2000 FORD F650 engine

These and other temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the
fuel tank with good quality fuel. After three driving cycles without these
or any other temporary malfunctions present, theService Engine Soon
light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup
followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is
required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other
vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
Key-in-ignition warning chime
Sounds when the ignition key is left in the ignition in the OFF/LOCK or
ACC position and the driver’s door is opened.
Headlamps on warning chime

(and the key is not in the ignition) and the driver’s door is opened.

GAUGES
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON position). The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion. The ignition
should be in the OFF position while
the vehicle is being refueled. When
the gauge first indicates empty,
there is a small amount of reserve
fuel in the tank. When refueling the
vehicle from an empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added
will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the“H”and“C”). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer toEngine
coolantin theMaintenance and
carechapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication
will not be accurate.

Trip odometer
Registers the kilometers (miles) of
individual journeys. To reset,
depress the control.
Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer in the red zone may damage
the engine.
Battery voltage gauge
This shows the battery voltage when
the ignition is in the ON position. If
the pointer moves and stays outside
the normal operating range (as
indicated), have the vehicle’s
electrical system checked as soon as
possible.

Engine oil pressure gauge
This shows the engine oil pressure
in the system. Sufficient pressure
exists as long as the needle remains
in the normal range (the area
between the“L”and“H”).
If the gauge indicates low pressure,
stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible and switch off the engine
immediately. Check the oil level.
Add oil if needed (refer toEngine
oilin theMaintenance and care
chapter). If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your
dealership or by a qualified technician.
Air pressure gauge and warning buzzer (if equipped)
Indicates the amount of air pressure
in the brake system (green=primary,
red=secondary) in pounds per
square inch. When the pressure is
too low for normal brake operation
(less than 414 kPa [60 psi]) and the
ignition is turned to ON:
•a warning buzzer sounds
•the warning light illuminates
All vehicles have a dual-pointer air
pressure gauge to indicate the pressure in both brake circuits.
Do not drive the vehicle when the low air pressure buzzer is
sounding or the warning light is lit. These warnings indicate
there is not enough air pressure for the brake system to operate
properly.

One time disable
Anytime the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an ignition
ON cycle, Belt Minder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.
Deactivating/activating the belt minder feature
Read steps1-9thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The Belt Minder feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the
following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
•the parking brake is set
•the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or the neutral
position (manual transmission).
•the ignition switch is in the OFF position
•all vehicle doors are closed
•the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled
•the parklamps/headlamps are in OFF position (If vehicle is equipped
with Autolamps, this will not affect the procedure.)
To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the Belt
Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1–2
minutes)
•Steps 3–5 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure will
have to be repeated.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the
safety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during Belt Minder
warning activation.
4. Turn on the parklamps/headlamps, turn off the parklamps/headlamps.

STARTING PROCEDURES
Operating precautions
•Always shift to a lower gear at high altitudes to prevent engine
smoking.
•Avoid extended and unnecessary idling.
Do not operate a diesel engine where the vapors can be
combustible. These vapors can be sucked through the air intake
system and cause engine acceleration and overspeeding, which may
result in bodily injury and extensive property damage. The equipment
owner and operator are responsible for safe operation in a hostile
environment.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Ensure headlamps and all accessories are turned off and the parking
brake is applied.
2.Automatic transmissions,ensure gearshift is in N (Neutral).
3.Manual transmissions,ensure
gearshift is in neutral position and
clutch pedal depressed.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
air intake heater, the heater will
activate in cooler weather. If the
Wait to Start light illuminates,do
notcrank the engine until the light
goes off.
