Warnings
WARNING: Throughout this guide,you will find warnings identified by thewarning symbol. Warnings remind youto be especially careful to reduce the riskof personal injury.
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is apressurized two-stage filtration systemand consists of:
•A frame-mounted Fuel and WaterSeparator primary filter with an electricfuel pump and water drain
•An engine-mounted secondary fuelfilter
•A fuel injector for each cylinder (8total)
•A high-pressure fuel pump
•A high-pressure fuel rail for eachcylinder bank (2 total)
•Numerous high-pressure pipes fromthe high-pressure pump to the rails,and rails to the injectors
The fuel and water separator removesboth water and impurities from the fuel.The engine-mounted filter filters finerimpurities from the diesel fuel. Theengine-mounted fuel filter and theframe-mounted fuel filter should bechanged at the recommended serviceinterval or when indicated by theinformation display LOW FUEL PRESSUREmessage. See Scheduled Maintenance(page 325).
The fuel and water separator should bedrained at regular intervals (recommendedat every oil change) or when indicated bythe information display and water in fuelindicator light. See Fuel Quality (page108).
Proper fuel filter maintenance and promptwater draining when the water in fuel lightilluminates is essential to prevent injectionequipment damage. Ignoring the water infuel light or the information displaymessage WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTERcan cause your vehicle to go into a reducedpower mode.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pumplocated inside the fuel and water separatordraws fuel from the fuel tank to providepressurized fuel to the engine. The fuelpump contains a pressure relief valve foroverpressure protection in the event ofrestricted flow.
The fuel injection system is controlledthrough the powertrain control module.
Engine Protection Mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped withengine protection and emission controlsystems. These systems monitor criticaltemperatures and pressures, and modifyengine operation accordingly. Thesemodified engine performancecharacteristics are normal.

If these modified engine performancecharacteristics persist for an extendedperiod and either the service engine soonor powertrain malfunction, reduced power,electronic throttle control light isilluminated, have the system checked byan authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reducedpower, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
It is important to change the engine oil atthe recommended service intervals orwhen indicated by the information displayto maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oiland filter change interval beyond therecommended interval can negativelyaffect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. See Engine Oil Check(page 227).
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primarycooling loop to cool the engine and asecondary cooling loop to cool thetransmission, charge air, and fuel. Thecoolant serves three primary purposes: toprovide heat transfer, freeze pointprotection, and corrosion protection usingadditives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically areused to carry heavy loads and accumulatemileage rapidly. These two factors maycause the additives in the coolant to wearout in a shorter time. You can find moreinformation about coolant additives andcoolant change intervals in the coolantchapter. See General MaintenanceInformation (page 325). Operating theengine with insufficient coolant or coolantadditive can cause severe engine damage.
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalytic reduction system designed toreduce emission levels of nitrogen oxidesfrom the exhaust of your diesel engine. Thissystem relies on the use of Diesel ExhaustFluid (DEF) that you must replenish atcertain intervals. Failure to maintain properDEF levels or if the DEF becomescontaminated will result in vehicle speedlimitations or result in your vehicle enteringan idle-only mode. See SelectiveCatalytic Reductant System (page 120).
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING: Battery posts,terminals and related accessoriescontain lead and lead compounds. Washhands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,do not go on at all or when the ignition isturned to the start position, the lightsbecome dim or go out, the batteryconnections may be loose or corroded, orthe battery may be discharged. If there isa clicking or stuttering sound coming fromthe engine compartment when you turnthe key to the start position, this may alsoindicate a loose or corroded batteryconnection.
Check the battery connections at thebattery posts, cable connection to theengine grounding point and at the starterconnection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, haveit checked and corrected.

7.Try to pull the belt out of the retractorto make sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode. You shouldnot be able to pull more belt out. If theretractor is not locked, unbuckle thebelt and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8.Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remainingslack that exists once you add the extraweight of the child to the child restraint.It also helps to achieve the propersnugness of the child restraint to yourvehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle helps to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.If the child restraint has a tether strap,attach it.
10.Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt pathand attempt to move it side to side andforward and back. There should be nomore than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with Transport Canada for referralto a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Cinch Tongue Seatbelts
WARNING: Do not place arearward facing child restraint in front ofan active airbag. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personal injuryor death.

•Height adjuster at the front outboardseating positions.
•Safety belt pretensioner at the frontoutboard seating positions.
•Safety belt warning light and chime.
FASTENING THE SEATBELTS
The front outboard and rear safetyrestraints in the vehicle are combinationlap and shoulder belts.
1.Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle (the buckle closest to thedirection the tongue is coming from)until you hear a snap and feel it latch.Make sure you securely fasten thetongue in the buckle.
2.To unfasten, press the release buttonand remove the tongue from thebuckle.
Using the Seatbelt with CinchTongue (Front Center and RearCenter Seats Only)
The cinch tongue slides up and down thebelt webbing when the belt is stowed orwhile putting seatbelts on. When the lapand shoulder seatbelt is buckled, the cinchtongue allows the lap portion to beshortened, but pinches the webbing tokeep the lap portion from getting longer.The cinch tongue is designed to slip duringa crash, so always wear the shoulder beltproperly and do not allow any slack ineither the lap or shoulder portions.
Before you can reach and latch a lap andshoulder belt having a cinch tongue intothe buckle, you may have to lengthen thelap belt portion of it.
1.To lengthen the lap belt, pull somewebbing out of the shoulder beltretractor.
2.While holding the webbing below thetongue, grasp the tip (metal portion)of the tongue so that it is parallel to thewebbing and slide the tongue upward.
3.Provide enough lap belt length so thatthe tongue can reach the buckle.
