Water In Fuel
It will illuminate if there is excess
water in the fuel filter. Drain off
the water immediately. See
Draining the Fuel Filter Water Trap
(page 218). If it illuminates after draining
the water, this indicates a fuel filter service
is required. Have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer immediately.
Direction Indicator Flashes during operation. A
sudden increase in the rate of
flashing warns of a failed
indicator bulb. See
Changing a Bulb
(page 225).
Door Ajar It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on and remains on if
any door or the hood is open.
Engine Coolant Temperature If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Stop your vehicle
as soon as it is safe to do so and switch the
engine off. Have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer. Engine Warning Lamps
Malfunction Indicator Service Required
All Vehicles
If either lamp illuminates when the engine
is running, this indicates a malfunction. The
engine will continue to run but it may have
limited power. If either lamp flashes when
you are driving, reduce the speed of your
vehicle immediately. If it continues to flash,
avoid heavy acceleration or deceleration.
Have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic
converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components,
possibly causing a fire. Have an authorized
dealer service your vehicle immediately. If both lamps illuminate when the engine
is running, stop your vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so. You may notice a reduction
in vehicle speed caused by reduced engine
power. Switch the ignition off and attempt
to restart the engine. Have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer.

5. Replace the fuel tank filler cap and
close the fuel tank filler door.
6. Clean the plastic funnel and place it back in your vehicle or properly dispose
of it.
Note: Extra funnels can be purchased from
an authorized dealer if you choose to
dispose of the funnel.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard. Driving with a Catalytic Converter
WARNINGS
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not crank the engine for long
periods.
Do not run the engine when a spark
plug lead is disconnected.
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Jump Starting the Vehicle (page
182). Do not switch the ignition off when
driving. SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION SYSTEM
WARNINGS
You must refill the diesel exhaust
fluid tank when it is low. If it is not
refilled, vehicle speed will be limited
to
50 mph (80 km/h). Drive with caution
and refill the fluid tank as soon as possible. If the diesel exhaust fluid becomes
contaminated your vehicle will be
limited to idle speed operation.
Replace the fluid immediately. Tampering with or disabling the
selective catalytic reduction system
will result in severe vehicle
performance limitation. Vehicle speed will
be limited to
5 mph (8 km/h). Your vehicle has a selective catalytic
reduction system to help reduce exhaust
emission levels by injecting diesel exhaust
fluid into the exhaust system.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
For the system to operate correctly, you
must maintain the diesel exhaust fluid
level.
A warning lamp will illuminate
when the diesel exhaust fluid
level is low and needs to be
refilled. See
Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 78).
The warning lamp will illuminate
approximately
500 mi (800 km) before
the diesel exhaust fluid tank is empty. Refill
the tank as soon as possible.
Note: If the warning lamp illuminates when
your vehicle is moving, and the diesel
exhaust fluid is at a sufficient level, this
indicates a system malfunction. Have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.

4. Subtract your initial odometer reading
from the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per
gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
traveled by gallons used.
Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of your
vehicle ’s fuel economy under current
driving conditions. Keeping records during
summer and winter will show how
temperature impacts fuel economy.
Conditions
• Heavily loading your vehicle reduces
fuel economy.
• Carrying unnecessary weight in your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy.
• Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars
or light bars, running boards and ski
racks may reduce fuel economy.
• Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures.
• Fuel economy may decrease when
driving short distances.
• You will get better fuel economy when
driving on flat terrain than when driving
on hilly terrain.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle
in dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system,
which can start a fire. WARNINGS
An incorrectly operating or damaged
exhaust system may result in entry
of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have an authorized dealer inspect
your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if
you smell exhaust fumes. Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards.
To make sure that the catalytic converter
and other emission control components
continue to work correctly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving, especially at high
speeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information carried out
according to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed
in scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraft
or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance
replacements, or for service of
components affecting emission control,
such non-Ford parts should be the
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company
parts in performance and durability.
Illumination of any of the following warning
lamps, indicators or vehicle symptoms
could indicate that the emission control
system is not working correctly.
• Coolant temperature warning lamp.
• Charging system warning lamp.
• Service engine soon indicator.

Resonator and Tailpipe Assembly
Maintenance WARNINGS
Failure to maintain the functional
holes, in the tailpipe section of the
exhaust, clean and free of debris or
foreign material may result in the holes
becoming blocked or plugged. Do not
modify or remove the tail-pipe section.
Blocked or plugged holes or
removal/modification of the system could
result in elevated exhaust gas
temperatures which may result in
vehicle/property damage or personal
injury. The normal operating temperature
of the exhaust system is very high.
Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
DPF heats up to a high temperature after
only a short period of engine operation and
can stay hot even after the engine is turned
off. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury. Note:
Additions of aftermarket devices or
modifications to the exhaust system can
reduce the effectiveness of the exhaust
system as well as cause damage to the
exhaust system or engine. These actions
may also affect your vehicle ’s warranty. See
the Warranty Guide for more information. The diesel resonator tail-pipe assembly is
a uniquely functioning device that
accompanies the diesel particulate filter
assembly. The tail-pipe assembly serves
multiple functions. First, it serves as an
acoustic device to attenuate exhaust noise.
Second, it provides an exit path for the
exhaust from your vehicle. It also helps
control the temperature of the exhaust
during diesel particulate filter regeneration
events. The visible holes in each leg of the
twin tip and the holes under the shield just
inboard of the right rear tire(s) are
functional. You need to keep the holes
clear of mud, debris or foreign material to
maintain proper function of the exhaust
system. Clean and remove debris or foreign
material if present as needed. Spraying
with a hose during regular washing of your
vehicle should help keep holes clean and
clear of debris or foreign material.
Emission Control System Laws
WARNING
Do not remove or alter the original
equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal
floor of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the vehicle
from the engine and exhaust system heat
and noise. On vehicles with no original
equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits
prolonged skin contact with the metal
floor. Provide adequate insulation. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in
fire or personal injury. In the U.S. federal law and certain state
laws prohibit removing or rendering
inoperative emission control system(s).
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. Ford recommends
against any vehicle modification without
determining applicable law.
