cause severe engine/transmission and/or
exhaust system damage; refer to your
warranty information for more information.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
Thank you for choosing Ford. We
recommend that you take some time to
get to know your vehicle by reading this
manual. The more that you know about
your vehicle, the greater the safety and
pleasure you will get from driving it.
Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and
function somewhat differently than a
gasoline engine. Therefore it is very
important that you read and thoroughly
familiarize yourself and others operating
the vehicle with this guide. There is a
special procedure for turning off the diesel
engine. See Starting a Diesel Engine
(page 103). It is important to read and
understand this material in order to
maintain the best service life for your
engine.
WARNING: Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the
safe operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
Ford may discontinue models or change
specifications without any notice and
without incurring obligations.
Note: Either Ford Motor Company or an
authorized Ford dealer may have originally
sold this incomplete vehicle to a vehicle
modifier who upfitted it. As a result, some
of the options and features on this vehicle
may differ from what we describe in this
manual.
Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.
This manual may qualify the location of a
component as left-hand side or right-hand
side. The side is determined when facing
forward in the seat.
Note: Pass on this manual when selling
your vehicle. It is an integral part of your
vehicle.
Note: Your vehicle’s powertrain control
systems can detect and store information
about vehicle modifications that increase
horsepower and torque output such as
whether or not performance-enhancing
powertrain components commonly referred
to as performance chips have been used.
This information will stay in the system’s
memory and cannot be erased even if the
modification is removed. Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico
and service or repair facilities can retrieve
this information when servicing your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company may use this
information to determine if your warranty
covers any needed repairs.

Introduction
The fuel and water separator removes
both water and impurities from the fuel.
The engine-mounted filter filters finer
impurities from the diesel fuel. The
engine-mounted fuel filter and the
frame-mounted fuel filter should be
changed at the recommended service
interval or when indicated by the
information display LOW FUEL PRESSURE
message. See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 325).
The fuel and water separator should be
drained at regular intervals (recommended
at every oil change) or when indicated by
the information display and water in fuel
indicator light. See Fuel Quality (page
108).

Warnings
Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt
water draining when the water in fuel light
illuminates is essential to prevent injection
equipment damage. Ignoring the water in
fuel light or the information display
message WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER
can cause your vehicle to go into a reduced
power mode.
WARNING: Throughout this guide,
you will find warnings identified by the
warning symbol. Warnings remind you
to be especially careful to reduce the risk
of personal injury.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pump
located inside the fuel and water separator
draws fuel from the fuel tank to provide
pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel
pump contains a pressure relief valve for
overpressure protection in the event of
restricted flow.
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is a
pressurized two-stage filtration system
and consists of:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A frame-mounted Fuel and Water
Separator primary filter with an electric
fuel pump and water drain
An engine-mounted secondary fuel
filter
A fuel injector for each cylinder (8
total)
A high-pressure fuel pump
A high-pressure fuel rail for each
cylinder bank (2 total)
Numerous high-pressure pipes from
the high-pressure pump to the rails,
and rails to the injectors
The fuel injection system is controlled
through the powertrain control module.
Engine Protection Mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with
engine protection and emission control
systems. These systems monitor critical
temperatures and pressures, and modify
engine operation accordingly. These
modified engine performance
characteristics are normal.

2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Introduction
If these modified engine performance
characteristics persist for an extended
period and either the service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction, reduced power,
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to
reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) that you must replenish at
certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper
DEF levels or if the DEF becomes
contaminated will result in vehicle speed
limitations or result in your vehicle entering
an idle-only mode. See Selective
Catalytic Reductant System (page 120).

Powertrain malfunction, reduced
power, electronic throttle control
Diesel Lubrication System
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
It is important to change the engine oil at
the recommended service intervals or
when indicated by the information display
to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil
and filter change interval beyond the
recommended interval can negatively
affect engine performance, fuel economy
and engine life. See Engine Oil Check
(page 227).
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING: Battery posts,
terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,
do not go on at all or when the ignition is
turned to the start position, the lights
become dim or go out, the battery
connections may be loose or corroded, or
the battery may be discharged. If there is
a clicking or stuttering sound coming from
the engine compartment when you turn
the key to the start position, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery
connection.
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primary
cooling loop to cool the engine and a
secondary cooling loop to cool the
transmission, charge air, and fuel. The
coolant serves three primary purposes: to
provide heat transfer, freeze point
protection, and corrosion protection using
additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are
used to carry heavy loads and accumulate
mileage rapidly. These two factors may
cause the additives in the coolant to wear
out in a shorter time. You can find more
information about coolant additives and
coolant change intervals in the coolant
chapter. See General Maintenance
Information (page 325). Operating the
engine with insufficient coolant or coolant
additive can cause severe engine damage.
Check the battery connections at the
battery posts, cable connection to the
engine grounding point and at the starter
connection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, have
it checked and corrected.

The gearshift lever must be in P (Park)
or N (Neutral) in order for the starter
to operate.
Try operating the starter switch several
times. This operation may clean
potentially corroded contacts or make
the switch temporarily operable until
you can reach the dealer.
If all electrical connections are tight
and you need assistance to start, See
Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 190).

If fuses burn out
If engine cranks but won’t start
WARNING: Replacement fuses and
circuit breakers must always be the
same rating as the original equipment
shown. Never replace a fuse or circuit
breaker with one of a higher rating.
Higher rated fuses or circuit breakers
could allow circuit overloading in the
event of a circuit malfunction, resulting
in severe vehicle damage or personal
injury due to fire.
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10
seconds) could cause damage to the
starter motor or the high-pressure fuel
pump.
•
•
Check the fuel gauge. You may be out
of fuel. If the gauge shows that there
is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be
in the electrical system or the fuel
system. If equipped with an auxiliary
tank, be sure that the tank control
switch is set for the tank with fuel and
not on an empty tank.
Leaving your ignition key turned to on
for over two minutes without starting
may make starting difficult because
the glow plugs will cease activation.
Reset the system by turning the ignition
key to off and then back to on again.
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate
an electrical short-circuit, although a fuse
may occasionally burn out from vibration.
Insert a second fuse. If this fuse
immediately burns out and you cannot
locate the cause, return your vehicle to
your dealer for a circuit check. See
Changing a Fuse (page 211).
Selective catalytic reduction system
speed limit and Idle-only modes
Note: If the system is out of fuel and the
engine will not start, do not continue
cranking the engine. Continued cranking can
damage the high-pressure fuel pump.
If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an
idle-only mode, the selective catalytic
reduction system may be limiting the
vehicle’s functions due to low or
contaminated DEF. Check the DEF. See
Selective Catalytic Reductant System
(page 120).

Introduction
Use of your light truck as an ambulance,
without the Ford Ambulance Preparation
Package voids the Ford New Vehicle
Limited Warranty and may void the
emissions warranties. In addition,
ambulance usage without the preparation
package could cause high underbody
temperatures, over-pressurized fuel and a
risk of spraying fuel, which could lead to
fires.
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.
If your vehicle has the Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package, it is indicated on the
Safety Compliance Certification Label. The
label is on the driver side door pillar or on
the rear edge of the driver door. You can
determine whether the ambulance
manufacturer followed our
recommendations by directly contacting
that manufacturer.
Before you drive your vehicle, please read
this Owner’s Guide carefully. Your vehicle
is not a passenger car. As with other
vehicles of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury or death.
Using Your Vehicle With a
Snowplow
MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT
Do not use this vehicle for
snowplowing.
Your vehicle does not have a snowplowing
package.
WARNING: Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that may
take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
Using Your Vehicle as an
Ambulance
If your light truck has the Ford Ambulance
Preparation Package, it may be utilized as
an ambulance. We urge ambulance
manufacturers to follow the
recommendations of our Incomplete
Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder’s
Layout Book and the Qualified Vehicle
Modifiers (QVM) Guidelines as well as
pertinent supplements. For additional
information, please contact the Truck Body
Builders Advisory Service at

www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada, contact
Transport Canada toll free at
1-800-333-0371 or go to www.tc.gc.ca
to find a Child Car Seat Clinic in your
area. Failure to properly restrain children
in child restraints made especially for
their height, age and weight, may result
in an increased risk of serious injury or
death to your child.
See the following sections for directions
on how to properly use safety restraints
for children.
WARNING: Always make sure your
child is secured properly in a device that
is appropriate for their height, age and
weight. Child safety restraints must be
bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and
guidelines may result in an increased risk
of serious injury or death to your child.
WARNING: All children are shaped
differently. The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration and other safety
organizations, base their
recommendations for child restraints on
probable child height, age and weight
thresholds, or on the minimum
requirements of the law. We recommend
that you check with a NHTSA Certified
Child Passenger Safety Technician
WARNING: On hot days, the
temperature inside the vehicle can rise
very quickly. Exposure of people or
animals to these high temperatures for
even a short time can cause death or
serious heat related injuries, including
brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk.

