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: Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

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 slope.

The fuel gauge indicates about how much fuel is 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.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel level reminder displays and sounds when the distance to empty reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for MyKey. and at 50 mi (80 km). 25 mi (40 km). 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.

Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at different fuel gauge positions depending on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

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). 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.

Turbo Boost Gauge (If Equipped)

Indicates the amount of manifold air pressure in the engine.

DEF Gauge (If Equipped)

Cold Weather Starting (Flexible Fuel Vehicles Only)

The starting characteristics of all grades of E85 ethanol make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below 0°F (-18°C). Consult your fuel distributor for the availability of winter grade ethanol.

As the outside temperature approaches freezing. ethanol fuel distributors should supply winter grade ethanol. the same as with unleaded gasoline.

If summer grade ethanol is used in cold weather conditions. 0°F (-18°C). you may experience increased cranking times. rough idle or hesitation until the engine has warmed up.

You may experience a decrease in performance when the engine is cold when operating on E85 ethanol.

Do not use starting fluid such as ether in the air intake system. Such fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.

If you should experience cold weather starting problems on E85 ethanol. and neither an alternative brand of E85 ethanol nor an engine block heater is available. the addition of unleaded gasoline to your tank improves cold starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate on E85 ethanol alone. unleaded gasoline alone. or any mixture of the two.

If your vehicle is equipped with a keyless ignition. it has a feature that automatically shuts down the engine if it has been idling for an extended period. The ignition also turns off in order to save battery power.

Before the engine shuts down. a message appears in the information display showing a timer counting down from 30 seconds.

If you do not intervene within 30 seconds. the engine shuts down. Another message appears in the information display to inform you that the engine has shut down in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as you normally do.

Cold Weather Starting

WARNING: Do not use starting fluid. for example ether. in the air intake system. Such fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.

WARNING: Do not mix diesel with gasoline. gasohol or alcohol. This could cause an explosion.

We recommend that the engine block heater be used for starting when the temperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. See Engine Block Heater (page 176).

When operating in cold weather. you may use Motorcraft cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from a reputable manufacturer as needed.

Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine until the glow-plug indicator turns off.

When the glow plug pre-heat indicator turns off. turn the key to start. After you start 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 switching the ignition off. After the engine starts. allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This protects the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure.

Cold Weather Operation

Note: Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal operating temperature. Long periods of idling. especially in cold weather. can cause a buildup of deposits which can cause engine damage.

Change to a lighter grade engine oil to make starting easier under these conditions. Refer to engine oil specifications. See Engine Block Heater (page 176).

Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperatures. Diesel fuel which has not been properly formulated for the ambient conditions may gel which can clog the fuel filters. One indication that the fuel filter(s) may be clogged is if the engine starts. stalls after a short time. and then does not restart. If you have been using biodiesel. you may need to use a fuel with lower biodiesel content. try another brand. or discontinue using biodiesel. Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This may result in damage to the fuel injectors and system. Use the proper anti-gel and performance improvement product. See Engine Block Heater (page 176).

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Your vehicle has a fuel and water separator that recirculates fuel from the engine to help prevent fuel filter clogging. To avoid engine fuel starvation during cold weather operation of 32°F (0°C) or below. we recommend that the fuel level in your tank should not drop below ¼ full. This helps prevent air from entering the fuel system and stalling the engine.

Your vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system that uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to operate properly. You need to replenish your vehicle’s DEF at certain intervals. When filling your vehicle’s DEF tank in cold weather. take special care to prevent damage to the tank. See Selective Catalytic Reductant System (page 191).

In cold weather below 32°F (0°C). the engine may slowly increase to a higher idle speed if you leave it idling in park (P). As the engine warms-up. the engine sound level decreases due to the activation of PCM-controlled sound reduction features.

If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snowstorm or blowing snow conditions. snow and ice can clog the engine air induction. If this occurs. the engine may experience a significant reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity. clear all the snow and ice away from inside the air filter assembly. Remove the air cleaner cover and the air filter and remove any snow or ice. Remove any debris. snow or ice. on the foam filter by brushing the surface with a soft brush. Once you have cleared all of the debris. reinstall the air filter and cover.

Do not use water. solvents. or a hard brush for cleaning the foam filter.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and personal burn injuries. do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.

In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower. read the following instructions: Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully charged.

Check other electrical components to make sure they are in optimum condition. Use the proper coolant solution at the concentration recommended protecting the engine against damage from freezing. Try to keep the fuel tank full as much as possible at the end of operation to prevent condensation in the fuel system. Make sure you use proper cold weather engine oil and that it is at its proper level. Also. if necessary. make sure to follow the engine oil and filter change schedule found under the Special operating conditions section listed in the scheduled maintenance information. At temperatures of -9°F (-23°C) or below. it is recommended that you use an engine block heater to improve cold engine starting. If operating in arctic temperatures of 20°F (-29°C) or lower. consult your truck dealer for information about special cold weather equipment and precautions.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Starting and Stopping the Engine

We recommend the following cold weather idling guidelines: You can use Motorcraft cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from a reputable manufacturer as needed. Maintain the engine cooling system properly. Avoid shutting the engine down after an extensive idling period. Drive your vehicle for several miles with the engine at normal operating temperatures under a moderate load. Consider using an engine block heater. For extended idle times use an approved idle speed increase device.

Winter Operating Tips for Arctic Operation -20°F (-29°C) and Below

The following information is a guideline only and is not to be the only source of possible solutions in resolving extreme cold temperature issues.

Starting Aids

WARNING: Do not use starting fluid. for example ether. in the air intake system. Such fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.

The use of the factory engine block heater assists in engine starting in extreme cold ambient temperatures See Engine Block Heater (page 176).

Idle Control

Your vehicle may have a factory option for a stationary elevated idle control through the upfitter switches in the overhead console. This allows the operator to elevate the idle RPM for extended idle periods. as well as aftermarket equipment such as PTO operation. You must configure this feature even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized dealer for required upfitting.

Operation in Snow and Rain

Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or extreme rain conditions may feed excessive amounts of snow or water into the air intake system. This could plug the air filter with snow and may cause the engine to lose power and possibly shut down.

We recommend the following actions after operating your vehicle up to 200 mi (320 km) in snowfall or extreme rain:

Snow: At the earliest opportunity. open the hood and clear all the snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do not remove the foam filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge.

Note: Removal of the foam filter degrades your vehicle performance during snow and hot weather conditions.

Extreme rain: The air filter dries after about 15–30 minutes at highway speeds. At the earliest opportunity. open the hood and reset the air filter restriction gauge.

Refer to Air filter and restriction gauge in the Maintenance chapter for more information. See Changing the Engine Air Filter (page 347).

Operation in Standing Water

Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and severe damage to the engine. If driving through water. slow down to avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls. and you suspect ingestion of water into the engine. do not try to restart the engine. Consult your dealer for service immediately.

Your fuel tank vents to the atmosphere by valves on top of the tank and through the fuel cap. If water reaches the top of the tank. the valves may pull water into the fuel tank. Water in the fuel can cause performance issues and damage the fuel injection system.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE 6.7L DIESEL

Switch the ignition off.

To help prolong engine life. we recommended you allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes. especially after any of the following: Continuous engine speed. High ambient temperature. High GVW or GCW operation. for example heavy loads or trailers.

This allows the turbo charged engine to cool down.

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN

Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set).

When the engine idle shutdown process has started:

A chime sounds and the information display will show ENGINE TURNS OFF IN 30 (seconds) and start counting down You can restart the five or 15-minute timer by changing the position of the accelerator pedal. brake pedal or the park brake within the final 30 seconds When the timer reaches zero. the engine shuts down and this message will appear in your information display ENGINE TURNED OFF One minute after the engine has shut down. the electrical system simulates key off. even though the ignition is still in the on position. initiating normal accessory delay period You must move the ignition to the off position to reset the system before restarting your vehicle.

Introduction

Note: The heater is most effective when outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).

For cold climates that are below 0°F (-18°C) needing a temporary battery installation. Order the cold climate pack.

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.

E308417

We recommend that you do the following for a safe and correct operation: Make sure your vehicle is parked in a clean area. clear of combustibles. Locate the block heater cord near the center of the lower front fascia. 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 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 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

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Fuel may contain benzene. which is a cancer-causing agent.

WARNING: 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.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel: Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before refueling your vehicle. Always turn off the vehicle before refueling.

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 fuel is 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 fuel is splashed in the 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 fuel is splashed on the skin. clothing or both. promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash 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 could cause an adverse reaction. serious personal injury or sickness. If fuel is splashed on the skin. wash the affected areas immediately with plenty of soap and water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience any adverse reactions.

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)

Note: Your warranty will not cover damage caused by using an improper type of fuel or fuel additive.

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.

We recommend Top Tier diesel fuel where available to help minimize engine deposits and maintain optimal vehicle and engine performance. For additional information. refer to www.toptiergas.com.

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.

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). we recommended using 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.

Damage to the fuel injection system. engine and exhaust catalyst. and diesel particulate filter can occur if you use an improper fuel.

Red dye is used to identify fuels intended for agricultural and non-highway use.

You may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel. also known as B20.

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 Normal Scheduled Maintenance (page 556).

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

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.

We recommend SAE 5W-40 oil for fuels with greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). For more information about oil change intervals and other maintenance when operating on biodiesel See Special Operating Conditions Scheduled Maintenance (page 562).

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.

Fuel and Refueling

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.

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 Engine Specifications (page 429).

Your warranty may not cover repairs needed to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product that does not meet Ford specifications in your fuel.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

WARNING: 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.

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on engine components.

If you have run out of fuel:

You may need to cycle 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. On restarting. cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition. just start the engine.

Crank time will be longer than usual. Normally. adding 1 gal (4 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 (4 L) may be required.

REFUELING - GASOLINE

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause severe injuries.

WARNING: Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.

WARNING: Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended when refueling your vehicle.

WARNING: Keep children away from the fuel pump. Never let children pump fuel.

WARNING: Wait at least five seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Fuel and Refueling

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle from its fully inserted position when refueling.

Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when filling an ungrounded fuel container: Place approved fuel container on the ground. Do not fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle - including the cargo area. Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. Do not use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position.

Fuel Filler Cap

WARNING: 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.

Note: If you must replace the fuel filler cap. replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if you do not use the correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap.

When fueling your vehicle:

Put your vehicle in park (P).

Switch the engine off.

Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.

Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.

To install the cap. align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the filler pipe.

Turn the filler cap clockwise until it clicks at least once.

If the Check Fuel Cap light or a Check Fuel Cap message appears in the instrument cluster and stays on after you start the engine. you may not have installed the fuel filler properly.

If the fuel cap light remains on. at the next opportunity. safely pull off of the road. remove the fuel filler cap. align the cap properly and reinstall it. The check fuel cap light or Check fuel cap message may not reset immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the indicators to turn off.

A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up. after four or more hours with the engine off. followed by normal city and highway driving.

Fueling Tips

If air is allowed to enter the fuel system the engine automatically purges any trapped air. To purge the air sooner: prior to engine start. prime the system by turning the key to on for 30 seconds then to off. Repeat this several times. The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the system. This is normal.

Use only clean. approved containers that prevent the entry of dirt or water whenever you store diesel fuel.

Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel can dissolve the zinc in the galvanized container. The zinc then remains in the fuel. If you run the contaminated fuel through the engine. the zinc can deposit in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage.

Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate

Your vehicle has a fuel fill pipe that is able to accept fuel up to 20 gal (76 L) per minute from a 1.2 in (30 mm) fuel-dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spit back.

Truck stops have pumps and nozzles designed for larger. heavy-duty trucks.

When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle shuts off repeatedly when refueling. wait 5–10 seconds; then use a slower rate of flow. do not depress the nozzle trigger as far.

Refueling

When fueling your vehicle do the following:

Fully open the fuel tank filler door and remove the fuel tank filler cap.

Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.

E139202

Insert the fuel pump nozzle up to the first notch on the nozzle A. Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel tank filler pipe opening.

E139203

Hold the fuel pump nozzle in the lower position B when refueling. Holding the fuel pump nozzle in the higher position A may affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel pump nozzle before the fuel tank is full.

E119081

When the pump shuts off. wait 5 seconds. then raise the fuel pump nozzle and slowly remove it.

Replace the fuel tank filler cap and close the fuel tank filler door.

Note: Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with incorrect fuel. Incorrect fuel use can cause damage that the vehicle warranty may not cover.

Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Dual Fuel Tanks (If Equipped)

Your vehicle may have a dual fuel tank delivery system which operates independently and automatically. The fuel pump in the front fuel tank delivers fuel to the engine. When the fuel level in the front fuel tank drops below three quarter full. fuel automatically transfers from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank. Whenever there is fuel in the rear fuel tank. the front fuel tank level remains between half and three quarter full.

Note: If your vehicle runs out of fuel. you must add fuel to the front fuel tank to restart the engine.

Introduction

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Advertised Capacity

The advertised capacity is the maximum amount of fuel that you can add to the fuel tank after running out of fuel. Included in the advertised capacity is an empty reserve. The empty reserve is an unspecified amount of fuel that remains in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty.

Note: The amount of fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range.

Fuel Economy

Your vehicle calculates fuel economy figures through the trip computer average fuel function. See General Information (page 109).

