lap strap
or the shoulder strap.

24

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Safety Belts

Pregnant women should always wear their
safety belt. The lap belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder safety belt
should be positioned low across the hips
below the stomach and worn as tight as
comfort will allow. The shoulder belt
should be positioned to cross the middle
of the shoulder and the center of the chest.

SAFETY BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Position the safety belt height
adjuster so that the belt rests across

the middle of your shoulder. Failure
to adjust the safety belt correctly could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
and increase the risk of injury in a collision.

1. Support the safety belt loop while
pressing the adjuster button.

2. Slide the adjuster to the desired
position then release the button.

3. Pull down on the safety belt loop to
make sure it is secure in position.

following conditions have been met:

• The driver's safety belt has not been
fastened.

• Your vehicle exceeds a relatively low
speed.

It will also illuminate when the driver's
safety belt is unfastened when your vehicle
is moving.

If you do not fasten the driver's safety belt
both the audible and visual warnings will
switch off automatically after
approximately five minutes.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front

of it!

Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the

airbags.

Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself

and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety 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 81).

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

safety belts must be carried out by
an authorized dealer.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers.

Do not puncture the seat with sharp

objects. This could damage and

adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized dealer.

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 AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are up
to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupant, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions and
side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

The airbags are located inside the
seatback of the front seats. There is a label
attached to the side of the seatback to
indicate this.

The airbag will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. It might also deploy
during significant frontal collisions. The
airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and
frontal collisions, rear collisions, or
overturns.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS

Side curtain airbags are located over both
side windows where there are driver and
front passenger seats. There are molded
badges in the headlining above the side
windows to indicate this.

The airbags will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. They will also deploy
during significant frontal angled collisions.
The side curtain airbags will not deploy in
minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear
collisions or overturns.

sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a safety belt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

WARNINGS

Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust

fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed

Wipers and Washers

Note: During wet or winter driving

conditions with ice, snow or a salty road
mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or
smearing may occur.

In these conditions, you can do the
following:

• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.

• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.

• Switch autowipers off.

High sensitivityA
OnB
Low sensitivityC

Note: Some autowiper levers may include
a letter "A" within the icon.

Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in
the area around the interior mirror. The rain
sensor monitors the amount of moisture
on the windshield and automatically turns
the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed
by the amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield.

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a large
amount of water on the windshield. When
you select high sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

Note: Do not operate the washers when

the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.

• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL

WARNINGS

The system does not relieve you of

your responsibility to drive with due

care and attention. A manual
override may be necessary if the system
fails to switch the high beam on or off.

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Lighting

WARNINGS

A manual override may be required
when approaching other road users
such as cyclists.

Do not use the system in fog.

In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. A manual override may be

necessary in these cases.

The system may not deactivate the
high beam if the lights of oncoming
vehicles are hidden by obstacles (for

example guard rails).

Check and replace wiper blades
regularly to ensure the camera

sensor has a clear view through the
windscreen. Replacement wiper blades
must be the correct length.

Note: Keep the windscreen free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.

Note: Reflective road signs may be
detected as oncoming traffic and the
headlamps will be switched to low beam.

Note: Always fit Ford Original Parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.

The system will automatically switch on
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead the system
will switch off high beam before it can
distract other road users. Low beam will
remain on.

A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle. This
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the high beams on and off.

Once the system is active the high beam
will switch on if:

• It is dark enough to require the use of
high beams and

• there is no traffic or street lighting
ahead and

• vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph
(40 km/h).

The high beam will switch off if:

• The ambient light is high enough that
high beam is not required.

• An approaching vehicle's headlamps
or tail lamps are detected.

• Street lighting is detected.

• Vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25

km/h).

• The camera sensor is too hot or
becomes blocked.

Activating the System

Switch the system on using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 59). See Autolamps
(page 44).

Turn the switch to the autolamps position.
The Automatic High Beam Control
indicator will illuminate to confirm when
your system is ready to assist.

Note: The indicator will only illuminate
when it is dark and headlamps have been
switched on.

Lighting

Note: The system may take a short time to

initialize after first switching the ignition on,
especially in very dark conditions. The high
beam will not automatically switch on
during this time.

Setting the System Sensitivity

The system has three sensitivity levels
which can be accessed via the information
display. See Information Displays (page

59).
The set level determines the speed at

which the high beam will be restored after
detected traffic leaves the field of view.

Manually Overriding the System

Push or pull the lever to switch between
high and low beam.

Note: This is a temporary override and the
system will return to automatic operation
after a short period.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air

Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate
control system to function effectively.

Recirculated Air

WARNING

Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings

for demisting the windshield.

The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the Interior

Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air toward the windshield and the door
windows.

Cooling the Interior

Direct the air toward your face.

Air Conditioning

The system directs air through the
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator
extracts humidity from the air to help keep
the windows free of mist. The system
directs the resulting condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which may cause
a small pool to form under your vehicle.
This is normal.

Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).

Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt

from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position. Increase the temperature
and fan speed and press the A/C button to
improve clearing, if required.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Fuel Operated Parking Heater

WARNING

Do not use the fuel operated parking
heater at fuel filling stations or near

sources of combustible vapors, dust
or in enclosed spaces. This could result in
serious personal injury or death.

The system warms the engine and the
vehicle interior; it uses fuel from the vehicle
fuel tank. The system will only operate
when your vehicle is stationary with the
engine switched off.

