Starting A Diesel Engine; Diesel Particulate Filter - Ford TOURNEO CONNECT 2015 Owner's Manual

Starting and Stopping the Engine
If you have difficulty starting the engine
when the temperature is below -13°F
(-25°C), press the accelerator pedal to the
mid-way point of its travel and try again.
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.
Flooded Engine
1. Move the transmission selector lever
to position P or N.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the cold
or hot engine procedure.
Engine Idle Speed after Starting
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized to
minimize vehicle emissions and maximize
cabin comfort and fuel economy.
The idle speed will vary depending on
certain factors. These include vehicle
component and ambient temperatures as
well as electrical and climate system
demands.

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.