Child
Child Size, Height, Weight, or Age
Recommended Restraint
Type
Infants or
toddlers
Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less
(generally age four or younger).
Use a child restraint
(sometimes called an
infant carrier, convertible
seat, or toddler seat).
Small children
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

by child restraint manufacturer).
•
•
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.

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.
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.
Child Safety
INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
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.
Child Restraints
When installing a child restraint with
seatbelts:
• Use the correct seatbelt buckle for that
seating position.
• Insert the belt tongue into the proper
buckle until the latch engages. Make
sure the tongue is securely fastened in
the buckle.
• Keep the buckle release button
pointing up and away from the child
restraint, with the tongue between the
child restraint and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.
• Place the vehicle seat in the upright
position before you install the child
restraint.
• This vehicle does not require the use
of a locking clip.
E142594
Use a child restraint, sometimes called an
infant carrier, convertible seat, or toddler
seat, for infants, toddlers, or children
weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally
age four or younger).
Using Seatbelts
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.
Perform the following steps when
installing the child restraint with seatbelts:
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.
Note: Although the child restraint
illustrated is a forward facing child restraint,
the steps are the same for installing a rear
facing child restraint.

E142533
8. 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.
9. If the child restraint has a tether strap,
attach it.
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
5. While pushing down with your knee on
the child restraint, pull up on the
shoulder belt portion to tighten the lap
belt portion of the seat belt.
6. Allow the seatbelt to retract and
remove any slack in the belt to securely
tighten the child restraint in the vehicle.

The Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) system has three
vehicle anchor points:
•
•
Two lower anchors where the vehicle
seat backrest and seat cushion meet,
called the seat bight.
One top tether anchor behind that
seating position.
Your vehicle does not have the lower
anchor points in the seat bight. For this
vehicle, use the vehicle seatbelt and upper
tether to secure a 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 child restraints.

Attaching the Tether Strap
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.
1.
Route the child restraint tether strap
over the back of the seat.
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. If
the top of the child restraint hits the head
restraint, raise the head restraint to let the
child restraint fit further rearward.
The passenger seats of your vehicle may
have built-in tether strap anchors behind
the seats as described below.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle
are in the following positions:
Regular Cab
2. Locate the correct anchor for the

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.
•
Always use booster seats in conjunction
with your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.
Types of Booster Seats
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).
E68924
•
Booster seats should be used until you can
answer YES to ALL of these questions
when seated without a booster seat:
33
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
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?
Backless booster seats
Child Safety
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.
•
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.

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.
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.
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.
CHILD RESTRAINT
POSITIONING
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure
a child in a child seat. Never place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an active
airbag. If you must use a forward-facing
child seat in the front seat, move the
vehicle seat upon which the child seat is
installed all the way back. When
possible, all children age 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a rear
seating position. If all children cannot be
seated and restrained properly in a rear
seating position, properly restrain the
largest child in the front seat.
WARNING: Never let a passenger
hold a child on his or her lap while your
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a crash,
which may result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING: Never use pillows,
books, or towels to boost a child. They
can slide around and increase the
likelihood of injury or death in a crash.

Child Safety
WARNING: Always restrain an
unoccupied child seat or booster seat.
These objects may become projectiles
in a crash or sudden stop, which may
increase the risk of serious injury.
WARNING: Never place, or allow
a child to place, the shoulder belt under
a child's arm or behind the back because
it reduces the protection for the upper
part of the body and may increase the
risk of injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: To avoid risk of injury,
do not leave children or pets unattended
in your vehicle.

Seatbelts
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Each seating position
in your vehicle has a specific safety belt
assembly which is made up of one
buckle and one tongue that are designed
to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder
belt on the outside shoulder only. Never
wear the shoulder belt under the arm. 2)
Never swing the safety belt around your
neck over the inside shoulder. 3) Never
use a single belt for more than one
person.
WARNING: Always drive and ride
with the seat backrest upright and the
lap belt snug and low across the hips.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, make sure children sit where they
can be properly restrained.
WARNING: Never let a passenger
hold a child on his or her lap while your
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a crash
which may result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING: When possible, all
children 12 years old and under should
be properly restrained in a rear seating
position. Failure to follow this could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
WARNING: All occupants of the
vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their safety belts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your safety belt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
WARNING: Safety belts and seats
can become hot in a vehicle that has
been closed up in sunny weather; they
could burn a small child. Check seat
covers and buckles before you place a
child anywhere near them.
WARNING: Front and rear seat
occupants, including pregnant women,
should wear safety belts for optimum
protection in an accident.
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
safety belts. Be sure everyone in your
vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt
properly.
All seating positions in this vehicle have
lap and shoulder safety belts. All
occupants of the vehicle should always
properly wear their safety belts, even when
an airbag supplemental restraint system
is provided.
WARNING: In a rollover crash, an
unbelted person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wearing a
safety belt.
The safety belt system consists of:
• Lap and shoulder safety belts.
• Shoulder safety belt with automatic
locking mode, (except driver safety
belt).

belt and pull across your lap until it reaches
the buckle. To tighten the belt, pull the
loose end of the belt through the tongue
until it fits snugly across the hips.
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 will become locked and
help reduce your forward movement.

Using Seatbelts During Pregnancy
The safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The
driver seatbelt has the first type of locking
mode. The front outboard passenger and
rear outboard seat seatbelts have both
types of locking modes described as
follows:
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.
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
or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle
receives an impact of about 5 mph
(8 km/h) or more, the combination
seatbelts will 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.
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 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.
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.
WARNING: Never use seatbelt
extensions to install child restraints.
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.
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 262).

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.

