regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the
exhaust will radiate a considerable
amount of heat during and after DPF
regeneration, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.

CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: After you have switched your

engine off the fans may continue to run
for a short period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions could
assist the regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or
motorway, for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road

Providing it meets the specification defined by WSS-M2C913-C, you can also use
Ford Engine Oil or an alternative engine oil.
Note: If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), you must not
use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C, you must use SAE 5W-30 (preferred), SAE 5W-40 (except
vehicles with E85 fuel) or SAE 10W-40 that meets the specification defined by either
ACEA A5/B5 (preferred) or ACEA A3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine
cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased
emission levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended.

broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a
fairly large network across a large part of
the country. At various times of the day
this large network may be broken down
into a number of smaller regional
networks, typically centred on major
towns or cities. When the network is not
split into regional variants, the whole
network caries the same programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents
'random' AF switches when neighbouring
regional networks are not carrying the
same programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighbouring regional
networks are carrying the same
programming, but can cause 'random'
AF switches if they are not.
