ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We recommend that you take some time to get to know your vehicle by reading this manual. The more that you know about your vehicle, the greater the safety and pleasure you will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when using any device that may take your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend against the use of any hand-held device while driving and encourage the use of voice-operated systems when possible. Make sure you are aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the use of electronic devices while driving.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle in line with all applicable laws and regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of your vehicle.

Note: Your vehicle’s powertrain control systems can detect and store information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain components commonly referred to as performance chips have been used. This information will stay in the system’s memory and cannot be erased even if the modification is removed. Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico and service or repair facilities can retrieve this information when servicing your vehicle. Ford Motor Company may use this information to determine if your warranty covers any needed repairs.

Note: Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission and/or exhaust system damage; refer to your warranty information for more information.

Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this guide. There is a special procedure for turning off the diesel engine. See Starting a Diesel Engine (page 86). It is important to read and understand this material in order to maintain the best service life for your engine.

Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice and without incurring obligations.

Note: Either Ford Motor Company or an authorized Ford dealer may have originally sold this incomplete vehicle to a vehicle modifier who upfitted it. As a result, some of the options and features on this vehicle may differ from what we describe in this manual.

This manual may qualify the location of a component as left-hand side or right-hand side. The side is determined when facing forward in the seat.

Warnings

WARNING

Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the warning

symbol. Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the risk of personal injury.

Diesel Engine Information

The diesel engine fuel system is a pressurized two-stage filtration system and consists of:

• A frame-mounted Fuel and Water

Separator primary filter with an electric fuel pump and water drain

• An engine-mounted secondary fuel

filter

• A fuel injector for each cylinder (8

total)

• A high-pressure fuel pump

• A high-pressure fuel rail for each

cylinder bank (2 total)

• Numerous high-pressure pipes from

the high-pressure pump to the rails, and rails to the injectors

The fuel and water separator removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine-mounted filter filters finer impurities from the diesel fuel. The engine-mounted fuel filter and the frame-mounted fuel filter should be changed at the recommended service interval or when indicated by the information display LOW FUEL PRESSURE message. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 314).

The fuel and water separator should be drained at regular intervals (recommended at every oil change) or when indicated by the information display and water in fuel indicator light. See Fuel Quality (page

92). Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt

water draining when the water in fuel light illuminates is essential to prevent injection equipment damage. Ignoring the water in fuel light or the information display message WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER can cause your vehicle to go into a reduced power mode.

A frame-mounted electric fuel pump located inside the fuel and water separator draws fuel from the fuel tank to provide pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel pump contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted flow.

The fuel injection system is controlled through the powertrain control module.

Engine Protection Mode

Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These modified engine performance characteristics are normal.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Introduction

Page 12

If these modified engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period and either the service engine soon or powertrain malfunction, reduced power, electronic throttle control light is illuminated, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Service engine soon

Powertrain malfunction, reduced power, electronic throttle control

Diesel Lubrication System

It is important to change the engine oil at the recommended service intervals or when indicated by the information display to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and filter change interval beyond the recommended interval can negatively affect engine performance, fuel economy and engine life. See Engine Oil Check (page 186).

Engine and secondary cooling system

The cooling system contains a primary cooling loop to cool the engine and a secondary cooling loop to cool the transmission, charge air, and fuel. The coolant serves three primary purposes: to provide heat transfer, freeze point protection, and corrosion protection using additives.

Vehicles with diesel engines typically are used to carry heavy loads and accumulate mileage rapidly. These two factors may cause the additives in the coolant to wear out in a shorter time. You can find more information about coolant additives and coolant change intervals in the coolant chapter. See General Maintenance Information (page 314). Operating the engine with insufficient coolant or coolant additive can cause severe engine damage.

Selective catalytic reduction system

Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system designed to reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This system relies on the use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) that you must replenish at certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper DEF levels or if the DEF becomes contaminated will result in vehicle speed limitations or result in your vehicle entering an idle-only mode. See Selective

Catalytic Reduction System (page 95).

