1.Remove the diesel exhaust fluidcontainer cap. Place the spout onto thecontainer and tighten until you feel astrong resistance.
2.Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tankfiller cap.
3.Insert the spout into the filler neck untilthe seal on the spout seats onto thefiller neck. Pour the fluid into the tank.When the tank is full the fluid stops. Incase of direct fill tank, the spout doesnot seal against the fill tank interfaceand does not stop the flowingautomatically.
4.Return the container to the verticalposition slightly below the dieselexhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluidremaining in the spout to drain backinto the container.
5.Remove the spout from the dieselexhaust fluid filler neck. Replace thediesel exhaust fluid tank cap.
6.Remove the spout from the dieselexhaust fluid container and replace thecap.
Note:If there is diesel exhaust fluid left inthe container retain it for later use. Thespout is reusable. Wash the spout withclean water prior to storage. Do not use thediesel exhaust fluid spout with any otherfluid.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank inCold Climates
Diesel exhaust fluid freezes if the ambienttemperature is below 12°F (-11°C). Yourvehicle has a preheating system whichallows diesel exhaust fluid to operatebelow 12°F (-11°C). If you do not use yourvehicle for an extended period when theambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C),the fluid in the tank freezes. If the tank isoverfilled and the fluid freezes it maydamage the tank. This is not covered bythe vehicle warranty.
Note: If the diesel exhaust fluid tank isfrozen, it may not recognize when the tankis refilled. The diesel exhaust fluid levelupdates once the tank thaws out.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid WarningMessages and Vehicle Operations
WARNING: Diesel exhaust fluidmust be refilled when low or replacedwhen contaminated or your vehiclespeed becomes limited to 50 mph(80 km/h). In these conditions, drive withcaution and refill diesel exhaust fluidimmediately. If the diesel exhaust fluidbecomes empty or contaminated andfluid is not replaced, your vehiclebecomes limited to engine idle only oncestopped. In these conditions, be cautiouswhere you stop your vehicle because youmay not be able to drive long distancesor maintain highway speeds until yourefill or replace the diesel exhaust fluid.
Note:Drain and replace diluted dieselexhaust fluid.
WARNING: Tampering with ordisabling the selective catalyticreduction system results in severevehicle performance limitation includingeventual speed limiting to 5 mph(8 km/h).
A systems check displays messagesindicating the amount of diesel exhaustfluid available or displays a warningmessage indicating the approximatedistance remaining as the fluid in the dieselexhaust fluid tank nears empty. SeeInformation Messages (page 75).

Note:Battery posts, terminals and relatedaccessories contain lead and leadcompounds. Wash hands after handling.
Note:Electrical or electronic accessoriesor components added to the vehicle by thedealer or the owner may adversely affectbattery performance and durability.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraftmaintenance-free battery which normallydoes not require additional water duringits life of service.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep thetop of the battery clean and dry. Also,make certain the battery cables are alwaystightly fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery orterminals, remove the cables from theterminals and clean with a wire brush. Youcan neutralize the acid with a solution ofbaking soda and water.
It is recommended that the negativebattery cable terminal be disconnectedfrom the battery if you plan to store yourvehicle for an extended period of time.
Because your vehicle’s engine iselectronically controlled by a computer,some control conditions are maintainedby power from the battery. When thebattery is disconnected or a new batteryis installed, the engine must relearn its idleand fuel trim strategy for optimumdriveability and performance. To begin thisprocess
1.With the vehicle at a complete stop,set the parking brake.
2.Put the gearshift in park (P) or neutral(N) and turn off all accessories.
3.Start the engine. Run the engine untilit reaches normal operatingtemperature.
4.Allow the engine to idle for at least oneminute.
5.Turn the air conditioning (if equipped)on and allow the engine to idle for atleast one minute.
6.Release the parking brake. With yourfoot on the brake pedal and with theair conditioning on, put the vehicle indrive (D) and allow the engine to idlefor at least one minute.
•If you do not allow the engine torelearn its idle trim, the idle qualityof your vehicle may be adverselyaffected until the idle trim iseventually relearned.
7.Drive the vehicle to complete therelearning process
•The vehicle may need to be driven10 mi (16 km) or more to relearn theidle and fuel trim strategy alongwith the ethanol content for flexiblefuel vehicles.
If the battery has been disconnected or anew battery has been installed, the clockand radio settings must be reset once thebattery is reconnected.
Always dispose of automotivebatteries in a responsible manner.Follow your local authorized standardsfor disposal. Call your local authorizedrecycling center to find out more aboutrecycling automotive batteries.
Battery Management System (IfEquipped)
The battery management system (BMS)monitors battery conditions and takesactions to extend battery life. If excessivebattery drain is detected, the system maytemporarily disable certain electricalfeatures to protect the battery. Thoseelectrical accessories affected include therear defrost, heated/cooled seats, climatecontrol fan, heated steering wheel, audioand navigation system. A message may beshown in the information displays to alert

