2011 FORD F750 warning

Water in fuel:During refueling, it
is possible for water-contaminated
diesel fuel to be pumped into your
tank. Your vehicle fuel system is
equipped with a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the
fuel. The
light will illuminate when the fuel filter/water separator
has a significant quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the fuel
filter/water separator. Refer to your engine operator’s manual for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
WARNING:Do not drain water separator while engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if separator is drained while engine is
running or vehicle is moving.
Diesel exhaust fluid:Illuminates
when the diesel exhaust fluid level
falls below 0.5 gallon (1.9L) in the
5 gallon (19.0L) tank or 1 gallon
(3.8L) in the 9 gallon (34.0L) tank.
Refill the tank or, at a minimum,
add at least 1 gallon (3.8L) in the
5 gallon (19.0L) tank or 2 gallons
(7.6L) in the 9 gallon (34.0L) tank to turn off the light.
Diesel particulate filter:
Illuminates if the soot in the DPF
has reached a level where it
requires operator assistance. Refer
toDiesel particulate filterin the
Maintenance and Specifications
chapter and your engine operator’s

Brake system warning light:To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the on position
when the engine is not running, or
in a position between on and start,
or by applying the parking brake
when the ignition is turned to the on position.
If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek
service immediately from your authorized dealer. Illumination after
releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake
system should be inspected immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING:Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Have the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and
the risk of personal injury.
Parking brake warning:
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the on position
and the engine is off. Also
illuminates when the parking brake
is engaged. If the parking brake
warning lamp does not illuminate at
these times, seek service
immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Power Park Parking Brake option:If
after setting the parking brake on your vehicle the park brake warning
lamp begins to blink, this may indicate a failure in the parking brake
system. Seek service from your dealer immediately.