Minor Troubleshooting Guide

If the engine won’t crank

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after

handling.

Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when the ignition is turned to the start position, the lights become dim or go out, the battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the engine compartment when you turn the key to the start position, this may also indicate a loose or corroded battery connection.

Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to the engine grounding point and at the starter connection.

If you suspect a discharged battery, have it checked and corrected.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Introduction

Page 13

• The gearshift lever must be in P (Park)

or N (Neutral) in order for the starter to operate.

• Try operating the starter switch several

times. This operation may clean potentially corroded contacts or make the switch temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.

• If all electrical connections are tight

and you need assistance to start, See

Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 153).

If engine cranks but won’t start

Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause damage to the starter motor or the high-pressure fuel pump.

• Check the fuel gauge. You may be out

of fuel. If the gauge shows that there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the tank control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty tank.

• Leaving your ignition key turned to on

for over two minutes without starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and then back to on again.

Note: If the system is out of fuel and the engine will not start, do not continue cranking the engine. Continued cranking can damage the high-pressure fuel pump.

If the engine runs hot

The following could cause the engine to overheat:

• Lack of coolant

• Dirty cooling system.

• Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser

and/or oil cooler

• Malfunctioning fan drive

• Driving with frozen coolant

• Sticking thermostat

• Overloading or pulling heavy trailers

during hot weather

• Grill or radiator air blockage

• Slipping or missing drive belt

• Plugged or very dirty air filter

If fuses burn out

WARNING

Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always be the same

rating as the original equipment shown. Never replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow circuit overloading in the event of a circuit malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle damage or personal injury due to fire.

Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit, although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause, return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check. See

Changing a Fuse (page 170).

Selective catalytic reduction system speed limit and Idle-only modes

If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an idle-only mode, the selective catalytic reduction system may be limiting the vehicle’s functions due to low or contaminated DEF. Check the DEF. See

Selective Catalytic Reduction System

(page 95).

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

WARNINGS

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.

All children are shaped differently.

The recommendations for safety

restraints are based on probable child height, age and weight thresholds from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other safety organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and consult your pediatrician to make sure your child seat is appropriate for your child, and

WARNINGS

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 go to 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, 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.

Do not leave children or animals unattended in the vehicle. On hot

days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are particularly at risk.

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children

Recommended restraint

type

Child size, height, weight, or ageChild

Use a child safety seat

(sometimes called an

infant carrier, convertible

seat, or toddler seat).

Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less

(generally age four or younger).

Infants or

toddlers

Use a belt-positioning

booster seat.

Children who have outgrown or no longer

properly fit in a child safety seat (gener-

ally children who are less than 4 ft. 9 in.

(1.45 m) tall, are greater than age four and less than age 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).

Small children

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.

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 recom-

mended by child restraint manufacturer).

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 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.

Child Safety

Page 22

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).

Using Lap and Shoulder Belts

WARNINGS

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

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 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 and 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 upon which the

child seat will be installed 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 and 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.

E142528

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

E142529

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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 23

E142530

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.

E142531

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.

E142875

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.

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

7. 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 Steps 5 and 6.

E142533

8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, for example, 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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 24

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

9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped).

E142534

10. 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 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of movement for proper installation.

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 Certified Passenger Seat Technician.

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

WARNINGS

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.

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

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.

E142528

1. Position the child safety seat in the front center seat.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 25

E162708

2. Slide the tongue up the webbing.

E142530

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

E142531

E142533

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).

E142534

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 26

8. 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 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 crash.

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 seatback 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.

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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 27

F-Series Regular Cab

E162709

F-Series Crew Cab

E162711

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.

Note: 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.

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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 28

E214601

4. Remove the tether cover.

E214602

5. 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.

6. 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.

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, 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 seated without a booster seat:

E142595

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 29

• Can the child sit all the way back against their vehicle seat back 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.

