You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for
the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their
packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides
years of service is to have it maintained in line with our
recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed
in this owner’s manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or
exceed these specifications.

Introduction 11

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen.
Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent
requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and
dent resistance. During vehicle development, we validate that these parts
deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way
to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine
Ford replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only
replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to
your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be
covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, see the terms
and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered by
your vehicle’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, see the warranty
information that is provided to you along with your owner’s manual.

Special Instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic
controls.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you
must not compromise your own or others’ safety when using such
equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and
security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations.
Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and
portable two-way radios.

Vehicle Inspection Guide 13

VEHICLE INSPECTION INFORMATION

To make sure your vehicle is ready to operate, conduct a pre-trip
inspection at the beginning of each work period. Follow the steps listed
in this section to verify a proper vehicle inspection procedure.

WARNING: Exercise great caution when working on a vehicle

equipped with an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts in motion
only after the engine coolant reaches a predetermined temperature or
the refrigerant pressure (if equipped with air conditioning) reaches a
predetermined setting. The fan starts at this point with no advance
warning. Never reach near, or permit objects to protrude into, the fan
blade radius while the engine is running as this could result in vehicle
damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not operate the vehicle if any suspension

conditions listed in the following charts are evident. Loss of
steering or suspension could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.

WARNING: If a wheel must be changed, obtain expert tire

service help. Mounting and un-mounting of tires should only be
performed by a qualified technician using necessary safety procedures
and equipment, otherwise the result could be property damage,
personal injury or death.

Note: Always make sure you apply the parking brake before starting the
engine.

22 Vehicle Inspection Guide

Trailer

If you are pulling a trailer, perform an inspection of the trailer similar to
that of the tractor. The inspection should follow trailer manufacturer
recommendations and should include at a minimum: general condition,
landing gear, doors, sides, lights, reflectors, suspension, brakes, tires,
wheels, cargo placement, stability and tie-downs.

Transmission

WARNING: If the unit starts in gear and/or the neutral start
switch is not functioning correctly, the vehicle may inadvertently

move which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, regularly
inspect the transmission’s neutral start switch. The engine should only
start in position N or P.

Inspect the transmission fluid level and shift linkage for proper
operation.

Child Safety 23

GENERAL INFORMATION

See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children.

WARNING: Always make sure your child is secured properly in a

device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight. Child
safety restraints must be bought separately from your vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions and guidelines may result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death to your child.

WARNING: All children are shaped differently. The

recommendations for safety restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law. Ford
recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician (CPST) and consulting your pediatrician to make sure your
child seat is appropriate for your child, and is compatible with and
properly installed in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting station
and CPST, contact the NHTSA toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or on the
internet at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada, check with your local
St. John Ambulance office for referral to a CPST or for further
information, contact your provincial ministry of transportation, or locate
your local St. John Ambulance office by searching for St. John
Ambulance on the internet, or Transport Canada at 1–800–333–0371
(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly restrain children in safety
seats made especially for their height, age, and weight may result in an
increased risk of serious injury or death to your child.

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children

Child size, height, weight, or age

Infants
or
toddlers

Small
children

Larger
children

• You are required by law to properly use safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the United States and Canada.

• Many states and provinces require that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds (36 kilograms). Check your local and
state or provincial laws for specific requirements about the safety of
children in your vehicle.

• When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of
age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in a front seating position. See Front
Passenger Sensing System in the Supplementary Restraints System
chapter for more information.

Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less
(generally age four or younger).

Children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a child safety seat
(generally children who are less than
4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall, are greater than
age four (4) and less than age twelve
(12), and between 40 lb (18 kg) and
80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb
(45 kg) if recommended by your child
restraint manufacturer).

Children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a belt-positioning
booster seat (generally children who are
at least 4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall or
greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb
(45 kg) if recommended by child
restraint manufacturer).

Recommended
restraint type

Use a child safety
seat (sometimes
called an infant
carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler
seat).

Use a
belt-positioning
booster seat.

