2016 FORD SUPER DUTY steering

•
An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle. The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches operate only while the ignition is
in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. Ford recommends, however,
that the engine remain running to maintain
battery charge when using the auxiliary
switches for extended periods of time or
higher current draws.
Note:
When your vehicle has a diesel
engine, use the auxiliary switches only while
the engine is running. The glow plugs also
drain battery power when the ignition key is
in the on position. Using the auxiliary
switches, even for limited amounts of time,
can cause your battery to drain quickly and
prevent your vehicle from restarting. When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 8 amps, 12 amps or 20 amps of
electrical battery power for a variety of
personal or commercial uses.
The relay box for the auxiliary switches is
on the end of the left side of the instrument
panel. See your authorized dealer for
service.
The relays are coded as shown:
Each switch includes a power lead, a
blunt-cut and sealed wire located below
the instrument panel and to the left of the
steering column.
The power leads are coded as shown:

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: Tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. See Technical Specifications (page
301).
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

lubricated for life; do not check or change
fluid unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the assembly has been
submerged in water. During long periods
of trailer towing with outside temperatures
above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open
throttle for long periods above 45 mph (72
km/h), change non-synthetic rear axle fluid
every 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) or