The first 1. 00 mi (1. 00 km) of driving is the break-in period of the engine. A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2.000 mi (3. 00 km).

Impacting Fuel Economy

Incorrect tire inflation pressures. Fully loading your vehicle. Carrying unnecessary weight. Adding certain accessories to your vehicle such as bug deflectors. rollbars or light bars. running boards and ski racks. Using fuel blended with alcohol. See Fuel Quality (page 179). Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures. Fuel economy may decrease when driving short distances. You may get better fuel economy when driving on flat terrain than when driving on hilly terrain.

EMISSION LAW

WARNING: Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor covering or insulation between it and the metal floor of the vehicle. The floor covering and insulation protect occupants of the vehicle from the engine and exhaust system heat and noise. On vehicles with no original equipment floor covering insulation. do not carry passengers in a manner that permits prolonged skin contact with the metal floor. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire or personal injury.

U.S. federal laws and certain state laws prohibit removing or rendering inoperative emission control system components.

Similar federal or provincial laws may apply in Canada. We do not approve of any vehicle modification without first determining applicable laws.

Tampering with emissions control systems including related sensors or the Diesel Exhaust Fluid system can result in reduced engine power and the illumination of the service engine soon light.

Tampering With a Noise Control System

Federal laws prohibit the following acts: Removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance. Repair or replacement of any device or element of the design incorporated into a new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use. The use of the vehicle after any person removes or renders inoperative any device or element of the design.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may presume to constitute tampering as follows: Removal of hood blanket. fender apron absorbers. fender apron barriers. underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material. Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor. to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer specifications.

If the engine does not start. runs rough. experiences a decrease in engine performance. experiences excess fuel consumption or produces excessive exhaust smoke. check for the following: A plugged or disconnected air inlet system hose. A plugged engine air filter element. Water in the fuel filter and water separator. A clogged fuel filter. Contaminated fuel. Air in the fuel system. due to loose connections. An open or pinched sensor hose. Incorrect engine oil level.

Noise Emissions Warranty.

Prohibited Tampering Acts and Maintenance

On January 1. 1978. Federal regulation became effective governing the noise emission on trucks over 10. 00 lb (4. 36 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The preceding statements concerning prohibited tampering acts and maintenance. and the noise warranty found in the Warranty Guide. are applicable to complete chassis cabs over 10.000 lb (4. 36 kg) GVWR.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING: Do not park. idle or drive your vehicle on dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system. creating the risk of fire.

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when working around the catalytic converter.

The catalytic converter heats up to a very high temperature after only a short period of engine operation and stays hot after the engine is switched off.

WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle. have your vehicle inspected immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

WARNING: Do not allow people or animals in truck beds that have modifications. such as bed covers or slide-in campers. when the engine is running. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

Your vehicle has various emission control components and a catalytic converter that enables it to comply with applicable exhaust emission standards.

To make sure that the catalytic converter and other emission control components continue to work properly: Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time. Do not run the engine with a spark plug lead disconnected. Do not push-start or tow-start your vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 317). Use only the specified fuel listed. Do not switch the ignition off when your vehicle is moving. Avoid running out of fuel. Have the items listed in scheduled maintenance information performed according to the specified schedule.

Note: Your vehicle warranty does not cover resulting component damage.

The scheduled maintenance items listed in scheduled maintenance information are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system.

Engine Emission Control

If you use anything other than our parts for maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting emission control. such aftermarket parts should be equivalent to our genuine parts in performance and durability.

Illumination of the service engine soon indicator. charging system warning light or the temperature warning light. fluid leaks. strange odors. smoke or loss of engine power could indicate that the emission control system is not working properly.

An improperly operating or damaged exhaust system may allow exhaust to enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or improperly operating exhaust system inspected and repaired immediately.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By law. vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures. repairs. services. sells. leases. trades vehicles. or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the engine. This decal also lists engine displacement.

Please consult your warranty information for complete details.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)

Your vehicle has a computer known as the on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that monitors the engine’s emission control system. The system protects the environment by making sure that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists a service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

When the service engine soon indicator illuminates. the OBD-II system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may cause the service engine soon indicator to illuminate. Examples are:

Your vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.

Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.

The fuel fill inlet may not have closed properly. See Running Out of Fuel (page 183).

Driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet.

You can correct these temporary malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with good quality fuel. properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present. the service engine soon indicator should stay off the next time you start the engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city and highway driving. You do not require additional vehicle service.

If the service engine soon indicator remains on. have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. Although some malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent. continued driving with the service engine soon indicator on can result in increased emissions. lower fuel economy. reduced engine and transmission smoothness and lead to more costly repairs.

Engine Emission Control

Readiness for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Testing

Some state and provincial and local governments may have Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration.

If the service engine soon indicator is on or the bulb does not work. your vehicle may need service. See On-Board Diagnostics.

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the service engine soon indicator is on or not working properly. for example. the bulb does not work. or if the OBD-II system has determined that some of the emission control systems have not been properly checked. In this case. the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.

If you have just serviced the vehicle’s engine or transmission or the battery has recently run down or you have replaced it. the OBD-II system may indicate that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M testing. turn the ignition key to the on position for 15 seconds without cranking the engine. If the service engine soon indicator blinks eight times. it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if the service engine soon indicator stays on solid. it means that your vehicle is ready for I/M testing.

The OBD-II system checks the emission control system during normal driving. A complete check may take several days.

If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. you can perform the following driving cycle consisting of mixed city and highway driving:

15 minutes of steady driving on an expressway or highway followed by 20 minutes of stop-and-go driving with at least four 30-second idle periods.

Allow your vehicle to sit for at least eight hours with the ignition off. Then. start the vehicle and complete the above driving cycle. The vehicle must warm up to its normal operating temperature. Once started. do not turn off the vehicle until the above driving cycle is complete.

If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing. you need to repeat the above driving cycle.

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTANT SYSTEM - DIESEL

Your vehicle may have a selective catalytic reduction system. The system helps reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the exhaust system. The system automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable correct selective catalytic reduction system function.

Note: Selective catalytic reduction systems are not fitted to vehicles in markets where only high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level

In order for the system to operate correctly you must maintain the diesel exhaust fluid level.

A warning message appears in the information display when the diesel exhaust fluid level is low. If a warning message appears. refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank as soon as possible. See Information Messages (page 120).

In case of contact with your eyes. flush immediately with water and get prompt medical attention. In case of contact with your skin. clean immediately with soap and water. If you swallow any diesel exhaust fluid. drink plenty of water. call a physician immediately.

WARNING: Only refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank in a well ventilated area. When you remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap or a diesel exhaust fluid container cap. ammonia vapors may escape. Ammonia vapors can be irritating to skin. eyes and mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the eyes. throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.

E308416

The diesel exhaust fluid tank has a blue filler cap. The tank is behind the left-hand front wheel. Fill the tank using a fluid pump at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or a diesel exhaust fluid container. We recommend Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid. See Capacities and Specifications (page 446).

Only use diesel exhaust fluid that is certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Non-certified diesel exhaust fluid use can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Note: Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. This can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at an authorized dealer. most highway truck stops or you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that sells diesel exhaust fluid. In addition. there is a government website to help you find the nearest location to purchase diesel exhaust fluid: http://www.discoverdef.com.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Using a Fuel Station Pump

Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using a nozzle is similar to fuel fill. The nozzle shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Do not continue to fill the tank as this could cause spilling or overflow. potentially damaging the tank.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank Using a Container

The following procedure applies to Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid or similar fluid containers. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Remove the diesel exhaust fluid container cap. Place the spout on to the container and tighten it until you feel a strong resistance.

Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank filler cap.

Insert the spout in to the filler neck until the seal on the spout seats on to the filler neck. Pour the fluid in to the tank.

When the tank is full the fluid stops flowing automatically.

Return the container to the vertical position slightly below the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid remaining in the spout to drain back in to the container.

Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the diesel exhaust fluid tank cap.

Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and replace the cap.

Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the container retain it for later use. The spout is re-useable. Wash the spout with clean water prior to storage. Do not use the diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other fluid.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in Cold Climates

Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if the ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C).

Your vehicle has a preheating system which allows diesel exhaust fluid to operate below 12°F (-11°C). If you do not use your vehicle for an extended period when the ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C). the fluid in the tank may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluid freezes it may damage the tank. This is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Warning Messages and Vehicle Operations

WARNING: Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilled when low or replaced when contaminated or your vehicle speed becomes limited to 50 mph (80 km/h). In these conditions. drive with caution and refill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. If the diesel exhaust fluid becomes empty or contaminated and fluid is not replaced. your vehicle

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Engine Emission Control

WARNING: Tampering with or disabling the selective catalytic reduction system results in severe vehicle performance limitation including eventual speed limiting to 5 mph (8 km/h).

The information display shows a series of messages about the amount of diesel exhaust fluid available. A systems check displays messages indicating the amount of diesel exhaust fluid available or displays a warning message indicating the approximate distance remaining as the fluid in the diesel exhaust fluid tank nears empty. See Information Messages (page 120).

E163176

As the diesel exhaust fluid level nears empty. the warning symbol displays and a series of tones and messages starting at 500 mi (800 km) remaining before diesel exhaust fluid is depleted. The warning symbol and messages continue until you refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank.

Continued driving without refilling results in the following actions as required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Within a preset distance to empty. speed is limited upon vehicle restart.

Prior to this occurring a message appears in the information display. Further vehicle operation without refilling the diesel exhaust fluid tank causes the engine to enter an idle-only condition. This only occurs upon vehicle refueling or at an extended idle. A message indicates the required actions to resume normal operation. It is required to add a minimum of 1.0 gal (3.8 L) of diesel exhaust fluid to the tank to exit the idle-only condition. but your vehicle is still in the speed-limiting mode until you refill the tank completely.

Note: For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only condition. normal vehicle operation resumes when you refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank.

Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank from empty. there may be a short delay before detecting the increased level of fluid.

The increased level detection must occur before your vehicle returns to full power.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelines and Information

Use only diesel exhaust fluid that carries the American Petroleum Institute (API) certified diesel exhaust fluid trademark or ISO 22241. Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the diesel fuel tank. Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid tank. Diesel exhaust fluid is corrosive. Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid container once it is emptied.

Engine Emission Control

Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on painted surfaces. carpeting or plastic components. Immediately wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled with a damp cloth and water. If it has already crystallized. use warm water and a sponge. Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between 23°F (-5°C) and 68°F (20°C). Diesel exhaust fluid freezes below 12°F (-11°C). Do not store the diesel exhaust fluid bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it could cause damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside your vehicle. Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable. non-toxic. colorless and water-soluble liquid. The system has a diesel exhaust fluid quality sensor. Dilution of diesel exhaust fluid or use of any other liquid in the SCR system leads to a diesel exhaust fluid system fault. eventually leading to the vehicle only operating in idle-only mode. Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with water or any other liquid. An ammonia odor may be smelled when the cap is removed or during refill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a well ventilated area.

Typical Diesel Exhaust Fluid Usage When Using the Power Take Off (PTO)

Continuous PTO use—Minimal PTO use

0–7. 00 mi (0–12. 50 km)

Contaminated Diesel Exhaust Fluid or Inoperative Selective Catalytic Reduction System

Selective catalytic reduction systems are sensitive to contamination of the diesel exhaust fluid. Maintaining the purity of the fluid is important to avoid system malfunctions. If you remove or drain the diesel exhaust fluid tank. do not use the same fluid to refill the tank. The system has a sensor to monitor fluid quality.

E163176

A warning lamp illuminates and a message appears in the information display if the system becomes contaminated or inoperative.

Continued driving without replacing diesel exhaust fluid or having the selective catalytic reduction system repaired results in the following actions as required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Within a preset distance to empty. speed is limited upon vehicle restart.

Prior to this occurring a message appears in the information display. Further vehicle operation without replacing contaminated diesel exhaust fluid causes the engine to enter an idle-only condition. This only occurs upon vehicle refueling. vehicle idling in park for 1 hour. or engine shutdown for 10 minutes or more and is indicated by a message in the information display indicating required actions to resume normal operation.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

The filter forms part of the emissions reduction system on your vehicle. It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.

Regeneration

WARNING: Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves. dry grass or other combustible materials. The regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after regeneration and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

Note: Avoid running out of fuel.

Note: During regeneration at low speed or engine idle. you may smell a hot metallic odor and could notice a clicking metallic sound. This is due to high temperatures reached during regeneration and is normal.

Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust sound may be heard during the regeneration process.

The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle requires periodic regeneration to maintain its correct function. Your vehicle will carry out this process automatically.

If your journeys meet one of the following conditions: You drive only short distances. You frequently switch the ignition on and off. Your journeys contain a high level of acceleration and deceleration.

You must carry out occasional trips with the following conditions to assist the regeneration process: Drive your vehicle in more favorable conditions. which you will find at higher vehicle speeds in normal driving. on a main road or freeway for a minimum of 20 minutes. This drive may include short stops that will not affect the regeneration process. Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions. Do not switch the ignition off. Select a suitable gear to ideally maintain engine speed between 1500 and 3000 RPM.

Oxidation Catalytic Converter and Diesel Particulate Filter System (If

Equipped)

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when working around the diesel oxidation catalytic converter or the diesel particulate filter. The diesel oxidation catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter heat up to very high temperatures after only a short period of engine operation and remain hot after you switch the engine off.