Types of Booster Seats

E68924

• 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.

E70710

• 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.

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.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 30

E142596

E142597

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.

CHILD RESTRAINT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

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

WARNINGS

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.

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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Child Safety

Page 31

WARNINGS

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.

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.

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.

WARNINGS

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.

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.

To avoid risk of injury, do not leave

children or pets unattended in your

vehicle.

Child Safety

Page 33

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Always drive and ride with the seat backrest upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

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

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.

All occupants of the vehicle,

including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly wear your safety belt could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

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.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more likely to

die than a person wearing a safety belt.

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.

WARNINGS

When possible, all children 12 years old and under should be properly

restrained in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

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.

Front and rear seat occupants,

including pregnant women, should

wear safety belts for optimum protection in an accident.

All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder safety belts. All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.

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 pretensioner at the front

outboard seating positions.

• Safety belt warning light and chime.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

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

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Seatbelts

Page 34

E142587

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.

E142588

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

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

The cinch tongue will slide 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 will allow 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.

E162708

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.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Seatbelts

Page 35

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.

2. Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted, remove the twist.

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 5.0 mph (8 km/h) or more, the safety belt will become locked and help reduce your forward movement.

Lap Belts

WARNING

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

The front center lap belt does not adjust automatically.

E208768

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.

Shorten and fasten the belt when not in use.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Seatbelts

Page 36

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.

E142590

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

Safety Belt Locking Modes

WARNINGS

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.

WARNINGS

The belt and retractor 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.

The safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The driver safety belt has the first type of locking mode. The front outboard passenger and rear outboard seat 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 optional front center or rear center safety belt.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Seatbelts

Page 37

When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

Use this mode any time a child safety seat, except a booster, is installed in passenger front or rear seating positions. You should properly restrain children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible. See Child Safety (page 17).

How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

E142591

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt.

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

3. 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

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.

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 on a label located either at the end of the webbing or on the retractor behind the trim. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is too short for you when fully extended.

SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Position the safety belt height adjuster so that the belt rests across

the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

CHILD RESTRAINT AND SEATBELT 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.

Properly care for safety belts. See Vehicle Care (page 225).

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (If Equipped)

Note: The 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: Metallic objects, electronic devices or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting problems if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. Prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. Switch the ignition off, move all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine if a problem occurs.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

SecuriLock™

The system is an engine immobilization system. It helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a coded key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may prevent the engine from starting. A message may appear in the information display.

If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, the system has malfunctioned. A message may appear in the information display.

Automatic Arming

The system arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the system.

Replacement Keys

Note: Your vehicle may have two integrated

keyhead transmitters.

The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as a programmed ignition key. It operates all the locks, starts the vehicle and acts as a remote control.

If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys are lost or stolen and you do not have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. You need to erase the key codes from your vehicle and program new coded keys.

Store an extra programmed key away from your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. See an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.

Programming a Spare Key

Note: You can program a maximum of eight

coded keys to your vehicle. Only four of these can be integrated keyhead transmitters.

You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitter or standard SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program both the engine immobilizer keycode and the remote entry portion of the remote control to your vehicle.

Only use integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLock keys.

You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new unprogrammed key readily accessible. See an authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are not available.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air 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 fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks, drip marks or large droplets).

• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are:

• A water puddle inside the lamp.

• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal operating range (between L and H). If the needle falls below the normal range, stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot.

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator is in the normal range. If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge

Indicates transmission fluid temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator is in the normal range. If the transmission fluid temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and verify the airflow is not restricted such as snow or debris blocking airflow through the grille.

Special operating conditions, such as snowplowing, towing or off-road use, can cause higher than normal operating temperatures. See Special Operating

Conditions Scheduled Maintenance

(page 326).