Use a vehicle
safety belt having
the lap belt snug
and low across the
hips, shoulder belt
centered across
the shoulder and
chest, and seat
back upright.

Child Safety 25

Child Seats

Use a child safety seat (sometimes
called an infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat) for infants,
toddlers or children weighing
40 pounds (18 kilograms) or less
(generally age four or younger).

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If
you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
vehicle seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.
When possible, all children age 12 and under should be properly
restrained in a rear seating position. If all children cannot be seated and
restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the
largest child in the front seat.

WARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and

warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to
determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child’s size,
height, weight, or age. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings provided for installation and use in
conjunction with the instructions and warnings provided by your
vehicle manufacturer. A safety seat that is improperly installed or
utilized, is inappropriate for your child’s height, age, or weight or does
not properly fit the child may increase the risk of serious injury or
death.

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap

while your vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the
child from injury in a crash, which may result in serious injury or death.

26 Child Safety

WARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.
They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or

death in a crash.

WARNING: Always restrain an unoccupied child seat or booster
seat. These objects may become projectiles in a crash or sudden

stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury.

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder

belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces
the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk
of injury or death in a crash.

WARNING: To avoid risk of injury, do not leave children or pets

unattended in your vehicle.

Child Safety 27

Note: The child seat must rest tightly against the vehicle seat upon
which it is installed. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See the Seats chapter for information on head restraints.

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder

belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it reduces
the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk
of injury or death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a child safety seat (generally children who are less
than 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four (4) and
less than age twelve (12), and between 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and
80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to 100 pounds (45 kilograms) if
recommended by your child restraint manufacturer). Many state and
provincial laws require that children use approved booster seats until
they reach age eight (8), a height of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, or
80 pounds (36 kilograms).

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these
questions when the child is seated without a booster seat.

• Can the child sit all the way
back against their vehicle seat
with knees bent comfortably at
the edge of the seat cushion?

• Can the child sit without
slouching?

• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?

• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?

• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction with your vehicle lap and
shoulder belt.

28 Child Safety

Types of Booster Seats

• Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head restraint, a
backless booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the
tops of the ears) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the
backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat back or
head restraint and lap and shoulder belts, or consider using a high back
booster seat.

• High back booster seats

If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that
adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be
a better choice.

2015 F-650/750 (f67)
Owners Guide gf (ownloose), 1st Printing, December 2013
Canadian_French (fr_can)

Child Safety 29

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that
keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the
stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and
rest snugly near the center of the shoulder. The following drawings
compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to
the neck and a shoulder belt that could slip off the shoulder. The
drawings also show how the lap belt should be low and snug across the
child’s hips.

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat upon which it is being used,
placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster
seat may improve this condition. Do not introduce any item thicker than
this under the booster seat. Check with the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions.

30 Child Safety

INSTALLING CHILD SAFETY SEATS

Using Automatic Locking Mode Combination Lap and Shoulder Belts (Front Passenger and Rear Outboard Seating Positions)

WARNING: Children 12 and under should be properly restrained
in the rear seat whenever possible.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block
access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.

When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:

• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.

• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap

and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety
seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place the vehicle seat back in the upright position.

• This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with
combination lap/shoulder belts:

Note: Although the child seat illustrated is a forward-facing child seat,
the steps are the same for installing a rear-facing child seat.

1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.

Canadian_French (fr_can)

Child Safety 31

2. Pull down on the shoulder belt
and then grasp the shoulder belt
and lap belt together.

3. While holding the shoulder and
lap belt portions together, route the
tongue through the child seat
according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure
the belt webbing is not twisted.

4. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) for that seating position until
you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage. Make sure the tongue is
latched securely by pulling on it.

32 Child Safety

5. To put the retractor in the
automatic locking mode, grasp the
shoulder portion of the belt and pull
downward until all of the belt is
pulled out.

• Allow the belt to retract to
remove slack. The belt will click
as it retracts to indicate it is in
the automatic locking mode.

6. Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is
in the automatic locking mode (you should not be able to pull more belt
out). If the retractor is not locked, unbuckle the belt and repeat Step 5.

7. Remove remaining slack from the

belt. Force the seat down with extra
weight (e.g., by pressing down or
kneeling on the child restraint while
pulling up on the shoulder belt in
order to force slack from the belt).

This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that exists once the
additional weight of the child is added to the child restraint. It also helps
to achieve the proper snugness of the child seat to the vehicle.
Sometimes, a slight lean toward the buckle helps to remove remaining
slack from the belt.

8. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). See Using
tether straps in this chapter.

Child Safety 33

9. Before placing the child in the
seat, forcibly move the seat forward
and back to make sure the seat is
securely held in place.

To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side
to side and forward and back. There should be no more than one inch
(two and a half centimeters) of movement for proper installation.

Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly
installed. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for
referral to a CPST.

Using Cinch Tongue Lap and Shoulder Belts (All Front Center and Super/Crew Cab Rear Center Positions)

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. If
you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move

seat all the way back.

WARNING: Rear facing child seats should never be placed in
front of an active airbag.

WARNING: Always use both lap and shoulder safety belt in the
Regular Cab center seating position if applicable.

The belt webbing below the tongue is the lap portion of the combination
lap and shoulder belt, and the belt webbing above the tongue is the
shoulder belt portion of the combination lap and shoulder belt.

you hear a snap and feel the latch
engage. Make sure the tongue is
latched securely by pulling on it.

5. While pushing down with your
knee on the child seat pull up on
the shoulder belt portion to tighten
the lap belt portion of the
combination lap and shoulder belt.

6. Allow the safety belt to retract and remove any slack in the belt to
securely tighten the child safety seat in the vehicle.

7. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). See Using
Tether Straps in this chapter.

8. Before placing the child into the
child seat, forcibly pull the child
seat forward and back to make sure
that the seat is held securely in
place. To check this, grab the seat
at the belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and forward
and back. There should be no more
than 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of
movement for proper installation.

9. Check from time to time to be sure that there is no slack in the lap
and shoulder belt. The shoulder belt must be snug to keep the lap belt
tight during a collision.

36 Child Safety

Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed.
In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for referral
to a Child Passenger Safety Technician.

Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two
lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet
(called the seat bight) and one top tether anchor located behind that
seating position. Your vehicle is not equipped with the lower anchor
points in the seat bight. For this vehicle, use the vehicle safety belt and
upper tether to secure a child seat. See Using Tether Straps and
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children in this chapter
for more information.

USING TETHER STRAPS

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which
extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring
point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an
accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your
child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a
longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach
the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The passenger seats of your vehicle may be equipped with built-in tether
strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

The tether anchors in your vehicle may be straps on the seat back or an
anchor bracket mounted to the body shell on the back panel.

Canadian_French (fr_can)

Child Safety 37

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions
(shown from top view):

• Regular Cab

• Crew Cab

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other
than the correct tether anchor.

Once the child safety seat has been installed using the safety belt, you
can attach the top tether strap.

Tether Strap Attachment

1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat.
For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under

the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the seat back. If the top of the safety
seat hits the head restraint, raise the head restraint to let the child seat
fit further rearward.

2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.

2015 F-650/750 (f67)
Owners Guide gf (ownloose), 1st Printing, December 2013
Canadian_French (fr_can)

38 Child Safety

3. You may need to pull the seat back forward to access the tether
anchors. Make sure the seat is locked in the upright position before
installing the child seat.

4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as shown:

• Front seats (Regular Cab) and

Rear seats (Crew Cab)

If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be
retained properly in the event of a crash.

5. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap, and the
child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends
its use.

Tether Strap Attachment (Rear SuperCab Only)

There are three loops of webbing just above the back of the rear seat
(along the bottom edge of the rear window) in the SuperCab. These
loops are to be used as both routing loops and anchor loops for up to
three child safety seat tether straps.

