Page 22 If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be a better choice. 2013 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
Page 23 Do not introduce any item thicker than this under the booster seat. Check with the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions. 2013 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)

Page 30 Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash. 2013 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
Page 31 The tether can be attached directly to the rear of the second row center seat. 1. Route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts. 2.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK Electric vehicles For specific information on the Transit Connect Electric, refer to the Azure Dynamics TC-E Owner’s Guide Supplement. Checking the Engine Coolant When the engine is cold, check the concentration and level of the engine coolant at the intervals listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Information.
Page 179 Note: For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240 available from your dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips for measuring coolant concentrations. Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified function and vehicle location.
Page 180 Severe Climates If you drive in extremely cold climates: • It may be necessary to have a Ford authorized dealer increase the coolant concentration above 50%. • A coolant concentration of 60% will provide improved freeze point protection.
Page 181 Maintenance If you drive in extremely hot climates: • It may be necessary to have a Ford authorized dealer decrease the coolant concentration to 40%. • A coolant concentration of 40% will provide improved overheat protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.
