Using Safety Belts During Pregnancy
WARNING:Always ride and drive with your seatback upright
and the safety belt properly fastened. The lap portion of the
safety belt should fit snug and be positioned low across the hips. The
shoulder portion of the safety belt should be positioned across the
chest. Pregnant women should also follow this practice. See the
following figure.
Pregnant women should always
wear their safety belts. The lap belt
portion of a combination lap and
shoulder belt should be positioned
low across the hips below the belly
and worn as tight as comfort will
allow. The shoulder belt should be
positioned to cross the middle of
the shoulder and the center of the
chest.
Safety Belt Locking Modes
WARNING:After any vehicle crash, all safety belts should be
checked for proper function.
All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. The driver safety belt and the optional front and rear center seat
safety belt have the first locking mode described below only. All outboard
passenger and outboard rear safety belts have both types of locking
modes described as follows:
Vehicle Sensitive Mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or
more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.
In addition, the retractor is designed to lock if the webbing is pulled out
too quickly. If this occurs, let the belt retract slightly and pull webbing
out again in a slow and controlled manner.

Note:Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure. The oil pressure gauge should indicate this
within 15 seconds after starting.
Note:Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating with a
full load.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
Vehicles with an Automatic Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Select positionN,orP(if equipped with a Park position).
2. Fully press the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine.
Starting the Engine with the Vehicle on a Steep Grade
When starting a diesel engine when the loaded vehicle is on a grade, the
engine RPM starts to fall slightly when you engage the clutch. Do not
disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage
driveline components. The engine recovers as the vehicle begins moving.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around, or attempt to repair, any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel particulate filter. The DPF heats up to a high
temperature after only a short period of engine operation, and can
remain hot even after the engine is turned off. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), as part of
the after-treatment exhaust system, to trap soot and other large particles
produced by the engine combustion process. You must periodically
reduce the soot that accumulates in the filter to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The engine and after-treatment system generally
perform the soot reduction process, also known as “filter regeneration,”
automatically.

Instrument cluster lamp(s) illuminates or flashes when operator
assistance is required. In addition, engine performance becomes
increasingly limited above Level 1.
At Levels 1 and 2, the operator can take two courses of action to
facilitate filter regeneration:
1. Drive your vehicle on the highway at highway speeds.
2. Perform a parked regeneration by following the steps inParked
regeneration.
At Level 3, performing a parked regeneration is the only available course
of action (short of professional servicing) available to the operator for
regenerating the filter. At Level 4, professional servicing is the only way
to regenerate the filter.
Parked Regeneration
WARNING:When performing the parked regeneration
procedure, make certain the vehicle is safely off the roadway, and
the exhaust system is away from people, or any flammable materials,
vapors, or structures. Engine speed may increase during parked
regeneration.
Note:Parked regeneration is only available when the DPF lamp on the
instrument cluster is illuminated solid or flashing.
1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop on level ground and safely off
the road with the exhaust system away from people, flammable
materials, vapors or structures. Ford recommends that you perform a
walk-around before beginning a parked regeneration.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission and a
steering column shift lever, place the transmission in positionP.
Otherwise, place the transmission in positionN.
3. Remove your feet from the accelerator pedal and clutch pedal
(manual transmission).
4. Set the parking brake.
5. Within five seconds of setting the parking brake, remove your foot
from the service brake pedal.
The engine speed may increase slightly. To allow parked regeneration to
continue uninterrupted:
1. The vehicle must remain parked.
2. The transmission must remain in positionPorNas previously
described in Step 2.
