GETTING THE SERVICES YOU NEED
At home
Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada have authorized dealerships to
service your vehicle. It is preferred that you return to the authorized
dealer where your vehicle was purchased when warranty repairs are
needed. However, you may also take your vehicle to another Ford Motor
Company or Ford of Canada dealership authorized for warranty repairs.
Please note that certain warranty repairs require special training and/or
equipment, so not all dealers are authorized to perform all warranty
repairs. That means that depending on the warranty repair needed, the
vehicle may need to be taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership
cannot assist you, then contact the Commercial Vehicle Hotline.
If you have questions or concerns, or are unsatisfied with the service you
are receiving, follow these steps:
1. Contact your Sales Representative or Service Advisor at your
selling/servicing dealership.
2. If your inquiry or concern remains unresolved, contact the Sales
Manager or Service Manager at the dealership.
3. If the inquiry or concern cannot be resolved at the dealership level,
please contact the Ford Commercial Vehicle Hotline.
Away from home
If you own a F-650 or F-750 and need more help than the dealership can
provide after following the steps provided above call the Ford Fleet and
Commercial Vehicle Hotline.

GETTING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE THE U.S AND CANADA
Before exporting your vehicle to a foreign country, contact the
appropriate foreign embassy or consulate. These officials can inform you
of local vehicle registration regulations and where to find diesel fuel.
If you cannot find diesel fuel or can only get fuel with an anti-knock
index lower than is recommended for your vehicle, contact a regional
office or owner relations/customer relationship office.
The use of low quality diesel fuel may affect your emissions control
system and may cause engine damage. Ford Motor Company/Ford of
Canada is not responsible for any damage caused by use of improper
fuel. In the United States, using leaded fuel may also result in difficulty
importing your vehicle back into the U.S.
Ford dealerships outside of the US & Canada may be unable to support
the F–650/750 due to the specialized training and servicing requirements
of these vehicles. If your vehicle must be serviced while you are traveling
or living in Central or South America, the Caribbean, or the Middle East,
contact the nearest Ford dealership. If the dealership cannot help you,
write or call:

you to the nearest Ford affiliate office.
If you buy your vehicle in North America and then relocate outside of
the U.S. or Canada, register your vehicle identification number (VIN) and

Diesel particulate filter regeneration (Cummins engine only)
Under most operating conditions, DPF regeneration will be transparent
to the operator. A small increase in engine/turbo sound-level is normal
during filter regeneration. If, however, your engine is operated for
extended periods of time under one of the following conditions, operator
assistance may be required to facilitate the filter regeneration process:
•Vehicle is operated in stop-and-go traffic and/or maintains low speeds
as in a city/delivery driving
•Engine is started and shut-off frequently
•Vehicle payload is relatively light
•Vehicle is regularly operated in cold ambient temperatures (i.e. below
0°F [-18°C])

Instrument cluster lamp(s) will
illuminate and/or flash when
operator assistance is required. In
addition, engine performance will
become increasingly limited above
Level 1.
At Levels 1 and 2, two courses of action may be taken by the operator to
facilitate filter regeneration:
1. The vehicle may be driven on the highway at highway speeds,
2. The operator may perform a parked regeneration by following the
steps inParked regeneration procedure (Cummins engine only).
At Level 3, performing a parked regeneration is the only available course
of action (short of professional servicing) available to the operator for
regenerating the filter. At Level 4, professional servicing is the only way
to regenerate the filter.
Parked regeneration procedure (Cummins engine only)
When performing the parked regeneration procedure, make
certain the vehicle is safely off roadway, and the exhaust system
is away from people, or any flammable materials, vapors, or structures.
Engine speed may increase during parked regeneration.
Note:Parked regeneration is only available when the DPF lamp on the
instrument cluster is illuminated (solid or flashing).
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on level ground and safely off the
road with the exhaust system away from people, flammable materials,
vapors or structures.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission and a
steering column shift lever, place transmission in P (Park). Otherwise,
place the transmission in N (Neutral).
3. Remove feet from the accelerator pedal and clutch pedal (if
equipped).
4. Set the parking brake.
5.Within 5 seconds of setting the parking brake,remove foot from
the service brake pedal.
