Flex Fuel Vehicle
(FFV, iF equipped)
If your vehicle has a yellow colored fuel
cap, you have a flex fuel vehicle. Use only
unleaded fuel or ethanol fuel (E85).

draining the water
separator
Your vehicle is equipped with a state of the
art diesel fuel delivery system. It includes
a Diesel Fuel Conditioning Module (DFCM)
and engine mounted fuel filter. The DFCM
includes a filter, electronic fuel pump and
water separator/drain mounted on the frame
just below the cab driver side. Drain the
DFCM (with engine off) during oil changes
or as soon as possible when the WATER
IN FUEL message is displayed. Ignoring
the Water In Fuel message can cause the
accumulated water to be passed to the
engine resulting in fuel system damage.
coolant
Your Super Duty uses Motorcraft®
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant
(orange-colored). DO NOT use glycol
coolant as it is not compatible with your
vehicle. DO NOT MIX different colors or
types of coolant in your vehicle. DO NOT
MIX recycled coolant and new (unused)
coolant together in the vehicle, as the mixing
of engine coolants may harm your engine’s
cooling system. The use of an improper
coolant may harm engine and cooling system
components and may void the warranty.
Ensure that ONLY the correct coolant is used.
tire pressure
The recommended specifications are
on the Safety Compliance Certification
Label or Tire Label located on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver’s door.
As an
added safety feature, your vehicle may be
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure warning light when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading
chapter in your Owner’s Guide for
more information.

diesel/Biodiesel
If your vehicle has a green colored fuel cap,
you have a diesel vehicle which is compatible
with diesel fuel and also biodiesel B20 or less.
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from
vegetable oils and/or animal fats. Your
diesel engine can operate on diesel fuels
containing up to 20% biodiesel, or B20.
(Use only biodiesel that meets ASTM
D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20
biodiesel industry specifications.)
Ensure that you purchase biodiesel
from a reputable source. Do not store
biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more
than one month.
diesel exhaust Fluid (deF)
The emissions system uses Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) which MUST be replenished at
regular intervals. Failure to do so could cause
vehicle speed limitations and/or result in the
vehicle entering an idle-only mode.
Your message center will alert you when
you begin to get low on DEF. The first alert
will appear in the message center when you
have approximately 800 miles left to empty.
Certain conditions such as driving styles,
trailer towing or fast acceleration will require
filling the tank more often.
The DEF tank has a blue capped filler port
and is next to your diesel fuel inlet. This tank
can be filled using a nozzle at a DEF filling
station or using a DEF bottle with a spout.
Motorcraft
® DEF bottles are recommended
as they are designed to be spill proof and will stop the flow of DEF
when the tank is full.
Ensure that you do
NOT put DEF in
the fuel tank as this
can cause engine
damage which is not covered by your
vehicle’s warranty. Immediately wipe away
any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces
with water and a damp cloth to prevent
damage to the paint.
Use only DEF certified by
the American Petroleum
Institute (API) such
as Motorcraft
®
DEF or equivalent.
Look for the API
certification trademark.
The DEF capacity is 5 gallons (18.9L) for a
pickup and 6 gallons (22.7L) for a chassis
cab. Do NOT overfill the system as this could
cause freeze damage to the DEF tank.
For more information on this system, refer to
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
in your Diesel Supplement.

Fuel Filter
Your Ford truck includes a LOW FUEL
PRESSURE monitor to let you know
that the engine is not receiving the fuel it
needs. Driving with low fuel pressure can
damage injection equipment and void your
warranty. Check or switch your fuel source
if you are replacing filters more often than
the recommended interval.
sync ® (iF equipped)
Your SYNC® system has unique phone and
media features which allow you to make
and receive hands-free calls as well as play
your media selections by artist, album,
genre or similar music. You can receive
Vehicle Health Reports and set up and use
911 Assist™ which can call emergency
services if you have an accident. SYNC
®
ApplinkTM allows you to use applications
on your smartphone such as Pandora and
Stitcher. SYNC
® also offers SYNC® Services
which, if activated, can provide turn–by–turn
directions, access to traffic reports, sports
scores and business searches. To set up
your profile for Vehicle Health Reports
and SYNC
® Services, please visit
