Foldaway Exterior Mirrors
Push the mirror toward the door window glass. Make sure that you fully
engage the mirror in its support when returning it to its original position.
Power-Folding Mirrors (If Equipped)
Note:Using the mirrors 10 or more times within one minute, or
repeated folding and unfolding of the mirrors while holding the control
down during full travel, may disable the system to protect motors from
overheating. Wait approximately three minutes with your vehicle running,
and up to 10 minutes with your vehicle off, for the system to reset and
for function to return to normal.
Pull the control back to fold the
mirrors.
Loose Mirror
You can manually fold a power-folding mirror by pulling it toward the
door window glass. This may cause the mirror to appear loose and it
needs to be re-synchronized. Pull and hold the control to fold the
mirrors in until movement stops. You hear a click that indicates
re-synchronization. If you do not hear a click, use the control to fold the
mirrors all the way out, then in again. Once you hear the click, the
mirrors operate normally until you fold them manually again.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)

HEATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat.
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
•Operate the heated seats unless the engine is running. Doing so could
drain your vehicle’s battery.

Diesel Engine
WARNING:Using low sulfur (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur
(greater than 500 ppm) diesel fuel in a diesel engine designed to
use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel causes certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the Service Engine
Soon light to illuminate indicating an emissions-related concern. It may
also increase the likelihood of engine oil dilution with fuel which may
lead to major engine damage
WARNING:Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, gasohol or
alcohol. This could cause an explosion resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING:Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel
fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard resulting in
personal injury and engine performance problems.
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline.
Such fluids can cause immediate explosive damage to the engine
and possible personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use home heating oil or any diesel fuel not
intended for highway use. Red dye is used to identify fuels
intended for agricultural and non-highway use. Damage to the fuel
injection system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper
fuel is used.
Note:Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause
powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not
be covered under warranty.
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) No. 1-D or 2-D
diesel fuel in your diesel engine. Diesel fuel No. 1-D or winter diesel fuel
blend of No. 2-D is recommended at ambient temperatures below 20°F
(-7°C). Diesel fuel that is blended with 20% biodiesel maximum may be
used.

•DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic pre-heating system which allows the DEF system to
operate below 12°F (-11°C).
•Do not store the DEF bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks, it could cause
damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside
your vehicle.
•Store DEF out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F–68°F (-5°C–20°C).
NOISE EMISSIONS
In order to keep to the federal exterior noise regulations, your vehicle
may be equipped with noise emission items. Depending on your vehicle
configuration, it may have all or some of the following items:
Air Intake System:Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its location. Do
not alter inlet and outlet piping.
Body:Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab shields and under hood
insulation for deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System:
•Inspect the fan for blade damage. If you find any damage, replace
with the recommended parts. Inspect for fan-to-shroud interference
and any damage to shroud, such as cracks and holes.
•Do not change fan ratio or alter fan spacer dimensions and positions.
•Inspect fan clutch for proper operation. Make sure the fan is
disengaged when cooling of the engine is not required.
•Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped) for proper operation. The
shutters should be open during normal operating temperatures.
Engine:Valve covers and block covers damp-out engine mechanical
noise. If they need replacing, make sure to replace them with the
recommended parts. Check for mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure:Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean any
deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System:
•Inspect for leaks at various joint connections and loose clamps.
•
Perform a visual inspection for cracks or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
•Always use the recommended replacement parts.
•Do not change the tail pipe elbow or offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.
•To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and necessary maintenance at the intervals
shown in theScheduled Maintenancechapter.

•At temperatures of –4°F (–20°C) or below, it is recommended that
you use a crankcase-mounted coolant heater to improve cold engine
starting.
•If operating in arctic temperatures of –20°F (–29°C) or lower, consult
your truck dealer for information about special cold weather
equipment and precautions.
Hot Weather
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant to protect the engine against
damage from overheating.
•Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in the fuel system.
•Keep external surfaces of the engine, radiator, charge air cooler, air
conditioning condenser and accessories clean to avoid dirt build-up.
•You may experience above normal coolant temperatures while driving
in a transmission gear ratio that lugs the engine. To correct this
problem, increase engine speed by downshifting into the next lower
gear.
STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy
from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering your vehicle.
To help prevent damage to the power steering pump:
•Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme
left for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
•Do not operate your vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level
below the ADD mark on the MAX COLD side of the power steering
reservoir dipstick.
•Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive,
check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service
by an authorized dealer.
•Low power steering pump fluid levels may cause heavy or uneven
steering efforts. Check the power steering pump fluid level before
seeking service from an authorized dealer.
•Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the FULL mark
on the MAX HOT side of the power steering reservoir dipstick, as this
may result in leaks from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer your vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

Note:Do not use stop leak pellets or cooling system sealants or
additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling and heating
systems. Your vehicle’s warranty does not cover this damage.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the engine coolant may change
color from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is
clear and uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine
coolant has degraded nor does it require draining the engine coolant,
flushing the system, or replacing the engine coolant.
•DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle.
Make sure the correct coolant is used. Mixing of engine coolants may
harm your engine’s cooling system. The use of an improper coolant
may harm engine and cooling system components and may void the
warranty. Use prediluted engine coolant meeting the Ford
specification. See theCapacities and Specificationschapter for
more information.
•In case of emergency, you may add a large amount of water without
engine coolant in order to reach a vehicle service location. In this
instance, drain the cooling system, chemically clean it with Motorcraft
Premium Cooling System Flush, and refill it with engine coolant as
soon as possible. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause
engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
•Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other
liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
•Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine
coolant.
Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure escapes as you unscrew the cap.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the Ford specification. See
Capacities and Specificationsfor more information.
Whenever you add coolant, check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir the next few times you drive your vehicle. If necessary, add
enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant level to the proper
level.
Recycled Engine Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend the use of recycled engine
coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.
Dispose of used engine coolant in an appropriate manner. Follow your
community’s regulations and standards for recycling and disposing of
automotive fluids.

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•It may be necessary to have an authorized dealer increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
•A coolant concentration of 60% provides improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant concentrations above 60% decrease the
overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may
cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•It may be necessary to have an authorized dealer decrease the
coolant concentration to 40%.
•A coolant concentration of 40% provides improved overheat
protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% decrease the
corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant
and may cause engine damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling (If Equipped)
(Gasoline Engine Only)
WARNING:If fail-safe cooling activates, pull off the road as soon
as safely possible and turn the engine off. The engine may
automatically shut off while driving without further indication.
If the engine coolant supply is very low, this feature allows you to drive
your vehicle temporarily before incremental component damage occurs.
The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and
terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature gauge moves to the red (hot) area.
•The information display indicates the engine is overheating.
•The service engine soon indicator illuminates.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
