•Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid withwater or any other liquid.
•An ammonia odor may be smelledwhen the cap is removed or duringrefill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a wellventilated area.
Typical Diesel Exhaust Fluid UsageWhen Using the Power Take Off (PTO)
Continuous PTO use—Minimal PTO use
0–7,800 mi (0–12,550 km)
Contaminated Diesel ExhaustFluid or Inoperative SelectiveCatalytic Reduction System
Selective catalytic reduction systems aresensitive to contamination of the dieselexhaust fluid. Maintaining the purity of thefluid is important to avoid systemmalfunctions. Do not add fuel or anyadditive to the diesel exhaust fluid tank. Ifyou remove or drain the diesel exhaust fluidtank, do not use the same fluid to refill thetank. The system has a sensor to monitorfluid quality.
A warning lamp illuminates anda message appears in theinformation display if the systembecomes contaminated or inoperative.
Continued driving without replacing dieselexhaust fluid or having the selectivecatalytic reduction system repaired resultsin the following actions as required by theCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) andU.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA):
•Within a preset distance to empty,speed is limited upon vehicle restart.Prior to this occurring a messageappears in the information display.
•Further vehicle operation withoutreplacing contaminated diesel exhaustfluid causes the engine to enter anidle-only condition. This only occursupon vehicle refueling, vehicle idling inpark for 1 hour, or engine shutdown for10 minutes or more and is indicated bya message in the information displayindicating the required actions toresume normal operation.
Note:For vehicle speed limiting or idle-onlycondition, normal vehicle operation resumeswhen you repair the contaminated system.To service a contaminated or inoperativesystem, see an authorized dealer.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
Your vehicle has a diesel particulate filter.The diesel particulate filter is an inline filterin the exhaust system that reduces carbonemissions by trapping exhaust particlesbefore they reach the tailpipe. The dieselparticulate filter looks similar to atraditional exhaust catalyst, except larger,and is part of the exhaust system underyour vehicle. The filter couples to a dieseloxidation catalyst that reduces the amountof harmful exhaust emitted from thetailpipe. As soot gathers in the system, itbegins to restrict the filter. Periodically, youneed to clean the soot that gathers insidethe filter. You can clean the soot in twodifferent ways, passive regeneration andactive regeneration. Both methods occur

Vehicles with Automatic Transmission
When you switch the ignition on, thesystem automatically turns on. You cannotturn the system on or off.
AIR BRAKES
WARNING: Failure to maintainproper air brake adjustment can resultin reduction or loss of braking ability.
WARNING: Do not drive or continueto drive if the low air pressure buzzer issounding or the brake warning light is lit.These warnings indicate that air pressureis not to normal operating level.Continued use of the vehicle could resultin loss of braking ability.
WARNING: Avoid repeated lightapplication of the brake pedal. Thisdepletes air pressure faster and couldresult in loss of braking capability.
WARNING: Do not move thevehicle when the air pressure isinsufficient because the brake systemmay be inoperative.
After starting the engine, allow time for theair compressor to build air pressure to60 psi (414 kPa) before moving yourvehicle.
Periodically check the air pressure gaugewhile driving. Pressure should rangebetween approximately 100 psi (690 kPa)to 130 psi (896 kPa). The air compressorgovernor cut-in and cutout pressuresettings are set at the factory and cannotbe adjusted.
When air pressure is insufficient(below 60 psi (414 kPa)), awarning light illuminates and abuzzer sounds when the ignition is on. Thismay happen because excessive brakeapplications are depleting the system airpressure. If this condition occurs, stopdriving your vehicle until the compressorhas fully recharged the air system.
Select a gear ratio to help slow your vehiclebefore descending grades. Supplementingwith brakes, as required, helps safely slowthe vehicle and avoids overspeeding theengine.
Air Chamber Stroke Indication -Drum Brakes
Air chamber push rods have orange strokeindicator markers that warn when thebraking system requires adjustment orrepair. The painted orange indicator is onthe air chamber push rod at the slackadjuster stroke dimension that requiresservice when visible during brakeapplication.

Do not use supplemental engine oiladditives because they are unnecessaryand could lead to engine damage that thevehicle warranty may not cover.
1.Clean the area surrounding the engineoil filler cap before you remove it.
2.Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3.Add engine oil that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 291).
4.Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turnit clockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
Note: Do not add oil further than themaximum mark. Oil levels above themaximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note:Immediately soak up any oil spillagewith an absorbent cloth.
Engine Oil Pressure Warning Lamp
WARNING: If it illuminates whenyou are driving do not continue yourjourney, even if the oil level is correct.Have your vehicle checked.
It illuminates when you switchthe ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engineis running this indicates a malfunction.Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so and switch the engine off. Check theengine oil level. If the oil level is sufficient,this indicates a system malfunction. Haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER
WARNING: Do not add engine oilwhen the engine is hot. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury.
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil LifeMonitor™ that calculates the proper oilchange service interval. When theinformation display indicates: OIL CHANGEREQUIRED, change the engine oil and oilfilter. See Information Displays (page71).
The engine oil filter protects your engineby filtering harmful, abrasive or sludgeparticles and particles significantly smallerthan most available will-fit filters. SeeMotorcraft Parts (page 293).
1.Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drainplug and wait for the oil to drain.
2.Replace the filter.
3.Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4.Refill the engine with new oil. SeeEngine Oil Capacity andSpecification (page 299).
5.Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™.See Information Displays (page 71).
Engine Lubrication for SevereService Operation
The following conditions define severeoperation:
•Frequent or extended idling such asover 10 minutes per hour of normaldriving.
•Low-speed operation or stationary use.
•If the vehicle is operated in sustained,ambient temperatures below -9°F(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C).