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.
Headlamp High Beam
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

Low Fuel Reminder
Indicates engine oil pressure. At normal
operating temperature, the level indicator
is in the normal range. If the pressure gauge
falls below the normal range, stop your
vehicle, switch 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.
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but
also increase or stay constant for periods
of time.
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

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.
Special operating conditions such as
snowplowing, towing, or off-road use may
cause higher than normal operating
temperatures. See Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page 335).
Fuel Gauge
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.
To lower the transmission temperature
into the normal range, alter the severity of
your driving conditions. Operating the
transmission for extended periods with the
gauge in the higher than normal area may
cause internal transmission damage. If the
gauge continues to show high
temperatures, see an authorized dealer.
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly

locations:
• On the instrument panel (two
locations).
• Inside the front under-seat storage
compartment.
• Inside the rear under-seat storage
compartment.
WARNING: Do not plug optional
electrical accessories into the cigar
lighter socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.
Note: When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt

Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
WARNING: Do not keep electrical
devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due
to powering multiple devices that can
reach beyond the 150 watt load limit and
could result in fire or serious injury.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Note: The power point turns off when you
switch the ignition off, or when the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.
Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the power point and may blow
the fuse.
You can use the power point for electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is
in the center of the instrument panel.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.
E193395

Auxiliary Power Points
When the indicator light on the power point
is:
• On: The power point is working, the
ignition is on and a device is plugged
in.
• Off: The power point is off, the ignition
is off or no device is plugged in.
• Flashing: The power point is in fault
mode.
The power outlet temporarily turns off
power when in fault mode if the device
exceeds the 150 watt limit. Unplug your
device and switch the ignition off. Switch
the ignition back on, but do not plug your
device back in. Let the system cool off and
switch the ignition off to reset the fault
mode. Switch the ignition back on and
make sure the indicator light remains on.
Do not use the power point for certain
electric devices, including:
• Cathode-ray, tube-type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools or compressor-driven
refrigerators.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment or measuring equipment.
• Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply such as

Starting and Stopping the Engine
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
could exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation.
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.
If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snow
storm or blowing snow conditions, the
engine air induction could become partially
clogged with snow and ice. If this occurs,
the engine could experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest
opportunity, clear all the snow and ice
away from the air induction inlet.
WARNING: Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
IGNITION SWITCH
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.

coolant temperature, barometric pressure
sensor and environmental temperature
sensor, determines how long the glow
plugs stay energized. The required time for
the glow plugs to be energized decreases
as the coolant temperature, barometric
pressure and environmental temperature
increase.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and leave the
engine idling for long periods of time, we
recommend you either open the windows
at least 1 in (3 cm) or set the climate
control to outside air.
Before starting the engine, check the
following:
• Make sure all occupants fasten their
seatbelt.
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
• Turn the ignition key to the on position.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully
before you start your vehicle.
The 6.7L diesel engine incorporates a delay
between a crank command and starter
engagement to crank the engine. This
delay ensures robust starting performance
in all environmental conditions including
extreme cold. The crank command is
initiated by the operator by turning the
ignition key. The delay varies with engine
coolant temperature. There is no delay for
hot coolant temperature. The delay
increases at colder coolant temperatures.
Maximum delay of 2.5 seconds is
experienced below -13.0°F (-25°C).
Note: Do not press the accelerator during
starting.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Turn the key to the start position to
start the engine. Release the key when
the engine starts.

Starting and Stopping the Engine
Cold Weather Starting
When starting the engine in extremely cold
temperatures, for example -15°F (-26°C),
we recommend you allow the engine to
idle for several minutes before driving your
vehicle.
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.
Illuminates when you switch the
ignition on as part of the
pre-starting system.
WARNING: Do not mix diesel with
gasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This could
cause an explosion.
1.
Turn the key to the on position without
turning the key to the start position. Do
not start the engine until the wait to
start indicator turns off.
2. When the wait to start indicator turns
off, turn the key to the start position
and release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Once the engine starts,
the glow plugs may remain on for a
period. If you attempt to start the
engine before the glow plug activation
time ends, but it fails to start, reset the
glow plugs by turning the key to the off
position.
3. Once the engine starts, allow it to idle
for about 15 seconds. This is to protect
the engine. Do not increase engine
speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
We recommend using the engine block
heater for starting when the ambient
temperature is at or below -9°F (-23°C).
See Engine Block Heater (page 105).
When operating in cold weather, you can
use Motorcraft® cetane improvers or
non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from
a reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10
seconds as starter damage may occur. If
the engine fails to start, turn the key to the
off position and wait 30 seconds before
trying again.
Your vehicle may come with a cold
weather starting strategy that prevents
severe engine damage by assisting in
engine lubrication warm-up. In extremely
cold ambient temperatures, this strategy
activates and prevents the accelerator
pedal use for 30 seconds after starting
your vehicle. A message appears in the
information display as your vehicle warms
up. By not allowing the accelerator pedal
use, the engine oil can properly lubricate
the bearings preventing engine damage
due to lack of proper lubrication. After the
30 second warm-up period, the
accelerator pedal is operational again and
a message appears informing you that your
vehicle is ready to drive.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to five
minutes before shutting it down. The larger
the engine, the greater the need is for this
idling period.
Note: Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes.
Excessive idling reduces fuel economy.

Starting and Stopping the Engine
The engine idle shutdown timer does not
start if:
• The engine is operating in battery
charge protect or power take-off mode.
• The exhaust emission control device is
regenerating.
ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING: In the event of engine
shutdown, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and the problem is
resolved before returning to the road.
Failure to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
This feature automatically shuts down the
engine when it has been idling in park (P)
or neutral (N) for an extended period,
depending on the setting.
WARNING: Failure to follow engine
block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.
When the engine idle shutdown process
has started:
• A chime sounds and a message
appears in the information display
showing a timer counting down from
30 seconds.
• You can reset the timer by pressing the
brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or by
shifting into another gear.
• If you do not intervene within 30
seconds, the engine shuts down and a
message appears in the information
display alerting you that the engine has
shut down.
• Shortly after the engine has shut down,
the electrical system simulates a key
off and even though the ignition is still
on, the electrical system simulates a
normal accessory delay period before
shutting down.
• You must switch the ignition off to
reset the system before restarting your
vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.
Note: The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.

Starting and Stopping the Engine
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
• Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.
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.
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.

Fuel and Refueling
Observe the following guidelines when
handling automotive fuel:
• Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your
vehicle.
• Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as
gasoline is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If swallowed, call a
physician immediately, even if no
symptoms are immediately apparent.
The toxic effects of fuel may not be
visible for hours.
• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too
much fuel vapor of any kind can lead
to eye and respiratory tract irritation.
In severe cases, excessive or prolonged
breathing of fuel vapor can cause
serious illness and permanent injury.
• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If
you splash fuel in your eyes, remove
contact lenses (if worn), flush with
water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention. Failure to seek proper
medical attention could lead to
permanent injury.
• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. If you splash fuel on
your skin, clothing or both, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and
wash your skin thoroughly with soap
and water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes
skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are taking
“Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiram
for the treatment of alcoholism.
Breathing gasoline vapors, or skin
contact could cause an adverse
reaction. In sensitive individuals, serious
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: Fuels can cause serious
injury or death if misused or mishandled.
WARNING: Gasoline 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.
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: 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.

personal injury or sickness may result.
If you splash fuel on your skin, promptly
wash your skin thoroughly with soap
and water. Consult a physician
immediately if you experience an
adverse reaction.
•
Low Fuel Pressure (If Equipped)
Diesel engine vehicles have a low fuel
pressure detection system.
•
The following are possible causes for a low
fuel pressure warning message to appear
in the information display:
• Cold start or during cold operation
below 32°F (0°C). If the low fuel
pressure message appears during a
cold start or up to 10 minutes after the
initial cold start, monitor the
information display. If the low fuel
pressure message disappears and does
not re-appear after the engine has fully
warmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is
what most likely caused the message.
Do not use alcohol based additives to
correct fuel gelling. This may result in
damage to the fuel injectors and
systems. Use an anti-gel additive. See
Fuel Quality (page 108).
•
Low fuel operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears when your
vehicle is warm and during low fuel
tank level operation (near empty),
refuel your vehicle. If the message
reappears after fueling, see below. If
the message does not come back, the
low fuel pressure condition was due to
low fuel levels in the fuel tank.
Normal operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears during
normal operation when the engine is
fully warm, and fuel level is not low,
you must change the fuel filters
regardless of the maintenance
schedule interval.
If replacement of the fuel filter does
not remedy the low fuel pressure
message during normal operation as
defined above, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer.

