    							Important Ventilating Information
    If you stop your vehicle and then leave the
    engine idling for long periods of time, we
    recommend that you do one of the
    following:
    •
    Open the windows at least 1 in (3 cm).
    • Set your climate control to outside air.
    STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE WARNING
    Operation of a diesel engine near
    flammable vapors in the air may
    cause the engine speed to increase
    uncontrollably and over speed. If this
    situation occurs, mechanical damage, fire,
    explosion, personal injury or death could
    result. Turning off the ignition key does not
    slow or stop the engine due to
    uncontrollable fueling of the engine
    through flammable vapors being drawn
    into the engine air inlet. Operation of
    components, for example starter,
    alternator, electric motors and static
    electricity could also ignite flammable
    vapors. Do not operate your vehicle in the
    possible presence of flammable vapors
    unless both a complete hazard analysis is
    carried out and necessary additional safety
    processes and/or equipment, for example
    vapor testing, air intake shutoff devices
    and ventilation are utilized. You are
    responsible for using those processes
    and/or equipment to make sure that the
    diesel engine and all other components on
    your vehicle can be operated safely under
    the specific conditions and hazards that
    may be encountered. Read all starting instructions carefully
    before you start your vehicle. Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow Plug
    System
    The diesel engine glow system consists of:
    •
    Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
    • Glow Plug Control Module
    • Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
    • Barometric pressure sensor
    • Environmental temperature sensor
    The powertrain and glow plug control
    modules electronically control the glow
    plug system. After you switch the ignition
    on the glow plug control module
    immediately energizes the glow plugs. The
    glow plug control module using the engine
    coolant temperature, barometric pressure
    sensor and environmental temperature
    sensor will determine how long the glow
    plugs stay energized. The required time for
    the glow plugs to be energized decreases
    as the coolant temperature, barometric
    pressure and environmental temperature
    increase.
    Before starting the engine, check the
    following:
    • Make sure all occupants have fastened
    their safety belts.
    • Make sure the headlamps and
    electrical accessories are off.
    • Make sure the parking brake is on.
    • Make sure the transmission is in park
    (P) or neutral (N).
    • Turn the ignition key to the on position.
    Note: Do not press the accelerator during
    starting.

    							Cold Weather Starting
    WARNINGS
    Do not use starting fluid, for example
    ether, in the air intake system (see
    air filter decal). Such fluid could
    cause immediate explosive damage to the
    engine and possible personal injury. Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcohol
    or Kerosene to diesel fuel. This
    practice creates a serious fire hazard
    and causes engine performance problems. We recommend using the engine block
    heater for starting when the ambient
    temperature is at or below-9°F (-23°C)
    See Engine Block Heater (page 90).
    When operating in cold weather, you can
    use Motorcraft® cetane improvers or
    non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from
    a reputable manufacturer as needed.
    Do not crank the engine for more than 10
    seconds as starter damage may occur. If
    the engine fails to start, turn the key to the
    off position and wait 30 seconds before
    trying again.
    Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold
    weather starting strategy that prevents
    severe engine damage by assisting in
    engine lubrication warm-up. In extremely
    cold ambient temperatures, this strategy
    activates and prevents the accelerator
    pedal use for 30 seconds after starting
    your vehicle. A message appears in the
    information display as your vehicle warms
    up. By not allowing the accelerator pedal
    use, the engine oil can properly lubricate
    the bearings preventing engine damage
    due to lack of proper lubrication. After the
    30-second warm-up period, the
    accelerator pedal is operational again and
    a message appears informing you that your
    vehicle is ok to drive. When starting the engine in extremely cold
    temperatures, for example 
    -15°F (-26°C),
    we recommend you allow the engine to
    idle for several minutes before driving your
    vehicle. Illuminates when you switch the
    ignition on as part of the
    pre-starting system.
    1. Turn the key to the on position without
    turning the key to the start position. Do
    not start the engine until the wait to
    start indicator turns off.
    2. When the wait to start indicator turns off, turn the key to the start position
    and release the key as soon as the
    engine starts. After starting the engine,
    the glow plugs may remain on for a
    period. If you do not start the engine
    before the glow plug activation time
    ends, you need to reset the glow plugs
    by turning the key to the off position.
