FUEL GAUGE
WHAT IS THE FUEL GAUGE
Indicates approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank.
FUEL GAUGE LIMITATIONS
The fuel gauge may not provide an
accurate reading when your vehicle is on
an incline.
LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
DOOR
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
WHAT IS THE LOW FUEL
REMINDER
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 12 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
WHAT IS DISTANCE TO EMPTY
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but
also increase or stay constant for periods
of time. WHAT IS THE ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
Indicates the engine coolant temperature.
WHAT IS THE ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
Indicates the engine oil pressure.
Note:
This is a configurable gauge.
WHAT IS THE TRANSMISSION
FLUID TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Indicates the transmission fluid
temperature.
Special operating conditions can cause
higher than normal operating
temperatures. See
Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page
636).
Note: This is a configurable gauge.
WHAT IS THE TURBO BOOST
GAUGE
Indicates the amount of manifold air
pressure in the engine.
Note: This is a configurable gauge.
WHAT IS THE DIESEL
EXHAUST FLUID GAUGE

•
Braking and steering.
• Front wheel toe. See the Ford
Workshop Manual.
• Headlight aim. See
Adjusting the
Headlamps (page 411).
• Tire air pressure. See Information on
the Tire Sidewall
(page 430).
Note: Do not exceed the front gross axle
weight rating or gross vehicle weight rating.
Note: Your vehicle may require rear ballast
weight for proper braking and steering.
Your vehicle has a driver and passenger
airbag supplemental restraint system. The
supplemental restraint system activates
in certain frontal and offset frontal
collisions when the vehicle sustains
sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
When operating your vehicle with a
snowplow:
• Do not exceed
45 mph (72 km/h).
• Your engine could run at a higher
temperature than normal.
•If you are driving more than
15 mi
(24 km) at temperatures above
freezing, angle the plow blade
either full left or full right to provide
maximum airflow to the radiator.
• If you are driving less than
15 mi
(24 km) at speeds up to 45 mph
(72 km/h) in cold weather, you do
not need to worry about blade
position to provide maximum
airflow.
• Shift to 4L when plowing in small areas
at speeds below
5 mph (8 km/h).
• Shift to
4H when plowing larger areas
or light snow at higher speeds above
5 mph (8 km/h)
. Do not exceed
15 mph (24 km/h).
• Do not shift the transmission from a
forward gear to reverse (R) until the
engine is at idle and the wheels have
stopped. Note:
Careless or high-speed driving when
snowplowing, which results in significant
vehicle decelerations, can deploy the airbag.
Such driving also increases the risk of
accidents.
Note: Drive your vehicle at least
500 mi
(800 km) before using your vehicle for
snowplowing.
Note: Follow the severe duty schedule for
engine oil and transmission fluid change
intervals. See
Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance (page
631
).