These straps may be secured below the back of the seat with rubber
bands. To access, reach below the back of the seat and pull the tether
loop out of the rubber band securing it.

2015 F-650/750 (f67)
Owners Guide gf (ownloose), 1st Printing, December 2013
Canadian_French (fr_can)

Child Safety 39

Many tether straps cannot be tightened if the tether strap is hooked to
the loop directly behind the child seat. To provide a tight tether strap:

1. Route the tether strap through
the loop directly behind the child
seat.

2. Attach the strap hook onto the
loop behind an adjacent seating
position.

3. Install the child safety seat tightly
using the vehicle belts. Follow the
instructions in this chapter.

4. Tighten the tether strap
according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions.

A single loop can be used to route and anchor more than one child seat.
For example, the center loop can be used as a routing loop for a child
safety seat in the center rear seat and as an anchoring loop for child
seats installed in the outboard rear seats.

Safety Belts 41

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seat back upright
and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit
where they can be properly restrained.

WARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap
while your vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the

child from injury in a crash.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,
should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an

airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside

or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these areas are
more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in
any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

WARNING: In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly

more likely to die than a person wearing a safety belt.

WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific

safety belt assembly which is made up of one buckle and one
tongue that are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt
on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the
arm. 2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.

WARNING: When possible, all children 12 years old and under

should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.

WARNING: Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle

that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a
small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.

42 Safety Belts

WARNING: Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant
women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an

accident.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front and rear seat passenger
outboard safety belts have vehicle sensitive emergency locking retractors
and automatic locking retractors.

The safety belt system consists of:

• Lap and shoulder safety belts.

• Shoulder safety belt with automatic locking mode (except driver

safety belt).

• Height adjuster at the front outboard seating positions.

• Safety belt warning light and chime. See Safety belt

warning light and indicator chime later in this chapter.

FASTENING THE SAFETY BELTS

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts.

1. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) until you hear a snap and feel
it latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened in the buckle.

2. To unfasten, press the release
button and remove the tongue from
the buckle.

Owners Guide gf (ownloose), 1st Printing, December 2013
Canadian_French (fr_can)

Safety Belts 43

Using the Safety Belt with Cinch Tongue (Front and Rear Center Seat)

The cinch tongue slides up and down the belt webbing when the belt is
stowed or while putting safety belts on. When the lap and shoulder
safety belt is buckled, the cinch tongue allows the lap portion to be
shortened, but pinches the webbing to keep the lap portion from getting
longer. The cinch tongue is designed to slip during a crash, so always
wear the shoulder belt properly and do not allow any slack in either the
lap or shoulder portions.

Before you can reach and latch a lap and shoulder belt having a cinch
tongue into the buckle, you may have to lengthen the lap belt portion of it.

1. To lengthen the lap belt, pull
some webbing out of the
shoulder belt retractor.

2. While holding the webbing
below the tongue, grasp the tip
(metal portion) of the tongue so
that it is parallel to the webbing
and slide the tongue upward.

3. Provide enough lap belt length
so that the tongue can reach the
buckle.

Fastening the Cinch Tongue

WARNING: The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible
around the hips, not across the waist.

1. Pull the lap and shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder
belt portion of the safety belt crosses your shoulder and chest.
Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the twist.

2.

3. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position
until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

4. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on
the tongue.

While you are fastened in the safety belt, the lap and shoulder belt with a
cinch tongue adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, turn
hard, or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the
safety belt becomes locked and helps reduce your forward movement.

44 Safety Belts

Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy

WARNING: Always ride and drive with your seatback upright

and the safety belt properly fastened. The lap portion of the
safety belt should fit snug and be positioned low across the hips. The
shoulder portion of the safety belt should be positioned across the
chest. Pregnant women should also follow this practice. See the
following figure.

Pregnant women should always
wear their safety belts. The lap belt
portion of a combination lap and
shoulder belt should be positioned
low across the hips below the belly
and worn as tight as comfort will
allow. The shoulder belt should be
positioned to cross the middle of
the shoulder and the center of the
chest.

