2015 FORD SUPER DUTY Def

FUEL SHUTOFF
In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle is equipped with a
fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the
flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact
will cause a shut-off.
After an accident, if the engine cranks but
does not start, this switch may have been
activated.
This switch is located on the passenger
’s
side of the instrument panel. Open the
front passenger door and remove the small
access panel The switch has a red button on top of it.
To reset the switch:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks. 3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Wait a few seconds and return the key
to off.
6. Make another check for leaks.
Running Out Of DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid)
If your vehicle runs out of DEF, it will enter
into a speed limited mode and can also
enter into an idle-only mode. Normal
vehicle operation will not resume until DEF
is refilled. See Selective Catalytic
Reduction System (page 21).
Contact roadside assistance for help in
finding a retailer that sells DEF. See the
Customer Assistance chapter in the
Owner ’s Manual for more information.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
The gases around the battery can
explode if exposed to flames, sparks,
or lit cigarettes. An explosion could
result in personal injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which
can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if
contacted.
Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.

Engine lubrication for severe service
operation
The following conditions define severe
operation for which engine operation with
SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 is recommended. Oil
and oil filter change intervals will be
determined by the Intelligent Oil Life
Monitor™ as noted previously.
• Frequent or extended idling (over 10
minutes per hour of normal driving)
• Low-speed operation/stationary use
• If vehicle is operated in sustained
ambient temperatures below -10°F
(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)
• Frequent low-speed operation,
consistent heavy traffic less than 25
mph (40 km/h)
• Operating in severe dust conditions
• Operating the vehicle off road
• Towing a trailer over 1,000 miles (1,600
km)
• Sustained, high-speed driving at Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum
loaded weight for vehicle operation)
• Use of fuels with sulfur content other
than ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
• Use of high-sulfur diesel fuel
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of engine coolant
at the intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance chapter. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 59). Note:
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant
reservoirs.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark, or empty, add coolant
immediately. See
Adding Engine Coolant
in this chapter.
Note: The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -30 °F
(-34 °C) and -34 °F (-37 °C).
Note: For best results, the coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your dealer.
Ford does not recommend the use of
hydrometers or coolant test strips for
measuring coolant concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant
or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle
location.
Adding Engine Coolant WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when the
engine is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, you can
be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine
parts. Do not put engine coolant in the
windshield washer fluid container. If
sprayed on the windshield, engine
coolant could make it difficult to see
through the windshield.
