2012 FORD SUPER DUTY automatic transmission

Operation in standing water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and
severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to
avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion
of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.
Consult your dealer for service immediately.
Rapid heat supplemental heating system (if equipped)
The optional rapid heat feature is an electrically powered device that is
designed to provide supplemental heat during engine warm up. For
maximum effectiveness mid to low blower speed is recommended during
initial warm up. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit will determine the appropriate blower speed for
existing conditions.
Note:Additional aftermarket electrical loads operated during engine
warm up may impact the performance of the rapid heat supplemental
heater.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge and the DTE (distance to
empty) will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.
INTEGRATED ENGINE BRAKING
This feature increases engine braking at higher engine speeds to provide
better grade descent control with less brake and transmission wear and
tear.
This feature is integrated with the tow/haul mode feature. When tow/haul
mode is switched on, the integrated engine braking feature will also be
active. For more information on tow/haul, seeAutomatic transmission
operationin theOwner Guide.

potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company
suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