Environment

Your vehicle has a diesel particulate filter.

The diesel particulate filter is an inline filter in the exhaust system that reduces carbon emissions by trapping exhaust particles before they reach the tailpipe. The diesel particulate filter looks similar to a traditional exhaust catalyst and is part of the exhaust system under your vehicle. The filter couples to a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces the amount of harmful exhaust emitted from the tailpipe. As soot gathers in the system. it begins to restrict the filter. The system must periodically clean the soot that gathers inside the filter.

This is carried out in two ways. passive regeneration and active regeneration. Both methods occur automatically and require no actions from the driver. During either one of these regeneration methods. you may notice a change in exhaust tone. At certain times. the information display shows various messages related to the diesel particulate filter. See Information Messages (page 120).

Diesel Particulate Filter Maintenance

You must properly maintain your vehicle's diesel particulate filter in order for it to function properly.

Do not disregard maintenance messages that appear in the information display.

Failure to follow the instructions of an information message may degrade vehicle performance and could lead to engine damage that may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Failure to perform active or operator commanded regeneration when instructed could result in a clogged diesel particulate filter. If the diesel particulate filter fills beyond the regeneration threshold. your vehicle disables the ability for active and operator commanded regeneration. This could result in irreversible damage to the diesel particulate filter requiring replacement that may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Passive Regeneration

In passive regeneration. the exhaust system temperature and constituents automatically clean the filter by oxidizing the soot. Cleaning automatically occurs during normal vehicle operating conditions due to driving patterns.

Active Regeneration

Once the diesel particulate filter is full of exhaust particles. the engine control module commands the exhaust system to clean the filter through active regeneration.

Active regeneration requires the engine computer to raise the exhaust temperature to eliminate the particles. During cleaning. the particles convert to harmless gasses.

Once cleaned the diesel particulate filter continues trapping exhaust particles.

The regeneration process operates more efficiently when you drive your vehicle at a constant speed above 30 mph (48 km/h) and at a steady engine speed for approximately 20 minutes. The frequency and duration of regeneration fluctuates by how you drive your vehicle. outside air temperature and altitude. For most driving. regeneration frequency varies from 100–500 mi (160–805 km) between occurrences and each occurrence lasts 9–35 minutes. You can usually reduce the duration of regeneration if you maintain a constant speed above 30 mph (48 km/h).

When the engine control module detects that the diesel particulate filter is nearly full of particulates and you are not operating your vehicle in a manner to allow effective automatic regeneration. messages appear in the information display as a reminder for you to drive your vehicle in order to clean the diesel particulate filter. If you drive your vehicle in a manner to allow effective automatic regeneration. the information display

Engine Emission Control

If you are not able to drive in a manner that allows effective automatic active regeneration or you choose to perform regeneration of the diesel particulate filter while at idle. then operator commanded regeneration would need to be performed.

Operator Commanded Regeneration (If Equipped)

If your vehicle is operated with significant stationary operation. low speed drive cycles less than 25 mph (40 km/h). short drive cycles. a drive time is less than 10 15 minutes or the vehicle does not fully warm up. passive and active regeneration may not sufficiently clean the diesel particulate filter system. Operator commanded regeneration allows you to manually start regeneration of the diesel particulate filter at idle to clean the filter.

If you are not sure whether your vehicle has this feature. contact an authorized dealer.

When to Carry Out Operator Commanded Regeneration

You can use the operator commanded regeneration feature when a message appears in the information display and you are not able to drive in a manner that allows effective automatic active regeneration or if you choose to manually start the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter manually while the vehicle is idle. See Information Messages (page 120).

Operator Commanded Regeneration Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position

WARNING: Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves. dry grass or other combustible materials. The regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after regeneration and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

WARNING: Stay clear of the exhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hot exhaust gases can burn you badly.

Make sure that the louvers located at the tip of the exhaust are clear of any obstructions as they are used to introduce fresh air into the tailpipe to cool the exhaust gases as they leave the exhaust system.

Before you start operator commanded regeneration. do the following: Shift into park (P) and apply the parking brake. on stable. level ground. Park your vehicle outside of any structure. Park your vehicle 10–15 ft (3–5 m) away from any obstructions and away from materials that can easily combust or melt. for example paper. leaves. petroleum products. fuels. plastics and other dry organic material. Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8 tank of fuel. Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.

How to Start Operator Commanded Regeneration

WARNING: Stay clear of the exhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hot exhaust gases can burn you badly.

Note: You cannot use the operator commanded regeneration until the diesel particulate filter load percentage has reached 100%. The diesel particulate filter load percentage fluctuates up and down when driving your vehicle due to active and passive regenerations.

Note: During the use of operator commanded regeneration. you may observe a light amount of white smoke. This is normal.

You may not be able to use operator commanded regeneration if the service engine soon warning lamp appears in the information display

Information Display Procedure

Start with your vehicle engine and when it has reached the normal operating temperature. press the information display control button on the steering wheel. See Information Display Control (page 81).

If a message advising that the exhaust filter is full appears in the information display. press the OK button as instructed.

Answer yes to this prompt and then follow the next prompts regarding the exhaust position required to initiate operator commanded regeneration. Be sure to understand each prompt. If you are not sure what is being asked by each prompt. contact an authorized dealer. The display confirms the operation has started and when it has finished.

If the diesel particulate filter is near or at saturation. a message requesting permission to initiate filter cleaning appears in the information display. See Information Messages (page 120).

Answer yes to this prompt and then follow the next prompts regarding exhaust position required to initiate operator commanded regeneration. Be sure to understand each prompt. If you are not sure what is being asked by each prompt. contact an authorized dealer. The display confirms the operation has started and when it has finished. You can also drive to clean the filter.

When the system is at the point of oversaturation. the service engine warning lamp illuminates and a message appears in the information display. You cannot initiate filter cleaning.

You must have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Once operator commanded regeneration starts. engine speed increases to approximately 1600 rpm and the cooling fan speed increases. You will hear a change in audible sound due to engine speed and cooling fan speed increases.

It is not necessary to open the hood on the engine compartment. Once operator commanded regeneration completes. the engine speed returns to normal idling. The exhaust system remains very hot for several minutes even after regeneration is complete. Do not reposition the vehicle over materials that could burn until the exhaust system has had sufficient time to cool. Depending on the amount of soot collected by the diesel particulate filter. ambient temperature and altitude. operator commanded regeneration lasts approximately 30 minutes.

Engine Emission Control

Operator Commanded Regeneration with Automatic Regeneration Control (If Equipped)

If your vehicle is operated with significant stationary operation. low speed drive cycles less than 25 mph (40 km/h). short drive cycles. drive time less than 15 minutes or the vehicle does not fully warm up. passive and active regeneration may not sufficiently clean the diesel particulate filter system. You can switch off automatic regeneration until better driving conditions are available. for example steady high speed driving. You can then switch automatic regeneration back on to clean the diesel particulate filter.

Switching Automatic Regeneration Control On and Off

To switch operator commanded regeneration on and off. use the information display control on the steering wheel. See Information Display Control (page 81). Scroll to the exhaust cleaning message. a check in the box indicates the feature is enabled. and unchecked indicates the feature is disabled.

How to Interrupt or Cancel Operator Commanded Regeneration

If you need to cancel the operator commanded regeneration. pressing the brake. accelerator or switching the engine off stops the procedure. Depending on the amount of time you allowed the operator commanded regeneration to operate. soot may not have had sufficient time to be fully eliminated. but the exhaust system and exhaust gas may still be hot. If you shut your vehicle off during operator commanded regeneration. you may notice turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence caused by shutting off a diesel engine during boosted operation and is considered normal.

Filter Service and Maintenance

Over time. a slight amount of ash builds up in the diesel particulate filter. which is not removed during the regeneration process. The filter may need to be replaced with a new or remanufactured part at approximately 250. 00 mi (400. 00 km).

Actual mileage varies depending on engine and vehicle operating conditions.

If filter service is required. the engine control system warning lamp illuminates in the information display.

If there are any issues with the diesel particulate filter system. the engine control system warning lamp and a service engine soon warning lamp illuminate to inform you that your vehicle requires service. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Resonator and Tailpipe Assembly Maintenance

Aftermarket devices or modifications to the exhaust system may reduce the effectiveness of the exhaust system as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. This may also degrade vehicle performance and could lead to engine damage that may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Automatic Transmission Adaptive Learning

This feature's design is to increase durability and provide consistent shift feel over the life of your vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission may have firm shifts. soft shifts or both. This operation is normal and does not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time. the adaptive learning process fully updates transmission operation. Additionally. whenever you disconnect the battery or install a new battery. the system must relearn the strategy.

For F350. F450. F550 and F600 Chassis Cab Vehicles

Your transmission could reduce the load on the engine when the vehicle stops. and the gear selector is in drive (D) to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The transmission resumes operation when you release the brake. This feature activates when the transmission is sufficiently warmed. and the vehicle is on a level slope.

Brake-Shift Interlock

WARNING: When doing this procedure. you need to take the transmission out of park (P) which means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement. always fully apply the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheels chocks if appropriate.

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released. but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated. the brakes may not be working properly. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brake lamps are working.

Your vehicle comes with brake-shift interlock that prevents the gearshift lever from moving from park (P) when you switch the ignition on but have not pressed the brake pedal.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of the park (P) position when the ignition is on and the brake pedal pressed. a malfunction could have occurred. It is possible that a fuse has blown. or your vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly. See Fuse Specification Chart (page 329).

If you do not have a blown fuse and the brake lamps are working properly. the following procedure allows you to move the gearshift lever from park (P):

Apply the parking brake. Switch the ignition key to 1 - 0. then remove the key. See Starting and Stopping the Engine (page 168).

Move the steering column to the full down and full rearward position. toward the driver seat.

Remove the gearshift lever boot.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow

If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow. you can rock it out by shifting between forward and reverse gears. stopping between shifts in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission could occur.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the transmission and tires could occur. or the engine could overheat.

POWER TAKE-OFF (IF EQUIPPED)

Note: Use of auxiliary equipment that exceeds the maximum Power Take-Off (PTO) load specified in our Truck Body Builders Layout Book can adversely affect the performance of the powertrain system.

Refer to the Body Builders Layout Book for instructions about the appropriate installation of additional equipment.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Transmission

Auxiliary equipment called power take-off. or PTO. is often added to the engine or transmission to operate utility equipment.

Examples include a wheel-lift for tow trucks. cranes. tools for construction or tire service. and pumping fluids. PTO applications draw auxiliary horsepower from the powertrain. often while the vehicle is stationary. In this condition. there is limited cooling air flow through the radiator and around the vehicle that normally occurs when a vehicle is moving.

The aftermarket PTO system installer. having the most knowledge of the final application. is responsible for determining whether additional chassis heat protection or powertrain cooling is required. and alerting the user to the safe and proper operation.

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Note: For important information regarding the safe operation of this type of vehicle. see General Information in the Wheels and Tires chapter.

Note: Do not use 4H or 4L mode on dry. hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce excessive noise. increase tire wear and may damage drive components. 4X4 mode is only intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces. Use of 4L mode on these surfaces may produce some noise. such as occasional clunks. but will not damage drive components.

Note: If 4X4 low is selected while the vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h). the 4WD system will not perform a shift.

This is normal and should be no reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4X4 Low) for proper operation.

Note: You can switch on and switch off the electronic locking differential by pulling the WD control (4WD vehicles) or turning the electronic locking differential control (2WD vehicles). See Electronic Locking Differential (page 215).

Operating 4WD Vehicles with Spare or Mismatched Tires

On four-wheel drive vehicles. the size of the spare tire can affect the 4X4 system.

If there is a significant difference between the size of the spare tire and the remaining tires. you may have limited four-wheel drive functionality.

When driving with the full-size. dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly. we recommend that you do not:

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) with a 4WD mode turned on. Turn on a 4WD mode unless the vehicle is stationary. Use a 4WD mode on dry pavement.

When driving with the full-size. dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly. you may have limited 4WD functionality. especially when driving in a mechanically locked 4WD mode. You may experience the following:

Additional noise from the transfer case or other drive components. Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically locked 4WD mode.

Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly may lead to impairment of the following:

Comfort and noise. Winter weather driving capability. Wet driving capability. Four-wheel drive capability.

Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

How Your Vehicle Differs from Other Vehicles

WARNING: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity (utility and four-wheel drive vehicles) handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity (passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns. excessive speed and abrupt steering in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously increases the risk of losing control of your vehicle. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain without getting hung up or damaging underbody components.

The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle differently than an ordinary passenger car.

Maintain steering wheel control at all times. especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion. make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes.

Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.

You should either know the terrain or examine maps of the area before driving.

Map out your route before driving in the area. To maintain steering and braking control of your vehicle. you must have all four wheels on the ground and they must be rolling. not sliding or spinning.

Driving Off-Road With Truck and Utility Vehicles

Note: On some models. the initial shift from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive while the vehicle is moving can cause some momentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.

This is the front drivetrain coming up to speed and the automatic locking hubs engaging and is not cause for concern.

Note: Your vehicle may come with a front air dam that can become damaged (due to reduced ground clearance) when taking your vehicle off-road. This air dam can be taken off by removing 15 bolts.

