To adjust your mirrors, make sure you switch your vehicle on (with the ignition in accessory mode or the engine running) and then: 1. Press and release the control. It lights. 2. Press the adjustment control to position the mirrors. •Press the left arrow to extend the mirrors out. Press the right arrow to retract the mirrors in. • Press the up or down arrow to fold the mirrors toward the window glass. Press the up or down arrow again to fold the mirrors out. Note: Moving the mirrors 10 or more times within one minute, or repeated folding and unfolding of the mirrors while holding the control down during full travel, may disable the system to protect the motors from overheating. Wait approximately three minutes with the vehicle running, and up to 10 minutes with the vehicle off, for the system to reset and for function to return to normal. Heated Exterior Mirrors (If Equipped) See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 147 ). Memory Mirrors (If Equipped) You can save and recall the mirror positions through the memory function. See Memory Function (page 154). Auto-dimming Feature (If Equipped) The driver exterior mirror automatically dims when the interior auto-dimming mirror turns on. Direction Indicator Mirrors (If Equipped) While the vehicle is running, the forward-facing portion of the appropriate mirror housing blinks when you switch on the direction indicator. Puddle Lamps (If Equipped) The lamps on the bottom part of the mirror housing light when you use your transmitter to unlock the doors or when you open a door.

Blind spot mirrors have an integrated convex mirror built into the upper outboard corner of the exterior mirrors. They can assist you by increasing visibility along the side of your vehicle. The blind spot mirror is only on the driver exterior mirror. Check the main mirror first before a lane change, then check the blind spot mirror. If no vehicles are present in the blind spot mirror and the traffic in the adjacent lane is at a safe distance, signal that you are going to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder to verify traffic is clear, and carefully change lanes. The image of the approaching vehicle is small and near the inboard edge of the main mirror when it is at a distance. The image becomes larger and begins to move outboard across the main mirror as the vehicle approaches (A). The image transitions from the main mirror and begins to appear in the blind spot mirror as the vehicle approaches (B). The vehicle transitions to your peripheral field of view as it leaves the blind spot mirror (C). Blind Spot Information System (If Equipped) See Blind Spot Information System (page 236). INTERIOR MIRROR WARNING Do not adjust the mirror when your vehicle is moving. Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning products. You can adjust the interior mirror to your preference. Some mirrors also have a second pivot point. This lets you move the mirror head up or down and from side to side. Pull the tab below the mirror toward you to reduce glare at night. Auto-Dimming Mirror (If Equipped) Note: Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the mirror. Mirror performance may be affected. A rear center passenger or raised rear center head restraint may also block light from reaching the sensor. 99 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Windows and MirrorsA B C E138665

GAUGES Type 1 and 2 Engine oil pressure gauge A Engine coolant temperature gauge B Fuel gauge C Transmission fluid temperature gauge D Speedometer E Information display See General Information (page 110). F Tachometer G 102 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Instrument ClusterE176090
Type 3 Engine oil pressure gauge A Engine coolant temperature gauge B Fuel gauge C Transmission fluid temperature or Turbo boost (Ecoboost engine only) gauge D Speedometer E Information display See General Information (page 110). F Tachometer G 103 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Instrument ClusterE176091
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal operating range (between L and H). If the needle falls below the normal range, stop your vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge WARNING Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot. Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will be in the normal range. If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool. Fuel Gauge Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient. Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located. The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon. After refueling some variability in needle position is normal: • It may take a short time for the needle to reach F after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. • The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. • If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle. Low Fuel Reminder A low fuel reminder triggers at 50 mi (80 km) to empty. Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge Indicates transmission fluid temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will be in the normal range. If the transmission fluid temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and verify the airflow is not restricted such as snow or debris blocking airflow through the grill. Also, higher than normal operating temperature can be caused by special operation conditions (i.e. snowplowing, towing or off-road use). Refer to Special operating conditions in the scheduled maintenance information for instructions. Operating the transmission for extended periods with the gauge in the higher than normal area may cause internal transmission damage. You need to alter the severity of your driving conditions to lower the transmission temperature into the normal range. If the gauge continues to show high temperatures, see an authorized dealer. 104 F-150 (TFC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Instrument Cluster
