If you install an electrical back up alarm, connect it to the backup lamp
circuit.
Parking
WARNING:When parking your vehicle, do not leave the
transmission in gear; if the key is in the on position and the
vehicle rolls, the engine could start. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in an unattended vehicle moving, possibly causing personal
injury or property damage.
Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the
wheels and turn the front wheels to one side so that if your vehicle rolls,
the front tires act against the curb to stop your vehicle. The front wheels
are more effective at stopping a rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.
Cold Weather
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause
a build-up of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing
them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage.
Note:We recommend against using winter fronts, or other air-restrictive
devices mounted in front of the radiator on vehicles with
chassis-mounted charge air coolers, unless extremely cold weather
conditions exist. Airflow restriction can cause high exhaust temperatures,
power loss, excessive fan usage and a reduction in fuel economy. If you
must use a winter front, the device should have a permanent opening of
at least 120 square inches (774 square centimeters) directly in line with
the fan hub.
For best engine operation in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower:
•Make sure the batteries are the correct type and are fully charged.
Check other electrical components to make sure they are in optimum
condition.
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant to protect the engine against
damage from freezing.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a water-fuel separator, drain it daily.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in the fuel system.
•Use the proper engine oil and maintain it at its proper level.

•Checking that the pitman arm (steering arm at steering gear)
mounting is tight and locked. Check system for leaks or hose chafing.
Repair immediately, if necessary.
•Maintaining proper steering gear and power steering pump lubricant
levels.
•Checking steering column joint bolts and steering linkage, particularly
for body-to-chassis clearance.
Steering Column Joint Bolts
As a good maintenance practice, check steering column joint bolt
tightness every 60000 miles (96000 kilometers) or annually, whichever
occurs first. Do not overtighten the bolts.
Hydraulic System
Whenever draining and refilling the power steering’s hydraulic system for
any reason, bleed air from the system before returning the vehicle to
service. Failure to bleed the hydraulic system properly can result in
degradation of power system performance.
Consult an authorized dealer who is aware of the proper procedures for
filling and bleeding the system.
Catalytic Converter (Diesel Engine)
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter or muffler,
do not blend waste oil with diesel fuel. Operate only on ultra-low sulfur
(less than 15 parts per million sulfur) diesel fuel with a cetane value of
45 or higher.
If your diesel engine is equipped with a catalytic converter, it is
important to review the maintenance schedule to make sure proper
functioning of the catalytic converter. Also, take precautions not to
damage the catalytic converter when servicing your engine or storing
your vehicle.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and
Select Catalyst Reduction (SCR) System
See your engine operator’s manual for information about DEF, DPF and
SCR system service
Air Induction System
WARNING:When performing maintenance to any turbocharged
engine with engine air inlet piping disconnected, keep loose
clothing, jewelry and long hair away from the engine air inlet piping. A
turbocharger compressor air inlet protective shield should be installed
over the turbocharger air inlet to reduce the risk of personal injury or
death.

American Petroleum Institute (API). Oil with this
trademark symbol conforms to the current engine and
emission system protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the International Lubricants
Specification Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised of
U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. If the engine oil level is not within the normal range, add engine oil
that meets Ford specifications. SeeCapacities and Specifications
for more information. Remove the engine oil filler cap and use a
funnel to pour the engine oil into the opening.
3. Recheck the engine oil level. Make sure the oil level is not above the
normal operating range on the engine oil dipstick.

Oil-lubricated Front Wheel Bearings
During normal vehicle duty cycle, the lubricant and air inside the
hub/wheel cavity expands and, if not vented, causes pressure build-up
that could cause accelerated seal wear. You can use two venting methods
to prevent pressure build-up:
•A slit or small hole in the rubber check vent
•The window.
Over a period, if not routinely cleaned, a slight film of oil can collect dirt
around the rubber fill plug and face, which could appear to be a leak.
Routine cleaning helps make sure that you can easily observe the
lubricant level through the window as intended. In situations where the
window is clean on the outside but discolored on the inside, you can
check the lubricant level by inserting a finger through the rubber check
vent hole.
The specified lubricant level for a window-type hubcap is from the
minimum line to five–sixteenth inch (8 millimeters) above the minimum
line. If the lubricant level should suddenly drop dramatically below the
minimum level, see theWorkshop Manualfor diagnostic procedure.
Installation, Tightening and Alignment
Make sure the threads on the studs and nuts are clean to permit correct
torque when installing wheels. The mounting surfaces of rims, wheels,
spacer rings and clamps must be free of dirt, rust, lubricants or damage.
Use a wire brush to clean the mounting contact surfaces. Do not use
lubricant on threads.
After properly tightening the rim or wheel, check it for proper alignment.
Rotate the wheel with a piece of chalk attached to a steady, firm surface,
and placed to just barely clear the outside surface of the tire bead seat;
this procedure points out the high spot. A high spot does not necessarily
indicate unevenly tightened lug nuts, but may be the result of a bent
wheel.
Use the following installation procedure:
1. Slide inner rear or front tire and wheel in position over studs and push
it back as far as possible. Use care so you do not damage the threads on
the studs.
