AUXILIARY SWITCHES (IF
EQUIPPED)
For maximum vehicle performance, keepthe following information in mind whenadding accessories or equipment to yourvehicle:
•When adding accessories, equipment,passengers and luggage to yourvehicle, do not exceed the total weightcapacity of the vehicle or of the frontor rear axle (GVWR or GAWR asindicated on the Safety ComplianceCertification label). Ask an authorizeddealer for specific weight information.
•The Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and CanadianRadio TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC) regulate the useof mobile communications systemsequipped with radio transmitters, forexample, two-way radios, telephonesand theft alarms. Any such equipmentinstalled in your vehicle should complywith Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and CanadianRadio TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC) regulations, andshould be installed by an authorizeddealer.
•An authorized dealer needs to installmobile communications systems.Improper installation may harm theoperation of your vehicle, particularlyif the manufacturer did not design themobile communication systemspecifically for automotive use.
•If you or an authorized Ford dealer addany non-Ford electrical or electronicaccessories or components to yourvehicle, you may adversely affectbattery performance and durability. Inaddition, you may also adversely affectthe performance of other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
The auxiliary switch option packageprovides four switches, mounted in thecenter of the instrument panel. Theseswitches operate when the ignition is onor from battery power, depending on theswitchable power distribution box fuselocations #82 and #83. We recommend,however, that the engine remain runningto maintain battery charge when using theauxiliary switches for extended periods oftime or higher current draws.
Note:When your vehicle has a dieselengine, use the auxiliary switches only whilethe engine is running. The glow plugs alsodrain battery power when the ignition key isin the on position. Using the auxiliaryswitches, even for limited amounts of time,can cause your battery to drain quickly andprevent your vehicle from restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switchesprovide 20 amps or 40 amps of electricalbattery power for a variety of personal orcommercial uses.
The relays for the auxiliary switches are inthe power distribution box under the hoodby the right-hand fender. See yourauthorized dealer for service.
Each switch includes a power lead, ablunt-cut and sealed wire below theinstrument panel and to the left of thesteering column in the driver footwell area.
The power leads are coded as shown:

Failure to perform scheduled maintenanceinvalidates warranty coverage on partsaffected by the lack of maintenance.

Your vehicle is equipped with theIntelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, whichdisplays a message in the instrumentcluster display at the proper oil changeinterval. This interval may be up to one yearor 10,000 mi (16,000 km) for gas enginesand up to one year or 15,000 mi(24,000 km) for diesel engines.

Your vehicle can be driven in such a waythat dilutes and increases the level of oilby short trips that do not allow the engineto get to operating temperature, extendedidling, and low speed driving for longperiods of time.
A message appears in the instrumentcluster display when it is time for an oilchange. Make sure you perform the oilchange within two weeks or 500 mi(800 km) of the message appearing. Makesure you reset the Intelligent Oil-LifeMonitor after each oil change. SeeInstrument Cluster (page 64).
If your instrument cluster display resetsprematurely or becomes inoperative, youshould perform the oil change interval atsix months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) fromyour last oil change. Never exceed one yearor 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oilchange intervals for gas engines.
Never exceed one year or 15,000 mi(24,000 km) between oil change intervalsfor diesel engines.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and builtwith multiple, complex, performancesystems. Every manufacturer developsthese systems using differentspecifications and performance features.That is why it is important to rely upon yourdealership to properly diagnose and repairyour vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommendedmaintenance intervals for various partsand component systems based uponengineering testing. Ford Motor Companyrelies upon this testing to determine themost appropriate mileage for replacementof oils and fluids to protect your vehicle atthe lowest overall cost to you andrecommends against maintenanceschedules that deviate from the scheduledmaintenance information.

This owner's manual and the FordWorkshop Manual list the recommendedadditives and chemicals for your vehicle.We do not recommend using chemicals oradditives not approved by us as part ofyour vehicle’s normal maintenance. Pleaseconsult your warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is anormal operating characteristic and, byitself, does not necessarily indicate aconcern or that the fluid needs to bechanged. However, a qualified expert, suchas the factory-trained technicians at yourdealership, should inspect discolored fluidsthat also show signs of overheating orforeign material contaminationimmediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils andfluids at the specified intervals or inconjunction with a repair. Flushing is aviable way to change fluid for many vehiclesub-systems during scheduledmaintenance. It is critical that systems areflushed only with new fluid that is the sameas that required to fill and operate thesystem or using a Ford-approved flushingchemical.

There are three types of maintenanceintervals for general vehicle environments:On-Highway, City and Severe Service. Inall applications, monitoring miles(kilometers) and time and when the engineis due for an oil change determine theactual interval. When the engine oil changeis required before the truck lubricationinterval, perform the lubrication at thesame time in order to reduce your vehicle’stime out of service.