    3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is to protect
    the engine. Do not increase engine
    speed until the oil pressure gauge
    indicates normal pressure.
    SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
    Allow the engine to idle for three to five
    minutes before shutting it down. The larger
    the engine, the greater the need is for this
    idling 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 engine shutdown,
    make sure your vehicle is safely off
    the road and the problem is resolved
    before returning to the road. Failure to do
    so may result in a crash, serious injury or
    death. This feature automatically shuts down the
    engine when it has been idling in park (P)
    or neutral (N) for an extended period,
    depending on the setting.
    When the engine idle shutdown process
    has started:
    •
    A chime sounds and a message
    appears in the information display
    showing a timer counting down from
    30 seconds.
    • You can reset the timer by pressing the
    brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or by
    shifting into another gear.
    • If you do not intervene within 30
    seconds, the engine shuts down and a
    message appears in the information
    display alerting you that the engine has
    shut down.
    • Shortly after the engine has shut down,
    the electrical system simulates a key
    off and even though the ignition is still
    on, the electrical system simulates a
    normal accessory delay period before
    shutting down.
    • You must switch the ignition off to
    reset the system before restarting your
    vehicle. The engine idle shutdown timer does not
    start if:
    •
    The engine is operating in battery
    charge protect or power take-off mode.
    • The exhaust emission control device is
    regenerating.
    ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
     (If
    Equipped) WARNINGS
    Failure to follow engine block heater
    instructions could result in property
    damage or serious personal injury.
    Do not use your heater with
    ungrounded electrical systems or
    two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
    of electrical shock. Note:
    The heater is most effective when
    outdoor temperatures are below 
    0°F
    (-18°C).
    The heater acts as a starting aid by
    warming the engine coolant. This allows
    the climate control system to respond
    quickly. The equipment includes a heater
    element (installed in the engine block) and
    a wire harness. You can connect the
    system to a grounded 120-volt AC
    electrical source.
    We recommend that you do the following
    for a safe and correct operation:
    • Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
    that is product certified by
    Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
    Canadian Standards Association
    (CSA). This extension cord must be
    suitable for use outdoors, in cold
    90
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Starting and Stopping the Engine 
    						
    							temperatures, and be clearly marked
    Suitable for Use with Outdoor
    Appliances. Do not use an indoor
    extension cord outdoors. This could
    result in an electric shock or become a
    fire hazard.
    • Use as short an extension cord as
    possible.
    • Do not use multiple extension cords.
    • Make sure that when in operation, the
    extension cord plug and heater cord
    plug connections are free and clear of
    water. This could cause an electric
    shock or fire.
    • Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
    clean area, clear of combustibles.
    • Make sure the heater, heater cord and
    extension cord are firmly connected.
    • Check for heat anywhere in the
    electrical hookup once the system has
    been operating for approximately 30
    minutes.
    • Make sure the system is unplugged and
    properly stowed before starting and
    driving your vehicle. Make sure the
    protective cover seals the prongs of the
    block heater cord plug when not in use.
    • Make sure the heater system is
    checked for proper operation before
    winter.
    Using the Engine Block Heater
    The engine block heater plug is on the
    right-hand side of the front bumper next
    to the recovery hook. Open the hinged,
    circular door and make sure the receptacle
    terminals are clean and dry prior to use.
    Clean them with a dry cloth if necessary. The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
    of energy per hour of use. The system does
    not have a thermostat. It achieves
    maximum temperature after
    approximately three hours of operation.
    Using the heater longer than three hours
    does not improve system performance and
    unnecessarily uses electricity.
    Rapid Heat Supplemental Heating
    System (If Equipped)
    Note: Additional aftermarket electrical
    loads operated during engine warm up may
    affect the performance of the rapid heat
    supplemental heater.
    The optional rapid heat feature is an
    electrically powered device that provides
    supplemental heat during engine warm up.
    During initial warm up, you should use a
    mid to low blower speed for maximum
    effectiveness. When operating in
    automatic mode (when equipped) the
    climate control unit determines the
    appropriate blower speed for existing
    conditions.

    							SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
    WARNINGS
    Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
    pressure in an overfilled tank may
    cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
    and fire. The fuel system may be under
    pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
    near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel
    until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
    spray out, which could cause serious
    personal injury. Fuels can cause serious injury or
    death if misused or mishandled.