Safety Belt Locking Modes

WARNING: After any vehicle crash, all safety belts should be

checked for proper function.

All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. The driver safety belt and the optional front and rear center seat
safety belt have the first locking mode described below only. All outboard
passenger and outboard rear safety belts have both types of locking
modes described as follows:

Vehicle Sensitive Mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition, the retractor is designed to lock if the webbing is pulled out
too quickly. If this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull webbing
out again in a slow and controlled manner.

Automatic Locking Mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt or the optional
front or rear center safety belt.

When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in a front
outboard passenger seating position or any outboard rear seating position (if
equipped). The optional front and rear seat center safety belt have a cinch
mechanism. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained
in a rear seating position whenever possible. See the Child Safety chapter.

How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire belt is pulled
out.

• Allow the belt to retract. As the belt

retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
This indicates the safety belt is now in the
automatic locking mode.

How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode

WARNING: After any vehicle crash, the safety belt system at all

passenger seating positions must be checked by an authorized
dealer to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child
seats is still functioning properly. In addition, all safety belts should be
checked for proper function.

WARNING: Belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the

safety belt assembly “automatic locking retractor” feature or any
other safety belt function is not operating properly when checked by an
authorized dealer. Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly
could increase the risk of injury in crashes.

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the
vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

46 Safety Belts

WARNING: Failure to replace the safety belt assembly under the
above conditions could result in severe personal injuries in the

event of a crash.

Energy Management Feature

• This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management
feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce
the risk of injury in the event of a head-on crash.

• The front outboard safety belt systems have a retractor assembly that
is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is
designed to help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.

Safety Belt Extension Assembly

WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the fit of the
shoulder belt across the torso.

If the safety belt is too short when fully extended, you can obtain a
safety belt extension assembly from an authorized dealer.

Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safety
belt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing on
the label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too
short for you when fully extended.

Lap belts

The front center lap belt does not adjust automatically.

WARNING: The lap belt should fit snugly and as low as possible
around the hips, not across the waist.

Insert the tongue into the correct
buckle (the buckle closest to the
direction the tongue is coming from).
To lengthen the belt, turn the tongue at
a right angle to the belt and pull across
your lap until it reaches the buckle. To
tighten the belt, pull the loose end of
the belt through the tongue until it fits
snugly across the hips.

CHILD RESTRAINT AND SAFETY BELT MAINTENANCE

Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child safety seat systems periodically
to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the
vehicle and child seat safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears
or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle safety belt assemblies, including
retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle assemblies, buckle support
assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if
equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat back (if equipped), child safety
seat LATCH and tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after a crash. Read the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for additional inspection and maintenance information
specific to the child restraint. Ford Motor Company recommends that all
safety belt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a crash be replaced.
However, if the crash was minor and an authorized dealer finds that the
belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a crash
should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper
operation is noted.

For proper care of soiled safety belts, see Cleaning the interior in the
Vehicle Care chapter.

the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.

E. Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: For better cooling in hot conditions, recirculated air automatically
engages when the air distribution control is in Panel or Panel/Floor
modes and the air conditioning is on. You can switch to fresh air by
pressing the recirculated air button again.

F. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.

G. Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Turn to select the desired temperature.

H. Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Turn to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch
the fan off, the windshield may fog up.

I. Power: Press to turn the system on and off. When the system is off,
outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.

GENERAL OPERATING TIPS

• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select Defrost. Temperature and fan speed can also be increased to
improve clearing.

• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base
of the windshield.

Cooling the interior quickly:

1. Adjust the fan speed to the highest speed setting initially and then

adjust it to suit the desired comfort level.

2. Adjust the temperature control to the lowest temperature setting.

3. Adjust the air distribution control to the MAX A/C position.

78 Climate Control

Recommended settings for cooling:

• Adjust the air distribution control to the A/C position.
If your vehicle is stationary for extended periods during extreme high

ambient temperatures:

• Select the MAX A/C position.
Gas engines: If your vehicle is stationary for long periods of time in

high ambient temperature conditions, your climate control system may
automatically switch from fresh air mode to recirculation mode. This is
normal system operation as it provides protection of the air conditioning
compressor (and related parts). It is recommended that you allow the
system to remain in this mode if it has switched. The system reverts
back to fresh air mode when conditions allow.

