Cold Weather Starting
WARNING: Do not use startingfluid, for example ether, in the air intakesystem. Such fluid could causeimmediate explosive damage to theengine and possible personal injury.
WARNING: Do not mix diesel withgasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This couldcause an explosion.
We recommend using the engine blockheater for starting when the ambienttemperature is at or below -9°F (-23°C).See Engine Block Heater (page 105).
When operating in cold weather, you canuse Motorcraft® cetane improvers ornon-alcohol-based cetane improvers froma reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine fails to start, turn the key to theoff position and wait 30 seconds beforetrying again.
Your vehicle may come with a coldweather starting strategy that preventssevere engine damage by assisting inengine lubrication warm-up. In extremelycold ambient temperatures, this strategyactivates and prevents the acceleratorpedal use for 30 seconds after startingyour vehicle. A message appears in theinformation display as your vehicle warmsup. By not allowing the accelerator pedaluse, the engine oil can properly lubricatethe bearings preventing engine damagedue to lack of proper lubrication. After the30 second warm-up period, theaccelerator pedal is operational again anda message appears informing you that yourvehicle is ready to drive.
When starting the engine in extremely coldtemperatures, for example -15°F (-26°C),we recommend you allow the engine toidle for several minutes before driving yourvehicle.
Illuminates when you switch theignition on as part of thepre-starting system.
1.Turn the key to the on position withoutturning the key to the start position. Donot start the engine until the wait tostart indicator turns off.
2.When the wait to start indicator turnsoff, turn the key to the start positionand release the key as soon as theengine starts. Once the engine starts,the glow plugs may remain on for aperiod. If you attempt to start theengine before the glow plug activationtime ends, but it fails to start, reset theglow plugs by turning the key to the offposition.
3.Once the engine starts, allow it to idlefor about 15 seconds. This is to protectthe engine. Do not increase enginespeed until the oil pressure gaugeindicates normal pressure.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to fiveminutes before shutting it down. The largerthe engine, the greater the need is for thisidling period.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes.Excessive idling reduces fuel economy.

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.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Failure to follow engineblock heater instructions could result inproperty damage or serious personalinjury.
WARNING: Do not use your heaterwith ungrounded electrical systems ortwo-pronged adapters. There is a risk ofelectrical shock.
WARNING: Do not fully close thehood, or allow it to drop under its ownweight when using the engine blockheater. This could damage the powercable and may cause an electrical shortresulting in fire, injury and propertydamage.
Note:The heater is most effective whenoutdoor temperatures are below 0°F(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid bywarming the engine coolant. This allowsthe climate control system to respondquickly. The equipment includes a heaterelement (installed in the engine block) anda wire harness. You can connect thesystem to a grounded 120-volt ACelectrical source.

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.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Your fuel economy is affected by severalthings, such as how you drive, theconditions you drive under, and how youmaintain your vehicle.
You may improve your fuel economy bykeeping these things in mind:
•Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,moderate fashion.
•Drive at steady speeds withoutstopping.
•Anticipate stops; slowing down mayeliminate the need to stop.
•Close the windows for high-speeddriving.
•Drive at reasonable speeds. Travelingat 55 mph (90 km/h) uses 15% lessfuel than traveling at 65 mph(105 km/h).
•Keep the tires properly inflated and useonly the recommended size.
•Use the recommended engine oil.
•Perform all regularly scheduledmaintenance.
Avoid these actions; they reduce your fueleconomy:
•Sudden accelerations or hardaccelerations.
•Warm up your vehicle on coldmornings.
•Use the air conditioner.
•Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•Rest your foot on the brake pedal whiledriving.
•Carry unnecessary weight.Approximately 1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lostfor every 400 lb (180 kg) of weightcarried.
•Driving with the wheels out ofalignment.
Conditions
•Adding certain accessories to yourvehicle may reduce fuel economy. Forexample bug deflectors, rollbars, lightbars, running boards, ski racks orluggage racks.
•Using fuel blended with alcohol maylower fuel economy.
•Fuel economy may decrease with lowertemperatures during the first 5–10 mi(12–16 km) of driving.
•Driving on flat terrain offers improvedfuel economy as compared to drivingon hilly terrain.
•Transmissions give their best fueleconomy when operated in the topcruise gear and with steady pressureon the gas pedal.
COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS - 6.7L DIESEL
Winter Grille Cover (If Equipped)
The winter grille cover enhances heaterperformance and will reduce the amountof time it takes to warm the inside of yourvehicle in extremely cold conditions below-0.4°F (-18°C).
The winter grille cover installs over theoutside of the front grille and restricts theair flowing to the engine compartment bycovering the radiator grille openings.
