2014 FORD SUPER DUTY key battery

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
Note:
The hazard warning flashers will
operate when the ignition is in any position
or if the key is not in the ignition. If used
when the engine is not running, the battery
will lose charge. As a result, there may be
insufficient power to restart your engine. In some models, the hazard
flasher control is located on the
instrument panel.
In other models, this feature is located on
the steering column, just behind the
steering wheel. Use your hazard warning flashers when
your vehicle is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.
•
Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
• Press the flasher control again to turn
them off.
FUEL SHUTOFF WARNING
Failure to inspect and, if necessary,
repair fuel leaks after a collision may
increase the risk of fire and serious
injury. Ford Motor Company recommends
that the fuel system be inspected by an
authorized dealer after any collision. In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle is equipped with a
fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the
flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact
will cause a shut-off.
Should your vehicle shut off after a
collision, you may restart your vehicle by
doing the following:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Turn the ignition to crank.
3. Turn the ignition off.
4.
Turn the ignition on again to re-enable
the fuel pump.
JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle's electrical system.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to help
maintain its roadworthiness and resale
value. There is a large network of Ford
authorized dealers that are there to help
you with their professional servicing
expertise. We believe that their specially
trained technicians are best qualified to
service your vehicle properly and expertly.
They are supported by a wide range of
highly specialized tools developed
specifically for servicing your vehicle.
To help you service your vehicle, we
provide scheduled maintenance
information which makes tracking routine
service easy. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 428).
If your vehicle requires professional service,
your authorized dealer can provide the
necessary parts and service. Check your
warranty information to find out which
parts and services are covered.
Use only recommended fuels, lubricants,
fluids and service parts conforming to
specifications. Motorcraft® parts are
designed and built to provide the best
performance in your vehicle.
Precautions
• Do not work on a hot engine.
• Make sure that nothing gets caught in
moving parts.
• Do not work on a vehicle with the
engine running in an enclosed space,
unless you are sure you have enough
ventilation.
• Keep all open flames and other burning
material (such as cigarettes) away
from the battery and all fuel related
parts. Working with the Engine Off
1. Set the parking brake and shift to
P
(Park).
2. Turn off the engine and remove the key
(if equipped).
3. Block the wheels.
Working with the Engine On WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and/or personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. 1. Set the parking brake and shift to
P
(Park).
2. Block the wheels
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
HOOD 1.
To open the hood, go inside the vehicle
and pull the hood release handle
located under the left hand side of the
instrument panel.

control fan, heated steering wheel, audio
and navigation system. A message may be
shown in the information displays to alert
the driver that battery protection actions
are active. These messages are only for
notification that an action is taking place,
and not intended to indicate an electrical
problem or that the battery requires
replacement.
Electrical accessory installation
To ensure proper operation of the BMS,
any electrical devices that are added to
the vehicle should not have their ground
connection made directly at the negative
battery post. A connection at the negative
battery post can cause inaccurate
measurements of the battery condition
and potential incorrect system operation.
Note:
Electrical or electronic accessories
added to the vehicle by the dealer or the
owner may adversely affect battery
performance and durability, and may also
affect the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required,
the battery should only be replaced with
a Ford recommended replacement battery
which matches the electrical requirements
of the vehicle. After battery replacement,
or in some cases after charging the battery
with the external charger, the BMS requires
eight hours of vehicle sleep time (key off
with doors closed) to relearn the new
battery state of charge. Prior to relearning
the state of charge, the BMS may disable
electrical features (to protect the battery)
earlier than normal. CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid
or water applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
You can manually move the wiper arms
when the ignition is off. This allows for ease
of blade replacement and cleaning under
the blades.
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away
from the glass.

•
When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult your
authorized dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems —
such as two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms — that are equipped
with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle
should comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and installed only
by a qualified service technician.
• Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly
designed for automotive use.
• To avoid interference with other vehicle
functions, such as anti-lock braking
systems, amateur radio users who
install radios and antennas onto their
vehicle should not locate the amateur
radio antennas in the area of the
driver's side hood.
• Any non-Ford custom electrical or
electronic accessories or components
that are added to the vehicle by the
authorized dealer or the owner, may
adversely affect battery performance
and durability, and may adversely
affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle. AUXILIARY SWITCHES
The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches will operate only while the ignition
is in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. It is recommended,
however, that the engine remain running
to maintain battery charge when using the
auxiliary switches for extended periods of
time or higher current draws.
Note:
When your vehicle is equipped with
a diesel engine, use the auxiliary switches
only while the engine is running. The glow
plugs also drain battery power when the
ignition key is in the on position. Using the
auxiliary switches, even for limited amounts
of time, can cause your battery to drain
quickly and prevent your vehicle from
restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 8 amps, 12 amps or 20 amps of
electrical battery power for a variety of
personal or commercial uses.
The relay box for the auxiliary switches is
located on the end of the left side of the
instrument panel. See your authorized
dealer for service.
The relays are coded as shown below:
