Note:Do not blend used engine oil withdiesel fuel under any circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel willsignificantly increase your vehicle’s exhaustemissions and reduce engine life due toincreased internal wear.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16-500 ppm) or high sulfurdiesel fuel (greater than 500ppm) in your diesel engine will causecertain emission components tomalfunction which may also cause theservice engine soon light to illuminateindicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperature. For best results attemperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it isrecommended to use a diesel fuel whichhas been seasonally adjusted for theambient conditions.
Fuel Requirements - Choosing TheRight Fuel: Vehicles OperatedWhere Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel FuelIs Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably onlow-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, theengine must be a factory built high-sulfurengine (available as a dealer order optionfor select markets) or an ultra low sulfurdiesel fuel configured engine that has beenretrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel usingFord Motor Company dealer service parts.Failure to use retrofit components otherthan those available through yourauthorized dealer will result in coolantsystem damage, engine overheating,selective catalyst reduction system ordiesel particulate filter damage andpossible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for usewith high sulfur diesel fuel in markets withdiesel fuel that has sulfur content greaterthan 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel enginedesigned to use only Ultra Low SulfurDiesel fuel may result in damage to engineemission control devices and theaftertreatment system, potentiallyrendering the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for usewith high sulfur diesel fuel are onlyavailable for sale in countries where ultralow sulfur diesel fuel is generally notavailable or mandated by the government.Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfurdiesel fuel market that are subsequentlyexported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuelmarkets will need to be retrofitted (at thecustomer’s expense using Ford authorizeddealer service parts) in order to be reliablyoperated on non- ultra low sulfur dieselfuel.
Biodiesel
WARNING: Do not mix diesel withgasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This couldcause an explosion.
Note:Do not use home heating oil,agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils, wastecooking greases, biodiesel fuels greater than20% or any diesel fuel not intended forhighway use. Red dye is used to identifyfuels intended for agricultural andnon-highway use. Damage to the fuelinjection system, engine and exhaustcatalyst can occur if an improper fuel isused.
You may operate your vehicle on dieselfuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, alsoknown as B20.

EMISSION LAW
WARNING: Do not remove or alterthe original equipment floor covering orinsulation between it and the metal floorof the vehicle. The floor covering andinsulation protect occupants of thevehicle from the engine and exhaustsystem heat and noise. On vehicles withno original equipment floor coveringinsulation, do not carry passengers in amanner that permits prolonged skincontact with the metal floor. Failure tofollow these instructions may result infire or personal injury.
U.S. federal laws and certain state lawsprohibit removing or rendering inoperativeemission control system components.Similar federal or provincial laws mayapply in Canada. We do not approve of anyvehicle modification without firstdetermining applicable laws.
Tampering with emissionscontrol systems includingrelated sensors or the DieselExhaust Fluid system can result in reducedengine power and the illumination of theservice engine soon light.
Tampering With a Noise ControlSystem
Federal laws prohibit the following acts:
•Removal or rendering inoperative byany person other than for purposes ofmaintenance.
•Repair or replacement of any device orelement of the design incorporated intoa new vehicle for the purpose of noisecontrol prior to its sale or delivery tothe ultimate purchaser or while it is inuse.
•The use of the vehicle after any personremoves or renders inoperative anydevice or element of the design.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencymay presume to constitute tampering asfollows:
•Removal of hood blanket, fender apronabsorbers, fender apron barriers,underbody noise shields or acousticallyabsorptive material.
•Tampering or rendering inoperative theengine speed governor, to allow enginespeed to exceed manufacturerspecifications.
If the engine does not start, runs rough,experiences a decrease in engineperformance, experiences excess fuelconsumption or produces excessiveexhaust smoke, check for the following:
•A plugged or disconnected air inletsystem hose.
•A plugged engine air filter element.
•Water in the fuel filter and waterseparator.
•A clogged fuel filter.
•Contaminated fuel.
•Air in the fuel system, due to looseconnections.
•An open or pinched sensor hose.
•Incorrect engine oil level.

Illumination of the service engine soonindicator, charging system warning light orthe temperature warning light, fluid leaks,strange odors, smoke or loss of enginepower could indicate that the emissioncontrol system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damagedexhaust system may allow exhaust toenter the vehicle. Have a damaged orimproperly operating exhaust systeminspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes toyour vehicle or engine. By law, vehicleowners and anyone who manufactures,repairs, services, sells, leases, tradesvehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehiclesare not permitted to intentionally removean emission control device or prevent itfrom working. Information about yourvehicle’s emission system is on the VehicleEmission Control Information Decallocated on or near the engine. This decalalso lists engine displacement.
Please consult your warranty informationfor complete details.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle has a computer known as theon-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) thatmonitors the engine’s emission controlsystem. The system protects theenvironment by making sure that yourvehicle continues to meet governmentemission standards. The OBD-II systemalso assists a service technician in properlyservicing your vehicle.
When the service engine soonindicator illuminates, the OBD-IIsystem has detected amalfunction. Temporary malfunctions maycause the service engine soon indicator toilluminate. Examples are:
1.Your vehicle has run out of fuel—theengine may misfire or run poorly.
2.Poor fuel quality or water in thefuel—the engine may misfire or runpoorly.
3.The fuel fill inlet may not have closedproperly. See Refueling (page 112).
4.Driving through deep water—theelectrical system may be wet.
You can correct these temporarymalfunctions by filling the fuel tank withgood quality fuel, properly closing the fuelfill inlet or letting the electrical system dryout. After three driving cycles without theseor any other temporary malfunctionspresent, the service engine soon indicatorshould stay off the next time you start theengine. A driving cycle consists of a coldengine startup followed by mixed city andhighway driving. No additional vehicleservice is required.
If the service engine soon indicator remainson, have your vehicle serviced at the firstavailable opportunity. Although somemalfunctions detected by the OBD-II maynot have symptoms that are apparent,continued driving with the service enginesoon indicator on can result in increasedemissions, lower fuel economy, reducedengine and transmission smoothness andlead to more costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection andMaintenance (I/M) Testing
Some state and provincial and localgovernments may haveInspection/Maintenance (I/M) programsto inspect the emission control equipmenton your vehicle. Failure to pass thisinspection could prevent you from gettinga vehicle registration.
If the service engine soonindicator is on or the bulb doesnot work, your vehicle may needservice. See On-Board Diagnostics.

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).