Fuel and Refueling
Note: Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel will
significantly increase your vehicle’s exhaust
emissions and reduce engine life due to
increased internal wear.
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.
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.
E67028
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel market that are subsequently
exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the
customer’s expense using Ford authorized
dealer service parts) in order to be reliably
operated on non- ultra low sulfur diesel
fuel.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it is
recommended to use a diesel fuel which
has been seasonally adjusted for the
ambient conditions.
Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
Is Not Required
Biodiesel
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.
WARNING: Do not mix diesel with
gasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This could
cause an explosion.
Note: Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils, waste
cooking greases, biodiesel fuels greater than
20% or any diesel fuel not intended for
highway use. Red dye is used to identify
fuels intended for agricultural and
non-highway use. Damage to the fuel
injection system, engine and exhaust
catalyst can occur if an improper fuel is
used.
You may operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
109
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Fuel and Refueling
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
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.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
• Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with industry standards
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 325).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than 1 month
• Consider changing brands or reducing
biodiesel content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling issues or a
frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE
message appearing
• Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste
cooking greases
Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than
diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and
should not be stored in the fuel tank for
more than 1 month. If you plan to park or
store your vehicle for more than 1 month,
then you should empty your vehicle fuel
tank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill the
tank with a pure petroleum-based diesel
fuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of
30 minutes.
Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
damage fuel system seals and plastics and
corrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problems
operating on biodiesel, you may need to
use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel
content, try another brand, or discontinue
the use of biodiesel.
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.
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.
SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil is
recommended for fuels with greater than
5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Special
operating conditions section under the
Schedule Maintenance chapter for more
information about oil change intervals and
other maintenance when operating on
biodiesel.
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.
110
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Fuel and Refueling
Do not use alcohol-based additives to
improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel
gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol
additives may result in damage to the fuel
injectors and system.
Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
The Vehicle Warranty may not cover
repairs needed to correct the effects of
using an aftermarket product that does
not meet Ford specifications in your fuel.

Choosing the Right Fuel
Do not use:
• Diesel fuel.
• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
• Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.
• Fuels containing methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based

• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
• Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.
E161513
Your vehicle is designed to operate on
regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
We do not recommend these fuels. For
best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer
(page 181).
The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
as MMT), which is a manganese-based
fuel additive, will impair engine
performance and affect the emission

Fuel and Refueling
If you run out of fuel:
• You may need to switch the ignition
from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to
pump the fuel from the tank to the
engine. When restarting, cranking time
takes a few seconds longer than
normal. With keyless ignition, just start
the engine. Crank time will be longer
than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If the
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may be
required.
• The service engine soon indicator may
come on. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 67).
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL DIESEL
Avoid running out of fuel. This allows air to
enter the fuel system and may make it
difficult to restart your vehicle.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
• Normally adding 4–5 gal (15–19 L) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more than 5 gal (19 L)
may be required.
• You must purge trapped air from the
system before restarting the engine.
Purging Air From the System
Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds and
then switch the ignition off. Repeat this
operation six times in a row to purge any
trapped air from the fuel system.
REFUELING - DIESEL
Any remaining air in the system self-purges
when the engine starts. The engine may
run rough or produce white smoke when
air remains in the fuel system. This is
normal and stops after a short period. If
the engine continues to run rough, have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
WARNING: Fuel vapor burns
violently and a fuel fire can cause severe
injuries.
WARNING: Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island.
Starting the Engine
Do not crank the engine for more than 10
seconds as starter damage may occur. If
the engine fails to start, switch the ignition
off and wait 30 seconds before cranking
the engine again. See Starting a Diesel

Filling the Fuel Tank
When your vehicle has stopped, shift
into neutral (N) or park (P).
Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
Turn the fuel filler cap
counterclockwise and remove it.
Refuel your vehicle as required.
Replace the fuel filler cap, turn it
clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
For consistent results when refueling:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
• Allow no more than one automatic
shut-off when refueling.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster,
you may not have installed the fuel filler
cap correctly.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
If the fuel cap warning lamp 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 warning lamp or warning 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.
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
your engine’s break-in period). A more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi
(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency
of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not
accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
Calculating Fuel Economy
1.
Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record
the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel
tank and record the current odometer
reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading
from the current odometer reading.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
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.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per
gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
traveled by gallons used.
Note: The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range.

Engine Emission Control
Tampering With a Noise Control
System
EMISSION LAW
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.
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.
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.
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.
E67028
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.

•
Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.
Incorrect engine oil viscosity for
climactic conditions.
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.
Note: Some vehicles have a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
Note: If these checks do not help you
correct the concern, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards.
Noise Emissions Warranty,
Prohibited Tampering Acts and
Maintenance
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 190).
• 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.
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation
became effective governing the noise
emission on trucks over 10,000 lb
(4,536 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 (4,536 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.
Note: Resulting component damage may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
The scheduled maintenance items listed
in scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle and to its emissions system.
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.
If you use anything other than Ford,
Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for
maintenance replacements or for service
of components affecting emission control,
such non-Ford parts should be equivalent
to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in
performance and durability.

Engine Emission Control
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.
1.
Your vehicle has run out of fuel—the
engine may misfire or run poorly.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the
fuel—the engine may misfire or run
poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have closed
properly. See Refueling (page 112).
4. Driving through deep water—the
electrical system may be wet.
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.
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. No additional vehicle
service is required.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
E67028
If the service engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb does
not work, your vehicle may need
service. See On-Board Diagnostics.
E67028
119
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Engine Emission Control
Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if
the service engine soon indicator is on or
not working properly (bulb is burned out),
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.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTANT SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalytic
reduction system. This 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.
If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has
just been serviced, or the battery has
recently run down or been replaced, 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.
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.
The system has a sensor to monitor fluid
level and quality/concentration. 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 75).
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:
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Tank
1.
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.
2. 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.
WARNING: Keep diesel exhaust
fluid out of reach of children. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. 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.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M
testing, you need to repeat the above
driving cycle.

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
may cause spilling and overfill and can
cause damage to the tank in freezing
conditions.

2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank
filler cap.
3. Insert the spout into the filler neck until
the seal on the spout seats onto the
filler neck. Pour the fluid into the tank.
When the tank is full the fluid stops. In
case of direct fill tank, the spout does
not seal against the fill tank interface
and does not stop the flowing
automatically.
4. 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
into the container.
5. Remove the spout from the diesel
exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the
diesel exhaust fluid tank cap.
6. Remove the spout from the diesel
exhaust fluid container and replace the

Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in
the container retain it for later use. The
spout is reusable. Wash the spout with
clean water prior to storage. Do not use the
diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other
fluid.
Note: If the diesel exhaust fluid tank is
frozen, it may not recognize when the tank
is refilled. The diesel exhaust fluid level
updates once the tank thaws out.
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
becomes limited to engine idle only once
stopped. In these conditions, be cautious
where you stop your vehicle because you
may not be able to drive long distances
or maintain highway speeds until you
refill or replace the diesel exhaust fluid.
Note: Drain and replace diluted diesel
exhaust fluid.
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).
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in
Cold Climates
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 75).
Diesel exhaust fluid freezes 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 freezes. If the tank is
overfilled and the fluid freezes it may
damage the tank. This is not covered by

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

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. Do not add fuel or any
additive to the diesel exhaust fluid tank. 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.
Note: For vehicle speed limiting or idle-only
condition, normal vehicle operation resumes
when you repair the contaminated system.
To service a contaminated or inoperative
system, see an authorized dealer.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
A warning lamp illuminates and
a message appears in the
E163176
information display if the system
becomes contaminated or inoperative.
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, except larger,
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. Periodically, you
need to clean the soot that gathers inside
the filter. You can clean the soot in two
different ways, passive regeneration and
active regeneration. Both methods occur
124
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Engine Emission Control
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,
various messages related to the diesel
particulate filter appear in the information
displays.
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.
Oxidation Catalytic Converter and
Diesel Particulate Filter System (If
Equipped)
Passive Regeneration
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.
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.
Diesel Particulate Filter Maintenance
You must properly maintain your vehicle's
diesel particulate filter in order for it to
function properly.
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).
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.

