STARTING

Electric vehicles

For specific information on the Transit Connect Electric, refer to the

Azure Dynamics TC-E Owner’s Guide Supplement.

Positions of the ignition

• 0 (off) — locks the steering

wheel, automatic transmission

gearshift lever and allows key

removal. This position also shuts

the engine and all electrical

accessories off.

• I (accessory) — allows the

electrical accessories such as the

radio to operate while the engine is not running.

• II (on) — all electrical circuits operational. Warning lights illuminated.

Key position when driving.

• III (start) — cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine

starts.

Note: Do not store the key in the ignition after the vehicle is turned off

and you have left the vehicle. This could cause a drain on the battery.

Preparing to start your vehicle

Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system.

This system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard

requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio

noise.

When starting a fuel-injected engine, don’t press the accelerator before

or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have difficulty

starting the engine. For more information on starting the vehicle, refer to

Starting the engine in this chapter.

WARNING: 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.
