2024 FORD F650/750 overheating

Note: If you repeatedly fold and unfold themirrors several times within one minute, thesystem may disable to protect the motorsfrom overheating. It resets to normalfunction automatically within three to fiveminutes.
You can also fold a mirror manually bypushing it toward the door window glass.After you manually adjust the mirror, youneed to reset it.
To reset the power folding mirror systemand return it to its normal function:
•Fold the mirror manually by pushing ittoward the door window glass.
•Use the power fold control to fold andunfold the mirror two or three times.The mirror makes a sound as it resets.

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.

Hilly Condition and Trailer TowUsage
You should select a lower gear when thesystem is active in situations such asprolonged downhill driving on steepgrades, for example in mountainous areas.The system needs additional enginebraking in these situations to reduce theload on the vehicle’s regular brake systemto prevent it from overheating.
Note:An audible alarm sounds and thesystem shuts down if it applies brakes foran extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool. The system functionsnormally again after the brakes cool.
Note:When towing with adaptive cruisecontrol, switch on Tow/Haul mode.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOff
Press and release the buttonwhen the system is in standbymode, or switch the ignition off.
Note:The set speed and gap setting iserased when you switch the system off.
Detection Issues
WARNING: On rare occasions,detection issues can occur due to theroad infrastructures, for example bridges,tunnels and safety barriers. In thesecases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening,if required.
WARNING: If the systemmalfunctions, have your vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
The radar sensor has a limited field of view.It may not detect vehicles at all or detecta vehicle later than expected in somesituations. The lead vehicle graphic doesnot illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.
Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.

Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, coolingsystem sealants, or non-specified additivesas they can cause damage to the enginecooling or heating systems. Resultingcomponent damage may not be covered bythe vehicle warranty.
It is very important to use predilutedcoolant approved to the correctspecification to avoid plugging the smallpassageways in the engine cooling system.See Cooling System Capacity andSpecification (page 301). Do not mixdifferent colors or types of coolant in yourvehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or usingan incorrect coolant may harm the engineor cooling system components and maynot be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes andmodels may not be approved to Fordspecifications and may cause damage tothe cooling system. Resulting componentdamage may not be covered by the vehicleWarranty.
If the coolant level is at or below theminimum mark, add prediluted coolantimmediately.
For vehicles with overflow coolant systemswith a non-pressurized cap on the coolantrecovery system, add coolant to thecoolant recovery reservoir when the engineis cool. Add prediluted coolant to themaximum level. For all vehicles which havea coolant degas system with a pressurizedcap, or if it is necessary to remove thecoolant pressure relief cap on the radiator,follow these steps to add engine coolant:
1.Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2.Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressureescapes as you unscrew the cap.
3.Fill the coolant reservoir slowly withprediluted engine coolant to within theminimum and maximum range on theengine coolant reservoir. If youremoved the radiator cap in anoverflow system, fill the radiator until
the coolant is visible and the radiatoris almost full. If coolant is added tobring the level within the minimum andmaximum range when the engine is notcold, the system may remain underfilled.
4.Replace the coolant reservoir cap, turnit clockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
5.Check the coolant level in the coolantreservoir the next few times you driveyour vehicle. If necessary, add enoughprediluted engine coolant to bring thecoolant level to the proper level.
Note:If prediluted coolant is not available,use the approved antifreeze concentratediluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. SeeCooling System Capacity andSpecification (page 301). Using water thathas not been deionized may contribute todeposit formation, corrosion or plugging ofthe small cooling system passageways.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) ofengine coolant per month, have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.Operating an engine with a low level ofcoolant can result in engine overheatingand possible engine damage.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, thecoolant may change color from orange topink or light red. As long as the coolant isclear and uncontaminated, this color changedoes not indicate the coolant has degradednor does it require the coolant to be drained,the system to be flushed, or the coolant tobe replaced.
In case of emergency, you can add a largeamount of water without predilutedcoolant to reach a vehicle service location.On arrival do the following:
1.Drain the cooling system.
2.Chemically clean the cooling system.We recommend Motorcraft PremiumCooling System Flush.