Operating the transmission for extended periods with the gauge in the higher than normal area may cause internal transmission damage. We recommend altering the severity of the driving conditions to lower the transmission temperature into the normal range. If the gauge continues to show high temperatures, contact an authorized dealer.

Fuel Gauge

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly

when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge indicates approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon.

After refueling, some variability in needle position is normal:

• It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station.

• The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station.

• If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle.

garage or in other enclosed areas.

Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by your authorized dealer immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. You can 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 or radio noise.

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

If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow storm or blowing snow conditions, the engine air induction may become partially clogged with snow and ice. If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow and ice away from the air induction inlet.

IGNITION SWITCH

E163165

A (off) - The ignition is off. Note: When you switch the ignition off and

leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in the ignition. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge.

B (accessory) - Allows the electrical accessories, such as the radio, to operate while the engine is not running.

Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this position for too long. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge.

C (on) - All electrical circuits are operational and the warning lamps and indicators illuminate.

D (start) - Cranks the engine.

• Turn the ignition key to the on position.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Turn the key to the start position to start the engine. Release the key when the engine starts.

Note: The engine may continue cranking for up to 15 seconds or until it starts.

Note: If you cannot start the engine on the first try, wait for a short period and try again.

Failure to Start

If you cannot start the engine after three attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this procedure:

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.

3. Start the engine.

Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Stationary

1. Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).

2. Turn the key to the off position.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Stopping the Engine When Your Vehicle is Moving

WARNING

Switching off the engine when the vehicle is still moving will result in a

loss of brake and steering assistance. The steering will not lock, but higher effort will be required. When the ignition is switched off, some electrical circuits, including air bags, warning lamps and indicators may also be off. If the ignition was turned off accidentally, you can shift into neutral (N) and re-start the engine.

1. Put the transmission into neutral (N)

and use the brakes to bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

2. When your vehicle has stopped, shift

into park (P) or neutral (N) and switch the ignition off.

3. Apply the parking brake.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes

WARNING

If you smell exhaust fumes inside

your vehicle, have your vehicle

checked by your authorized dealer 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 then leave the engine idling for long periods of time, we recommend that you do one of the following:

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 89

• Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).

• Set your climate control to outside air.

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, for example starter, alternator, electric motors and static electricity could also ignite flammable vapors. Do not operate your vehicle in the possible presence of flammable vapors unless both a complete hazard analysis is carried out and necessary additional safety processes and/or equipment, for example vapor testing, air intake shutoff devices and ventilation are utilized. You are responsible for using those processes and/or equipment to make sure that the diesel engine and all other components on your vehicle can be operated safely under the specific conditions and hazards that may be encountered.

Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle.

Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow Plug System

The diesel engine glow system consists of:

• Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)

• Glow Plug Control Module

• Engine Coolant Temperature sensor

• Barometric pressure sensor

• Environmental temperature sensor

The powertrain and glow plug control modules electronically control the glow plug system. After you switch the ignition on the glow plug control module immediately energizes the glow plugs. The glow plug control module using the engine coolant temperature, barometric pressure sensor and environmental temperature sensor will determine how long the glow plugs stay energized. The required time for the glow plugs to be energized decreases as the coolant temperature, barometric pressure and environmental temperature increase.

Before starting the engine, check the following:

• Make sure all occupants have fastened their safety belts.

• Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.

• Make sure the parking brake is on.

• Make sure the transmission is in park

(P) or neutral (N).

• Turn the ignition key to the on position.

Note: Do not press the accelerator during starting.

Cold Weather Starting

WARNINGS

Do not use starting fluid, for example ether, in the air intake system (see

air filter decal). Such fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.

Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol

or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This

practice creates a serious fire hazard and causes engine performance problems.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 90

We recommend using the engine block heater for starting when the ambient temperature is at or below-9°F (-23°C) See Engine Block Heater (page 88).

When operating in cold weather, you can use Motorcraft® cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from a reputable manufacturer as needed.

Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds as starter damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to the off position and wait 30 seconds before trying again.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold weather starting strategy that prevents severe engine damage by assisting in engine lubrication warm-up. In extremely cold ambient temperatures, this strategy activates and prevents the accelerator pedal use for 30 seconds after starting your vehicle. A message appears in the information display as your vehicle warms up. By not allowing the accelerator pedal use, the engine oil can properly lubricate the bearings preventing engine damage due to lack of proper lubrication. After the 30-second warm-up period, the accelerator pedal is operational again and a message appears informing you that your vehicle is ok to drive.

When starting the engine in extremely cold temperatures, for example -15°F (-26°C), we recommend you allow the engine to idle for several minutes before driving your vehicle.

Illuminates when you switch the ignition on as part of the pre-starting system.

1. Turn the key to the on position without turning the key to the start position. Do not start the engine until the wait to start indicator turns off.

2. When the wait to start indicator turns off, turn the key to the start position and release the key as soon as the engine starts. After starting the engine, the glow plugs may remain on for a period. If you do not start the engine before the glow plug activation time ends, you need to reset the glow plugs by turning the key to the off position.

3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is to protect the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter. The diesel particulate filter is an inline filter in the exhaust system that reduces carbon emissions by trapping exhaust particles before they reach the tailpipe. The diesel particulate filter looks similar to a traditional exhaust catalyst, except larger, and is part of the exhaust system under your vehicle. The filter couples to a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces the amount of harmful exhaust emitted from the tailpipe. As soot gathers in the system, it begins to restrict the filter. Periodically, you need to clean the soot that gathers inside the filter. You can clean the soot in two different ways, passive regeneration and active regeneration. See Emission Control System (page 105). Both methods occur automatically and require no actions from the driver. During either one of these regeneration methods, you may notice a change in exhaust tone. At certain times, various messages related to the diesel particulate filter appear in the information displays.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 91

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it down. The larger the engine, the greater the need is for this idling period.

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

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (If

Equipped)

WARNING

In the event of engine shutdown, make sure your vehicle is safely off

the road and the problem is resolved before returning to the road. Failure to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death.

This feature automatically shuts down the engine when it has been idling in park (P) or neutral (N) for an extended period, depending on the setting.

When the engine idle shutdown process has started:

• A chime sounds and a message

appears in the information display showing a timer counting down from 30 seconds.

• You can reset the timer by pressing the

brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or by shifting into another gear.

• If you do not intervene within 30

seconds, the engine shuts down and a message appears in the information display alerting you that the engine has shut down.

• Shortly after the engine has shut down, the electrical system simulates a key off and even though the ignition is still on, the electrical system simulates a normal accessory delay period before shutting down.

• You must switch the ignition off to reset the system before restarting your vehicle.

The engine idle shutdown timer does not start if:

• The engine is operating in battery charge protect or power take-off mode.

• The exhaust emission control device is regenerating.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

Failure to follow engine block heater instructions could result in property damage or serious personal injury.

Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged adapters. There is a risk

of electrical shock.

Note: The heater is most effective when outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by warming the engine coolant. This allows the climate control system to respond quickly. The equipment includes a heater element (installed in the engine block) and a wire harness. You can connect the system to a grounded 120-volt AC electrical source.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Page 92

We recommend that you do the following for a safe and correct operation:

• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord that is product certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This extension cord must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold temperatures, and be clearly marked Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances. Do not use an indoor extension cord outdoors. This could result in an electric shock or become a fire hazard.

• Use as short an extension cord as possible.

• Do not use multiple extension cords.

• Make sure that when in operation, the

extension cord plug and heater cord plug connections are free and clear of water. This could cause an electric shock or fire.

• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a clean area, clear of combustibles.

• Make sure the heater, heater cord and extension cord are firmly connected.

• Check for heat anywhere in the electrical hookup once the system has been operating for approximately 30 minutes.

