WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
The cabin air filter improves the quality ofair in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollenand other particles.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
The cabin air filter is behind the glovecompartment.
To remove the lower glove compartmentand access the filter:
1.Open the glove compartment.
2.Press the tab on each side.
3.Fully lower the glove compartment.
4.Pull the glove compartment towardyou.
5.Unclip both sides of the filter door andswing door down to access filter .
6.Remove the old filter and replace witha new filter.

•Follow the recommended servicemaintenance intervals. See GeneralMaintenance Information (page 594).
•Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fueltank for more than 1 month.
•Consider changing brands or reducingbiodiesel content if you have coldtemperature fuel gelling issues or afrequently appearing LOW FUELPRESSURE message.
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greaterthan 20% can cause damage to yourvehicle, including engine and/or exhaustafter-treatment hardware (exhaustcatalyst and particulate filter) failures.Concentrations greater than 20% can alsocause fuel filter restrictions that couldresult in a lack of power or damage to fuelsystem components, including fuel pumpand fuel injector failures.
We recommend SAE 5W-40 oil for fuelswith greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). Formore information about oil changeintervals and other maintenance whenoperating on biodiesel. See SpecialOperating Conditions ScheduledMaintenance (page 603).
Look for a label on the fuel pump toconfirm the amount of biodiesel containedin diesel fuel. Ask the service stationattendant to confirm the biodiesel contentof diesel fuel, if you do not see a label onthe fuel pump.
If you plan to park or store your vehicle formore than 1 month, then you should emptyyour vehicle fuel tank of biodiesel fuel. Youshould fill the tank with a purepetroleum-based diesel fuel and run yourvehicle for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Note:Degraded or oxidized biodiesel candamage fuel system seals and plastics andcorrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problemsoperating on biodiesel, you may need touse diesel fuel with lower biodieselcontent, try another brand or discontinuethe use of biodiesel.
Diesel Fuel Additives
It should not be necessary to add anyaftermarket additives to your fuel if youuse a high-quality diesel fuel that conformsto ASTM industry specifications.Aftermarket additives can damage the fuelinjector system or engine.
Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or anequivalent cetane booster additive if yoususpect fuel has low cetane. UseMotorcraft® anti-gel and performanceimprover or an equivalent additive if thereis fuel gelling.
Do not use alcohol-based additives toimprove cetane quality, to prevent fuelgelling or any other use. The use of alcoholadditives could result in damage to the fuelinjectors and system.
Your Warranty may not cover repairsneeded to correct the effects of using anaftermarket product that does not meetour specifications in your fuel.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
FILLING A PORTABLE FUELCONTAINER
WARNING: Flow of fuel through afuel pump nozzle can produce staticelectricity. This can cause a fire if you arefilling an ungrounded fuel container.

WHAT IS THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER
The diesel particulate filter is part of yourvehicle's emissions system and filtersharmful diesel particulates from theexhaust gas.
HOW DOES THE DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER WORK
The diesel particulate filter reducesemissions by trapping exhaust particlesbefore they reach the tailpipe. The systemmust periodically clean the exhaustparticles that gather inside the filter. Thisis carried out in three ways, passiveregeneration, active regeneration andmanual regeneration.
Passive Regeneration
In passive regeneration, the normalexhaust system temperature cleans thefilter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning occursduring normal vehicle operating conditionsdue to driving patterns.
Active Regeneration
Once the diesel particulate filter is full,active regeneration raises the exhausttemperature to eliminate the particles.
When the engine control module detectsthat the diesel particulate filter is nearlyfull of particulates, and you are notoperating your vehicle in a manner to alloweffective regeneration, messages appearin the information display as a reminderfor you to drive your vehicle in order toclean the diesel particulate filter. If youdrive your vehicle in a manner to alloweffective regeneration, the informationdisplay shows a cleaning exhaust filtermessage.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not park or idle yourvehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. The regenerationprocess creates very high exhaust gastemperatures and the exhaust willradiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and afteryou have switched the engine off. This isa potential fire hazard.
WARNING: When the ExhaustFilter Cleaning message appears in theinformation display, do not park nearflammable materials, vapors orstructures until filter cleaning iscomplete.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the diesel oxidationcatalytic converter or the dieselparticulate filter. The diesel oxidationcatalytic converter and the dieselparticulate filter heat up to very hightemperatures after only a short periodof engine operation and remain hot afteryou switch the engine off.
Note:Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.
Note:Changes in the engine or exhaustsound may be heard during the regenerationprocess.

WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The catalytic converter is part of yourvehicle's emissions system and filtersharmful pollutants from the exhaust gas.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not park, idle ordrive your vehicle on dry grass or otherdry ground cover. The emission systemheats up the engine compartment andexhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: The normal operatingtemperature of the exhaust system isvery high. Never work around or attemptto repair any part of the exhaust systemuntil it has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the catalytic converter.The catalytic converter heats up to a veryhigh temperature after only a shortperiod of engine operation and stays hotafter the engine is switched off.
WARNING: Exhaust leaks mayresult in entry of harmful and potentiallylethal fumes into the passengercompartment. If you smell exhaustfumes inside your vehicle, have yourvehicle inspected immediately. Do notdrive if you smell exhaust fumes.
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
•Do not crank the engine for more than10 seconds at a time.
•Do not run the engine with a spark pluglead disconnected.
•Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. See JumpStarting the Vehicle (page 422).
•Use the correct fuel. See Fuel andRefueling (page 214).
•Do not switch the ignition off when yourvehicle is moving.
•Avoid running out of fuel.
•Have the items listed in scheduledmaintenance information performedaccording to the specified schedule.
Note:Do not make any unauthorizedchanges to your vehicle or engine. By law,vehicle owners and anyone whomanufactures, repairs, or services a fleet ofvehicles are not permitted to intentionallyremove an emission control device orprevent it from working.
