STARTING A GASOLINE
ENGINE
When you start the engine, the idle speedincreases helping to warm up the engine.If the engine idle speed does not slowdown, have your vehicle checked as soonas possible.
Before starting the engine check thefollowing:
•Make sure all occupants fasten theirseatbelts.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the transmission is in park(P) or neutral (N).
•Turn the ignition key to the on position.
Note:Do not press the accelerator pedal.
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Turn the key to the start position tostart the engine. Release the key whenthe engine starts.
Note:The engine may continue crankingfor up to 15 seconds or until it starts.
Note:If you cannot start the engine on thefirst try, wait for a short period and try again.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after threeattempts, wait 10 seconds and follow thisprocedure:
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Shift into park (P).
3.Fully press and hold the acceleratorpedal.
4.Attempt to start your vehicle and waituntil the engine stops cranking.
5.Release the accelerator pedal.
6.Start the engine.
Stopping the Engine When YourVehicle is Stationary
1.Shift into park (P) or neutral (N).
2.Turn the key to the off position.
3.Apply the parking brake.
Stopping the Engine When YourVehicle is Moving

Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and leave theengine idling for long periods of time, werecommend you either open the windowsat least 1 in (3 cm) or set the climatecontrol to outside air.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefullybefore you start your vehicle.
The 6.7L diesel engine incorporates a delaybetween a crank command and starterengagement to crank the engine. Thisdelay ensures robust starting performancein all environmental conditions includingextreme cold. The crank command isinitiated by the operator by turning theignition key. The delay varies with enginecoolant temperature. There is no delay forhot coolant temperature. The delayincreases at colder coolant temperatures.Maximum delay of 2.5 seconds isexperienced below -13.0°F (-25°C).
Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow PlugSystem
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
•Eight glow plugs, one per cylinder.
•Glow plug control module.
•Engine coolant temperature sensor.
•Barometric pressure sensor.
•Environmental temperature sensor.
The powertrain and glow plug controlmodules electronically control the glowplug system. After you switch the ignitionon, the glow plug control moduleimmediately energizes the glow plugs. Theglow plug control module, using the enginecoolant temperature, barometric pressuresensor and environmental temperaturesensor, determines how long the glowplugs stay energized. The required time forthe glow plugs to be energized decreasesas the coolant temperature, barometricpressure and environmental temperatureincrease.
Before starting the engine, check thefollowing:
•Make sure all occupants fasten theirseatbelt.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the transmission is in park(P) or neutral (N).
•Turn the ignition key to the on position.
Note:Do not press the accelerator duringstarting.
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
2.Turn the key to the start position tostart the engine. Release the key whenthe engine starts.

We recommend the use of a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment to tow yourvehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. FordMotor Company has not approved aslingbelt towing procedure. Vehicledamage may occur if towed incorrectly, orby any other means.
Ford Motor Company produces a towingmanual for all authorized tow truckoperators. Have your tow truck operatorrefer to this manual for proper hook-upand towing procedures for your vehicle.
It is acceptable to have your two-wheeldrive vehicle towed with the front wheelson the ground (without dollies) and therear wheels off the ground.
TOWING POINTS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Using recovery hooksis dangerous and should only be done bya person familiar with proper vehiclerecovery safety practices. Improper useof recovery hooks may cause hook failureor separation from the vehicle and couldresult in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Always slowly removethe slack from the recovery strap priorto pulling. Failure to do so can introducesignificantly higher loads which cancause the recovery hooks to break off, orthe recovery strap to fail which can causeserious injury or death.
WARNING: Never link two strapstogether with a clevis pin. These heavymetal objects could become projectilesif the strap breaks and can cause seriousinjury or death.
Your vehicle comes equipped withframe-mounted front recovery hooks.These hooks should never have a loadapplied to them greater than the grossvehicle weight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
•Make sure all attaching points aresecure and capable of withstandingthe applied load.
•Never use chains, cables or tow strapswith metal hook ends.
•Only use recovery straps that have aminimum breaking strength two tothree times the gross vehicle weight ofthe stuck vehicle.
•Make sure the recovery strap is in goodcondition and free of visible cuts, tearsor damage.
•Use a damper device such as a tarp,heavy blanket or piece of carpetdraped over the recovery strap to helpabsorb the energy in the event thestrap breaks.
•Make sure the stuck vehicle is notloaded heavier than its gross vehicleweight rating specified on thecertification label.
•Always align the tow vehicle and stuckvehicle in a straight line (within 10degrees).
•Keep bystanders to the sides of thevehicle, at a distance of at least twicethe length of the recovery strap. Thishelps avoid injury from the hazard of arecovery hook or strap breaking, or avehicle lurching into their path.

Engine compartment (with engine off)
Inspect for glazing, fraying or cracking. There should be nomore than 5-7 cracks per rib, per 1 in (2.5 cm)Belts (fan, alternator,water pump and airconditioningcompressor)
Inspect for signs of fluid puddles or dripping fluid on theground under the engine, or the underside of the engine.Fluid leaks
Inspect for debris that may have collected on the HVAC airinlet grille or inside the exterior module as this may reducesystem performance.
HVAC air inlet
Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Before entering the cab, verify that the vehicle is equippedwith spare electrical fuses (if used), three red reflectivetriangles, a properly charged and rated fire extinguisher andwheel chocks.
Safety and emergencyequipment
Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps and grab handles,inside and out (as well as behind), are tight and clean. Useextreme caution and a three-point stance at all times.
Inspect door latches for proper closing, latching and locking.
Set the parking brake. Make sure the gearshift lever is inneutral (N) or park (P) (if equipped with a park position).Starting the engine
Diesel engine: Turn the key to the on position. Turn the keyto start when the wait to start indicator light in the instrumentcluster turns off.
Gasoline engine: Turn the key to start, and then release itas soon as the engine starts.
Verify pressure builds to normal operating range.Engine oil pressure
A tone indicating low air pressure should sound immediatelyafter the engine starts but before the compressor has built-up pressure. The tone should stop when the air pressurereaches 70 psi (483 kPa). Let the air pressure build togoverned cutout pressure, which should occur between115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
Low air pressure warningtone (if equipped with anair compressor)
Press the accelerator and verify that it operates smoothly,without any binding or irregular feel. Release the pedal andverify the engine returns to idle speed immediately.
