ELECTRONIC SHIFT-ON-THE-FLY 4X4 SYSTEM
Rotate the knob and shi from 2WD to 4x4 High or Low:
2H (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only. This is appropriate for street and highway driving, providing optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds.
4H (4WD HIGH) provides extra traction, such as driving in snow or on icy roads, or for o-road situations. This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement.
4L (4WD LOW) uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. It is intended only for o-road applications, such as driving in deep sand or on steep grades, or while pulling heavy objects.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads. Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear. For more complete details, refer to the Four-Wheel Drive chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either 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.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel that has been seasonally adjusted for the weather.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
The system helps reduce carbon emissions, and requires the completion of periodic drives to clean it. The information display will prompt you to complete an operator­commanded regeneration procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning procedure maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter system that may not be covered under your warranty. See your Diesel Supplement for more information.
*IF EQUIPPED
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system that relies upon diesel exhaust fluid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper selective catalytic reduction system function. Make sure that you check your vehicle’s diesel exhaust fluid level during the oil change service interval, but certain conditions or driving styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, will require the refilling of the diesel exhaust fluid tank more oen. See the scheduled maintenance information in your Diesel Supplement for more information.
FUEL TYPE/TANK CAPACITY/FLEX FUEL*
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on body style and/or engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications section in your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube) and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel.
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible—at least half a tank. Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. You should drive the vehicle immediately aer refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR FEATURE
In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power. See your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
DIESEL ENGINE BRAKING FEATURE
In diesel-equipped vehicles, you can use this feature along with the Tow/Haul mode. When active, the engine braking feature helps to increase engine braking at higher engine speeds, providing better grade descent control with less brake and transmission wear and tear. Press panel to switch the system on and o.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has been equipped with a system that displays a low tire pressure warning light when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
