Fasten Seatbelt It illuminates and a tone sounds
until you fasten the seatbelts.
Hood Ajar It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the hood is not
completely closed.
Low Fuel Level It illuminates when the fuel level
is low.

Note:
Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel significantly
increases your vehicle ’s exhaust emissions
and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
We recommend Top Tier diesel fuel where
available to help minimize engine deposits
and maintain optimal vehicle and engine
performance.
For additional information, visit
www .t op tier g a s. c om .
You should use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
designated as number 1-D or 2-D with a
maximum of 15-ppm sulfur in your diesel
vehicle. You can operate your vehicle on
diesel fuels containing up to 20%
biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels
should meet the ASTM D975 diesel or the
ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
specifications. Outside of North America,
use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent
local market standard. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high-sulfur
diesel fuel (greater than 500
ppm) in your diesel engine will cause
certain emission components to
malfunction which could also cause the
service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), we
recommend using a diesel fuel which has
been seasonally adjusted for the ambient
conditions. Choosing the Right Fuel: Vehicles
Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel Fuel Is Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably on
low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
engine must be a factory-built high-sulfur
engine (available as a dealer order option
for select markets) or an ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
authorized dealer service parts. Failure to
use retrofit components other than those
available through your authorized dealer
results in coolant system damage, engine
overheating, selective catalyst reduction
system or diesel particulate filter damage
and possible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high-sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel could result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the after
treatment system, potentially rendering
the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in an ultra-low
sulfur diesel fuel market that are
subsequently exported to non-ultra low
sulfur diesel fuel markets will need to be
retrofitted at the customer
’s expense using
Ford authorized dealer service parts in
order to be reliably operated on non-ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel.

Biodiesel
WARNING: Do not mix diesel with
gasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This could
cause an explosion.
Note: Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils, waste
cooking greases, biodiesel greater than 20%
or any diesel not intended for highway use.
Damage to the fuel injection system, engine
and exhaust catalyst, and diesel particulate
filter can occur if you use an improper fuel.
Red dye is used to identify fuels intended
for agricultural and non-highway use.
You can operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
• Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less.
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with industry standards.
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See
General
Maintenance Information (page 622).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than 1 month.
• Consider changing brands or reducing
biodiesel content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling issues or a
frequently appearing LOW FUEL
PRESSURE message. Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% can cause damage to your
vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust
after-treatment hardware (exhaust
catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
Concentrations greater than 20% can also
cause fuel filter restrictions that could
result in a lack of power or damage to fuel
system components, including fuel pump
and fuel injector failures.
We recommend SAE 5W-40 oil for fuels
with greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). For
more information about oil change
intervals and other maintenance when
operating on biodiesel.
See Special
Operating Conditions Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 636).
Look for a label on the fuel pump to
confirm the amount of biodiesel contained
in diesel fuel. Ask the service station
attendant to confirm the biodiesel content
of diesel fuel, if you do not see a label on
the fuel pump.
If you plan to park or store your vehicle for
more than 1 month, then you should empty
your vehicle fuel tank of biodiesel fuel. You
should fill the tank with a pure
petroleum-based diesel fuel and run your
vehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
damage fuel system seals and plastics and
corrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problems
operating on biodiesel, you may need to
use diesel fuel with lower biodiesel
content, try another brand or discontinue
the use of biodiesel.
Diesel Fuel Additives
It should not be necessary to add any
aftermarket additives to your fuel if you
use a high-quality diesel fuel that conforms
to ASTM industry specifications.
Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel
injector system or engine.

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
).

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
2. Check the oil level before starting the engine, or switch the engine off after
warming up and wait 10 minutes for
the oil to drain into the oil pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
5. Remove the dipstick again to check the
oil level.
Note: If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.
6. If the oil level is at the minimum mark, immediately add oil.
7. Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it is fully seated.