Four-wheel drive vehicles are specially equipped for driving on sand. snow. mud and rough terrain and have operating characteristics that are somewhat different from conventional vehicles. both on and off the road.

Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case. On four-wheel drive vehicles. the transfer case allows you to select 4WD when necessary.

Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in this chapter. Information on transfer case maintenance can be found in the Maintenance chapter. You should become thoroughly familiar with this information before you operate your vehicle.

Four-wheel drive (when you select a 4WD mode) uses all four wheels to power the vehicle. This increases traction. enabling you to drive over terrain and road conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

Basic Operating Principles

Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering characteristics of your vehicle. When driving your vehicle on surfaces made slippery by loose sand. water. gravel. snow or ice proceed with care. Do not use 4H or 4L on dry. hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce excessive noise. increase tire wear and may damage drive components. 4H or L modes are only intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces.

If Your Vehicle Leaves the Road

If your vehicle leaves the road. reduce your vehicle speed and avoid severe braking.

When your vehicle speed has been reduced. ease your vehicle back onto the road. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply while returning your vehicle to the road.

It may be safer to stay on the shoulder of the road and slow down gradually before returning to the road. You may lose control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too sharply or abruptly.

It may be less risky to strike small objects. such as freeway reflectors. with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a sudden return to the road which could cause your vehicle to slide sideways out of control or roll over. Remember. your safety and the safety of others should be your primary concern.

Emergency Maneuvers

In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made. remember to avoid over-driving your vehicle (i.e. turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency). Excessive steering can result in loss of vehicle control. Apply smooth pressure to the accelerator pedal or brake

In the event of an emergency stop. avoid skidding the tires and do not attempt any sharp steering wheel movements.

If your vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (i.e. from concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way your vehicle responds to a maneuver (i.e. steering. acceleration or braking).

Sand

When driving over sand. try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of the trail.

Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid excessive wheel slip.

When driving at slow speeds in deep sand under high outside temperatures. use a low gear when possible. Low gear operation will maximize the engine and transmission cooling capability.

Avoid driving at excessive speeds. this causes vehicle momentum to work against you and your vehicle could become stuck to the point that assistance may be required from another vehicle. Remember. you may be able to back out the way you came if you proceed with caution.

Mud and Water

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction when you are driving in mud. Even four-wheel drive vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. If your vehicle does slide. steer in the direction of the slide until you regain control of your vehicle.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

After driving through mud. clean off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.

Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts can cause an imbalance that could damage drive components.

Water

If you must drive through high water. drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may be limited.

When driving through water. determine the depth and avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs. If the ignition system gets wet. your vehicle may stall.

Once through water. always try the brakes.

Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by applying light pressure to the brake pedal while moving slowly.

Note: Driving through deep water may damage the transmission. If the front or rear axle is submerged in water. the axle lubricant and power transfer unit lubricant should be checked and changed if necessary.

Driving on Hilly or Sloping Terrain

Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up or down a hill or steep incline. you should always try to drive straight up or straight down.

Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills. A danger lies in losing traction. slipping sideways and possible vehicle roll over.

Whenever driving on a hill. determine beforehand the route you will use. Do not drive over the crest of a hill without seeing what conditions are on the other side. Do not drive in reverse over a hill without the aid of an observer.

When climbing a steep slope or hill. start in a lower gear rather than downshifting to a lower gear from a higher gear once the ascent has started. This reduces strain on the engine and the possibility of stalling.

If your vehicle stalls. do not try to turn around because this could cause vehicle roll over. It is better to reverse back to a safe location.

Apply just enough power to the wheels to climb the hill. Too much power will cause the tires to slip. spin or lose traction. resulting in loss of vehicle control.

E143949

Descend a hill in the same gear you would use to climb up the hill to avoid excessive brake application and brake overheating.

Do not descend in neutral. Disengage overdrive or move the transmission selector lever to a lower gear. When descending a steep hill. avoid sudden hard braking as you could lose control. The front wheels have to be turning in order to steer your vehicle.

If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes. apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump the brakes.

Driving on Snow and Ice

WARNING: If you are driving in slippery conditions that require tire chains or cables. then it is critical that you drive cautiously. Keep speeds down. allow for longer stopping distances and avoid aggressive steering to reduce the

Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

Note: Excessive tire slippage can cause transmission damage.

Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantages over two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any other vehicle.

Should you start to slide while driving on snowy or icy roads. turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and quick changes of direction on snow and ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and steadily when starting from a full stop.

Avoid sudden braking. Although a four-wheel drive vehicle may accelerate better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in snow and ice. it will not stop any faster as braking occurs at all four wheels. Do not become overconfident as to road conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance between you and other vehicles for stopping. Drive slower than usual and consider using one of the lower gears. In emergency stopping situations. apply the brake steadily. Do not pump the brake pedal. See Hints on Driving With Anti-Lock Brakes (page 219).

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow

WARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow. it may be rocked out by shifting between forward and reverse gears. stopping between shifts in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature. damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than a minute. damage to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may overheat.

Parking

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released. but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated. the brakes may not be working properly. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

WARNING: Apply the parking brake. shift into park (P). switch the ignition off and remove the key before you leave your vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

On some four-wheel drive vehicles. when the transfer case is in the neutral (N) position. the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of the driveline.

Therefore. the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in park (P) or the manual transmission is in gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the neutral (N) position.

Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.

Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been designed and tested to provide predictable performance whether loaded or empty. For this reason. we strongly recommend that you do not make modifications such as adding or removing parts (i.e. lift kits or stabilizer bars) or by using replacement parts not equivalent to the original factory equipment.

We recommend that you use caution when your vehicle has either a high load or device (i.e. ladder or luggage racks). Any modifications to your vehicle that raise the center of gravity may cause your vehicle to roll over when there is a loss of vehicle control.

Failure to maintain your vehicle correctly may void the warranty. increase your repair cost. reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities and adversely affect you and your passenger's safety. We recommend you frequently inspect your vehicle's chassis components when your vehicle is subject to off road usage.

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

(IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces. particularly when one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions. the limited-slip axle functions like a standard rear axle. The axle may exhibit a slight noise or vibration during tight turns with low vehicle speed.

This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working.

ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)

Note: The electronic locking differential is for off-road use only and is not for use on dry pavement. Using the electronic locking differential on dry pavement will result in increased tire wear. noise and vibration.

The electronic locking differential is a device housed in the rear axle that allows both rear wheels to turn at the same speed. The electronic locking differential can provide additional traction should your vehicle become stuck. You can activate the differential electronically and shift it on the fly within the differential operating speed range. The differential is for use in mud. rocks. sand. or any off-road condition where you need maximum traction. It is not for use on dry pavement.

The following conditions will affect the electronic locking differential:

The electronic locking differential will not engage if your vehicle speed is above 20 mph (32 km/h) in 4x2. or 4x4 High modes. The electronic locking differential will not engage if your vehicle speed is above or 56 mph (90 km/h) in 4X4 Low.

The electronic locking differential may not engage if you press your accelerator pedal during an engagement attempt. A message may display in the instrument display guiding you to release the accelerator pedal. In 4x2. and 4x4 High modes. the electronic locking differential will automatically disengage at speeds above 25 mph (41 km/h) and will automatically reengage at speeds below 20 mph (32 km/h). In 4L (4X4 low). the electronic locking differential will automatically disengage at speeds above 62 mph (100 km/h) and will automatically reengage at speeds below 56 mph (90 km/h). The AdvanceTrac system has the ability to take over control of the electronic locking differential and disable it during driving maneuvers when necessary.

When you switch the system on. if you do not meet the required conditions for electronic locking differential activation. the instrument cluster will display the appropriate information guiding you through the proper activation process.

Activating the Electronic Locking Differential

Note: Do not use electronic locking differential on dry. hard surfaced roads.

Doing so will produce excessive noise. vibration and increase tire wear.

Note: If the electronic locking differential has difficulty disengaging. release the accelerator pedal and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction while rolling.

Once the indicator light illuminates in the information display. both rear wheel axle shafts will be locked together providing added traction.

If the indicator does not come on. or the indicator turns off while driving. one of the following has occurred:

The vehicle speed is too high. The left and right rear wheel speed difference is too high during an engagement attempt.

The system has malfunctioned and is accompanied by a message in the information display. See your authorized Ford dealer for assistance. The vehicle is experiencing an anti-lock brake activation.

Operating ELD With a Spare or Mismatched Tires

On vehicles with an ELD. the size of the spare tire can affect performance of the system. If there is a significant difference between the two rear tires. you may have limited ELD functionality. If the electronic locking differential has difficulty disengaging. release the accelerator pedal and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction when rolling. We recommend engaging and disengaging the ELD at a stop when you mount a spare on the rear axle.

At a Glance

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal. continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is present. the brake linings may be worn-out. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If your vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking. have it checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the wheels. even under normal driving conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the brakes wear and does not contribute to brake noise.

Wet brakes result in reduced braking efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a few times when driving from a car wash or standing water to dry the brakes.

Brake Over Accelerator

In the event the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped. apply steady and firm pressure to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.

If you experience this condition. apply the brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Shift the transmission to park (P). switch the engine off and apply the parking brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for any interference. If none are found and the condition persists. have your vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer.

Brake Assist

Brake assist detects when you brake rapidly by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It provides maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. and can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.

Anti-lock Brake System

This system helps you maintain steering control during emergency stops by keeping the brakes from locking.

This lamp momentarily illuminates when you switch the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up. remains on or flashes. the system may be disabled. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the anti-lock brake system is disabled. normal braking is still effective.

See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 104).

Note: Indicators vary depending on region.

E270480

If the lamp remains illuminated after you release the parking brake. have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

It also illuminates momentarily when you switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on. or begins to flash at any time. have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: You can shift the transmission to lower gears with progressive range selection (PRS) or manual shifting independent of pressing the brakes.

Note: You can also use manual engine braking with cruise control to improve grade descent control.

Note: If your vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control. the speed control system uses the selected engine brake mode. transmission gears. and brakes to maintain the set speed and distance to the vehicle being followed.

Automatic Engine Braking

Press the button twice to switch on automatic engine braking.

Release the accelerator or brake pedal.

The system remembers your vehicle speed.

Note: This feature offers smoother. less aggressive engine braking during downhill descents. It may not apply braking if the vehicle speed is not increasing. although it will apply full engine braking force when needed to prevent acceleration. The system automatically activates the engine brake and. if necessary. downshifts the transmission to lower gears to not exceed your vehicle's set speed when the brake or accelerator were last released.

Warning Lamp Conditions

Illuminates when this feature is switched on and the system is operating properly. See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 104). Flashes when the engine brake is disabled due to a fault or the engine does not meet the required braking conditions. Does not illuminate when the switch or indicator is faulty.

You can switch the system on at anytime.

The system becomes active once the braking conditions are met.

Braking Conditions

Your vehicle is in a forward gear. The engine speed is above about 1500 RPM. Your foot is off the accelerator.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Brakes

You can use this feature with tow/haul or progressive range selection to provide further increased engine braking. The transmission automatically upshifts to prevent the engine from entering the red zone on the tachometer. See Automatic Transmission (page 201).

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

The anti-lock braking system does not eliminate the risks when: You drive too closely to the vehicle in front of you. Your vehicle is hydroplaning. You take corners too fast. The road surface is poor.

Note: If the system activates. the brake pedal may pulse and may travel further.

Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal.

PARKING BRAKE

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the transmission is placed in park (P). Failure to set the parking brake and engage park could result in vehicle roll-away. property damage or bodily injury. Turn the ignition to the lock position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

Apply the parking brake whenever your vehicle is parked. Press the pedal downward to set the parking brake. The brake warning lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate and remains illuminated until the parking brake is released.

To release. pull the brake release lever located at the lower left side of the instrument panel.

If you are parking your vehicle on a grade or with a trailer. press and hold the brake pedal down. then set the parking brake.

There may be a little vehicle movement as the parking brake sets to hold the vehicle's weight. This is normal and should be no reason for concern. If needed. press and hold the service brake pedal down. then try reapplying the parking brake. Chock the wheels if required. If the parking brake cannot hold the weight of the vehicle. the parking brake may need to be serviced or the vehicle may be overloaded.

HILL START ASSIST

WARNING: The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle. always apply the parking brake.

WARNING: You must remain in your vehicle when the system turns on.

At all times. you are responsible for controlling your vehicle. supervising the system and intervening. if required.

Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system will turn off if a malfunction is apparent or if you rev the engine excessively. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.

The system makes it easier to pull away when your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Brakes

When the system is active. your vehicle remains stationary on the slope for two to three seconds after you release the brake pedal. This allows time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal.

The system releases the brakes automatically once the engine has developed sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope. for example from a car park ramp. traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space.

The system activates on any slope that causes your vehicle to roll.

Note: There is no warning light to indicate the system is either on or off.

Using Hill Start Assist

Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed and shift into first gear when facing uphill or reverse (R) when facing downhill.

If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope. the system activates automatically.

When you remove your foot from the brake pedal. your vehicle remains on the slope without rolling away for about two to three seconds. This hold time automatically extends if you are in the process of driving off.

Drive off in the normal manner. The system releases the brakes automatically.

Note: When you remove your foot from the brake pedal and press the pedal again when the system is active. you will experience significantly reduced brake pedal travel. This is normal.

