6-Speed Selectshift®

The 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission has wide-ratio gearing for responsive low-end performance and high-end efficiency. Plus convenient SelectShift and Tow/Haul uses SelectShift mode where Progressive Range Select limits the range of gears while in Drive to lock out overdrive for consistent speed over hilly terrain. Full Manual with a toggle switch on the knob lets you shift up and down the gearbox, like operating a manual but without the clutch. In the Tow/Haul mode, on an uphill, it selects the gear that minimizes gear hunting. On a downhill, it keeps the vehicle from upshifting and gaining speed, reducing reliance on braking to slow down.

Quality

Efforts to minimize noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) helped create a comfortable riding environment. For instance, the camshaft drive belt system of the 2.5L iVCT engine features a low-noise design. Individual parts were subjected to extensive vibration testing.Vehicle parts underwent extensive vibration testing under the worst road conditions and the windshield’s acoustic-laminated design reduces wind noise (XLT and Titanium passenger wagon). Also, instead of the hydraulic steering system with its belt-driven pump, Transit Connect features the quieter operation of electric power-assist steering (EPAS).

Curve Control and Torque Vectoring

When you’re approaching a curve on wet or dry pavement, standard electronic Curve Control can sense if you’re going too fast, then slow you down using throttle reduction and anti-lock braking. Once you’re into the curve, g-forces tend to transfer more traction to the outside tires than to the inside ones. Standard Torque Vectoring Control enhances that by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip, reducing understeer and forcing the front end to hug the inside of the curve.

Two Braking Technologies

The Transit Connect comes with two technologies you’ll find reassuring: When applied brake pedal pressure is insufficient to control a hard stopping situation, Emergency Brake Assist10 automatically supplies the amount of force needed to reduce the stopping distance. When you’re stopped on an incline, Hill Start Assist10 automatically holds the brake to help prevent backward roll while you’re going from the brake pedal to the accelerator. This is especially helpful when hauling a heavy load.

Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems

The available Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems use ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers to audibly alert you to certain objects when you’re moving forward or backing up at a slow speed. The closer you get, the quicker it beeps.

Rear View Camera

The maneuverable Transit Connect is designed to work efficiently in tight places, especially when you’re making deliveries in congested areas. So the available rear view camera is a feature you won’t want to be without. When you shift into Reverse, it displays a video image of what’s behind your vehicle in the screen on the center stack. It also provides guidelines to help you align your vehicle trailer hitch with the trailer’s hitch receiver. The rearview camera is available with select entertainment systems.

MYKEY®

With personalized settings for two keys, this available smart technology lets you limit top speed to 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph as well as select speed alert chimes at 45, 55 or 65 mph. You can also limit the radio volume to 45 percent and set the Belt-Minder® to chime, while muting the audio system, until the safety belt is buckled.

Airbags

All Transit Connect models are equipped with front- and side-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger. And the Safety Canopy® System with side-curtain airbags and rollover sensor helps protect front seat occupants, as well as passenger wagon rear seat outboard occupants. Located in the roof side rail behind the headliner, the side-curtain airbags are designed to stay inflated longer for added protection in a rollover or in multiple side impacts.

Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat, where available.
