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.

The inlet holes in the side of the assembly are functional. These holes
allow outside air to enter into the outlet assembly. Keep the holes clear
of mud and other foreign material to maintain proper functionality of the
system. One way to keep the holes clear is to spray the outlet assembly
with a hose when washing your vehicle. Failure to keep the functional
holes clear of foreign material may result in blocking or plugging of the
holes.
SWITCHING OFF A DIESEL ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it
down. The larger the engine, the greater the need is for this idling
period.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
ENGINE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:In the event of engine shutdown, make sure the
vehicle is safely off the road and the problem is remedied prior to
returning to the road. Failure to remove the vehicle from the road
could result in an accident, causing serious injury or death.
This feature either illuminates a light in the instrument cluster or sounds
a tone (or both) indicating that the engine is being shut down due to
high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, high diesel particulate
filter soot loading or low engine coolant level. If any of these conditions
exist, the engine automatically shuts down.
If the engine shuts down, you can restart and operate it for 30 seconds
at a time or until you correct the problem. Do not attempt to use this
restarting feature to drive your vehicle very far as serious engine damage
could result.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Failure to follow engine block heater instructions
could result in property damage or personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical
systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

Biodiesel fuel is a product converted from renewable fuel sources,
including vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking oil. You should not use
raw, refined, and recycled vegetable/plant oils, greases, and animal fats.
Biodiesel fuel blends must meet requirements of ASTM D7467 standard
specification. See your engine operator’s manual for more information
and restrictions about the use of biodiesel fuel.
Octane Recommendations - Gasoline Engines
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87
is recommended. Some stations
offer fuels posted as Regular with
an octane rating below 87,
particularly in high altitude areas. Do not use fuels with a posted octane
rating below 87.
Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if
it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel
with the recommended octane rating, see an authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Gasoline Engine
Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine. On restarting, cranking time takes a few seconds longer
than normal.
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, adding four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) may be required.
•The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more
information on the service engine soon indicator, see theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
SeeGeneral informationin theInformation Displayschapter for
information on Miles to Empty.
Diesel Engine
Avoid running out of fuel as this allows air to enter the fuel system,
which makes restarting your vehicle difficult.