Switching the System On and Off

Vehicles with Manual Transmission

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction.

If your vehicle begins to slide. the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and. when needed. reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces. the system reduces engine power in order to increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

WARNING: The stability and traction control light illuminates steadily if the system detects a failure. Make sure you did not manually disable the traction control system using the information display controls or the switch. If the stability control and traction control light is still illuminating steadily. have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with the traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.

The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.

If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow. switching traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.

Note: When you switch traction control off. stability control remains fully active.

Note: For additional information on the traction and stability control systems. See Using Stability Control (page 223).

Switching the System Off

When you switch the system off or on. a message appears in the information display showing system status.

Use the traction and stability control switch on the instrument panel to switch the system off or on.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Vehicle modifications involving braking system. aftermarket roof racks. suspension. steering system. tire construction and wheel and tire size may change the handling characteristics of your vehicle and may adversely affect the performance of the electronic stability control system. In addition. installing any stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the electronic stability control system. Install any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from the front center console. the tunnel. and the front seats in order to minimize the risk of interfering with the electronic stability control sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the electronic stability control system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death.

WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.

Activation of the electronic stability control system is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control. vehicle rollover. personal injury and death. If your electronic stability control system activates. SLOW DOWN.

The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.

If a fault occurs in either the stability control or the traction control system. you may experience the following conditions:

The stability and traction control light illuminates steadily. The stability control and traction control systems do not enhance your vehicle's ability to maintain traction of the wheels. The Adaptive Steering system (if equipped) automatically changes the steering function to a fixed steering ratio. See Steering (page 256).

If a driving condition activates either the stability control or the traction control system you may experience the following conditions:

The stability and traction control light flashes. Your vehicle slows down. Reduced engine power. A vibration in the brake pedal. The brake pedal is stiffer than usual. If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake. the brake pedal may move as the system applies higher brake force.

The stability control system has several features built into it to help you maintain control of your vehicle:

Electronic Stability Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying brakes to one or more of the wheels individually and. if necessary. reducing engine power.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury. always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system.

WARNING: The system may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb reflection. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash.

WARNING: Traffic control systems. inclement weather. air brakes. external motors and fans may affect the correct operation of the sensing system.This may cause reduced performance or false alerts.

WARNING: The system may not detect small or moving objects. particularly those close to the ground.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed around the bumper or fascia may create false beeps. For example. large trailer hitches. bike or surfboard racks. license plate brackets. bumper covers or any other device that may block the normal detection zone of the system.

Note: Keep the sensors. located on the bumper or fascia. free from snow. ice and large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered. the system’s accuracy can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the bumper or fascia. leaving it misaligned or bent. the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms. See your authorized technician.

Note: When a trailer is connected to your vehicle. the rear parking aid may detect the trailer and therefore provide warnings.

Disable the rear parking aid when a trailer is connected to prevent these warnings.

Note: The sensing system cannot be turned off when a MyKey is present. See Principle of Operation (page 60).

The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of your vehicle. The system turns on automatically whenever you switch the ignition on.

When receiving a detection warning. the radio volume reduces to a predetermined level. After the warning goes away. the radio volume returns to the previous level.

The sensing system can be switched off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse (R). See General Information (page 109).

If a fault is present in the system. a warning message appears in the information display and you cannot switch the system on through the pop-up message. See Information Messages (page 120).

REAR PARKING AID

The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle. the rate of the audible warning increases.

When the obstacle is less than 11.81 in (30 cm) away. the warning sounds continuously. If the system detects a stationary or receding object farther than 11.81 in (30 cm) from the corners of the bumper. the tone sounds for only two seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching. the warning sounds again.

The rear view camera is located on the tailgate.

Using the Rear View Camera System

The system uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: Active guidelines: Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing. Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you. Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example. a trailer).

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and the tailgate is ajar. no rear view camera features are displayed.

Note: If the image does not turn off while the transmission is not in reverse (R) and you are driving over a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h). have the system inspected by an authorized dealer.

Note: When towing. the camera only sees what is being towed behind your vehicle.

This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually provides in normal operation and some objects might not be seen. In some vehicles. the guidelines may disappear once the trailer tow connector is engaged.

The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions: Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse lamps are not operating. Mud. water or debris obstructs the camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft. lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle.

Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children

Recommended Restraint Type Child Size. Height. Weight. or Age Child

Use a child restraint (sometimes called an infant carrier. convertible seat. or toddler seat).

Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age four or younger).

Infants or toddlers

Use a belt-positioning booster seat.

Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a child restraint (generally children who are less than 57 in (1.45 m) tall. are greater than age four and less than age 12. and between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by your child restraint manufacturer).

Small children

Use a vehicle seatbelt having the lap belt snug and low across the hips. shoulder belt centered across the shoulder and chest. and seat backrest upright.

Children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a belt-positioning booster seat (generally children who are at least 57 in (1.45 m) tall or greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by child restraint manufacturer).

Larger children

You are required by law to properly use child restraints for infants and toddlers in the United States and Canada. Many states and provinces require that small children use approved booster seats until they reach age eight. a height of 57 in (1.45 m) tall. or 80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements about the safety of children in your vehicle.

When possible. always properly restrain children 12 years of age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in a front seating position. When installing a rear facing child restraint. adjust the vehicle seats to avoid interference between the child restraint and the vehicle seat in front of the child restraint.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: Do not use the blind spot information system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors or looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The blind spot information system is not a replacement for careful driving.

E227388

The Blind Spot Information System is designed to aid you in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle. extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m) beyond the bumper. The system is designed to alert you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone while driving.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Driving Aids

Note: The Blind Spot Information System does not prevent contact with other vehicles or objects; nor detect parked vehicles. people. animals or infrastructure (fences. guardrails. trees). It is only designed to alert you to moving vehicles in the blind spot zones.

Note: When a vehicle passes quickly through the blind spot zone. typically fewer than two seconds. the system does not trigger.

Using the System

The Blind Spot Information System turns on when you start the engine and you drive your vehicle forward above 5 mph (8 km/h).

For automatic transmissions. the Blind Spot Information System remains on while the transmission is in drive (D). If shifted into reverse (R) or park (P) the Blind Spot Information System turns off. Once shifted back into drive (D). the Blind Spot Information System turns back on when you drive your vehicle above 5 mph (8 km/h).

Note: For automatic transmissions. the Blind Spot Information System does not function in reverse (R) or park (P).

For manual transmissions. the Blind Spot Information System is on for all gears except reverse (R).

System Lights and Messages

E142442

The Blind Spot Information System illuminates an amber alert indicator in the outside mirror on the side of your vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming from.

When the Blind Spot Information System is alerting on a vehicle and the corresponding turn signal is ON. the Blind Spot Information System alert indicator flashes as an increased warning level.

The alert indicator dims when the system detects nighttime darkness.

Note: The alert indicator flashes in case of an alert and the turn signal is set to that side at the same time.

System Sensor Blockage

E231384

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Driving Aids

The system uses radar sensors that are located inside the tail lamp on each side of your vehicle. Any dirt. mud and snow in front of the sensors or driving in heavy rain can cause system degradation. Also. other types of obstructions in front of the sensor can cause system degradation. This is referred to as a blocked’ condition.

Note: Do not apply bumper stickers and/or repair compound to these areas. this can cause degraded system performance.

If the system detects a degraded performance condition. a message warning appears in the display screen. The alert indicators remain ON and the system no longer provides any warnings. You can clear the warning but the alert indicators remain illuminated.

A "blocked" condition can be cleared in two ways: After the blockage in front of the sensors is removed or the rainfall/snowfall rate decreases or stops. drive for a few minutes in traffic to allow the sensors to detect passing vehicles. By cycling the ignition from ON to OFF and then back ON.

Note: If your vehicle has a tow bar with a factory equipped trailer tow module and it is towing a trailer. the sensors will automatically turn the Blind Spot Information System off. If your vehicle has a tow bar but no factory equipped trailer tow module. it is recommended to turn the Blind Spot Information System off manually. Operating the Blind Spot Information System without the Blind Spot Trailer Tow package and a trailer attached will cause poor system performance.

Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow (If Equipped)

E225007

The Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow is designed to aid you in detecting vehicles that may have entered the detection area zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle and trailer. extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to the end of your trailer.

When a trailer is attached and the customer has set up a Blind Spot Trailer. the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow becomes active when driving forward above 6 mph (10 km/h). See Trailer Reversing Aids (page 274).

Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) and length less than 33 ft (10.1 m)?

If no. the Blind Spot Information System turns off.

If yes. the menu goes to the next screen.

Trailer width measurement:

The width of the trailer is measured at the front of the trailer. It is not measured at the widest point of the trailer. The maximum width at the front of the trailer that the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow can support is 8.5 ft (2.6 m).

Note: You do not need to enter an exact trailer width measurement; just measure that it is 8.5 ft (2.6 m) or less.

Trailer length measurement:

The trailer length is the distance between the trailer hitch ball and the rear of the trailer. The maximum length that the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow can support is 33 ft (10.1 m).

Enter length of trailer:

The default setting is 18 ft (5.5 m).

Toggling up or down using the menu buttons will increase/decrease the measurement by 3 ft (1 m). Select the length so that the value is equal to or within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured length. For example. if the actual measured length is 25 ft (7.6 m). then toggle the length in the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m). When the length has been entered. the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow setup is saved.

If you do not set up a Blind Spot Trailer. a warning appears in the instrument cluster when a trailer is connected stating that the system has been turned off due to a trailer connect.

Note: If the trailer is actually a bike rack or cargo rack with electrical lighting. then the length will be 3 ft (1 m). Cross Traffic Alert will remain on for trailers 3 ft (1 m) or less.

System Operation

If you select a trailer in the display screen prior to connecting the trailer. the system will load that configuration and the information cluster displays a message when the trailer is connected. A second message appears stating Cross Traffic Alert has been turned off; the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow still functions normally when driving forward.

If no trailer has been set up and a trailer is connected. the instrument cluster provides a message indicating a trailer is connected followed by a message asking to select a trailer from the existing list of trailers or to add a trailer. In order for the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow to function. an existing trailer must be selected or a new trailer must be added. If the request is ignored or if you exit the screen. a message appears prompting you that the system has been turned off due to a trailer connect. This message may not appear until your vehicle speed reaches 22 mph (35 km/h).

The Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow activates when driving forward for that particular trailer set up. If the ignition is cycled. the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow continues to function using the last trailer selected.

Trailer Considerations

The Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow is designed to work with any trailer whose front width is 8.5 ft (2.6 m) or less and total length from the trailer hitch ball to the rear of the trailer is 33 ft (10.1 m) or less. Different trailers may cause a slight change in performance as outlined below.

Large box trailers may cause false alerts to trigger when driving next to buildings or near parking cars. A false alert may also occur while making a 90-degree turn.

Trailers that are 8.5 ft (2.6 m) wide at the front and have a total length greater than 20 ft (6 m) may have delayed alerts from passing vehicles when the vehicle is passing at high speed.

A box trailer whose front width is 8.5 ft (2.6 m) may cause early alerts when you are over taking a vehicle.

When towing a clam shell or V-Nose box trailer with a front width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m). delayed alerts on merging vehicles that are traveling the same speed as your vehicle may occur.

System Errors

If the system senses a problem with the left or right sensor. the telltale illuminates and a message appears in the display screen. See Information Messages (page 120).

Switching the System Off and On

You can temporarily switch the Blind Spot Information System off in the display screen. See General Information (page 109). When the Blind Spot Information System switches off. you do not receive alerts and the display screen shows a system off message. The telltale in the cluster also illuminates. When you switch the Blind Spot Information System on or off. the alert indicators flash twice.

Note: The Blind Spot Information System remembers the last selected on or off setting.

You can also have the Blind Spot Information System switched off permanently at an authorized dealer. Once switched off permanently. the system can only be switched back on at an authorized dealer.

STEERING

Hydraulic Power Steering

To help prevent damage to the power steering system: Do not hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points for more than three to five seconds when the engine is running. Avoid continuously steering back and forth with elevated engine RPM as this may overheat the system. If trying to free a stuck vehicle. pause between attempts to allow the power steering system to cool or seek assistance.

Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow the system to cool. Do not operate the vehicle if the power steering pump fluid level is below the MIN mark on the reservoir. Some noise is normal during operation.

If excessive. check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your dealer. Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused by low power steering fluid. Check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your dealer. Do not fill the power steering pump reservoir above the MAX mark on the reservoir. as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.

If the power steering system breaks down or if you switch the engine off. you can steer the vehicle manually. but it takes more effort.

If you have any steering components serviced or replaced. install new fasteners.

Many fasteners have coatings with thread adhesive. or have prevailing torque features you cannot reuse. Do not reuse a bolt or nut. Torque fasteners to specifications.

Steering Tips

If the steering wanders or pulls. check for: An improperly inflated tire. Uneven tire wear. Loose or worn suspension components. Loose or worn steering components. Improper vehicle alignment.

Note: A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering seem to wander or pull.

Electronic Torque Overlay Steering

(If Equipped)

WARNING: The electric power steering system has diagnostic checks that continuously monitor the system. If a fault is detected. a message displays in the information display. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Switch the ignition off. After at least 10 seconds. switch the ignition on and watch the information display for a steering system warning message. If a steering system warning message returns. have the system checked as soon as possible.

