ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING: In the event of engineshutdown, make sure your vehicle issafely off the road and the problem isresolved before returning to the road.Failure to do so may result in a crash,serious injury or death.
This feature automatically shuts down theengine when it has been idling in park (P)or neutral (N) for an extended period,depending on the setting.
When the engine idle shutdown processhas started:
•A chime sounds and a messageappears in the information displayshowing a timer counting down from30 seconds.
•You can reset the timer by pressing thebrake pedal, accelerator pedal, or byshifting into another gear.
•If you do not intervene within 30seconds, the engine shuts down and amessage appears in the informationdisplay alerting you that the engine hasshut down.
•Shortly after the engine has shut down,the electrical system simulates a keyoff and even though the ignition is stillon, the electrical system simulates anormal accessory delay period beforeshutting down.
•You must switch the ignition off toreset the system before restarting yourvehicle.
The engine idle shutdown timer does notstart if:
•The engine is operating in batterycharge protect or power take-off mode.
•The exhaust emission control device isregenerating.

We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in coldtemperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and heater cordplug connections are free and clear ofwater. This could cause an electricshock or fire.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in aclean area, clear of combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in theelectrical hookup once the system hasbeen operating for approximately 30minutes.
•Make sure the system is unplugged andproperly stowed before starting anddriving your vehicle. Make sure theprotective cover seals the prongs of theblock heater cord plug when not in use.
•Make sure the heater system ischecked for proper operation beforewinter.
Using the Engine Block Heater
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the heater longer than three hoursdoes not improve system performance andunnecessarily uses electricity.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
DIESEL
Avoid running out of fuel. This allows air toenter the fuel system and may make itdifficult to restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
•Normally adding 4–5 gal (15–19 L) offuel is enough to restart the engine. Ifyour vehicle is out of fuel and on asteep grade, more than 5 gal (19 L)may be required.
•You must purge trapped air from thesystem before restarting the engine.
Purging Air From the System
Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds andthen switch the ignition off. Repeat thisoperation six times in a row to purge anytrapped air from the fuel system.
Any remaining air in the system self-purgeswhen the engine starts. The engine mayrun rough or produce white smoke whenair remains in the fuel system. This isnormal and stops after a short period. Ifthe engine continues to run rough, haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Starting the Engine
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine fails to start, switch the ignitionoff and wait 30 seconds before crankingthe engine again. See Starting a DieselEngine (page 103).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
GASOLINE
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onpowertrain components.
If you run out of fuel:
•You may need to switch the ignitionfrom off to on several times afterrefueling to allow the fuel system topump the fuel from the tank to theengine. When restarting, cranking timetakes a few seconds longer thannormal. With keyless ignition, just startthe engine. Crank time will be longerthan usual.
•Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel isenough to restart the engine. If thevehicle is out of fuel and on a steepgrade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may berequired.
•The service engine soon indicator maycome on. See Warning Lamps andIndicators (page 67).
REFUELING - DIESEL
WARNING: Fuel vapor burnsviolently and a fuel fire can cause severeinjuries.
WARNING: Read and follow all theinstructions on the pump island.
WARNING: When refueling alwaysshut the engine off and never allowsparks or open flames near the fuel tankfiller valve. Never smoke or use a cellphone while refueling. Fuel vapor isextremely hazardous under certainconditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
WARNING: Stay outside yourvehicle and do not leave the fuel pumpunattended when refueling your vehicle.
WARNING: Keep children awayfrom the fuel pump. Never let childrenpump fuel.

1.When your vehicle has stopped, shiftinto neutral (N) or park (P).
2.Apply the parking brake and switch theignition off.
3.Turn the fuel filler capcounterclockwise and remove it.
4.Refuel your vehicle as required.
5.Replace the fuel filler cap, turn itclockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warningmessage appears in the instrument cluster,you may not have installed the fuel fillercap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,at the next opportunity, safely pull off ofthe road, remove the fuel filler cap, alignthe cap properly and reinstall it. The checkfuel cap warning lamp or warning messagemay not reset immediately. It may takeseveral driving cycles for the indicators toturn off. A driving cycle consists of anengine start-up (after four or more hourswith the engine off) followed by normalcity and highway driving.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximumamount of fuel that you can add to the fueltank after running out of fuel. Included inthe advertised capacity is an emptyreserve. The empty reserve is anunspecified amount of fuel that remainsin the fuel tank when the fuel gaugeindicates empty.
Note:The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling; aninaccurate reading results if the engineis left running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isyour engine’s break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequencyof fill ups or fuel gauge readings are notaccurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3.After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply theliters used by 100, then divide by kilometerstraveled. To calculate MPG (miles pergallon) fuel consumption, divide milestraveled by gallons used.