Engine Emission Control
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
shows a cleaning exhaust filter message,
which is the normal regeneration process.
You can also choose operator commanded
regeneration to clean the exhaust system
at this point. See Information Messages
(page 75).
When to Carry Out Operator Commanded
Regeneration
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.
1. Park the vehicle in an outdoor location.
2. Fully raise the vehicle hood. The hood
should remain up for the entire
regeneration process.
3. Start the DPF Service Regeneration
procedure on the vehicle. The DPF
regeneration cycle should take
approximately 30 minutes to
complete.
You can use the operator commanded
regeneration feature when a message
appears in the information display only.
When viewing the Exhaust Filter Status
message - Exhaust Filter XX% and the
diesel particulate filter message indicates

How to Run Multiple Regeneration Cycles
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
only when the diesel particulate filter is full
(100%). If you are not sure whether your
vehicle has this feature, contact an
authorized dealer.

4. After the DPF Service Regeneration
procedure completes:
• If the vehicle’s soot level is at an
acceptable level, close the hood.
The vehicle is ready to be driven.
• If the vehicle’s soot level remains
higher than desired, let the vehicle
idle for a minimum of 30 minutes
(hood remains fully open). After
the 30 minutes have passed,
initiate the second DPF
regeneration procedure. It is very
unlikely that more than 2
regeneration cycles will be required,
but if additional cycles are
necessary, allow for a 30-minute
vehicle idle (hood up) to occur
between regeneration cycles.
5. Once all DPF regeneration cycles are
complete, close the hood. The vehicle
is ready to be driven.
Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:
• Shift into park (P) or if you have an
RNDM selector shift into neutral (N)
and apply the parking and or air 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

Operator Commanded Regeneration
Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position
WARNING: Stay clear of the
exhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hot
exhaust gases can burn you badly.
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: 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.
WARNING: Stay clear of the
exhaust tailpipe during regeneration. Hot
exhaust gases can burn you badly.
You may not be able to use
operator commanded
regeneration if the service engine
soon warning lamp appears in the
information display
E67028
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.

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.
Start your vehicle engine and when it has
reached the normal operating temperature,
arrow through the display to get to the
Diesel Particulate Filter Status on the
Truck Info tab. Exhaust Filter XX%/FULL
displays. Operator commanded
regeneration can only be initiated when
FULL See Information Display Control
(page 53). If a message advising that the
exhaust filter is full appears in the
information display, press and hold the OK
button to initiate Exhaust Cleaning. If
successful, a second prompt appears
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. If
the exhaust system meets the position
requirements then press and hold the OK
button to fully activate the Operator
Commanded Regeneration. The display
confirms the operation has started and
when it has finished.
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.
You can also drive to clean the filter.
Switching Automatic Regeneration
Control On and Off
When the system is at the point
E67028
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.
To switch operator commanded
regeneration on and off, use the
information display control on the steering
wheel. See Information Display Control
(page 53). Scroll through the Settings tab
to ensure there is a check in the box next
to Auto Regeneration, this means it is
active. To deactivate Auto Regeneration,
uncheck the box. A message appears “Auto
Exhaust Cleaning Off” along with an icon
indicating that Auto Exhaust Cleaning is
disabled. The icon stays illuminated until
you switch Auto Exhaust Cleaning back on
by checking the box.
Once operator commanded regeneration
starts, engine speed increases to
approximately 1200 rpm and the cooling
fan speed may increase. 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

How to Interrupt or Cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
Resonator and Tailpipe Assembly
Maintenance
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.
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.
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 250,000 mi (400,000 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

Rear Axle
GENERAL INFORMATION
2-SPEED REAR AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Exceeding these ratings
by overloading can cause component
failure resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never shift a
two-speed axle when descending a
steep grade as this may cause loss of
vehicle control and result in personal
injury.
Fluid Temperature
Note: Do not shift between ranges when
the speed control is on.
If the operating temperature exceeds
250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubrication
oxidation increases and shortens the life
of the lubricant and seals, requiring axle
lubrication changes to become more
frequent to preserve the axle. Do not
consistently run extreme pressure (EP)
lubricants above 250°F (121°C).
A two-speed rear axle allows the driver to
select a low range for greater pulling power
and a high range for greater road speed
and fuel economy. You can also use these
ranges to provide extra steps between
transmission shifts when driving on steep
grades or fuel economy may be factors.
Axle Conversions
Axle Shifting
WARNING: When operating a
loaded vehicle, the driver must keep all
adjustable axles on the ground at all
times, supporting their share of the
vehicle’s load. Failure to do so can
overload other axles, tires, wheels,
springs, steering components, brakes
and frames, resulting in early component
failure, loss of vehicle control, possible
property damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,
performing axle conversions. However, we
understand that, on occasion, others install
aftermarket add-on axles on the truck
chassis that allow operator control for
weight transfer from other axles (such as
air lift axles).
E208228
Note: Do not shift the axle to LOW when
your vehicle is moving. Use LOW when you
drive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe grade
or in congested traffic. Use HIGH for all
normal driving conditions with a lightly
loaded or partially loaded vehicle.
Note: The axle is set to HIGH by default.
To shift the axle between HIGH and LOW
with the vehicle stopped, place the
transmission in position N, then press and
hold the button for two seconds.

Pneumatic Locking Differential
WHAT IS THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
PNEUMATIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
The pneumatic locking differential can lock
or unlock the differential when the vehicle
is moving or stopped. The differential lock
provides full power to both wheels when
extra traction is required.
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.
HOW DOES THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
WARNING: Failure to raise all drive
wheels with this type of differential could
cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly,
resulting in property damage, personal
injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
pneumatic locking differential:
•
•
Power is transmitted to the opposite
wheel should one of the wheels begin
to slip.
Raise both wheels off the ground if it
becomes necessary to operate one
wheel with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING: Sudden acceleration
on slippery surfaces could cause the
wheels to spin, the vehicle to turn
sideways on a crowned road surface or
in a turn, possibly resulting in loss of
vehicle control and personal injury.
The differential can be locked or unlocked
when the vehicle is moving at a constant
speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) and
while the wheels are not slipping. Do not
lock the differential when the vehicle is
traveling down steep grades and traction
is minimal.
SWITCHING THE PNEUMATIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF
Press and hold the button on the dash to
turn the system on or off.
Note: Do not use the differential lock at
vehicle speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the differential is locked, the
vehicle’s turning radius increases causing
understeer.
The differential lock and differential lock
light automatically disengage at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h). The differential
lock remains off until the vehicle is
restarted or the differential lock switch is
turned off then back on.

Brakes
Brake Over Accelerator
GENERAL INFORMATION
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. Move 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
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 as soon as possible. If the
vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder
in the steering wheel while braking, have the
system checked as soon as possible.
All standard equipment brakes are
self-adjusting. Automatic adjustment,
when required, occurs whenever you apply
and release the brakes during forward or
reverse operation.
Anti-lock Brake System
Know the required stopping distances for
all driving conditions you may encounter.
For longer brake lining life, take full
advantage of engine braking power when
coming to a stop.
This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.
If the light does not illuminate
during start up, remains on or
flashes, the system may be
disabled. It also momentarily illuminates
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.
E67020
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.
If the brakes do not grip well:
• Check brake adjustment.
• Check the brake linings for excessive
wear.
• Check the system air pressure on
vehicles with air brakes.
• Let the brakes cool if you have been
using them excessively, as in mountain
driving or after several fast, high-speed
stops.
• If you have been driving through deep
water, gently apply the brakes several
times while your vehicle is moving
slowly.
If you connect a PLC trailer with
the ignition on, the trailer ABS
light also illuminates. If the light
fails to illuminate, if it remains on after you
start the vehicle or continues to flash, have
the system serviced immediately.

