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.

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.

Periodic Component and System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. Bring any deficiencies to the
attention of an authorized dealer or another qualified service outlet as
soon as possible to obtain advice about the need for service or
replacement.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
Wheels and Tireschapter.
At least twice annually. Clean body and door drain holes.
As required. Clean windshield wiper blades.

Emissions Information Label
Emissions information appears on the Important Engine Information
decal located on or near the engine.
Scheduled Maintenance Services
Maintenance service adjustments must conform to specifications
contained in this manual, and those shown on the Important Engine
Information decal. Perform the following services at scheduled intervals
because they essential to the life and performance of your vehicle. Ford
recommends that you perform maintenance on all designated items to
achieve best vehicle operation.
There are three types of maintenance intervals for general vehicle
environments: On-Highway, City and Severe Service. In all applications,
monitoring miles (kilometers) and time and when the engine is due for
an oil change determine the actual interval. When the engine oil change
is required before the truck lubrication interval, perform the lubrication
at the same time in order to reduce your vehicle’s time out of service.
Air Brake Adjustment
WARNING:Failure to maintain proper air brake adjustment can
result in reduction or loss of braking ability.
A qualified service technician, keeping to the instructions in the service
manual, should perform air brake inspection and adjustment or repairs.
Cam Brakes - Automatic Slack Adjusters
WARNING:Do not manually adjust the automatic slack adjusters
to correct excessive push rod stroke as it may result in reduced
brake effectiveness and a vehicle crash. Excessive push rod stroke
indicates that a problem exists with the automatic adjuster, with the
installation of the adjuster, or with foundation brake components that
manual adjustment does not remedy. Seek service from a qualified
facility for excessive push rod stroke.
Inspect standard air brakes equipped with automatic slack adjusters for
proper brake adjustment as listed in the maintenance schedule charts.
