The under-seat storage compartment has
a programmable lock. Use the ignition key
to program the lock to the compartment.
You can power or charge electronics using
the under-seat storage compartment
auxiliary power point. See Auxiliary
Power Points (page 132).

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the engine is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running
• do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is parked
for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found: •
On the instrument panel (two
locations).
• Inside the center console.
• On the rear of the center console.
• Inside the front under-seat storage
compartment (if equipped).
• Inside the rear under-seat storage
compartment (if equipped).
110 Volt AC Power Points (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power points when
the devices are not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power points, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Do not use a single
power point to power multiple devices. It
may cause the power point to exceed the
150 watt load limit and overload, resulting
in fire or serious injury. Note:
Keep the engine running to use the
power points. Some vehicles may come equipped with
more than one power point. One may be
located in the center of the rear floor
console. The second one (if equipped) may
be located on the instrument panel. You
can use your power points for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts.

Super Duty (), enUSA Auxiliary Power PointsE143941

When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
•
on — the power point is ready to supply
power.
• off — the power point power supply is
off; ignition is not on.
• flashing — the power point is in fault
mode.
The power point temporarily turns off
power if the 150 watt limit is exceeded. It
can also switch to a fault mode when it is
overloaded, overheated, or shorted. Unplug
your device and switch the ignition off, and
then switch the ignition back on for
overloading and shorting conditions. Let
the system cool off, and then turn the
ignition off, and then switch the ignition
back on for an overheating condition.
The power points are not designed for
electric devices such as:
• cathode ray tube type televisions
• motor loads, for example vacuum
cleaners, electric saws and other
electric power tools, or
compressor-driven refrigerators
• measuring devices which process
precise data, for example medical
equipment or measuring equipment
• other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply, for example
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch sensor lamps.

CENTER CONSOLE (If Equipped)
Stow items in the cupholder carefully as
items may become loose during hard
braking, acceleration or collisions, including
hot drinks which may spill. Available console features include:
•
Locking storage compartment with
hanging file folder supports
• Storage for laptop computer, binder or
book between the hanging file folder
support and the passenger side of the
console bin
• Auxiliary power points
Removable Front Cupholders You can lift the two cupholder modules
out. You can also remove the false bottom
for hidden storage or to hold a large cup. OVERHEAD CONSOLE (If Equipped)
Press near the rear edge of the door to
open it.

6. Remove the three fasteners under the
column that secure the lower shroud
half to the column. 7.
Pull the lock lever into the full unlocked
position and remove the lower shroud
cover by pulling the lever handle
through the slot in the cover.
8. Apply the brake. Gently lift the override
disk and move the gearshift lever into
neutral (N). 9. Start your vehicle.
Perform Steps 4 through 8 in reverse order,
making sure to engage the hinge pivots
between the upper and lower halves of the
shroud. Keep slight pressure in the forward
direction as you rotate the halves together. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the
engine may overheat.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, you
may rock it out by shifting between forward
and reverse gears, stopping between shifts
in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the
accelerator in each gear.
POWER TAKE-OFF
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,
or PTO, is often added to the engine or
transmission to operate utility equipment.
Examples include a wheel-lift for tow
trucks, cranes, tools for construction or tire
service, and pumping fluids. PTO
applications draw auxiliary horsepower
from the powertrain, often while the
vehicle is stationary. In this condition, there
is limited cooling air flow through the
radiator and around the vehicle that
normally occurs when a vehicle is moving.
The aftermarket PTO system installer,
having the most knowledge of the final
application, is responsible for determining
whether additional chassis heat protection
or powertrain cooling is required, and
alerting the user to the safe and proper
operation.
Ford Super Duty Vehicles are approved for
use as a stationary (including split shaft
capability) or mobile power source, within
limits and operating guidelines detailed in
the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book,
found at www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas,
and through the Ford Truck Body Builders
Advisory Service.

WARNINGS
Check attachment of floor mats on
a regular basis. Always properly
reinstall and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning or
replacement. Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver foot well
while the vehicle is moving. Objects
that are loose can become trapped under
the pedals causing a loss of vehicle control. Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or attachment
instructions can potentially cause
interference with pedal operation causing
a loss of vehicle control. To install floor mats, position the floor mat
so that the eyelet is over the retention post
and press down to lock in.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.
SNOWPLOWING
Ford recommends that the Super Duty
F-Series used for snow removal include
the snowplow package option. Installing the Snowplow
Weight limits and guidelines for selecting
and installing the snowplow are in the Ford
Truck Body Builders Layout Book,
snowplow section, found at
www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas. A typical
installation affects the following:
•
Certification to government safety laws
such as occupant protection and airbag
deployment, braking, and lighting. Look
for an Alterer ’s Label on the vehicle
from the snowplow installer certifying
that the installation meets all
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS).
• The Total Accessory Reserve Capacity
(TARC) is on the lower right side of the
vehicle ’s Safety Compliance
Certification Label. This applies to
Ford-completed vehicles of 10,000
pounds (4,536 kilograms) GVWR or
less. This is the weight of
permanently-attached auxiliary
equipment, such as snowplow
frame-mounting hardware, that can
be added to the vehicle and satisfy
Ford compliance certification to
FMVSS. Exceeding this weight may
require the auxiliary equipment installer
additional safety certification
responsibility. The Front Accessory
Reserve Capacity (FARC) is for
customer convenience.
• Rear ballast weight behind the rear
axle may be required to prevent
exceeding the FGAWR, and provide
front-to-rear weight balance for proper
braking and steering.
• Front wheel toe may require
re-adjustment to prevent premature
uneven tire wear. Specifications are in
the Ford Workshop Manual.
• Headlight aim may require
re-adjustment.