Push the palm release lever (A) on the
parking brake handle (B) and push down
as far as possible to release the brake.
Driving with the parking brake on causes
the brakes to wear out quickly and reduces
fuel economy.
WARNING: This control is for
parking only. Do not leave the vehicle
unattended after setting the parking
brake without placing the transmission
in park (P). We recommend using wheel
chocks for hilly or off-road
circumstances.
We recommend you not use the parking
brake to stop a moving vehicle. However,
if the normal brakes fail, you can use the
parking brake to stop your vehicle in an
emergency. Since the parking brake only
applies retardation to the rear wheels, the
vehicle's stopping distance increases
greatly and the handling of your vehicle is
adversely affected.
If the service brakes fail to operate while
your vehicle is moving, you can make an
emergency stop with the parking brake.
Since the parking brake only applies
stopping power to the rear wheels, your
vehicle’s stopping distance greatly
increases and the handling of your vehicle
is adversely affected. Make repairs
immediately to an inoperative air brake
system circuit.

in reduction or loss of braking ability.
E210336
Periodically check the air pressure gauge
while driving. Pressure should range
between approximately 100 psi (690 kPa)
to 130 psi (896 kPa). The air compressor
governor cut-in and cutout pressure
settings are set at the factory and cannot
be adjusted.
WARNING: Do not drive or continue
to drive if the low air pressure buzzer is
sounding or the brake warning light is lit.
These warnings indicate that air pressure
is not to normal operating level.
Continued use of the vehicle could result
in loss of braking ability.
When air pressure is insufficient
(below 60 psi (414 kPa)), a
E206772
warning light illuminates and a
buzzer sounds when the ignition is on. This
may happen because excessive brake
applications are depleting the system air
pressure. If this condition occurs, stop
driving your vehicle until the compressor
has fully recharged the air system.
WARNING: Avoid repeated light
application of the brake pedal. This
depletes air pressure faster and could
result in loss of braking capability.
WARNING: Do not move the
vehicle when the air pressure is
insufficient because the brake system
may be inoperative.
Select a gear ratio to help slow your vehicle
before descending grades. Supplementing
with brakes, as required, helps safely slow
the vehicle and avoids overspeeding the
engine.
After starting the engine, allow time for the
air compressor to build air pressure to
60 psi (414 kPa) before moving your
vehicle.

Brakes
Note: Installing an exhaust or auxiliary
brake does not necessarily protect the
engine from exceeding the maximum
governed speed. Use the primary brakes to
make sure the engine never exceeds the
maximum governed speed under any
circumstance.
Note: Engine speed has a major influence
on limiting performance. When engine
speed stays at the maximum allowable
level, the exhaust brake operates at peak
performance.
Note: Exhaust brakes operate effectively
with automatic transmissions. However,
performance varies with engine speed and
the gear selected by the transmission.
An exhaust brake is an auxiliary braking
system that assists, but does not replace,
the primary brake system. It helps control
vehicle speed. It is not a vehicle-stopping
device.
E215226
To switch the exhaust brake on, press the
button. A light on the instrument cluster
indicates the system is on. Press the button
again to switch it off.
Use the button on the instrument panel, in
combination with the accelerator pedal,
to maximize the use of the exhaust brake
in the following conditions:
• Off-highway driving.
• Mountain driving.
• Heavy traffic.
• High-speed highway driving.
While approaching a steep grade, make
sure that the exhaust brake switch is on.
The exhaust brake begins working as soon
as you remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
Before descending a hill or steep grade,
always select the proper gear. If you take
the transmission out of gear while
descending, you may not be able to select
another gear because of maximum
governed RPM.
Make sure the engine speed does not
exceed the maximum allowable engine
RPM. Exceeding the maximum allowable
engine RPM can result in damage to the
engine. Apply the service brakes to reduce
the engine RPM or make a slower descent
by using a lower gear.

Exhaust Brake Operating
Characteristics
The exhaust brake switches on when you
remove your feet from the accelerator
pedal and the exhaust brake is on.
If the brake is working properly, you may
notice:
• A slight change in engine sound when
the exhaust brake turns on.
• A smooth braking effect. Do not expect
a retarding effect similar to sudden,
hard application of the service brakes.
• A retarding force possibly felt acting
against your body during brake
application, depending on the grade
and vehicle load. This force helps your
vehicle resist increasing speeds down
grades.
• Engine temperatures remaining in the
normal operating range.
• A drop in engine RPM, depending on
grade and vehicle load, during a
descent.
• A decrease in road speed when
applying the exhaust brake during a
descent, except when your vehicle is
carrying a heavy load or the grade is
extremely steep. In these instances,
you may need to apply the service
brakes occasionally.
E210339
The hand control is located on the
right-hand side of the instrument panel. It
applies the trailer service brakes, which are
independent of the truck or tractor service
brakes.
It operates a valve that provides gradual
control of air pressure applied. When the
valve is only partially applied, you can
override the trailer brakes by pressing fully
on the brake pedal.
To apply the trailer brakes using the hand
control, move the lever downward. The
further you push the lever down, the
greater the air pressure is applied to the
brakes. The lever remains in place until
manually moved.
To release the trailer brakes, move the
lever up completely.

further on the accelerator. This is normal
and is no reason for concern.
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.
In mud/snow mode, the TCS OFF light

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

Load Carrying
Example only:
LOAD LIMIT
WARNING: Do not exceed
the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label.
WARNING: Do not use
replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the
original tires because they may
lower the vehicle's GVWR and
GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the
originals do not increase the
GVWR and GAWR limitations.
E210937
Under no circumstances should
your vehicle be loaded in excess
of the GVWR or GAWR. It is the
operator’s responsibility to ensure
that neither the axle capacities,
spring capacities, tire capacities
nor the vehicle rated GVWR is
exceeded.
WARNING: Exceeding any
vehicle weight rating limitation
could result in serious damage
to the vehicle and/or personal
injury.
Every vehicle manufactured by
Ford Motor Company is supplied
with information on the Safety

AIR SUSPENSION
The air suspension indicator light
illuminates when using the button to
release air pressure in the rear air springs.
Never drive your vehicle when the warning
lamp is illuminated and there is low (or no)
air pressure in the springs.
Note: Do not operate your vehicle without
air in the suspension springs. Operating your
vehicle without air in the suspension springs
damages the suspension, degrades ride
performance and may cause property
damage.
Connecting and Disconnecting a
Trailer with Air Suspension and Air
Suspension Dump Button
The air suspension system automatically
adjusts to different loads to maintain a
constant frame height, allows for ease of
vehicle loading, provides improved vehicle
ride, and increased driver comfort.
When connecting to a trailer:
• Press and hold the button for two
seconds to exhaust air from the air
suspension system.
• Press and hold the button for two
seconds, and then raise the landing
gear after making the connection to
the trailer.
Air Suspension Dump Button
When disconnecting the trailer:
• Lower the landing gear, and then press
and hold the button for two seconds.
• Disconnect the brake hoses, trailer-side
and rear light connectors, then pull the
release lever on the fifth wheel.
E213409
You must fill the air springs before
operating with a trailer or operating in the
bobtail mode.
Note: The suspension dumps air when the
ignition is in the accessory or on position,
but fills only when the ignition is in the on
position.
Suspension Conversions
A button located on the instrument panel
controls the system. It operates only when
the ignition is in the accessory or on
position and the air tanks have sufficient
pressure to fill the air springs. When you
turn off the ignition, the suspension
remains in whatever state it was last set.
WARNING: When operating a
loaded vehicle, the driver must keep all
adjustable axles on the ground at all
times, supporting their share of the
vehicle’s load. Failure to do so can
overload other axles, tires, wheels,
springs, steering components, brakes
and frames, resulting in early component
failure, loss of vehicle control, possible
property damage and personal injury.
Pressing and holding the button for two
seconds exhausts air from the air springs,
lowering the frame for loading. Pressing
and holding the button for two seconds
fills the air springs so your vehicle remains
at normal ride height.