    Gasoline may contain benzene,
    which is a cancer-causing agent.
    When refueling always shut the
    engine off and never allow sparks or
    open flames near the fuel tank filler
    valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone
    while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely
    hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid
    inhaling excess fumes. Flow of fuel through a fuel pump
    nozzle can produce static electricity.
    This can cause a fire if you are filling
    an ungrounded fuel container. Stop refueling after the fuel pump
    nozzle automatically shuts off for the
    second time. Failure to follow this
    will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank
    and could lead to fuel overflowing. Observe the following guidelines when
    handling automotive fuel:
    •
    Extinguish all smoking materials and
    any open flames before refueling your
    vehicle.
    • Automotive fuels can be harmful or
    fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as
    gasoline is highly toxic and if
    swallowed can cause death or
    permanent injury. If swallowed, call a
    physician immediately, even if no
    symptoms are immediately apparent.
    The toxic effects of fuel may not be
    visible for hours.
    • Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too
    much fuel vapor of any kind can lead
    to eye and respiratory tract irritation.
    In severe cases, excessive or prolonged
    breathing of fuel vapor can cause
    serious illness and permanent injury.
    • Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If
    you splash fuel in your eyes, remove
    contact lenses (if worn), flush with
    water for 15 minutes and seek medical
    attention. Failure to seek proper
    medical attention could lead to
    permanent injury.
    • Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed
    through the skin. If you splash fuel on
    your skin, clothing or both, promptly
    remove contaminated clothing and
    wash your skin thoroughly with soap
    and water. Repeated or prolonged skin
    contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes
    skin irritation.
    • Be particularly careful if you are taking
    “Antabuse ” or other forms of disulfiram
    for the treatment of alcoholism.
    Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin
    contact could cause an adverse
    reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious
    92
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							personal injury or sickness may result.
    If you splash fuel on your skin, promptly
    wash your skin thoroughly with soap
    and water. Consult a physician
    immediately if you experience an
    adverse reaction.
    Low Fuel Pressure (If Equipped)
    Diesel engine vehicles have a low fuel
    pressure detection system.
    The following are possible causes for a low
    fuel pressure warning message to appear
    in the information display:
    • Cold start or during cold operation
    below 
    32°F (0°C). If the low fuel
    pressure message appears during a
    cold start or up to 10 minutes after the
    initial cold start, monitor the
    information display. If the low fuel
    pressure message disappears and does
    not re-appear after the engine has fully
    warmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is
    what most likely caused the message.
    Do not use alcohol based additives to
    correct fuel gelling. This may result in
    damage to the fuel injectors and
    systems. Use an anti-gel additive.  See
    Capacities and Specifications (page
    269
    ).
    Note: The vehicle Warranty may be void if
    you use additives that do not meet or
    exceed Ford specifications. If the low fuel
    pressure message persistently appears after
    re-fueling and then disappears when the
    engine has fully warmed up, consider using
    different fuel sources. •
    Low fuel operation: If the low fuel
    pressure message appears when your
    vehicle is warm and during low fuel
    tank level operation (near empty),
    refuel your vehicle. If the message
    reappears after fueling, see below. If
    the message does not come back, the
    low fuel pressure condition was due to
    low fuel levels in the fuel tank.
    • Normal operation: If the low fuel
    pressure message appears during
    normal operation when the engine is
    fully warm, and fuel level is not low,
    you must change the fuel filters
    regardless of the maintenance
    schedule interval.
    • If replacement of the fuel filter does
    not remedy the low fuel pressure
    message during normal operation as
    defined above, take the vehicle to an
    authorized dealer.
    FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
    Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
    Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
    Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
    Is Required (United
    States/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.
    Virgin Islands And Other Locales)
    You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
    fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as
    number 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of
    15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. You
    may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels
    containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
    known as B20. These fuels should meet
    the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467
    B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.
    Outside of North America, use fuels
    meeting EN590 or equivalent local market
    standard.
    Note: The vehicle Warranty does not cover
    damage caused by using an improper type
    of fuel or fuel additive.
    93
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							Note:
    Do not blend used engine oil with
    diesel fuel under any circumstances.
