WHAT IS THE LOW FUELREMINDER
A low fuel level reminder displays andsounds when the distance to emptyreaches 50 mi (80 km),25 mi (40 km),12 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km).
Note:The low fuel reminder can appear atdifferent fuel gauge positions depending onfuel economy conditions. This variation isnormal.
WHAT IS DISTANCE TO EMPTY
Indicates the approximate distance yourvehicle can travel on the fuel remaining inthe tank. Changes in driving pattern cancause the value to not only decrease butalso increase or stay constant for periodsof time.
Note:When you have a trailer connected,your distance to empty accounts for thetrailer.

•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.

It is recommended to wash your vehicle byhand however, pressure washing may beused under the following conditions:
•Use a spray with a 40° wide sprayangle pattern.
•Keep the nozzle at a 12 in (30 cm)distance and 90° angle to yourvehicle's surface.
•Do not use water pressure higher than1,450 psi (10,000 kPa).
•Do not use water hotter than 167°F(75°C).
Note:Holding the pressure washer nozzleat an angle to the vehicle's surface maydamage graphics and cause the edges topeel away from the vehicle's surface.
CLEANING CAMERA LENSES ANDSENSORS
We recommend that you only uselukewarm or cold water and a soft clothto clean the camera lens and sensors.

Tires
•Maintain recommended air pressure.
•To minimize flat spots on the tires,inflate all four tires to therecommended cold pressures listed onthe Safety Compliance Certificationlabel or Tire Label affixed to yourvehicle. When the vehicle is taken outof storage, reset the tire pressures asnecessary to the recommended levelslisted on the Safety ComplianceCertification label or Tire Label affixedto your vehicle.
Note:If you store your vehicle in a locationwith low ambient temperatures, follow theinstructions for care of summer tires.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brakefully release.
Note:If you intend on parking your vehiclefor an extended period after cleaning thewheels with a wheel cleaner, drive yourvehicle for a few minutes before doing so toreduce the risk of increased corrosion of thebrake discs, brake pads and linings.
REMOVING YOUR VEHICLE
FROM STORAGE
When your vehicle is ready to come out ofstorage, do the following:
•We recommend that you change theengine oil before you use your vehicleagain.
•Wash your vehicle to remove any dirtor grease film build-up on windowsurfaces.
•Check windshield wipers for anydeterioration.
•Check the underhood for any foreignmaterials such as mice or squirrelnests.
•Check the exhaust for any foreignmaterials.
•Check tire pressures and set tireinflation per the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Corrodedbrake rotors could cause brake noise.Drive your vehicle and gently apply andrelease the brakes repeatedly over a10-minute drive to reduce the corrosionfrom the brakes.
•Check fluid levels (including coolant,oil and gas) to make sure there are noleaks, and fluids are at recommendedlevels.
•If you remove the battery, clean thebattery cable ends and check fordamage.
Contact an authorized dealer if you haveany concerns or issues.
