Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING
Exhaust leaks may result in entry ofharmful and potentially lethal fumesinto the passenger compartment. Ifyou smell exhaust fumes inside yourvehicle, have your vehicle inspectedimmediately. Do not drive if you smellexhaust fumes.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave theengine idling for long periods of time, werecommend that you do one of thefollowing:
•Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5centimeters).
•Set your climate control to outside air.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE -
6.7L DIESEL
Read all starting instructions carefullybefore you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), theuse of the correct grade engine oil isessential for proper operation. Refer toengine oil specifications for moreinformation. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).
Your vehicle may have a cold weatherstarting strategy that prevents severeengine damage by assisting in enginelubrication warm-up. In extremely coldambient temperatures, this strategyactivates and prevents the acceleratorpedal from being used for 30 seconds afteryou start your vehicle. A message appearsin the information display as your vehiclewarms up. By not allowing the acceleratorpedal to be used, the engine oil is allowedto properly lubricate the bearings
preventing engine damage due to lack ofproper lubrication. After the 30 secondwarm-up period, the accelerator pedal willbe operational again and a messageappears informing you the vehicle is ok todrive.
When you start the engine in extremelycold temperatures -15°F (-26°C), werecommend that you allow the engine toidle for several minutes before you drivethe vehicle.
Before starting the engine check thefollowing:
•Make sure all occupants have fastenedtheir seatbelts.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the transmission is in park(P).
Note:Do not press the accelerator duringstarting.
Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow PlugSystem
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
•Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
•Glow Plug Control Module
•Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
•Barometric pressure sensor
•Environmental temperature sensor
The powertrain and glow plug controlmodules electronically control the glowplug system. After you switch the ignitionon, the glow plug control moduleimmediately energizes the glow plugs. Theglow plug control module uses the enginecoolant temperature, barometric pressuresensor and environmental temperature

sensor to determine how long the glowplugs stay energized. The required time forthe glow plugs to be energized decreasesas the coolant temperature, barometricpressure and environmental temperatureincrease.
Cold Weather Starting
WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, for exampleether, in the air intake system. Suchfluid could cause immediateexplosive damage to the engine andpossible personal injury.
Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcoholor kerosene to diesel fuel. Thiscreates a serious fire hazard andcauses engine performance problems.
We recommend that the engine blockheater be used for starting when thetemperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. SeeEngine Block Heater (page 181).
When operating in cold weather, you mayuse Motorcraft® cetane improvers ornon-alcohol-based cetane improvers froma reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine does not start, switch theignition off and wait 30 seconds beforetrying again.
Switch the ignition on. Do notstart the engine until theglow-plug indicator turns off.
When the glow plug pre-heat indicatorturns off, turn the key to start. After youstart the engine, the glow plugs mayremain on for a period. If you do not startthe engine before the glow plug activationtime ends, you will need to reset the glowplugs by switching the ignition off. Afterthe engine starts, allow it to idle for about15 seconds. This protects the engine. Donot increase engine speed until the oilpressure gauge indicates normal pressure.
Cold Weather Operation
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heatthe engine to its normal operatingtemperature. Long periods of idling,especially in cold weather, can cause abuildup of deposits which can cause enginedamage.
Change to a lighter grade engine oil tomake starting easier under theseconditions. Refer to engine oilspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperatures. Diesel fuel which has notbeen properly formulated for the ambientconditions may gel which can clog the fuelfilters. One indication that the fuel filter(s)may be clogged is if the engine starts, stallsafter a short time, and then does notrestart. If you have been using biodiesel,you may need to use a fuel with lowerbiodiesel content, try another brand, ordiscontinue using biodiesel. Do not usealcohol based additives to correct fuelgelling. This may result in damage to thefuel injectors and system. Use the properanti-gel and performance improvementproduct. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Continued driving without refilling resultsin the following actions as required by theCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) andthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA):
•Within a preset distance to empty,speed is limited upon vehicle restart.Prior to this occurring a messageappears in the information display.
•Further vehicle operation withoutrefilling the diesel exhaust fluid tankcauses the engine to enter an idle-onlycondition. This only occurs upon vehiclerefueling or at an extended idle. Amessage indicates the required actionsto resume normal operation. It isrequired to add a minimum of 1.0 gal(3.8 L) of diesel exhaust fluid to thetank to exit the idle-only condition, butyour vehicle is still in the speed-limitingmode until you refill the tankcompletely.
Note:For either vehicle speed limiting oridle-only condition, normal vehicle operationresumes when you refill the diesel exhaustfluid tank.
Note:When filling the diesel exhaust fluidtank from empty, there may be a short delaybefore detecting the increased level of fluid.The increased level detection must occurbefore your vehicle returns to full power.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelinesand Information
•Use only diesel exhaust fluid thatcarries the American PetroleumInstitute (API) certified diesel exhaustfluid trademark or ISO 22241.
•Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in thediesel fuel tank.
•Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluidtank.
•Diesel exhaust fluid is corrosive.
•Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluidcontainer once it is emptied.
•Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid onpainted surfaces, carpeting or plasticcomponents. Immediately wipe awayany diesel exhaust fluid that has spilledwith a damp cloth and water. If it hasalready crystallized, use warm waterand a sponge.
•Store diesel exhaust fluid out of directsunlight and in temperatures between23°F (-5°C) and 68°F (20°C).
•Diesel exhaust fluid freezes below 12°F(-11°C).
•Do not store the diesel exhaust fluidbottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it couldcause damage to interior componentsor release an ammonia odor inside yourvehicle.
•Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable,non-toxic, colorless and water-solubleliquid.
•The system has a diesel exhaust fluidquality sensor. Dilution of dieselexhaust fluid or use of any other liquidin the SCR system leads to a dieselexhaust fluid system fault, eventuallyleading to the vehicle only operating inidle-only mode.
•Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid withwater or any other liquid.
•An ammonia odor may be smelledwhen the cap is removed or duringrefill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a wellventilated area.
