The auxiliary input jack allows you to connect your portable music player and play music through the vehicle speakers with high fidelity. Required equipment: 1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones 2. An audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm) connectors at each end. To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack: 1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off. 2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully charged and that the device is turned off. 3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the auxiliary input jack. 4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. 5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the volume. 6. Press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until AUX appears in the display. You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may be low. 7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the AUX and FM or CD controls. Troubleshooting: 1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices that have a headphone output with a volume control. 2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many 26

portable music players have different output levels, so not all players should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume. 3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or recharge the batteries in the portable music player. 4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control (play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player. 5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
BLUETOOTH姞 HANDS-FREE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with Bluetooth威, a wireless technology which works with your cellular phone to allow you to send and receive calls in a hands-free manner. Your cellular phone must be Bluetooth enabled and also be connected (bonded or paired) to the vehicle’s system. These features allow you to have hands-free conversations while enabling you to focus your attention on the road. For additional information on using voice commands with your Bluetooth system, please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on “How-to Bluetooth”.

PHONE COMPATIBILITY While your Bluetooth system supports a variety of features, many are dependent upon the functionality of your cellular phone with Bluetooth wireless technology. If there is an incompatibility, the performance of your system may be significantly degraded. To see if your phone is compatible with your Bluetooth system, please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on “Check Bluetooth Compatibility”.
Getting started Pairing (bonding) your phone The first thing you must do to use the system is to pair (bond) your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with your vehicle’s Bluetooth system. This process allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free system and ensures that other phones cannot inadvertently do so. You may pair/bond up to six phones with your Bluetoothsystem. To pair/connect your phone: 1. Ensure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone and audio system are on and your vehicle is in Park (P). 2. Press MENU repeatedly until ADV MENU appears in the display. 3. Press and hold MENU to enter into the Advanced menu selections. 4. Press MENU repeatedly until BT ON/OFF appears in the display. If the feature is set to OFF, press > so BT ON appears in the display. 5. Ensure that your phone is not in privacy mode. Then, follow the instructions in your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. 6. Select FORD AUDIO when it appears in your phone’s display. 7. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth PIN number 0000 or any number using the phone keypad. Now enter the Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display. The phone you have just paired/bonded is now considered the ’active’ phone. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, the Bluetooth system will automatically begin so search for paired phones, and will attempt to re-connect to the phone last paired/bonded with the system. If this phone is not available, the system will then automatically search for the next most recently connected phone. To pair/bond subsequent phones to the system, simply follow the previous procedure. 28

Phonebook entries: Once theBluetooth system connects to your phone, it will attempt to automatically download your Phonebook entries so that you can easily access them later. The maximum number of entries vary depending on the information attached to the number.
Voice recognition Your Bluetooth system is equipped with a voice recognition system which allows you to perform some operations by speaking certain commands to the system. The system will respond with a series of beeps, confirmations or questions when necessary. At any time, you can say, “Cancel” if you do not wish to continue, or “Help” for a list of possible voice commands in your current mode. Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired function. For best system performance: • After pressing VOICE on the

BULB REPLACEMENT
Lamp assembly condensation Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.
47
2011 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
Lights
Examples of acceptable condensation are: • Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets) • Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water leak) are: • Water puddle inside the lamp • Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of unacceptable moisture are present.
Using the right bulbs Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.

SECURILOCK姞 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) SecuriLock威 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded key. Note: The SecuriLock威 passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft indicator The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster. • When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will flash briefly to indicate the SecuriLock威 system is functioning as a theft deterrent. The indicator light will stop flashing after approximately 10 seconds.
• When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for
three seconds, then turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock威 system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful 74
2011 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
Locks and Security
contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, and the vehicle will not start, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off position.
Automatic disarming Switching the ignition to the on position with a coded key disarms the vehicle.
Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming spare keys You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. The process for programming SecuriLock威 keys is independent of the process for programming remote entry transmitters. If your vehicle is equipped with SecuriLock威 and remote entry, you must perform both learning procedures in order to program both the immobilizer and remote locking functions of the key fob. Tips: • A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. • Only use SecuriLock威 keys. • You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible.
• If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

1. Insert a previously programmed coded key into the ignition. 2. Turn the ignition from the 0 (off) position to the II (on) position. Keep the ignition in the II (on) position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition to the 0 (off) position. 4. Remove the previously programmed coded key from the ignition. 5. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the other previously programmed coded key into the ignition. 6. Turn the ignition from the 0 (off) position to the II (on) position. Keep the ignition in the II (on) position for at least one second but not more than 10 seconds. 7. Turn the ignition to the 0 (off) position. 8. Remove the previously programmed coded key from the ignition. 9. After three seconds but within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the ignition. 10. Turn the ignition from the 0 (off) position to the II (on) position. Keep the ignition in the II (on) position for at least one second, but no more than 10 seconds. 11. Your new, unprogrammed key is now programmed. If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off, or stay on for more than three seconds. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key(s) programmed. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure from Step 1 for each additional key.