WARNING: If the system detects an error. you may not feel a difference in the steering. however a serious condition may exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in loss of steering control.

Child Safety

The electronic torque overlay steering system adds supplemental steering assist to the hydraulic gear when needed. dependent on vehicle conditions such as vehicle speed. steering wheel angle. and steering wheel torque. The hydraulic steering system provides the majority of steering assistance. The electronic torque overlay enables features such as pro trailer backup assistance and lane departure warning.

If your vehicle loses electrical power while you are driving. your vehicle loses electric power steering assistance. The steering system still operates. and you can steer your vehicle with hydraulic assist. Steering your vehicle with only hydraulic assist requires more effort.

Extreme continuous steering may increase the effort required for you to steer your vehicle. This increased effort prevents overheating and permanent damage to the steering system. You do not lose the ability to steer your vehicle manually.

Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow the system to cool and return to normal operation.

Adaptive Learning (If Equipped)

The electronic power steering system adaptive learning helps correct road irregularities and improves overall handling and steering feel. It communicates with the brake system to help operate advanced stability control and accident avoidance systems. Whenever the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed. you must drive your vehicle a short distance before the system relearns the strategy and reactivates all systems.

Adaptive Steering (If Equipped)

Note: The adaptive steering system has diagnostic checks that continuously monitor the system. If the system detects a fault. a message displays in the information display.

If a red warning message displays. stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. The message may clear if the fault is no longer present. If an adaptive steering system warning message appears each time you start your vehicle. have the system checked as soon as possible.

The adaptive steering system continually changes the steering ratio with changes to vehicle speed. optimizing the steering response in all conditions. The system also changes when you switch on the transmission tow/haul feature. When you select the tow/haul button. the adaptive steering system reduces vehicle sensitivity to steering inputs at higher vehicle speeds. while maintaining the ease of parking and maneuverability at low speeds.

Note: The adaptive steering system is designed with a locking device. With the lock engaged. the adaptive steering system remains mechanically locked at a fixed steering ratio. You may also notice a click when you switch the vehicle on or after you switch it off. as the lock disengages or engages.

Note: If your vehicle loses electrical power or detects a fault when you are driving. the system automatically shuts down and you retain normal steering function with a fixed steering ratio. During this time it is possible that the steering wheel may not be straight when the vehicle is driving straight ahead.

In addition. the driver may notice that the steering wheel angle required to steer the vehicle may be different.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Driving Aids

Note: During parking maneuvers. the adaptive steering system balances the driver work load for various steering wheel inputs and vehicle loading conditions. Under extreme operating conditions the system locking device may engage. This strategy prevents overheating and permanent damage to the adaptive steering system.

Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow the system to cool and return to normal operation.

LOAD LIMIT

Vehicle Loading - with and without a Trailer

This section guides you in the proper loading of your vehicle. trailer. or both. Keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability. with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle provides maximum return of vehicle design performance.

Before you load your vehicle. become familiar with the following terms for determining your vehicle’s weight rating. with or without a trailer. from the vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information label or Safety Compliance Certification label.

Tire and Loading Label Information Example:

E198719

Payload

Payload is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that your vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle appears on the Tire and Loading label. The label is either on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver door. Vehicles exported outside the US and Canada may not have a tire and loading label. Look for “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg OR XXX lb” for maximum payload. The payload listed on the Tire and Loading Information label

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Load Carrying

WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle. do not add more cargo. even if there is space available. Overloading or improperly loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)

GAWR is the maximum allowable weight that a single axle (front or rear) can carry. These numbers are on the Safety Compliance Certification label. The label is located on the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver seating position.

The total load on each axle must never exceed its Gross Axle Weight Rating.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)

GVWR is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle.

This includes all options. equipment. passengers and cargo.

It appears on the Safety Compliance Certification label.

The label is located on the door hinge pillar. door-latch post. or the door edge that meets the door-latch post. next to the driver seating position.

The gross vehicle weight must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

Safety Compliance Certification Label Example:

Load Carrying

Note: The automatic locking mode is available on the front passenger and rear seats. This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

Allow the belt to retract to remove slack. The belt clicks as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.

Try to pull the belt out of the retractor to make sure the retractor is in the automatic locking mode. You should not be able to pull more belt out. If the retractor did not lock. unbuckle the belt and repeat Steps 5 and 6.

E142533

Remove remaining slack from the belt.

Force the seat down with extra weight. for example. by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt. This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that exists once you add the extra weight of the child to the child restraint.

It also helps to achieve the proper snugness of the child restraint to your vehicle. Sometimes. a slight lean toward the buckle helps to remove remaining slack from the belt.

If the child restraint has a tether strap. attach it.

E142534

Before placing the child in the seat. forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place.

To check this. grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation.

We recommend checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed. In Canada. check with Transport Canada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.

Using Lap and Shoulder Belts (Front Center Position of Super Cab and Crew Cab)

WARNING: Do not place a rearward facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Always use both the lap and shoulder portion of the seatbelt in the center seating position.

Child Safety

WARNING: Exceeding the Safety Compliance Certification label vehicle weight limits can adversely affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. cause vehicle damage and can result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight

Maximum loaded trailer weight is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. Consult an authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide available at an authorized dealer) for more detailed information.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating)

GCWR is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer. including all cargo and passengers. that the vehicle can handle without risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle’s braking system is rated for operation at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. not at Gross Combined Weight Rating.) Separate functional brakes should

WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label.

WARNING: Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower your vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the original tires do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

WARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating can adversely affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. cause vehicle damage and can result in the loss of control of your vehicle. serious personal injury or death.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Load Carrying

Steps for determining the correct load limit:

1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lb." on your vehicle’s Tire and Loading label.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lb.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example. if the “XXX” amount equals 1. 00 lb. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle. the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.

That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer. load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Helpful examples for calculating the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity

Suppose your vehicle has a 1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo and luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load capacity to carry you. four of your friends and all the golf bags? You and four friends average 220 pounds (99 kilograms) each and the golf bags weigh approximately 30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.

The calculation would be: 1400 (5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 150 = 150 pounds. Yes. you have enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and your golf bags. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (5 x 99 kilograms) (5 x 13.5 kilograms) = 635 - 495 67.5 = 72.5 kilograms.

Suppose your vehicle has a 1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo and luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past two years. Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down. you have room for twelve 100-pound (45-kilogram) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms). the calculation would be: 1400 (2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Load Carrying

1200 = - 240 pounds. No. you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.

You will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 pounds (104 kilograms). If you remove three 100-pound (45-kilogram) cement bags. then the load calculation would be:1400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 900 = 60 pounds. Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. In metric units. the calculation would be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that does not overload the front or the rear gross axle weight rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety Compliance Certification label.

Load Placement

To help minimize how trailer movement affects your vehicle when driving: Load the heaviest items closest to the trailer floor. Load the heaviest items centered between the left and right side trailer tires. Load the heaviest items above the trailer axles or just slightly forward toward the trailer tongue. Do not allow the final trailer tongue weight to go above or below 10-15% of the loaded trailer weight. Select a ball mount with the correct rise or drop. When both the loaded vehicle and trailer are connected. the trailer frame should be level. or slightly angled down toward your vehicle. when viewed from the side.

When driving with a trailer or payload. a slight takeoff vibration or shudder may be present due to the increased payload weight.

Additional information regarding proper trailer loading and setting your vehicle up for towing is located in another chapter of this manual. See Load Limit (page 265).

Note: If your vehicle has the fifth wheel prep package. you have everything you need.

If your vehicle does not have the fifth wheel prep package. see your authorized dealer to purchase the sensor kit and the 7/12 pin connector.

Calibrating the System

During calibration. the system determines the trailer length. The system supports trailer lengths of 10–39 ft (3–11.94 m) distance from the hitch point to the center of the axle or axles.

To calibrate the system. you need an area where you can safely drive forward and turn left or right. An open parking lot is an ideal place to perform the calibration.

Drive straight at approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) to align the trailer behind your vehicle. The information display and center screen provide you with instructions and tells you when the system is ready for a turn. Turn left or right whenever you are ready and in a safe turning area.

Note: You need to turn approximately 90 degrees to calibrate the system.

A small representation shows you two zones to warn you of a possible jackknife condition. The view shows your truck and trailer position and provides visual feedback to help avoid a jackknife condition entirely.

The yellow zone indicates you are approaching the maximum controllable trailer angle for the system. When your trailer enters this zone. it is more difficult to reduce the trailer turn when backing up.

It may be necessary to put your vehicle back into drive (D) and pull forward to get the truck and trailer back to an in-line position.

The red zone indicates you have exceeded the maximum controllable trailer angle for the system. Put the truck into drive (D) and pull forward until your trailer is no longer in the red zone.

Troubleshooting - Conventional Trailer

Note: The system requires a clear view of the sticker placed on the trailer. You must keep the camera lens and sticker clean for the system to operate correctly.

Setup

The system is designed to be used with a wide variety of trailers. There are some trailers that do not have a proper surface and location to mount the sticker. These trailers are not supported. Attempts to place the sticker on a surface that does not meet the sticker placement requirement listed in Step 3 of the setup instruction or entering inaccurate measurements to proceed through setup can result in improper system function.

Accurate measurements are critical for correct system function. If you need to check measurements entered or change them. you can access them through the instrument cluster. Choose the option to change the sticker from the change trailer settings menu. It is not necessary to remove the sticker if you are just reviewing or changing measurements.

The following menu warnings or difficulties may occur during setup. Tips to resolve them are listed below.

Note: If you still experience issues with the system's ability to detect the sticker. see the information in the next section regarding sticker lost during system operation.

Measurement A has reached maximum or minimum value: The system is designed to work with drawbars that have a license plate to hitch ball center measurement of 9–20 in (23–52 cm) when installed.

Do not attempt to use drawbars that have a length outside this range as the system performance degrades and could cause improper system function. Make sure that the measurement being made is the horizontal distance only from license plate to the hitch ball center. A straight line distance that includes any vertical rise or drop increases the measurement and makes it inaccurate. Inaccurate measurements degrade system performance and could cause improper system function. See step 4 of the setup instruction to review measurement instructions.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Towing

Measurement B has reached maximum or minimum value: Make sure that the sticker placement instruction in step 3 of the setup has been followed. Stickers placed outside the allowed zone adversely affects the system performance and could cause improper feature function. Make sure that the measurement being made is the horizontal distance only from center of sticker to the hitch ball center. A straight line distance that includes any vertical rise or drop increases the measurement and causes an inaccurate value to be entered into the system. See step 4 of the setup for additional measurement instructions.

Measurement C has reached maximum or minimum value: Make sure you follow the sticker placement instructions in step 3 of the setup. Stickers placed outside the allowed zone adversely affect the system performance and could cause improper feature function. If you have met all the criteria for sticker placement and you see this message. the sticker is either too far below or too close to the camera to properly recognize the sticker. For the system to operate correctly. the sticker height must be lowered if you receive the minimum warning or the sticker height must be raised if you receive the maximum warning. Only one sticker can be placed on the trailer for correct system function. The previous sticker must be removed or covered so only one sticker is visible to the camera. Measurement B and C must be measured again if a new sticker is placed on the trailer.

Measurement D has reached maximum or minimum value: Make sure that the measurement being made is the horizontal distance only from tailgate to the center of the single axle or the center of all the axles on the trailer. See step 4 of the setup for additional measurement instructions.

The system does not support trailer lengths outside the range allowed by the information display.

System is circling something beside the sticker or system cannot find the sticker: Make sure the rear camera is clean and the sticker is clearly visible in the camera image. Clean the camera and sticker if necessary. The camera system uses the entered measurements to help locate the sticker. Inaccurate sticker measurements degrade the system’s ability to locate the sticker. Verify the measurements you enter into the system are accurate. Remove the incorrectly circled label or decal if possible. If you cannot resolve the issue. try a new sticker location. The sticker location must still meet the requirements noted in step 3 of the setup instructions. Only one sticker can be placed on the trailer for correct system function. The previous sticker must be removed or covered so only one sticker is visible to the camera.

Calibration

The system monitors various vehicle parameters to ensure your vehicle is being driven straight and the trailer is straight behind your vehicle. Any steering input or trailer movement pauses the calibration.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Towing

For best results: Use a long. straight. smooth and level road when attempting to calibrate. Drive straight forward. Drive between 4–24 mph (6–39 km/h).

System Operation

The following warnings or difficulties may occur during feature operation. Tips to resolve them are listed below.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist System is Not Available or Trailer Reverse Guidance System is Not Available: The system relies on many sub-systems in your vehicle to correctly operate. If those sub-systems are not correctly operating. the system may not be available. Low battery voltage is a condition that prevents the system from operating.

Please make sure the battery is correctly charged if the system is not available. You may need to drive your vehicle straight forward above 25 mph (40 km/h) before the system is available again. If the message continues to display. see your authorized dealer for service.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist Driving Required to Initialize Steering Press Knob to Exit or Trailer Reverse Guidance Driving Required to Initialize Steering Press OK to Exit: The steering system needs to learn internal parameters to fully enable the feature. Drive your vehicle straight forward above 25 mph (40 km/h) for approximately 5 minutes. This may occur when your vehicle is new. the battery voltage is too low. the battery has been disconnected or your steering system has been serviced.