For maximum cooling performance, turn the air distribution control to
MAX A/C.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:

1. Select Panel/Floor.

2. Select A/C.

3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT POSITION

WARNING: Do not recline the seat back as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe

personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Do not place objects higher than the seat backs to
reduce the risk of injury in a crash or during heavy braking or

when stopping suddenly.

When you use them properly, the
seat, head restraint and safety belt
provide optimum protection in the
event of a crash. We recommend
that you follow these guidelines:

• Do not recline the seat back more than 30 degrees from vertical.

• Sit in an upright position with the base of your spine as far back as

possible.

• Adjust the head restraint so that the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as possible, remaining comfortable.

• Keep sufficient distance between yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches (250 millimeters) between your
breastbone and the center of the steering wheel.

• Hold the steering wheel with your arms slightly bent.

• Bend your legs slightly so that you can press the pedals fully.

• Position the shoulder strap of the safety belt over the center of your

shoulder and position the lap strap tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.

92 Starting and Stopping the Engine

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING: Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,

creating the risk of fire or other damage.

WARNING: Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle on dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the

engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.

WARNING: Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open

the garage door before you start the engine.

WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do

not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately five miles (eight kilometers)
after you connect it. This is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You may disregard any unusual
driving characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.

When starting your vehicle, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.

If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snowstorm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may partially clog with snow or ice.
If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant reduction in
power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow or ice away
from the air induction inlet.

WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have

this checked immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.

Important Ventilating Information

If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the following:

• Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters).

• Set your climate control to outside air.

Starting and Stopping the Engine 95

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

WARNING: Operation of a diesel engine near flammable vapors

in the air may cause the engine speed to increase uncontrollably
and over speed. If this situation occurs, mechanical damage, fire,
explosion, personal injury or death could result. Turning off the

ignition key does not slow or stop the engine due to uncontrollable
fueling of the engine through flammable vapors being drawn into
the engine air inlet. Operation of components such as starter,

alternator, electric motors, etc. and static electricity could also ignite
flammable vapors.
Do not operate the truck in the possible presence of flammable vapors
unless both a complete hazard analysis is performed and necessary
additional safety processes and/or equipment such as vapor testing, air
intake shutoff devices, ventilation, etc. are utilized. The operator is
responsible for using those processes and/or equipment to ensure that
the diesel engine and all other components on the truck can be
operated safely under the specific conditions and hazards that may be
encountered.

WARNING: If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use

ether or any other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids
(ether) in an engine equipped with an air intake heater could cause an
explosion and result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Switch the ignition on and wait until the glow plug indicator
goes off.

Note: You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 30 seconds at
a time. Allow two minutes before cranking the starter again.

Note: On some engines, the glow plug indicator illuminates after the
engine starts. Allow the engine to idle about three minutes, or until the
engine coolant temperature gauge begins to rise. Maintain idle speed
until the glow plug indicator goes off. Operating the engine at higher
speeds reduces the effectiveness of the air inlet heater.

Note: When starting a cold engine, increase the engine RPM slowly to
make sure adequate lubrication is available to the bearings.

96 Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note: Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure. The oil pressure gauge should indicate this
within 15 seconds after starting.

Note: Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating with a
full load.

Note: Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.

Vehicles with a Manual Transmission

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

1. Fully press the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with an Automatic Transmission

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

1. Select position N, or P (if equipped with a Park position).

2. Fully press the brake pedal.

3. Start the engine.

Starting the Engine with the Vehicle on a Steep Grade

When starting a diesel engine when the loaded vehicle is on a grade, the
engine RPM starts to fall slightly when you engage the clutch. Do not
disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage
driveline components. The engine recovers as the vehicle begins moving.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust

system is very high. Never work around, or attempt to repair, any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel particulate filter. The DPF heats up to a high
temperature after only a short period of engine operation, and can
remain hot even after the engine is turned off. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.

Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), as part of
the after-treatment exhaust system, to trap soot and other large particles
produced by the engine combustion process. You must periodically
reduce the soot that accumulates in the filter to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The engine and after-treatment system generally
perform the soot reduction process, also known as “filter regeneration,”
automatically.

Regeneration

Unlike a normal filter that requires periodic replacement, the DPF can
regenerate, or clean itself, to maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place automatically. A small increase in
engine or turbo sound level is normal during filter regeneration.
However, some driving conditions mean that you may need to support
the regeneration process:

• Operating in stop-and-go traffic or maintaining low speeds as in city
or delivery driving

• Frequent engine starting and stopping

• Relatively light vehicle payload

• Regular operation in cold ambient temperatures, such as below 0°F

(-18°C).

98 Starting and Stopping the Engine

Instrument cluster lamp(s) illuminates or flashes when operator
assistance is required. In addition, engine performance becomes
increasingly limited above Level 1.

At Levels 1 and 2, the operator can take two courses of action to
facilitate filter regeneration:

1. Drive your vehicle on the highway at highway speeds.

2. Perform a parked regeneration by following the steps in Parked

regeneration.

At Level 3, performing a parked regeneration is the only available course
of action (short of professional servicing) available to the operator for
regenerating the filter. At Level 4, professional servicing is the only way
to regenerate the filter.

Parked Regeneration

WARNING: When performing the parked regeneration

procedure, make certain the vehicle is safely off the roadway, and
the exhaust system is away from people, or any flammable materials,
vapors, or structures. Engine speed may increase during parked
regeneration.

Note: Parked regeneration is only available when the DPF lamp on the
instrument cluster is illuminated solid or flashing.

1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop on level ground and safely off
the road with the exhaust system away from people, flammable
materials, vapors or structures. Ford recommends that you perform a
walk-around before beginning a parked regeneration.

2. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission and a
steering column shift lever, place the transmission in position P.
Otherwise, place the transmission in position N.

3. Remove your feet from the accelerator pedal and clutch pedal
(manual transmission).

4. Set the parking brake.

5. Within five seconds of setting the parking brake, remove your foot
from the service brake pedal.

The engine speed may increase slightly. To allow parked regeneration to
continue uninterrupted:

1. The vehicle must remain parked.

2. The transmission must remain in position P or N as previously
described in Step 2.

Starting and Stopping the Engine 99

3. Do not press the accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, or clutch
pedal (manual transmission).

4. The parking brake must remain set.

On average, depending on filter level and other factors, the process takes
20–30 minutes to complete. The DPF lamp turns off when the process is
complete. Repeat Steps 1–5, if parked regeneration is interrupted.

To Discontinue Parked Regeneration

Press any of the floor pedals to discontinue parked regeneration.

Maintenance and Service

The DPF can retain a relatively large amount of residual ash and provide
many miles and hours of maintenance-free operation. At some point,
generally beyond 150000 miles (240000 kilometers) or 5000 hours of
operation (whichever comes first), the DPF requires professional
cleaning to remove the accumulated ash.

The exact number of miles or hours of operation vary greatly depending
upon vehicle and engine loading and operating conditions, ash content of
the engine oil, and quality of the diesel fuel used in your truck. Adhering
to your engine manufacturer’s recommended oil and fuel specifications
maximizes the miles and hours of operation before a DPF professional
cleaning is required. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
more details about recommended maintenance and service of your DPF.

Exhaust Outlet Assembly

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust

system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.

Note: Do not modify or remove this device. Modification of the system
or additions of aftermarket devices can reduce the effectiveness of the
system, as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. Any
modifications may also invalidate the vehicle or engine warranty. See
your warranty information.

Note: Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures that may
result in vehicle or property damage or personal injury.

The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning
device that accompanies the DPF assembly. It can help control the
temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.
