OPERATION
Starter Protection System
Starter Protection System is a system that
prevents the burning of the starter due to
unnecessary starting operations.
Electronic control unit calculates the maximum
appropriate duration of a starting operation by
gathering many data via the sensors on the
engine to protect the starter. When the user
exceeds the specified maximum start duration,
he is prevented from starting again.
The system allows starting again at the end of
the period determined by the electronic control
unit.
Please follow the instructions below in such a
case.
CAUTION
If your engine is not started after some
attempts, there may another problem
in another system of your engine. First
complete the other checks, and attempt to
start again.
To stop the engine
Do not stop the engine immediately when the
vehicle is stopped. Wait until the turbo speed
is decreased by operating the engine in idle.
If the engine is stopped immediately when
the vehicle is stopped, the turbo which is
rotating in high speed shall not be adequately
lubricated.
Air deflector
Adjust the air deflector on the cab according to
the trailer.
Note: A correctly adjusted air deflector reduces
the fuel consumption.
There is a risk of falling down from the cab and
being injured while adjusting the air deflector.
We advise you on that adjustments on the
air deflector shall be performed by FORD
OTOSAN authorized dealership with the
required expertise and special equipment.
Smart acceleration feature:
Acceleration of the vehicle is controlled by
limiting the engine acceleration profile to a
specified percentage of the maximum weight
that can be carried by the variant for trucks,
and maximum load that can be drawn for the
tractor trucks.
Abrupt and unintentional accelerator
responses of the unloaded vehicle have been
prevented, and thus driveability of the vehicle
is improved besides providing fuel economy.
Smart acceleration function is deactivated
especially in uphill start and climbing
manoeuvres and it is optimized to prevent
adverse effect on the vehicle performance.