• Make sure the system is unplugged and properly stowed before starting and driving your vehicle. Make sure the protective cover seals the prongs of the block heater cord plug when not in use.

• Make sure the heater system is checked for proper operation before winter.

Using the Engine Block Heater

Make sure the receptacle terminals are clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with a dry cloth if necessary.

The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours of energy per hour of use. The system does not have a thermostat. It achieves maximum temperature after approximately three hours of operation. Using the heater longer than three hours does not improve system performance and unnecessarily uses electricity.

Rapid Heat Supplemental Heating System

Note: Additional aftermarket electrical

loads operated during engine warm up may affect the performance of the rapid heat supplemental heater.

The optional rapid heat feature is an electrically powered device that provides supplemental heat during engine warm up. During initial warm up, you should use a mid to low blower speed for maximum effectiveness. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the climate control unit determines the appropriate blower speed for existing conditions.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray

and fire.

The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound

near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.

Fuels can cause serious injury or

death if misused or mishandled.

Gasoline may contain benzene,

which is a cancer-causing agent.

When refueling always shut the

engine off and never allow sparks or

open flames near the fuel tank filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.

Flow of fuel through a fuel pump

nozzle can produce static electricity.

This can cause a fire if you are filling an ungrounded fuel container.

Stop refueling after the fuel pump

nozzle automatically shuts off for the

second time. Failure to follow this will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel overflowing.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:

• Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before refueling your vehicle.

• Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be visible for hours.

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases, excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If you splash fuel in your eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If you splash fuel on your skin, clothing or both, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.

• Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiram

for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 94

personal injury or sickness may result. If you splash fuel on your skin, promptly wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.

Low Fuel Pressure (If Equipped)

Diesel engine vehicles have a low fuel pressure detection system.

The following are possible causes for a low fuel pressure warning message to appear in the information display:

• Cold start or during cold operation below 32°F (0°C). If the low fuel pressure message appears during a cold start or up to 10 minutes after the initial cold start, monitor the information display. If the low fuel pressure message disappears and does not re-appear after the engine has fully warmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is what most likely caused the message. Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This may result in damage to the fuel injectors and systems. Use an anti-gel additive. See Capacities and Specifications (page

256).

Note: The vehicle Warranty may be void if you use additives that do not meet or exceed Ford specifications. If the low fuel pressure message persistently appears after re-fueling and then disappears when the engine has fully warmed up, consider using different fuel sources.

• Low fuel operation: If the low fuel pressure message appears when your vehicle is warm and during low fuel tank level operation (near empty), refuel your vehicle. If the message reappears after fueling, see below. If the message does not come back, the low fuel pressure condition was due to low fuel levels in the fuel tank.

• Normal operation: If the low fuel pressure message appears during normal operation when the engine is fully warm, and fuel level is not low, you must change the fuel filters regardless of the maintenance schedule interval.

• If replacement of the fuel filter does not remedy the low fuel pressure message during normal operation as defined above, take the vehicle to an authorized dealer.

FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE

Choosing the Right Fuel

E161513

We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some fuel stations offer fuels posted as regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. We do not recommend fuels with an octane rating below 87.

Do not use any fuel other than those recommended because they could lead to engine damage that may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 95

Note: Use of any fuel other than those

recommended can impair the emission control system and cause a loss of vehicle performance.

Do not use:

• Diesel fuel.

• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

• Fuel containing more than 10% ethanol

or E85 fuel.

• Fuels containing methanol.

• Fuels containing metallic-based

additives, including manganese-based compounds.

• Fuels containing the octane booster additive, methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

• Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is prohibited by law).

The use of fuels with metallic compounds such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT), which is a manganese-based fuel additive, will impair engine performance and affect the emission control system.

Do not be concerned if the engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel with the recommended octane rating, contact an authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

Fuel Requirements - Choosing The Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Is Required (United States/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands And Other Locales)

You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as number 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of 15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. You may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels should meet the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications. Outside of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.