Towing
Load Placement
TOWING A TRAILER
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.
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
178).
You can also find information in
the RV & Trailer Towing Guide
available at your authorized
dealer, or online.
WARNING: Do not exceed
the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification
label.
WARNING: Towing trailers
beyond the maximum
recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the
vehicle and could result in engine
damage, transmission damage,
structural damage, loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover
and personal injury.
Your vehicle may have electrical
items, such as fuses or relays,
related to towing. See Fuses
(page 202).
Your vehicle's load capacity
designation is by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily
use all available space when
loading a vehicle.
Towing a trailer places an extra
load on your vehicle's engine,
transmission, axle, brakes, tires
and suspension. Inspect these
components periodically during,
and after, any towing operation.

The rating for the tow vehicle's braking
system operation is at the gross vehicle
weight rating, not the gross combined
weight rating.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
See Load limits in the Load Carrying
chapter for load specification terms found
on the tire label and Safety Compliance
label and instructions on calculating your
vehicle's load.
Trailer Lamps
Remember to account for the trailer
tongue weight as part of your vehicle load
when calculating the total vehicle weight.
WARNING: Never connect any
trailer lamp wiring to the vehicle's tail
lamp wiring; this may damage the
electrical system resulting in fire. Contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible for assistance in proper trailer
tow wiring installation. Additional
electrical equipment may be required.
Hitches
Do not use a hitch that either clamps onto
the bumper or attaches to the axle. You
must distribute the load in your trailer so
that 10-15% of the total weight of the
trailer is on the tongue.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed
vehicles. Make sure all running lights, brake
lights, turn signals and hazard lights are
working.
Safety Chains
Note: Do not attach safety chains to the
bumper.
Before Towing a Trailer
Always connect the safety chains to the
frame or hook retainers of your vehicle
hitch.
Practice turning, stopping and backing up
to get the feel of your vehicle-trailer
combination before starting on a trip.
When turning, make wider turns so the
trailer wheels clear curbs and other
obstacles.
To connect the safety chains, cross the
chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning tight corners. Do
not allow the chains to drag on the ground.
When Towing a Trailer
Trailer Brakes
•
WARNING: Do not connect a
trailer's hydraulic brake system directly
to your vehicle's brake system. Your
vehicle may not have enough braking
power and your chances of having a
collision greatly increase.
•
Electric brakes and manual, automatic or
surge-type trailer brakes are safe if you
install them properly and adjust them to
the manufacturer's specifications. The
trailer brakes must meet local and federal
regulations.
•
183
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly
after you have traveled 50 mph
(80 km/h).
When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
transmission in park (P) or neutral (N)
to aid engine and transmission cooling
and to help air conditioning
performance.
Turn off the speed control with heavy
loads or in hilly terrain. The speed
control may turn off automatically
when you are towing on long, steep
grades.

•
•
Hook-up
Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not apply the
brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.
If your transmission is equipped with
the Tow/Haul feature, use this feature
when towing. This provides engine
braking and helps eliminate excessive
transmission shifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
Allow more distance for stopping with
a trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
brake gradually.

Driving Hints
Before backing up your vehicle, be sure you
can do so safely. If anything behind the cab
limits your view, do not rely on mirrors
alone to make sure that your intended path
is clear. If other people are in the vicinity,
have someone standing well behind your
vehicle and outside of your intended path
(visible through an exterior mirror) guide
you as you back up.
GENERAL DRIVING POINTS
General Information
•
•
•
•
•
Accelerate smoothly and evenly. Rapid
acceleration increases fuel
consumption without increasing engine
performance.
When approaching a hill, press the
accelerator smoothly to start the
incline at full power, and then shift
down as needed to maintain vehicle
speed.
When going down a hill, or long steep
grades, prevent overspeeding of the
engine. Normally, choose the same
gear to descend the hill that you use to
ascend the hill. The engine governor
has no control over engine speed when
it is being pushed by a loaded vehicle.
Do not operate in a gear that permits
an engine speed more than the
maximum governed speed or high-idle
RPM (no load).
Always shift to a lower gear at high
altitudes to prevent engine smoking.
Although OSHA or some governmental
regulations may require the use of an
electrical or mechanical back up alarm to
warn bystanders, such an alarm does not
guarantee that the intended path is clear.
When in doubt, get out of your vehicle and
visually check the intended path is clear.
Back up slowly as to allow others time to
move, if necessary.
If you install an electrical back up alarm,
connect it to the backup lamp circuit.
Parking
WARNING: When parking your
vehicle, do not leave the transmission in
gear; if the key is in the on position and
the vehicle rolls, the engine could start.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in an unattended vehicle moving,
possibly causing personal injury or
property damage.
Backing Up
WARNING: All vehicles have blind
spots. To reduce the risk of severe injury
or property damage, never move your
vehicle to the side or rear or change lanes
without being sure your way is clear on
both sides and to your rear.
Always use the parking brake. When
parking on a grade, block the wheels and
turn the front wheels to one side so that if
your vehicle rolls, the front tires act against
the curb to stop your vehicle. The front
wheels are more effective at stopping a
rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
the possibility of personal injury while
backing up the vehicle, always be sure
your vehicle’s path is clear.

Driving Hints
Conditions
• Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy. For
example bug deflectors, rollbars, light
bars, running boards, ski racks or
luggage racks.
• Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures during the first 5–10 mi
(12–16 km) of driving.
• Driving on flat terrain offers improved
fuel economy as compared to driving
on hilly terrain.
• Transmissions give their best fuel
economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure
on the gas pedal.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Your fuel economy is affected by several
things, such as how you drive, the
conditions you drive under, and how you
maintain your vehicle.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
• Accelerate and slow down in a smooth,
moderate fashion.
• Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
• Anticipate stops; slowing down may
eliminate the need to stop.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
• Drive at reasonable speeds. Traveling
at 55 mph (90 km/h) uses 15% less
fuel than traveling at 65 mph
(105 km/h).
• Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
• Use the recommended engine oil.
• Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS - 6.7L DIESEL
Winter Grille Cover (If Equipped)
The winter grille cover enhances heater
performance and will reduce the amount
of time it takes to warm the inside of your
vehicle in extremely cold conditions below
-0.4°F (-18°C).
Avoid these actions; they reduce your fuel
economy:
• Sudden accelerations or hard
accelerations.
• Warm up your vehicle on cold
mornings.
• Use the air conditioner.
• Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
• Rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving.
• Carry unnecessary weight.
Approximately 1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost
for every 400 lb (180 kg) of weight
carried.
• Driving with the wheels out of
alignment.
The winter grille cover installs over the
outside of the front grille and restricts the
air flowing to the engine compartment by
covering the radiator grille openings.

Driving Hints
Installation Instructions
Installation and removal instructions are
included in the winter grille cover package.
Refer to the usage guidelines to
understand when to use the cover.
The cover will seem undersized during the
first installation, which is normal. The cover
stretches during installation to ensure a
tight fit. The first installation is best
performed when the grille cover is warm.
COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS - 7.3L
E391665
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below approximately
-13°F (-25°C).
Note: The grille cover must be installed in
extremely cold conditions below 10.4°F
(-12°C) to prevent possible engine damage.
Usage Guidelines
BREAKING-IN
The winter grille cover should only be used
while operating your vehicle in extremely
cold temperatures or in heavy snow for
extended periods of time. In these
temperatures, the vehicle does not need
a large amount of air to properly cool the
engine. During periods of operation when
more airflow is required to cool the vehicle,
the winter grille cover should not be used.
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1,000 mi (1,600 km). Vary your speed
frequently and change up through the
gears early. Do not labor the engine.
The following usage guidelines will allow
adequate airflow for proper radiator and
air cooler performance:
•
•
•
Drive your new vehicle at least 1,000 mi
(1,600 km) before towing a trailer. Make
sure you use the specified engine oil. See
Engine Oil Capacity and Specification
(page 296).
Do not use the cover when
temperatures are above 50.0°F (10°C).
Use of the cover in these conditions
could cause your vehicle to overheat.
Remove the cover if the vehicle
overheats.
Do not use the cover above 32.0°F
(0°C) if towing a trailer. Your vehicle
may overheat if the cover is used while
towing a trailer.
Do not modify the cover.
Do not add friction modifier compounds
or special break-in oils during the first few
thousand miles (kilometers) of operation.
These additives may prevent piston ring
seating.

