Ford 2014 Transit Connect v.1 User Manual download pdf (Page 153)

• If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with

RSC and a heavily loaded trailer is on

tow, the system may turn on while

taking corners. This is normal. Taking

corners at slower speeds can reduce

this tendency.

• Allow more distance for stopping with

a trailer attached. Anticipate stops and

brake gradually.

• Avoid parking on a grade. However, if

you must park on a grade:

• Turn the steering wheel to point

your vehicle tires away from traffic

flow.

• Set the vehicle parking brake.

• Place the transmission selector

lever in position P.

• Place wheel chocks in front and

back of the trailer wheels. (Chocks

not included with vehicle.)

Launching or Retrieving a Boat or

Personal Watercraft

Note: Disconnect the trailer wiring

connector before the trailer enters the

water.

Note: Reconnect the trailer wiring

connector after the trailer is removed from

the water.

When backing down a ramp during boat

launching or retrieval:

• Do not allow the static water level to

rise above the bottom edge of the rear

bumper.

• Do not allow waves to break higher

than 6 inches (15 centimeters) above

the bottom edge of the rear bumper.

Note: Exceeding these limits may allow

water to enter your vehicle or its

components, affecting driveability,

emissions and reliability. The vehicle

warranty may not cover component damage

caused by water entry.

Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime

the rear axle has been submerged in water.

Water may have contaminated the rear

axle lubricant, which is not normally

checked or changed unless a leak is

suspected or other axle repair is required.

TOWING POINTS

WARNING

The screw-in recovery hook has a

left-hand thread. Turn it

counterclockwise to install it. Make

sure that the recovery hook is fully

tightened. Failure to do so could result in

the recovery hook becoming loose.

Due to requirements in some countries,

your vehicle may have a recovery hook.

Recovery Hook Storage

E165020

If your vehicle has a recovery hook, it will

be in the luggage compartment on the

left-hand side.

If your vehicle does not have a recovery

hook, you can purchase one from an

authorized dealer.