Sticker lost: If the system cannot initially find the sticker. it may be necessary for you to change the lighting conditions by moving the vehicle and trailer or waiting until conditions change. Check for the following if you receive the lost sticker message while using the system. Stop your vehicle as soon as the message displays. Make sure the sticker is visible and the pattern is discernable in the rear view camera image. Clean the sticker and camera to make sure they are unobstructed. Clean the lens with a soft. lint-free cloth and water. Clean the sticker with isopropyl rubbing alcohol sprayed directly onto the sticker. and then wipe clean with a soft cloth. Remove any items that may be blocking the view of the sticker.

Depending on your trailer configuration and any equipment mounted to your trailer. it is possible for the sticker to be blocked from view of the camera as it rotates on the hitch ball but not be blocked during setup. Remove the obstruction if possible. It may be necessary to remove the sticker from its current location if the obstruction cannot be cleared. Place a new sticker that is visible to the camera in all positions of the trailer behind your vehicle.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Towing

Placing the sticker on a surface angled away from the vehicle reduces performance. Use a drawbar that positions the trailer level to the ground when attached to the vehicle. This typically provides a level surface to mount the sticker. Place the sticker on a bracket or other object when no level surface is available. Make sure the entire sticker is on a flat surface that is completely visible to the camera. Do not fold the sticker over an edge on the trailer frame. This can degrade performance. Shadows on the sticker may affect tracking performance under some lighting conditions. Moving the sticker to another location within the allowed placement area may improve performance. Use the change sticker option in the information display menu if you move the sticker. You can change your sticker location by going into the information display menu. selecting trailer options. selecting change trailer settings and then selecting the change sticker option. The previous sticker must be removed. ONLY ONE STICKER SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE TRAILER FOR CORRECT SYSTEM FUNCTION.

The camera system uses the entered measurements to help locate the sticker. Inaccurate measurements reduce the system’s ability to locate the sticker. Check the measurements entered into the system are correct.

Refer to step 4 of setup for instructions on measurements. You can change your measurement by going into the information display menu. selecting trailer options. selecting change trailer setting and then selecting the change sticker option. Disregard the prompt to remove this sticker and continue to the next step if you only plan to update the measurements for the current sticker location.

System does not reverse straight: Factors such as the drawbar connection to the hitch receiver. road camber. road grade and compliance in the trailer suspension can influence how straight the system is able to reverse your trailer when the knob is not turned. You can compensate for the trailer drifting to the right or left by slowly turning the knob until the trailer is following your preferred path and then holding the knob in that position.

If you would like to recalibrate the system for straight backing. you can do so with the following procedure. Go into the information display menu. select trailer options. select change trailer setting and then select the change sticker option. Your saved measurements display. Do not change them but continue to confirm measurements. Once you confirm the measurements. the system then prompts you to perform the calibration procedure.

Before placing the child in the seat. forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this. grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation.

Check from time to time to be sure that there is no slack in the lap and shoulder belt. The shoulder belt must be snug to keep the lap belt tight during a crash.

We recommend checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed. In Canada. check with Transport Canada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.

Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)

WARNING: Do not attach two child safety restraints to the same anchor. In a crash. one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety restraint attachments and may break. causing serious injury or death.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint. and depending on the child restraint design. you may block access to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies and LATCH lower anchors. rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of injury. make sure occupants only use seating positions where they are able to be properly restrained.

The LATCH system has three vehicle anchor points: two lower anchors where the vehicle seat backrest and seat cushion meet (called the seat bight) and one top tether anchor behind that seating position.

LATCH compatible child restraints have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LATCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use seatbelts to attach the child restraint. However. you can still use the seatbelt to attach the child restraint if the

Troubleshooting - Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer

Setup

The system is designed to be used with a wide variety of trailers. There are some trailers that do not have a proper surface and location to mount the sensor. These trailers are not supported. Attempts to install the sensor in a manner that does not meet the requirements can result in improper system function.

To correctly install the trailer sensor: Attach to vertical surface with the arrows pointed straight up. If you are not sure. use a level to check that the attachment surface is vertical. Securely fasten the sensor so that it is rigidly mounted and does not shake or wobble. Install within the range of the 12 way connector so that when the trailer swings the wire harness does not stretch. pinch or pull.

If the system displays Pro Trailer Backup Assist Sensor Not Detected Refer to Owner's Manual Press Knob to Exit or Trailer Reverse Guidance Sensor Not Detected Refer to Owner's Manual Press OK to Exit: Check that the 12 way connector is fully inserted into the 12 way socket. The red rubber seal is not visible when the connector is fully inserted. Check that the wiring harness sensor connection is fully inserted at the trailer sensor. Check for damaged wiring between the 12 way connector and the trailer sensor. If you have a 12 way connector inside the bed and in the bumper. ensure that only a single sensor is connected.

Note: If you did not purchase the fifth wheel prep pack. you need to replace the 7/4 way trailer connector in your bumper with a 7/12 pin connector. See your authorized dealer.

Calibration

The calibration process is required for the system to determine the trailer length. The system supports trailer lengths of 10–39 ft (3–11.94 m) distance from the hitch point to the center of the axle or axles. The calibration process consists of a straight forward drive followed by a turn. During the straight drive. the system monitors various vehicle parameters to make sure your vehicle is being driven straight and the trailer is straight behind your vehicle. Any steering input or trailer movement during this straight drive pauses the calibration.

During the turn. the system monitors various vehicle parameters to make sure your vehicle and trailer are correctly turning.

For best results: Use a smooth and level road when attempting to calibrate. Steer and smoothly turn and avoid abrupt steering inputs. Drive between 2–16 mph (4–25 km/h). Make a typical 90 degree corner turn.

Turning too shallow does not allow the system to calibrate.

The typical calibration process results in the system displaying messages in the information display. The system also displays additional warnings if the vehicle or trailer motion is not within the calibration limits.

You can only use LATCH compatible child restraints (with attachments on belt webbing) at this seating position provided that the child restraint manufacturer's instructions permit use with the anchor spacing stated.

Do not attach a child restraint to any lower anchor if an adjacent child restraint is attached to that anchor.

Each time you use the child restraint. check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor. if applicable. Tug the child restraint from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to the vehicle. The seat should move less than 1 in (2.5 cm) when you do this for a proper installation.

If you did not properly anchor the child restraint. the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases.

Combining Seatbelt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching Child Restraints

When used in combination. either the seatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors may be attached first. provided a proper installation is achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward. if included with the child restraint.

Using Tether Straps

Many forward-facing child restraints include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child restraint and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.

Contact the manufacturer of your child restraint for information about ordering a tether strap. or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether strap on your child restraint does not reach the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The passenger seats of your vehicle may have built-in tether strap anchors behind the seats as described below.

The tether anchors in your vehicle may be loops of webbing above the seat backrest or an anchor bracket behind the seat on the rear edge of the seat cushion.

The rear seat in the Crew Cab and Super Cab has three straps along the top of the seat backrest that function as both routing loops for the tether straps and anchor loops.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions (shown from top view):

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.

If you install a child restraint with rigid LATCH attachments. do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child restraint off the vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child restraint. Keeping the child restraint just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.

Once you install the child restraint using either the seatbelt. the lower anchors of the LATCH system. or both. you can attach the top tether strap.

Front Seat Tether Strap Attachment (Regular Cab)

Note: For vehicles with adjustable head restraints. route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts. otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seat backrest.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Child Safety

Route the child restraint tether strap over the back of the seat and under the head restraint.

Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position. You may need to pull the seat backrest forward to access the tether anchors. Make sure the seat is locked in the upright position before installing the child restraint.

Clip the tether strap to the anchor.

Tighten the child restraint tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Regular Cab Passenger and Center Seats (located on back panel)

E175295

If you clip the tether strap incorrectly. the child restraint may not be retained properly in the event of a crash.

If you did not properly anchor the child restraint. the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system has a tether strap. and the child restraint manufacturer recommends its use. we also recommend its use.

Rear Seat Tether Strap Attachment (Crew Cab and Super Cab)

E167009

There are three loops of webbing just above the back of the rear seat (along the bottom edge of the rear window). Use these loops as both routing loops and anchor loops for up to three child restraint tether straps.

For example. you can use the center loop as a routing loop for a child restraint in the center rear seat and as an anchoring loop for child restraints installed in the outboard rear seats.

Many tether straps cannot be tightened if the tether strap is hooked to the loop directly behind the child restraint.

To provide a tight tether strap:

E162715

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Child Safety

Route the vehicle tether loop between the head restraint posts. then route the child restraint tether strap through the loop. forward of the head restraint.

Hook the strap to the vehicle tether anchor loop in the adjacent seating position. If using the driver side. pass the strap behind the shoulder belt for the center seat. Always put the tether strap through the routing loop. The head restraint support post holds the child restraint tightly. but the head restraint post is not strong enough to hold the child restraint during a crash.

Tighten the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.

If the child restraint is not anchored properly. the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases.

If your child restraint system has a tether strap. and the child restraint manufacturer recommends its use. we also recommend its use.

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING: Do not put the shoulder section of the seatbelt or allow the child to put the shoulder section of the seatbelt under their arm or behind their back. Failure to follow this instruction could reduce the effectiveness of the seatbelt and increase the risk of injury or death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for children who have outgrown or no longer properly fit in a child safety restraint (generally children who are less than 57 in (1.45 m) tall. are greater than age 4 and less than age 12. and between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb

(45 kg) if recommended by your child restraint manufacturer). Many state and provincial laws require that children use approved booster seats until they reach age eight. a height of 57 in (1.45 m) tall. or 80 lb (36 kg).

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these questions when seated without a booster seat:

E142595

Can the child sit all the way back against their vehicle seat backrest with knees bent comfortably at the edge of the seat cushion? Can the child sit without slouching? Does the lap belt rest low across the hips? Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest? Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction with your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.

Child Safety

Types of Booster Seats

E68924

Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a removable shield. remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat backrest or no head restraint. a backless booster seat may place your child's head (as measured at the tops of the ears) above the top of the seat. In this case. move the backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat backrest or head restraint and lap and shoulder belts. or consider using a high back booster seat.

E70710

High back booster seats

If. with a backless booster seat. you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child's head. a high back booster seat would be a better choice.

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips. never up across the stomach. and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder. The following drawings compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to the neck and a shoulder belt that could slip off the shoulder. The drawings also show how the lap belt should be low and snug across the child's hips.

Child Safety

E142597

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat upon which it is being used. placing a rubberized mesh sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this condition. Do not introduce any item thicker than this under the booster seat.

Check with the booster seat manufacturer's instructions.

CHILD RESTRAINT POSITIONING

WARNING: Do not place a rearward facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Properly secure children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible. If you are unable to properly secure all children in a rear seating position. properly secure the largest child on the front seat. If you must use a forward facing child restraint on the front seat. move the seat as far back as possible.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Always carefully follow the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer of any child restraint to determine if the restraint device is appropriate for your child's size. height. weight. or age. Follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions and warnings provided for installation and use in conjunction with the instructions and warnings provided by your vehicle manufacturer. A safety seat that is improperly installed or utilized. is inappropriate for your child's height. age. or weight or does not properly fit the child may increase the risk of serious injury or death.

WARNING: Do not allow a passenger to hold a child on their lap when your vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

WARNING: Children must always be properly restrained.

WARNING: Do not allow a passenger to hold a child on their lap when your vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle. including the driver. should always properly wear their seatbelts. even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly wear your seatbelt could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area. inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash. people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: In a rollover crash. an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seatbelt.

WARNING: Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific seatbelt assembly made up of one buckle and one tongue designed to be used as a pair.

Use the shoulder belt on the outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never use a single seatbelt for more than one person.

WARNING: Even with advanced restraints systems. properly restrain children 12 and under in a rear seating position. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: Seatbelts and seats may be hot in a vehicle that is in the sunshine. The hot seatbelts or seats may burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.

All seating positions in this vehicle have lap and shoulder belts. All occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their seatbelts. even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.

The seatbelt system consists of: Lap and shoulder seatbelts. Shoulder seatbelts with automatic locking mode. (except the driver seatbelt). Height adjusters at the front outermost seating positions. Seatbelt pretensioners at the front outermost and rear outermost seating positions.

Seatbelts

E67017 Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness indicator.

The seatbelt pretensioners are designed to tighten the seatbelts when activated. In frontal and near-frontal crashes. the seatbelt pretensioners may be activated alone or. if the crash is of sufficient severity. together with the front airbags. In side crashes and rollovers. the seatbelt pretensioners activate when the Safety Canopy is activated.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS

The front outermost and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts.

E142587

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

Make sure you securely fasten the tongue in the buckle.

E142588

To unfasten. press the release button and remove the tongue from the buckle.

Using the Seatbelt with Cinch Tongue (Front Center Seat on Super Cab and Crew Cab)

The cinch tongue slides up and down the belt webbing when you stow the belt or while putting seatbelts on. When you buckle the lap and shoulder seatbelt. the cinch tongue allows you to shorten the lap portion. but pinches the webbing to keep the lap portion from getting longer. The cinch tongue is designed to slip during a crash. so always wear the shoulder belt properly and do not allow any slack in either the lap or shoulder portions.