Note: The vehicle Warranty does not cover damage caused by using an improper type of fuel or fuel additive.

Note: Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any circumstances. Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase your vehicle’ s exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased internal wear.

Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur

diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in your diesel engine will cause certain emission components to malfunction which may also cause the service engine soon light to illuminate indicating an emissions-related concern.

Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results at temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient conditions.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 96

Fuel Requirements - Choosing The Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Is Not Required

For the engine to operate reliably on low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the engine must be a factory built high-sulfur engine (available as a dealer order option for select markets) or an ultra low sulfur diesel fuel configured engine that has been retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using Ford Motor Company dealer service parts. Failure to use retrofit components other than those available through your authorized dealer will result in coolant system damage, engine overheating, selective catalyst reduction system or diesel particulate filter damage and possible base engine damage.

Use only a diesel engine configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel may result in damage to engine emission control devices and the aftertreatment system, potentially rendering the vehicle inoperable.

Vehicles with engines configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel are only available for sale in countries where ultra low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not available or mandated by the government. Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfur diesel fuel market that are subsequently exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel markets will need to be retrofitted (at the customer’s expense using Ford authorized dealer service parts) in order to be reliably operated on non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.

Biodiesel

WARNINGS

Do not use home heating oil, agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils,

waste cooking greases, biodiesel fuels greater than 20% or any diesel fuel not intended for highway use. Damage to the fuel injection system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper fuel is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard and engine performance problems.

Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline,

gasohol or alcohol. This could cause

an explosion resulting in personal injury.

Do not add gasoline, gasohol or

alcohol to diesel fuel. This practice

creates a serious fire hazard resulting in personal injury and engine performance problems.

Do not use home heating oil or any

diesel fuel not intended for highway

use. Damage to the fuel injection system, engine, exhaust catalyst and diesel particulate filter can occur if an improper fuel is used. Red dye is used to identify fuels intended for agricultural and non-highway use.

You may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also known as B20.

Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted product from renewable fuel sources, such as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste cooking greases.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 97

To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability when using biodiesel in your vehicle:

• Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less

• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality that complies with industry standards

• Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 314).

• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month

• Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE message appearing

• Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases

Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater than 20% may cause damage to your vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust after-treatment hardware (exhaust catalyst and particulate filter) failures. Concentrations greater than 20% can also cause fuel filter restrictions that may result in a lack of power or damage to fuel system components, including fuel pump and fuel injector failures.

SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil is recommended for fuels with greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Special operating conditions section under the Schedule Maintenance chapter for more information about oil change intervals and other maintenance when operating on biodiesel.

Look for a label on the fuel pump to confirm the amount of biodiesel contained in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is often indicated with the letter B followed by the percent of biodiesel in the fuel. For example, B20 indicates a fuel containing 20% biodiesel. Ask the service station attendant to confirm the biodiesel content of a diesel fuel if you do not see a label on the fuel pump.

Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and should not be stored in the fuel tank for more than 1 month. If you plan to park or store your vehicle for more than 1 month, then you should empty your vehicle fuel tank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill the tank with a pure petroleum-based diesel fuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can damage fuel system seals and plastics and corrode steel parts.

During cold weather, if you have problems operating on biodiesel, you may need to use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue the use of biodiesel.

Diesel Fuel Additives

It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket additives to your fuel if you use a high quality diesel fuel that conforms to ASTM industry specifications. Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel injector system or engine.

Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an equivalent cetane booster additive if you suspect fuel has low cetane. Use Motorcraft® anti-gel & performance improver or an equivalent additive if there is fuel gelling.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 98

Do not use alcohol-based additives to improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol additives may result in damage to the fuel injectors and system. See Capacities and Specifications (page 261).

The Vehicle Warranty may not cover repairs needed to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product that does not meet Ford specifications in your fuel.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL - 6.8L

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components.