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test ifthe service engine soon indicator is on ornot working properly (bulb is burned out),or if the OBD-II system has determinedthat some of the emission control systemshave not been properly checked. In thiscase, the vehicle is not ready for I/Mtesting.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission hasjust been serviced, or the battery hasrecently run down or been replaced, theOBD-II system may indicate that thevehicle is not ready for I/M testing. Todetermine if the vehicle is ready for I/Mtesting, turn the ignition key to the onposition for 15 seconds without crankingthe engine. If the service engine soonindicator blinks eight times, it means thatthe vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; ifthe service engine soon indicator stays onsolid, it means that your vehicle is readyfor I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emissioncontrol system during normal driving. Acomplete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,you can perform the following driving cycleconsisting of mixed city and highwaydriving:
1.15 minutes of steady driving on anexpressway or highway followed by 20minutes of stop-and-go driving with atleast four 30-second idle periods.
2.Allow your vehicle to sit for at leasteight hours with the ignition off. Then,start the vehicle and complete theabove driving cycle. The vehicle mustwarm up to its normal operatingtemperature. Once started, do not turnoff the vehicle until the above drivingcycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/Mtesting, you need to repeat the abovedriving cycle.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalyticreduction system. This system helpsreduce emission levels of oxides ofnitrogen from the exhaust system. Thesystem automatically injects dieselexhaust fluid into the exhaust system toenable correct selective catalytic reductionsystem function.
Note:Selective catalytic reduction systemsare not fitted to vehicles in markets whereonly high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the system to operate correctlyyou must maintain the diesel exhaust fluidlevel.
The system has a sensor to monitor fluidlevel and quality/concentration. A warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay when the diesel exhaust fluid levelis low. If a warning message appears, refillthe diesel exhaust fluid tank as soon aspossible. See Information Messages(page 75).
Filling the Diesel Exhaust FluidTank
WARNING: Keep diesel exhaustfluid out of reach of children. Avoidcontact with skin, eyes or clothing. Incase of contact with your eyes, flushimmediately with water and get promptmedical attention. In case of contactwith your skin, clean immediately withsoap and water. If you swallow anydiesel exhaust fluid, drink plenty ofwater, call a physician immediately.

WARNING: Do not apply the brakepedal and accelerator pedalsimultaneously. Applying both pedalssimultaneously for more than a fewseconds limits vehicle performance,which may result in difficulty maintainingspeed in traffic and could lead to seriousinjury.
Understanding the Shift Positionsof Your Automatic Transmission
6-Speed Transmissions
10-Speed Transmissions
Putting your vehicle in or out of gear:
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Move the gearshift lever into thepreferred gear.
3.When you finish driving, come to acomplete stop.
4.Move the gearshift lever and securelylatch it in park (P) or neutral (N).
The instrument cluster displays the currentgear.
Park (P)
If your transmission has a park (P) position,this position locks the transmission andprevents the rear wheels from turning.
Reverse (R)
With the gearshift lever in reverse (R), yourvehicle moves backward. Always come toa complete stop before shifting into andout of reverse (R).
Neutral (N)
With the gearshift lever in neutral (N), youcan start your vehicle and it is free to roll.Hold the brake pedal down when in thisposition.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position forthe best fuel economy. The overdrivefunction allows automatic upshifts anddownshifts through gears one through six.
Manual (M)
With the gearshift lever in manual (M), thedriver can change gears up or down aspreferred. By moving the gearshift leverfrom drive (D) to manual (M), you nowhave control of selecting the gear youprefer using the buttons on the shift lever.See Understanding Your SelectShiftAutomatic™ Transmission later in thissection.

9.Start your vehicle.
Perform Steps 4 through 8 in reverse order,making sure to engage the hinge pivotsbetween the upper and lower halves of theshroud. Keep slight pressure in the forwarddirection as you rotate the halves together.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mudor Snow
Note:Do not rock your vehicle if the engineis not at normal operating temperature ordamage to the transmission could occur.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle for morethan a minute or damage to thetransmission and tires could occur, or theengine could overheat.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, youcould rock it out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.
POWER TAKE-OFF (IF EQUIPPED)
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,or PTO, is often added to the engine ortransmission to operate utility equipment.Examples include a wheel-lift for towtrucks, cranes, tools for construction or tireservice and pumping fluids. PTOapplications draw auxiliary horsepowerfrom the powertrain, often while the
vehicle is stationary or mobile. In thestationary condition, there is limitedcooling air flow through the radiator andaround the vehicle that normally occurswhen a vehicle is moving. The aftermarketPTO system installer, having the mostknowledge of the final application, isresponsible for determining whetheradditional chassis heat protection orpowertrain cooling is required and alertingthe user to the safe and proper operation.
Your vehicle is approved for use as aStationary Mode, SplitShaft Mode orMobile Mode power source within the limitsand operating guidelines detailed in theFord Truck Body Builders Layout Book,found at https://fordbbas.com/home andthrough the Ford Truck Body BuildersAdvisory Service. The transmission powersource modes are engine specific.

WHAT IS THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The pneumatic locking differential can lockor unlock the differential when the vehicleis moving or stopped. The differential lockprovides full power to both wheels whenextra traction is required.
HOW DOES THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
If your vehicle is equipped with apneumatic locking differential:
•Power is transmitted to the oppositewheel should one of the wheels beginto slip.
•Raise both wheels off the ground if itbecomes necessary to operate onewheel with the vehicle stationary.
The differential can be locked or unlockedwhen the vehicle is moving at a constantspeed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) andwhile the wheels are not slipping. Do notlock the differential when the vehicle istraveling down steep grades and tractionis minimal.
Note:Do not use the differential lock atvehicle speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the differential is locked, thevehicle’s turning radius increases causingundersteer.
The differential lock and differential locklight automatically disengage at speedsabove 25 mph (40 km/h). The differentiallock remains off until the vehicle isrestarted or the differential lock switch isturned off then back on.
PNEUMATIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Exceeding any vehicleweight rating can adversely affect theperformance and handling of yourvehicle, cause vehicle damage and canresult in the loss of control of yourvehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Failure to raise all drivewheels with this type of differential couldcause the vehicle to move unexpectedly,resulting in property damage, personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Sudden accelerationon slippery surfaces could cause thewheels to spin, the vehicle to turnsideways on a crowned road surface orin a turn, possibly resulting in loss ofvehicle control and personal injury.
SWITCHING THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF
Press and hold the button on the dash toturn the system on or off.
