2015 FORD SUPER DUTY wheel

Information display procedure
Start with your vehicle engine fully warmed
and then press the Info button on the
steering wheel until the information display
reads one of the following choices:
• EXHST XX% FULL CLEAN? Y/N
• EXHAUST FULL CLEAN? Y/N
Answer yes to this prompt and then follow
the prompts regarding exhaust position as
needed to initiate Operator Commanded
Regeneration. Be sure to understand each
prompt. If you are not sure what is being
asked by each prompt, contact an
authorized dealer. The display will confirm
the operation has started and when it has
finished.
If the diesel particulate filter is near or at
saturation, a message requesting
permission to initiate filter cleaning will
display
EXH AT LIMIT CLEAN? Y/N.
Answer yes to this prompt and then follow
the prompts regarding exhaust position as
needed to initiate Operator Commanded
Regeneration. Be sure to understand each
prompt. If you are not sure what is being
asked by each prompt, contact an
authorized dealer. The display will confirm
the operation has started and when it has
finished. You can also drive to clean the
filter. See Active regeneration earlier in this
chapter. When the system is at the point
of oversaturation, the service
engine soon light will illuminate
and the following message
EXH OVER
LIMIT SERVICE NOW will appear . You
will not be able to allow cleaning. You
must have your vehicle serviced by an
authorized dealer. Once operator commanded regeneration
starts, the engine
’s rpm will rise to
approximately 2,000 - 2,400 rpm and the
cooling fan will increase speed; you will
hear a change in audible sound due to the
fan and engine speed increase.
It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once Operator
Commanded Regeneration is complete,
the engine rpm and fan will return to
normal idling. The exhaust system will
remain very hot for several minutes even
after regeneration is complete. Do not
reposition the vehicle over materials that
could burn until the exhaust system has
had sufficient time to cool. Depending on
the amount of soot collected by the diesel
particulate filter, ambient temperature,
and altitude, Operator Commanded
Regeneration may last from 10 to 25
minutes.
How to interrupt or cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the Operator
Commanded Regeneration, pressing the
brake, accelerator, or shutting off the
vehicle will stop the procedure. Depending
on the amount of time you allowed the
Operator Commanded Regeneration to
operate, soot may not have had sufficient
time to be eliminated, but the exhaust
system and exhaust gas may still be hot.
If you shut your vehicle off during Operator
Commanded Regeneration, you will notice
turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence
caused by shutting off a diesel engine
during boosted operation and is considered
normal.
Filter service and maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash will build
up in the diesel particulate filter, which is
not removed during the regeneration
process. The filter may need to be removed
for ash cleaning at approximately 120,000
miles (193,000 km) or greater (actual

Noise Emissions Warranty, Prohibited
Tampering Acts and Maintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation
became effective governing the noise
emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536
kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).
The preceding statements concerning
prohibited tampering acts and
maintenance, and the noise warranty
found in the Warranty Guide, are
applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
FUEL TANK SELECTOR
SWITCH
If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel
tanks, you will have a selector control,
located to the right of the steering wheel,
which allows you to draw fuel from either
tank. Your fuel gauge and the DTE
(distance to empty) will display the
amount of fuel in the currently selected
tank.

Tightening lug nuts
Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles
(800 km) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rota-
tion, changing a flat tire or wheel removal).
Vehicles with single rear
wheels
Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque at 100
miles (160 km), and again at 500 miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire or wheel removal).
Vehicles with dual rear
wheels
Note: For the proper lug nut torque specification, see Technical specifications in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your owner's manual.
Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great. Multi-point inspection