If you run out of fuel:

• You may need to switch the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. When restarting, cranking time takes a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may be required.

• The service engine soon indicator may come on. See Warning Lamps and

Indicators (page 58).

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL - 6.7L DIESEL

Avoid running out of fuel as this allows air to enter the fuel system, which makes restarting your vehicle difficult.

If your vehicle runs out of fuel:

• If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, adding 4 gal (15 L) to 5 gal (19 L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 4 gal (15 L) to 5 gal (19 L) may be required.

• The fuel system must be primed before attempting to restart the engine.

• Use caution not to overheat and damage the starter by cranking the engine for an excessive period. You may need to crank the engine for a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in 30 seconds, turn the ignition to the off position and wait for two minutes before cranking the engine again.

• Any remaining trapped air self-purges from the fuel system once the engine starts running.

• The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period.

Purging Air from the Fuel System

Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds, then turn it to off. Do this six times in a row to purge any trapped air from the fuel system.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM

Your vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the exhaust system. The system automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable correct selective catalytic reduction system function.

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 99

Importance of Maintaining the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level

In order for the selective catalytic reduction system to operate correctly the diesel exhaust fluid level must be maintained.

A message appears in the information display when the diesel exhaust fluid level is low and needs to be refilled. When you see a warning message, refill the tank as soon as possible. See Information

Messages (page 64).

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank

WARNINGS

Make sure that diesel exhaust fluid does not come into contact with

eyes, skin or clothing. Should any diesel exhaust fluid contact your eyes, flush them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin with soap and water. If any diesel exhaust fluid is swallowed, drink plenty of water and contact a physician immediately.

Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a

well-ventilated area. When opening

the cap on the diesel exhaust fluid tank or bottle containing diesel exhaust fluid, ammonia vapors may escape. The vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the eyes, throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.

E210722

The diesel exhaust fluid tank has a blue filler cap and the tank is behind the left-hand front wheel. Fill the tank using a fluid pump at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or a diesel exhaust fluid container. We recommend Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid, the containers are spill proof and stop the flow of fluid when the tank is full. See Capacities and Specifications (page 256).

E163354

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Fuel and Refueling

Page 100

You must only use diesel exhaust fluid that is certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The vehicle Warranty does not cover repairs resulting from the use of non-certified diesel exhaust fluid products.

Note: Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. This can cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at an authorized dealer, most highway truck stops or you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that sells diesel exhaust fluid. In addition, there is a government website to help you find the nearest location to purchase diesel exhaust fluid: http://www.discoverdef.com.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Using a Fuel Station Pump

Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The nozzle shuts off automatically when the tank is full.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Using a Container

The following procedure applies to Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid or similar fluid containers. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

1. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid container cap. Place the spout on to the container and tighten it until you feel a strong resistance.

2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap.

3. Insert the spout in to the filler neck until the seal on the spout seats on to the filler neck. Pour the fluid in to the tank. When the tank is full the fluid stops flowing automatically.

4. Return the container to the vertical position slightly below the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid remaining in the spout to drain back in to the container.

5. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the diesel exhaust fluid tank cap.

6. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and replace the cap.

7. Wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted surfaces with water and a damp cloth.

Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the container retain it for later use. The spout is re-useable. Wash the spout with clean water prior to storage. Do not use the diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other fluid.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in Cold Climates

Diesel exhaust fluid freezes below 12°F (-11°C); however, your vehicle has an automatic heating system which allows the diesel exhaust fluid system to operate below 12°F (-11°C). When your vehicle is not in operation for an extended period with temperatures at or below 12°F (-11°C), the diesel exhaust fluid tank could freeze.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Warning Messages and Vehicle Operations

WARNINGS

Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilled when low or replaced when

contaminated or your vehicle speed becomes limited to 50 mph (80 km/h). In these conditions, drive with caution and refill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. If the diesel exhaust fluid becomes empty or contaminated and fluid is not replaced,