    Blending used oil with the fuel will
    significantly increase your vehicle ’s exhaust
    emissions and reduce engine life due to
    increased internal wear. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
    (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur
    diesel fuel (greater than 500
    ppm) in your diesel engine will cause
    certain emission components to
    malfunction which may also cause the
    service engine soon light to illuminate
    indicating an emissions-related concern.
    Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
    temperature. For best results at
    temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it is
    recommended to use a diesel fuel which
    has been seasonally adjusted for the
    ambient conditions.
    Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
    Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
    Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
    Is Not Required
    For the engine to operate reliably on
    low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
    engine must be a factory built high-sulfur
    engine (available as a dealer order option
    for select markets) or an ultra low sulfur
    diesel fuel configured engine that has been
    retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
    Ford Motor Company dealer service parts.
    Failure to use retrofit components other
    than those available through your
    authorized dealer will result in coolant
    system damage, engine overheating,
    selective catalyst reduction system or
    diesel particulate filter damage and
    possible base engine damage. Use only a diesel engine configured for use
    with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
    diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
    than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
    (16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel
    (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
    designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur
    Diesel fuel may result in damage to engine
    emission control devices and the
    aftertreatment system, potentially
    rendering the vehicle inoperable.
    Vehicles with engines configured for use
    with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
    available for sale in countries where ultra
    low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
    available or mandated by the government.
    Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfur
    diesel fuel market that are subsequently
    exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel
    markets will need to be retrofitted (at the
    customer
    ’s expense using Ford authorized
    dealer service parts) in order to be reliably
    operated on non- ultra low sulfur diesel
    fuel.
    Biodiesel WARNING
    Do not mix diesel with gasoline,
    gasohol or alcohol. This could cause
    an explosion.
    Note:
    Do not use home heating oil,
    agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils, waste
    cooking greases, biodiesel fuels greater than
    20% or any diesel fuel not intended for
    highway use. Red dye is used to identify
    fuels intended for agricultural and
    non-highway use. Damage to the fuel
    injection system, engine and exhaust
    catalyst can occur if an improper fuel is
    used.
    You may operate your vehicle on diesel
    fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
    known as B20.
    94
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Fuel and Refueling  
    						
    							Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
    product from renewable fuel sources, such
    as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
    cooking greases.
    To help achieve acceptable engine
    performance and durability when using
    biodiesel in your vehicle:
    •
    Confirm the biodiesel content of the
    fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
    • Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
    that complies with industry standards
    • Follow the recommended service
    maintenance intervals.  See
    Scheduled Maintenance (page 320).
    • Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
    tank for more than 1 month
    • Consider changing brands or reducing
    biodiesel content if you have cold
    temperature fuel gelling issues or a
    frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE
    message appearing
    • Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste
    cooking greases
    Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
    than 20% may cause damage to your
    vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust
    after-treatment hardware (exhaust
    catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
    Concentrations greater than 20% can also
    cause fuel filter restrictions that may result
    in a lack of power or damage to fuel
    system components, including fuel pump
    and fuel injector failures.
    SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil is
    recommended for fuels with greater than
    5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Special
    operating conditions section under the
    Schedule Maintenance chapter for more
    information about oil change intervals and
    other maintenance when operating on
    biodiesel. Look for a label on the fuel pump to
    confirm the amount of biodiesel contained
    in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is often
    indicated with the letter B followed by the
    percent of biodiesel in the fuel. For
    example, B20 indicates a fuel containing
    20% biodiesel. Ask the service station
    attendant to confirm the biodiesel content
    of a diesel fuel if you do not see a label on
    the fuel pump.
    Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than
    diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and
    should not be stored in the fuel tank for
    more than 1 month. If you plan to park or
    store your vehicle for more than 1 month,
    then you should empty your vehicle fuel
    tank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill the
    tank with a pure petroleum-based diesel
    fuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of
    30 minutes.
    Note:
    Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
    damage fuel system seals and plastics and
    corrode steel parts.
    During cold weather, if you have problems
    operating on biodiesel, you may need to
    use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel
    content, try another brand, or discontinue
    the use of biodiesel.
    Diesel Fuel Additives
    It should not be necessary to add any
    aftermarket additives to your fuel if you
    use a high quality diesel fuel that conforms
    to ASTM industry specifications.
    Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel
    injector system or engine.
    Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an
    equivalent cetane booster additive if you
    suspect fuel has low cetane. Use
    Motorcraft® anti-gel & performance
    improver or an equivalent additive if there
    is fuel gelling.
    95
    F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							Do not use alcohol-based additives to
    improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel
    gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol
    additives may result in damage to the fuel
    injectors and system.  See Capacities and
    Specifications (page 261).
    The Vehicle Warranty may not cover
    repairs needed to correct the effects of
    using an aftermarket product that does
    not meet Ford specifications in your fuel.
    FUEL QUALITY - GASOLINE
    Choosing the Right Fuel Your vehicle is designed to operate on
    regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
    pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some
    fuel stations, particularly those in high
    altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular
    unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
    below 87. We do not recommend these
    fuels. For best overall vehicle and engine
    performance, premium fuel with an octane
    rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
    performance gained by using premium fuel
    is most noticeable in hot weather as well
    as other conditions, for example when
    towing a trailer.  See 
    Towing a Trailer
    (page 143).
    Do not use any fuel other than those
    recommended because they could lead to
    engine damage that may not be covered
    by the vehicle Warranty. Note:
    Use of any fuel other than those
    recommended can impair the emission
    control system and cause a loss of vehicle
    performance.
    Do not use:
    • Diesel fuel.
    • Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
    • Fuel containing more than 10% ethanol
    or E85 fuel.
    • Fuels containing methanol.
    • Fuels containing metallic-based
    additives, including manganese-based
    compounds.
    • Fuels containing the octane booster
    additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
    manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
    • Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel is
    prohibited by law).
    The use of fuels with metallic compounds
    such as methylcyclopentadienyl
    manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
    as MMT), which is a manganese-based
    fuel additive, will impair engine
    performance and affect the emission
    control system.
    Do not be concerned if the engine
    sometimes knocks lightly.  However, if the
    engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
    the recommended octane rating, contact
    an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
    damage.
    RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
    DIESEL
    Avoid running out of fuel. This allows air to
    enter the fuel system and may make it
    difficult to restart your vehicle.

    							If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
    •
    Normally adding 4–5 gal (15– 19 L) of
    fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
    your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
    steep grade, more than 
    5 gal (19 L)
    may be required.
    • You must purge trapped air from the
    system before restarting the engine.
    Purging Air From the System
    Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds and
    then switch the ignition off. Repeat this
    operation six times in a row to purge any
    trapped air from the fuel system.
    Any remaining air in the system self-purges
    when the engine starts. The engine may
    run rough or produce white smoke when
    air remains in the fuel system. This is
    normal and stops after a short period. If
    the engine continues to run rough, have
    your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
    Starting the Engine
    Do not crank the engine for more than 10
    seconds as starter damage may occur. If
    the engine fails to start, switch the ignition
    off and wait 30 seconds before cranking
    the engine again.  See 
    Starting a Diesel
    Engine (page 88).
    RUNNING OUT OF FUEL -
    GASOLINE
    Avoid running out of fuel because this
    situation may have an adverse effect on
    powertrain components. If you run out of fuel:
    •
    You may need to switch the ignition
    from off to on several times after
    refueling to allow the fuel system to
    pump the fuel from the tank to the
    engine. When restarting, cranking time
    takes a few seconds longer than
    normal. With keyless ignition, just start
    the engine. Crank time will be longer
    than usual.
    • Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is
    enough to restart the engine. If the
    vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
    grade, more than 
    1 gal (3.8 L) may be
    required.
    • The service engine soon indicator may
    come on.  See 
    Warning Lamps and
    Indicators (page 60).
    REFUELING - DIESEL
    An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or
    operates poorly after a fuel fill could be
    using substandard fuel. We recommend
    that you purchase diesel fuel from a
    reputable fuel station.
    Use only clean, approved containers that
    will prevent the entry of dirt or water
    whenever you store diesel fuel.
    Do not store diesel fuel in a galvanized
    container. The fuel dissolves the zinc in the
    galvanized container. The zinc will then
    remain in the fuel. If you run the
    contaminated fuel through the engine, the
    zinc damages the fuel injectors. Engine
    damage caused may not be covered by
    the vehicle Warranty.
