We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
•
Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
• Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary. The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the heater longer than three hours
does not improve system performance and
unnecessarily uses electricity.
Rapid Heat Supplemental Heating
System
Note:
Additional aftermarket electrical
loads operated during engine warm up may
affect the performance of the rapid heat
supplemental heater.
The optional rapid heat feature is an
electrically powered device that provides
supplemental heat during engine warm up.
During initial warm up, you should use a
mid to low blower speed for maximum
effectiveness. When operating in
automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit determines the
appropriate blower speed for existing
conditions.

WARNINGS
If you do not use the correct fuel filler
cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
in a crash. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury. The fuel tank has a threaded fuel filler cap.
Note:
If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
designed for your vehicle. The vehicle
Warranty may be void for any damage to
the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or other certified
fuel filler cap is not used.
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank do the
following.
1. When your vehicle has stopped, shift into neutral (N) or park (P).
2. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
3. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and remove it.
4. Refuel your vehicle as required.
5. Replace the fuel filler cap, turn it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster,
you may not have installed the fuel filler
cap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,
at the next opportunity, safely pull off of
the road, remove the fuel filler cap, align
the cap properly and reinstall it. The check
fuel cap warning lamp or warning message
may not reset immediately. It may take
several driving cycles for the indicators to
turn off. A driving cycle consists of an
engine start-up (after four or more hours
with the engine off) followed by normal
city and highway driving. REFUELING - 6.7L DIESEL
An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or
operates poorly after a fuel fill could be
using substandard fuel. We recommend
that you purchase diesel fuel from a
reputable fuel station.
Use only clean, approved containers that
will prevent the entry of dirt or water
whenever you store diesel fuel.
Do not store diesel fuel in a galvanized
container. The fuel dissolves the zinc in the
galvanized container. The zinc will then
remain in the fuel. If you run the
contaminated fuel through the engine, the
zinc damages the fuel injectors. Engine
damage caused may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Fuel Filler Cap
WARNINGS
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel
until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury. If you do not use the correct fuel filler
cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
in a crash. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury. The fuel tank has a threaded fuel filler cap.
Note:
If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
designed for your vehicle. The vehicle
Warranty may be void for any damage to
the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or other certified
fuel filler cap is not used.
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank do the
following.
101
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling
1. When your vehicle has stopped, shift
into neutral (N) or park (P).
2. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
3. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and remove it.
4. Refuel your vehicle as required.
5. Replace the fuel filler cap, turn it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster,
you may not have installed the fuel filler
cap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,
at the next opportunity, safely pull off of
the road, remove the fuel filler cap, align
the cap properly and reinstall it. The check
fuel cap warning lamp or warning message
may not reset immediately. It may take
several driving cycles for the indicators to
turn off. A driving cycle consists of an
engine start-up (after four or more hours
with the engine off) followed by normal
city and highway driving.
Fuel Fill Rate
Your vehicle has a fuel fill pipe that is able
to accept fuel up to 20 gal (75 L) per
minute from a fuel-dispensing nozzle.
Pumping fuel at greater flow rates may
result in premature nozzle shut-off or spit
back.
Truck stops have fuel pumps and nozzles
designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks. If
you are refueling your vehicle at a truck
stop and the nozzle shuts off repeatedly,
wait 5-10 seconds, then use a slower fill
rate. FUEL CONSUMPTION
Real world fuel consumption is governed
by many factors, for example driving style,
high speed driving, stop-start driving, air
conditioning usage, the accessories fitted,
payload and towing.
•
The usable capacity of the fuel tank is
the amount of fuel that can be added
into the tank after the gauge indicates
empty.
• The advertised capacity is the total fuel
tank size. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 251). It is the
combined usable capacity plus the
empty reserve.
• Due to the empty reserve, you may not
be able to refuel the full amount of the
advertised capacity of the fuel tank
even when the fuel gauge reads empty.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. The amount of usable
fuel in the empty reserve varies and should
not be relied upon to increase driving range.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:
• Turn the ignition off before refueling
your vehicle; a temporary inaccurate
reading may result if the engine is left
on when refueling your vehicle.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is refueled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when refueling your vehicle.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.

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 stops 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 builds
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
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine/vehicle operating conditions) and
replaced with a new or remanufactured
(ash cleaned) part. The filter may need to
be replaced at approximately 250,000
miles (400,000 km) depending upon
vehicle operating conditions.
In both cases, the engine control
system illuminates a service light
to inform you that your vehicle
requires service.
If there are any issues with the diesel
particulate filter system, the engine control
system illuminates a service light to inform
you that your vehicle requires service.

In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time.
Although SelectShift makes some
downshifts for you, it still allows you to
downshift at any time as long as the
SelectShift determines that there is no
damage to the engine from over-revving.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. You must shift manually by pressing
the + button.
Note: Engine damage may occur if you rev
the engine excessively and hold it without
shifting. Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning
This feature's design is to increase
durability and provide consistent shift feel
over the life of your vehicle. A new vehicle
or transmission may have firm shifts, soft
shifts or both. This operation is normal and
does not affect function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process fully updates transmission
operation. Additionally, whenever you
disconnect the battery or install a new
battery, the system must relearn the
strategy.

Brake-Shift Interlock (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working.
When doing this procedure, you will
be taking your vehicle out of park
which means your vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized
dealer. Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents the
gearshift lever from moving from park (P)
when the ignition is in the 3 (on) position
and the brake pedal is not pressed.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out
of park (P) position with the ignition in the
4 (on) position and the brake pedal
pressed, a malfunction may have occurred.
It is possible that a fuse has blown or your
vehicle
’s brake lamps are not operating
properly. See
Fuse Specification Chart
(page 162).
If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure allows you to move the gearshift
lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake. Switch the ignition key to 1 (off), then remove the
key.
2. Move the steering column to the full down and full rearward position
(toward the driver ’s seat).
3. Remove the gearshift lever boot. 4. Place fingers into hole where you
removed the gearshift lever boot and
pull top half of shroud up and forward
to separate it from the lower half of the
shroud. There is a hinge at the forward
edge of the top shroud. Roll the top
half of the shroud upward on the hinge
point to clear the hazard flasher button,
then pull straight rearward toward the
driver ’s seat to remove.
5. Remove the top half of the shroud.
6. Remove the three fasteners under the column that secure the lower shroud
half to the column. 7.