Sometimes irregular tire wear canbe corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING: Wheels and tires mustbe the same size, load index and speedrating as those originally fitted on thevehicle. Use of any other tire or wheelcan affect the safety and performanceof your vehicle. Additionally, the use ofnon-recommended tires and wheels cancause steering, suspension, axle, transfercase or power transfer unit failure.Follow the recommended tire inflationpressures found on the SafetyCompliance Certification label, or theTire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge ofthe driver door. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, or personal injuryor death.
The tires on your vehicle have all-weathertreads to provide traction in rain and snow.However, in some climates, you may needto use snow tires and cables. If you needto use cables, it is recommended that steelwheels (of the same size andspecifications) be used, as cables may chipaluminum wheels.
Note:The suspension insulation andbumpers help prevent vehicle damage. Donot remove these components from yourvehicle when using snow tires and chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snowtires and chains:
•If possible, avoid fully loading yourvehicle.
•Install chains securely, verifying thatthe chains do not touch any wiring,brake lines or fuel lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the chainsrub or bang against your vehicle, stopand retighten the chains. If this doesnot work, remove the chains to preventdamage to your vehicle.
•Remove the snow chains when theyare no longer needed. Do not use snowchains on dry roads.
Please contact your upfitter for approvedsnow chain types/sizes and otherrecommendations for snow chain use.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
If you get a flat tire while driving, do notapply the brake heavily. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed. Hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safeplace on the side of the road.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: To help prevent yourvehicle from moving when changing awheel, shift the transmission into park(P), set the parking brake and use anappropriate block or wheel chock tosecure the wheel diagonally opposite tothe wheel being changed. For example,when changing the front left wheel,place an appropriate block or wheelchock on the right rear wheel.

Rear Axle Maintenance
A rear axle fluid change or level check isnot required unless you suspect a leak orthe assembly has been submerged inwater. During long periods of trailer towingwith outside temperatures above 70°F(21°C), and at wide-open throttle for longperiods above 45 mph (72 km/h), changethe rear axle fluid every 24,000 mi(38,000 km) or three months, whichevercomes first.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, theCalifornia Air Resources Board hasdetermined that the failure to perform thismaintenance item does not nullify theemission warranty or limit recall liabilitybefore the completion of your vehicle'suseful life. We, however, urge you to haveall recommended maintenance servicesperformed at the specified intervals andto record all vehicle service.
Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals
The normal oil change interval is 3,000 mi(5,000 km) for gasoline vehicles operatingin the Middle East, North Africa,Sub-Saharan Africa or locations withsimilar climates using American PetroleumInstitute (API) oils Certified for GasolineEngines and displaying the API CertificationMark. If API Certified Oils are not available,then it is acceptable to use API SM or SNoils. If API oils are not available, then theoil change interval is 1,750 mi (3,000 km).
Engine Air Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter is dependenton exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.Vehicles operated in these conditionsrequire frequent inspection andreplacement of the engine air filter andcabin air filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter
Over time, a slight amount of ash buildsup in the diesel particulate filter, which isnot removed during the regenerationprocess. The filter may need to be replacedwith a new or remanufactured part atapproximately 250,000 mi (400,000 km).Actual mileage varies depending on engineand vehicle operating conditions.
In this case, the engine control system setsa service light (wrench icon) to inform youto bring your vehicle to the dealer forservice.
