Engine Oil Check; Cleaning The Alloy Wheels; Tire Pressure Monitoring System - Ford Transit Quick Reference Manual

Closing the Hood
1. Remove the hood strut from the catch
and secure it correctly in the clip.
2. Lower the hood and allow it to drop
under its own weight for the last 8–12 in
(20–30 cm)
Note: Make sure that the hood is correctly
closed.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km).

CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS

Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated
with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain
their condition we recommend that you:
Clean them weekly with the
recommended wheel and tire cleaner.
Use a sponge to remove heavy deposits
of dirt and brake dust accumulation.
Rinse them thoroughly with a
pressurized stream of water when you
have completed the cleaning process.
We recommend that you use Ford service
wheel cleaner. Make sure that you read and
follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Using other non-recommended cleaning
products can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
Transit (TTG) Vehicles Built From: 26-01-2015, CG3615en enGBR, Edition date: 12/2014, First Printing
As a driver assistance feature, your vehicle
has a tire pressure monitoring system. A
warning lamp will illuminate when one or
more of the tires are significantly
under-inflated. If the low tire pressure
warning lamp illuminates, you should stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,
check the tires and inflate them to the
correct pressure.
Driving on under-inflated tires can:
Cause them to overheat.
Lead to tire failure.
Reduce fuel efficiency.
Reduce tire life.
Affect vehicle handling or stopping
ability.
The system is not a substitute for correct
tire maintenance.
You must maintain the correct tire
pressures, even if low tire pressure has not
illuminated the warning lamp.
Understanding the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
The system measures the pressure in the
four road tires and sends the tire pressure
readings to your vehicle.
The system detects this lower pressure as
being significantly below the correct
inflation pressure and the warning lamp
illuminates. You must inflate the tires to
the correct pressure.
If the Warning Lamp is On:
1. Check each tire to verify that none are
flat.
2. If one or more tires are flat, repair as
necessary.
3. Check the tire pressures and inflate all
the tires to the correct pressure.
4. Carry out the tire pressure monitoring
system reset procedure.
