2006 FORD E-150 interior lights

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning light for additional information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Diesel engine, it has a unique cluster,
refer toStarting the engine in your 6.0 Liter Power Stroke Direct
Injection Turbo Diesel Owner’s Guide Supplement.
Service engine soon:TheService
engine soonindicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the ON position to check
the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On
Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On board diagnostics (OBD-II)in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

side marker lamps.

headlamps.
Battery saver
The battery saver can be set to turn off the courtesy lamps within 2 or
10 minutes if a door is left open and the key is not in the ignition.
Demand (manually switched on) interior lamps can be set to turn off
within 2 or 30 minutes after the key has been removed from the ignition.
Note:The vehicle is factory set at 2 minutes to turn off demand and
courtesy lamps. The vehicle will change to 10 minutes for courtesy lamps
and 30 minutes for demand interior lamps once the odometer reads over
50 miles.
To change the battery saver duration time, do the following:
1. Turn the key to the RUN position. Do not start the vehicle.
2. After the odometer is displayed, press and release the reset button 10
times within 60 seconds.
3. The words ’Battery Saver’ will be displayed.
4. Press the reset button to select/toggle between ’2 minutes’ or ’30
minutes’ duration.
5. Once your time choice is displayed, wait until the odometer is
displayed (approximately 30 seconds).
The battery saver feature will now work with the new time duration.
Note:Even when choosing the 30 minute time duration, the courtesy
lamps can only have a maximum on time of 10 minutes. Only demand
interior lamps will stay on for the entire 30 minute period.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
To adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel, rotate the dimmer
control clockwise/counterclockwise
when the headlamp control is in the
parking lamp or low-beam position.
To turn on the interior lamps, rotate
the dimmer control fully
counterclockwise.

position.
HEADLAMP AIM ADJUSTMENT
The headlamps are designed to be mechanically aimed, but can also be
aimed visually by doing the following:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away
from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at
night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern.
•(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(4) Horizontal reference line
•(5) Center of headlamps
•(6) Center line of the vehicle
2. The center of the headlamp is
marked either on the lens (a circle
or cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark or
feature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the
ground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on the
wall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).