Used correctly the system will:

• Warm the engine and the vehicle
interior.

• Keep the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevent
condensation.

• Avoid cold starts to assist the engine
to reach operating temperature sooner.

Following a heating cycle, if you do not
start the engine the system will not turn
on the next programmed heating cycle.

Following a heating cycle we recommend
that you drive your vehicle for at least the
same period of time as the heating cycle.
This prevents the vehicle battery from
running out of charge.

We recommend you switch the system on
for approximately 10 minutes every month
to prevent the water pump or heater motor
seizing.

The system will only operate if there is a
minimum of 16 liters (3.5 gallons) of fuel
in the vehicle fuel tank and the outside air
temperature is below 59°F (15°C). The
system will not operate if the battery
charge level is low.

Note: When the system is operating,
exhaust fumes will come from under your
vehicle. This is normal.

Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control, heating the vehicle interior will
depend on the heater control settings. See
Climate Control (page 72).

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

WARNINGS

Do not recline the seat backrest too
far as this can cause the occupant

to slide under the safety belt,
resulting in serious injury in the event of a
crash.

Sitting improperly, out of position or

with the seat backrest reclined too

far, can result in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat backrest, with
your feet on the floor.

Do not place objects higher than the

seat backrest to reduce the risk of

serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking.

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:

• Sit in an upright position with the base

of your spine as far back as possible.

• Do not recline the seat backrest more

than 30 degrees.

• Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.

• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING

Fully adjust the head restraint before
you sit in or operate your vehicle. This

will help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
adjust the head restraint when your vehicle
is moving.

HEATED SEATS

WARNING

People who are unable to feel pain
to their skin because of advanced

age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal
cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury.

Note: Only the outboard seat on a dual
passenger seat is heated.

The maximum temperature is reached
after five or six minutes. It is regulated
thermostatically.

The heated seat will remain on until you
switch it off. If the heated seat is on when
you switch the ignition off, it will be on
when you switch the ignition back on.

Do not do the following:

• Place heavy objects on the seat.

• Operate the heated seat if water or any

other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow
the seat to dry thoroughly.

• Operate the heated seats unless the
engine is running. This prevents the
vehicle battery from running out of
charge.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNINGS

Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high

temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or
other damage.

Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle

on dry grass or other dry ground

cover. The emission system heats up
the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

Do not start the engine in a closed

garage or in other enclosed areas.

Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.

IGNITION SWITCH

Note: Make sure the key is clean before

inserting it into any lock cylinder.

0(off) - The ignition is off.
Note: When you switch the ignition off and

leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in
the ignition. This could cause your vehicle
battery to lose charge.

I (accessory) - Allows the electrical
accessories such as the radio to operate
while the engine is not running.

Note: Do not leave the ignition key in
position I or II (without the engine running)
for too long to avoid vehicle battery losing
charge.

II (on) - All electrical circuits operational.
Warning lamps and indicators are
illuminated.

III (start) - cranks the engine. Release the
key as soon as the engine starts.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK

WARNING

Always check that the steering is
unlocked before attempting to move
your vehicle.

96

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

To lock the steering wheel:

1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.

2. Rotate the steering wheel slightly to
engage the lock.

To unlock the steering wheel:

1. Insert the key in the ignition switch.

2. Turn the key to position I.

Note: You may need to rotate the steering
wheel slightly to assist unlocking if there is
a steering wheel load applied.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or Hot Engine

Note: When the temperature is below 5°F

(-15°C), you may need to crank the engine
for up to 10 seconds.

Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time.

Note: After a limited number of attempts
to start your engine, the system will not
allow you to try again until a period of time
has elapsed, for example 30 minutes.

Switch the ignition on and wait
until the glow plug indicator goes
off.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
Note: Releasing the clutch pedal while the

engine is starting will stop the engine
cranking and return to ignition on.

1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

Failure to Start

If the engine does not crank when the
clutch pedal has been fully depressed and
the ignition key is turned to position III.

1. Fully depress the clutch and brake
pedals.

2. Turn the key to position III until the
engine has started.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The filter forms part of the emissions
reduction system on your vehicle. It filters
harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the
exhaust gas.

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.

Note: Avoid running out of fuel.
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 regeneration and is normal.

Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.

Note: After you have switched your engine
off the fans may continue to run for a short
period of time.

The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
its correct function. Your vehicle will carry
out this process automatically.

97

Tourneo Custom/Transit Custom (TTF) Vehicles Built From: 12-01-2015, CG3577en enGBR, Edition date: 01/2015, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

If your journeys meet one of the following
conditions:

• You drive only short distances.

• You frequently switch the ignition on

and off.

• Your journeys contain a high level of
acceleration and deceleration.

You must carry out occasional trips with
the following conditions to assist the
regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle in more favorable
conditions, which you will find at higher
vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a
main road or freeway for a minimum
of 20 minutes. This drive may include
short stops that will not affect the
regeneration process.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.

• Do not switch the ignition off.

• Select a suitable gear to ideally

maintain engine speed between 1500
and 3000 RPM.

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

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater
instructions could result in property
damage or serious personal injury.

Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.

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 220-240 volt AC
electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:

• Use an extension cord suitable for use
outdoors and in cold temperatures. It
should be clearly marked that it is
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.

• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.

• Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