Before you can reach and latch a lap and shoulder belt having a cinch tongue into the buckle. you may have to lengthen the lap belt portion of it.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Seatbelts

E162708

To lengthen the lap belt. pull some webbing out of the shoulder belt retractor.

While holding the webbing below the tongue. grasp the tip (metal portion) of the tongue so that it is parallel to the webbing and slide the tongue upward.

Provide enough lap belt length so that the tongue can reach the buckle.

Fastening the Cinch Tongue

WARNING: Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap belt snug and low across the hips.

Pull the lap and shoulder belt from the retractor so that the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt crosses your shoulder and chest.

Be sure the belt is not twisted. If the belt is twisted. remove the twist.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for your seating position until you hear a snap and feel it latch.

Make sure you securely fasten the tongue to the buckle by pulling on the tongue.

While you are fastened in the seatbelt. the lap and shoulder belt with a cinch tongue adjusts to your movement. However. if you brake hard. turn hard. or if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more. the seatbelt locks and helps reduce your forward movement.

Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy

WARNING: Always ride and drive with your seatback upright and properly fasten your seatbelt. Fit the lap portion of the seatbelt snugly and low across the hips. Position the shoulder portion of the seatbelt across your chest. Pregnant women must follow this practice. See the following figure.

E142590

Pregnant women should always wear their seatbelt. Position the lap belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt low across the hips below the belly and worn as tight as comfort allows. Position the shoulder belt to cross the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest.

Seatbelt Locking Modes

WARNING: If your vehicle is involved in a crash. have the seatbelts and associated components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The driver seatbelt has the first type of locking mode. The front outermost passenger and rear seat seatbelts have both types of locking modes described as follows:

Vehicle Sensitive Mode

This is the normal retractor mode. which allows free shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle movement.

For example. if the driver brakes suddenly. turns a corner sharply. or the vehicle receives an impact of about 5 mph (8 km/h) or more. the combination seatbelts lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.

In addition. the retractor is designed to lock if you pull the webbing out too quickly. If the seatbelt retractor locks. slowly lower the height adjuster to allow the seatbelt to retract. If the retractor does not unlock. pull the seatbelt out slowly then feed a small length of webbing back toward the stowed position. For rear seatbelts. recline the rear seat backrest or push the seat backrest cushion away from the seatbelt.

Feed a small length of webbing back toward the stowed position.

Automatic Locking Mode

In this mode. the shoulder belt automatically pre-locks. The belt still retracts to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver seatbelt.

When to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

Use this mode any time you install a child restraint in a front outermost passenger seating position in a Regular Cab.

SuperCab. SuperCrew or any rear seating position of a SuperCab or SuperCrew. The optional front center seatbelt has a cinch mechanism. Properly restrain children 12 years old and under in a rear seat whenever possible.

How to Use the Automatic Locking Mode

E142591

Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt.

Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until you pull the entire belt out.

Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts. you will hear a clicking sound.

This indicates the seatbelt is now in the automatic locking mode.

How to Disengage the Automatic Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and allow it to retract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.

SEATBELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Position the safety belt height adjuster so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder.

Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and increase the risk of injury in a crash.

E145664

CHILD RESTRAINT AND SEATBELT MAINTENANCE

Inspect the vehicle seatbelts and child safety seat systems periodically to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the vehicle and child restraint seatbelts to make sure there are no nicks. tears or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle seatbelt assemblies. including retractors. buckles. front seatbelt buckle assemblies. buckle support assemblies (slide bar-if equipped). shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped). shoulder belt guide on seat backrest (if equipped). child safety seat LATCH and tether anchors. and attaching hardware. should be inspected after a crash. Read the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for additional inspection and maintenance information specific to the child restraint.

We recommend that all seatbelt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a crash be replaced. However. if the crash was minor and an authorized dealer finds that the belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly. they do not need to be replaced. Seatbelt assemblies not in use during a crash should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.

Properly care for seatbelts. See Vehicle Care (page 380).

SEATBELT EXTENSIONS

WARNING: Persons who fit into the vehicle's seatbelt should not use an extension. Unnecessary use could result in serious personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Only use extensions provided free of charge by our dealers.

The dealer will provide an extension designed specifically for this vehicle. model year and seating position. The use of an extension intended for another vehicle. model year or seating position may not offer you the full protection of your vehicle's seatbelt restraint system.

WARNING: Never use seatbelt extensions to install child restraints.

WARNING: Do not use a seatbelt extension with an inflatable seatbelt.

WARNING: Do not use extensions to change the way the seatbelt fits across the torso. over the lap or to make the seatbelt buckle easier to reach.

If. because of body size or driving position. it is not possible to properly fasten the seatbelt over your lap and shoulder. an extension that is compatible with the seatbelts is available free of charge from our dealers. Only use our seatbelt extensions made by the original equipment seatbelt manufacturer with our seatbelts.

Ask your authorized dealer if your extension is compatible with your vehicle restraint system.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Airbags do not inflate slowly or gently. and the risk of injury from a deploying airbag is the greatest close to the trim covering the airbag module.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle. including the driver. should always properly wear their seatbelts. even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly wear your seatbelt could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: Properly secure children 12 years old and under in a rear seating position whenever possible. If you are unable to properly secure all children in a rear seating position. properly secure the largest child on the front seat. If you must use a forward facing child restraint on the front seat. move the seat as far back as possible.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not place your arms on the airbag cover or through the steering wheel. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.

WARNING: Do not place a rearward facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service. repair. or modify the supplementary restraint system or associated components. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after inflation. To reduce the risk of injury. do not touch them after inflation.

WARNING: If a supplementary restraint system component has deployed. it will not function again. Have the system and associated components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

The airbags are a supplemental restraint system and are designed to work with the seatbelts to help protect the driver and right front passenger from certain upper body injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly; there is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment. it is normal to notice a smoke-like. powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch. talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (for example. baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes. but none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help reduce serious injuries. contact with a deploying airbag may also cause abrasions or swelling. Temporary hearing loss is also a possibility as a result of the noise associated with a deploying airbag.

Because airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force. there is the risk of death or serious injuries such as fractures. facial and eye injuries or internal injuries.

The passenger side airbag should always be on (the passenger airbag off light should not be illuminated) unless the passenger is a person who meets the requirements stated either in Category 1. 2 or 3 of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Transport Canada deactivation criteria which follows.

The vast majority of drivers and passengers are much safer with an airbag than without. To do their job and reduce the risk of life threatening injuries. airbags must open with great force. and this force can pose a potentially deadly risk in some situations. particularly when a front seat occupant is not properly buckled up. The most effective way to reduce the risk of unnecessary airbag injuries without reducing the overall safety of the vehicle is to make sure all occupants are properly restrained in the vehicle. especially in the front seat. This provides the protection of seatbelts and permits the airbags to provide the additional protection they were

Supplementary Restraints System

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Deactivation Criteria (Excluding Canada)

WARNING: This vehicle has special energy management seatbelts for the driver and right front passenger. These particular seatbelts are specifically designed to work with airbags to help reduce the risk of injury in a crash. The energy management seatbelt gives or releases additional seatbelt webbing in some accidents to reduce the concentration of force on an occupant's chest and to reduce the risk of certain bone fractures and injuries to underlying organs. In a crash. if the airbag is off. this energy management seatbelt might permit the passenger wearing the seatbelt to move forward enough to have a serious or fatal injury. The more severe the crash. and the heavier the occupant. the greater the risk. Make sure the airbag is on for any passenger who does not qualify under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration deactivation criteria.

Supplementary Restraints System

Transport Canada Deactivation Criteria (Canada Only)

WARNING: This vehicle has special energy management seatbelts for the driver and right front passenger. These particular seatbelts are specifically designed to work with airbags to help reduce the risk of injury in a crash. The energy management seatbelt gives or releases additional seatbelt webbing in some accidents to reduce the concentration of force on an occupant's chest and to reduce the risk of certain bone fractures and injuries to underlying organs. In a crash. if the airbag is off. this energy management seatbelt might permit the passenger wearing the seatbelt to move forward enough to have a serious or fatal injury. The more severe the crash. and the heavier the occupant. the greater the risk. Make sure the airbag is on for any passenger who does not qualify under the Transport Canada deactivation criteria.

1. Infant: An infant (less than 1 year old) must ride in the front seat because:

My vehicle has no rear seat; The rear seat in my vehicle cannot accommodate a rear-facing infant seat; The infant has a medical condition which. according to the infant's physician. makes it necessary for the infant to ride in the front seat so that the driver can monitor the infant's condition.

2. Child age 12 or under: A child age 12 or under must ride in the front seat because:

My vehicle has no rear seat; Although children age 12 and under ride in the rear seat whenever possible. children age 12 and under have no option but to sometimes ride in the front seat because rear seat space is insufficient; The child has a medical condition that. according to the child's physician. makes it necessary for the child to ride in the front seat so that the driver can monitor the child's condition.

3. Medical condition: A passenger has a medical condition that. according to his or her physician:

Poses a special risk for the passenger if the airbag deploys; and Makes the potential harm from the passenger airbag deployment greater than the potential harm from turning off the airbag and experiencing a crash without the protection offered by the airbag

Proper Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment

WARNING: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between an occupant's chest and the driver airbag module.

To properly position yourself away from the airbag: Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably. Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright position.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Supplementary Restraints System

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seatbelts. it is very important that they continue to sit properly. Properly seated occupants sit upright. lean against the seat back. and center themselves on the seat cushion. with their feet comfortably extended on the floor. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury in a crash event. For example. if an occupant slouches. lies down. turns sideways. sits forward. leans forward or sideways. or puts one or both feet up. the chance of injury during a crash greatly increases.

Children and Airbags

WARNING: Do not place a rearward facing child restraint in front of an active airbag. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

E142846

Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in a crash.

If two adults and a child occupy a Regular Cab. properly restrain the child in the center front unless doing so would interfere with driving your vehicle. This provides lap and shoulder belt protection for all occupants. and airbag protection for the adults. A child or infant properly restrained in the center front seat should not incur risk of serious injury from the airbags.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag cover. on the side of the front or rear seatbacks. or in areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Accessory seat covers not released by Ford Motor Company could prevent the deployment of the airbags and increase the risk of injuries in a crash.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service. repair. or modify the supplementary restraint system or associated components. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness indicator.

See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 51).

The design and development of the side airbag system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.

SAFETY CANOPY

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying curtain airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The curtain airbag could injure you as it deploys from the headliner.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service. repair. or modify the supplementary restraint system or associated components. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: All occupants of your vehicle. including the driver. should always properly wear their seatbelts. even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided. Failure to properly wear your seatbelt could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury. do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the airbag.

Supplementary Restraints System

WARNING: If a supplementary restraint system component has deployed. it will not function again. Have the system and associated components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.

The Safety Canopy deploys during significant side crashes or when a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy is mounted to the roof side rail sheet metal. behind the headliner. above each row of seats. In certain sideways crashes or rollover events. the Safety Canopy will be activated. regardless of which seats are occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed to inflate between the side window area and occupants to further enhance protection provided in side impact crashes and rollover events.

E75004

The system consists of the following: Safety Canopy curtain airbags above the trim panels over the front and rear side windows identified by a label or wording on the headliner or roof-pillar trim. A flexible headliner which opens above the side doors to allow air curtain deployment

E67017

· Crash sensors and monitoring system with a readiness indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator (page 51).

Properly restrain children 12 years old and under in the rear seats. The Safety Canopy will not interfere with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the doors along the side window opening.

The design and development of the Safety Canopy included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags (including the Safety Canopy).

CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR

WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of your vehicle (including hood. bumper system. frame. front end body structure. tow hooks and hood pins) may affect the performance of the airbag system. increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify or add equipment to the front end of your vehicle.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors that provide information to the restraints control module which deploys (activates) the seatbelt pretensioners. driver airbag. passenger airbag. seat mounted side airbags. and the Safety Canopy. Based on the type of crash. the restraints control module deploy the appropriate safety devices.

Super Duty (TFE). enUSA. Edition date: 201909. Third-Printing

Supplementary Restraints System

The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

E67017

The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after you switch the ignition on.

The readiness light either flashes or stays lit. You hear a series of five beeps. The tone pattern repeats periodically until the problem. the light or both are repaired.

If any of these things happen. even intermittently. have the supplemental restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced. the system may not function properly in the event of a crash.

The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners or front airbags did not activate for both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather. it means the restraints control module determined the accident conditions (crash severity. belt usage) were not appropriate to activate these safety devices. The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and near-frontal crashes (not rollovers. side impacts or rear impacts unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration). The design of the seatbelt pretensioners is to activate in frontal. near-frontal and side crashes. and in rollovers.

The design of the side airbags is to inflate in certain side impact crashes.

Side airbags may activate in other types of crashes if the vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation. The design of the Safety Canopy is to inflate in certain side impact crashes or rollover events. The Safety Canopy may activate in other types of crashes if the vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation. or a certain likelihood of rollover.

AIRBAG DISPOSAL

Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Airbags must be disposed of by qualified personnel.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in the Exterior Front Lamps and Rear Lamps

Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents. there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs. a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are: The presence of a fine mist (no streaks. drip marks or large droplets). A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation are: A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks. drip marks or large droplets present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation. have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL

The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps. or street lighting ahead. the system turns the high beams off. Low beams remain on.
