ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
manual. The more that you know about
your vehicle, the greater the safety and
pleasure you will get from driving it.
WARNING: Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that may
take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Note: Pass on this manual when selling
your vehicle. It is an integral part of your
vehicle. Note:
Your vehicle ’s powertrain control
systems can detect and store information
about vehicle modifications that increase
horsepower and torque output such as
whether or not performance-enhancing
powertrain components commonly referred
to as performance chips have been used.
This information will stay in the system ’s
memory and cannot be erased even if the
modification is removed. Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico
and service or repair facilities can retrieve
this information when servicing your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company may use this
information to determine if your warranty
covers any needed repairs.
Note: Some aftermarket products may
cause severe engine/transmission and/or
exhaust system damage; refer to your
warranty information for more information.
Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and
function somewhat differently than a
gasoline engine. Therefore it is very
important that you read and thoroughly
familiarize yourself and others operating
the vehicle with this guide. There is a
special procedure for turning off the diesel
engine. See
Starting a Diesel Engine
(page 88). It is important to read and
understand this material in order to
maintain the best service life for your
engine.
Ford may discontinue models or change
specifications without any notice and
without incurring obligations.
Note: Either Ford Motor Company or an
authorized Ford dealer may have originally
sold this incomplete vehicle to a vehicle
modifier who upfitted it. As a result, some
of the options and features on this vehicle
may differ from what we describe in this
manual.
This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand
side. The side is determined when facing
forward in the seat.

F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201804, Second-Printing Introduction
If these modified engine performance
characteristics persist for an extended
period and either the service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction, reduced power,
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reduced
power, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil at
the recommended service intervals or
when indicated by the information display
to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil
and filter change interval beyond the
recommended interval can negatively
affect engine performance, fuel economy
and engine life. See Engine Oil Check
(page 192).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primary
cooling loop to cool the engine and a
secondary cooling loop to cool the
transmission, charge air, and fuel. The
coolant serves three primary purposes: to
provide heat transfer, freeze point
protection, and corrosion protection using
additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are
used to carry heavy loads and accumulate
mileage rapidly. These two factors may
cause the additives in the coolant to wear
out in a shorter time. You can find more
information about coolant additives and
coolant change intervals in the coolant
chapter. See
General Maintenance
Information (page 322). Operating the
engine with insufficient coolant or coolant
additive can cause severe engine damage. Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to
reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) that you must replenish at
certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes
contaminated will result in vehicle speed
limitations or result in your vehicle entering
an idle-only mode. See
Selective
Catalytic Reductant System (page 105).
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won ’t crank WARNING:
Battery posts,
terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,
do not go on at all or when the ignition is
turned to the start position, the lights
become dim or go out, the battery
connections may be loose or corroded, or
the battery may be discharged. If there is
a clicking or stuttering sound coming from
the engine compartment when you turn
the key to the start position, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery
connection.
Check the battery connections at the
battery posts, cable connection to the
engine grounding point and at the starter
connection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, have
it checked and corrected.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
You should play your part in protecting the
environment. Correct vehicle usage and
the authorized disposal of waste, cleaning
and lubrication materials are significant
steps toward this aim.

NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL
In order to keep to the federal exterior
noise regulations, your vehicle may be
equipped with noise emission items.
Depending on your vehicle configuration,
it may have all or some of the following
items:
Air Intake System
Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its
location. Do not alter inlet and outlet
piping.
Body
Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab
shields and under hood insulation for
deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System
• Inspect the fan for blade damage. If
you find any damage, replace with the
recommended parts. Inspect for
fan-to-shroud interference and any
damage to shroud, such as cracks and
holes.
• Do not change fan ratio or alter fan
spacer dimensions and positions. •
Inspect fan clutch for proper operation.
Make sure the fan is disengaged when
cooling of the engine is not required.
• Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped)
for proper operation. The shutters
should be open during normal
operating temperatures.
Engine
Valve covers and block covers damp-out
engine mechanical noise. If they need
replacing, make sure to replace them with
the recommended parts. Check for
mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure
Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean
any deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System
• Inspect for leaks at various joint
connections and loose clamps.
• Perform a visual inspection for cracks
or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
• Always use the recommended
replacement parts.
• Do not change the tail pipe elbow or
offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.
• To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle
sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and
necessary maintenance at specified
intervals. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 322).

You must complete Steps 2-4 within
60 seconds after the seatbelt warning
light turns off. If not completed, you
must repeat the procedure.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt three times at a moderate speed,
ending with the seatbelt in the
unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
seatbelt warning light turns on for three
seconds.
4. Within seven seconds of the light turning on, buckle then unbuckle the
seatbelt.
• This will switch the feature off for the
seating position if it is currently on.
• This will switch the feature on for the
seating position if it is currently off.