Driving Hints
Operation in Standing Water
DRIVING THROUGH 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.
WARNING: Do not drive through
flowing or deep water as you may lose
control of your vehicle.
Note: Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
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.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the wheel
hubs.
E176913
When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
•
•
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the

HAZARD FLASHERS
WARNING: Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when
working near the battery to protect
against possible splashing of acid
solution. In case of acid contact with skin
or eyes, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,
call a physician immediately.
Note: If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery loses charge. As a result,
there may be insufficient power to restart
your vehicle.
WARNING: Use only adequately
sized cables with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle.
E304635
The hazard flasher control is located on
the instrument panel. Use it when your
vehicle is creating a safety hazard for other
motorists.
•
•
Note: Attempting to push-start a vehicle
with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
Note: Use only a 12-volt supply to start your
vehicle.
Press the flasher control and all front
and rear direction indicators flash.
Press the flasher control again to
switch them off.
Note: Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle as this could damage the
vehicle electrical system.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the
two vehicles do not touch.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can
cause personal injury. Therefore, do not
allow flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come near the battery.
When working near the battery, always
shield your face and protect your eyes.
Always provide correct ventilation.
Connecting the Jumper Cables
WARNING: Do not attach the
cables to fuel lines, engine rocker covers,
the intake manifold or electrical
components as grounding points. Stay
clear of moving parts. To avoid reverse
polarity connections, make sure that you
correctly identify the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals on both the
disabled and booster vehicles before
connecting the cables.

Roadside Emergencies
We recommend the use of a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment to tow your
vehicle. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford
Motor Company has not approved a
slingbelt towing procedure. Vehicle
damage may occur if towed incorrectly, or
by any other means.
Your vehicle comes equipped with
frame-mounted front recovery hooks.
These hooks should never have a load
applied to them greater than the gross
vehicle weight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
• Make sure all attaching points are
secure and capable of withstanding
the applied load.
• Never use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
• Only use recovery straps that have a
minimum breaking strength two to
three times the gross vehicle weight of
the stuck vehicle.
• Make sure the recovery strap is in good
condition and free of visible cuts, tears
or damage.
• Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet
draped over the recovery strap to help
absorb the energy in the event the
strap breaks.
• Make sure the stuck vehicle is not
loaded heavier than its gross vehicle
weight rating specified on the
certification label.
• Always align the tow vehicle and stuck
vehicle in a straight line (within 10
degrees).
• Keep bystanders to the sides of the
vehicle, at a distance of at least twice
the length of the recovery strap. This
helps avoid injury from the hazard of a
recovery hook or strap breaking, or a
vehicle lurching into their path.
Ford Motor Company produces a towing
manual for all authorized tow truck
operators. Have your tow truck operator
refer to this manual for proper hook-up
and towing procedures for your vehicle.
It is acceptable to have your two-wheel
drive vehicle towed with the front wheels
on the ground (without dollies) and the
rear wheels off the ground.
TOWING POINTS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Using recovery hooks
is dangerous and should only be done by
a person familiar with proper vehicle
recovery safety practices. Improper use
of recovery hooks may cause hook failure
or separation from the vehicle and could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Always slowly remove
the slack from the recovery strap prior
to pulling. Failure to do so can introduce
significantly higher loads which can
cause the recovery hooks to break off, or
the recovery strap to fail which can cause
serious injury or death.
WARNING: Never link two straps
together with a clevis pin. These heavy
metal objects could become projectiles
if the strap breaks and can cause serious
injury or death.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not operate the
vehicle if any suspension conditions
listed in the following charts are evident.
Loss of steering or suspension could
result in property damage, personal injury
or death.
To make sure your vehicle is ready to
operate, conduct a pre-trip inspection at
the beginning of each work period. Follow
the steps listed in this section to verify a
proper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING: If a wheel must be
changed, obtain expert tire service help.
Mounting and un-mounting of tires
should only be performed by a qualified
technician using necessary safety
procedures and equipment, otherwise
the result could be property damage,
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Exercise great caution
when working on a vehicle equipped with
an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts
in motion only after the engine coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature
or the refrigerant pressure (if equipped
with air conditioning) reaches a
predetermined setting. The fan starts at
this point with no advance warning.
Never reach near, or permit objects to
protrude into, the fan blade radius while
the engine is running as this could result
in vehicle damage, personal injury or
death.
Note: Always make sure you apply the
parking brake before starting the engine.

prediluted engine coolant to bring the
coolant level to the proper level.
Note: If prediluted coolant is not available,
use the approved antifreeze concentrate
diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. See
Cooling System Capacity and
Specification (page 301). Using water that
has not been deionized may contribute to
deposit formation, corrosion or plugging of
the small cooling system passageways.
It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification to avoid plugging the small
passageways in the engine cooling system.
See Cooling System Capacity and
Specification (page 301). Do not mix
different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine
or cooling system components and may
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and
models may not be approved to Ford
specifications and may cause damage to
the cooling system. Resulting component
damage may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of
engine coolant per month, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Operating an engine with a low level of
coolant can result in engine overheating
and possible engine damage.
If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
For vehicles with overflow coolant systems
with a non-pressurized cap on the coolant
recovery system, add coolant to the
coolant recovery reservoir when the engine
is cool. Add prediluted coolant to the
maximum level. For all vehicles which have
a coolant degas system with a pressurized
cap, or if it is necessary to remove the
coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator,
follow these steps to add engine coolant:
Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
coolant may change color from orange to
pink or light red. As long as the coolant is
clear and uncontaminated, this color change
does not indicate the coolant has degraded
nor does it require the coolant to be drained,
the system to be flushed, or the coolant to
be replaced.
1. Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
escapes as you unscrew the cap.
3. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with
prediluted engine coolant to within the
minimum and maximum range on the
engine coolant reservoir. If you
removed the radiator cap in an
overflow system, fill the radiator until
In case of emergency, you can add a large
amount of water without prediluted
coolant to reach a vehicle service location.
On arrival do the following:
1. Drain the cooling system.
2. Chemically clean the cooling system.
We recommend Motorcraft Premium
Cooling System Flush.

Switch the engine off and remove the
pressure relief cap as previously
outlined.
If required, add prediluted engine
coolant to the coolant reservoir until
the coolant level is within the minimum
and maximum range as listed on the
reservoir.
Engine cooling system: Repeat steps
5 through 9 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after
each step) and the upper radiator
hose at the radiator is warm to the
touch (indicating that the engine
thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the radiator).
Check the secondary cooling system.
Repeat steps 1 through 10 until the
coolant level has stabilized (is no
longer dropping after each step) and
the lower passenger side of the
secondary radiator is warm to the
touch (indicating secondary
thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the entire system).
Check the coolant level in both
systems before you drive your vehicle
the next few times.
If necessary, add prediluted engine
coolant to the coolant reservoirs until
the coolant level is within the
minimum and maximum range as
listed on the reservoir. After any
coolant has been added, check the
coolant concentration.
Maintenance
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (Fan
Clutch)
Follow your community’s regulations and
standards for recycling and disposing of
automotive fluids.
Your vehicle may have an engine driven
cooling fan drive (also called a fan clutch).
This fan drive changes the fan speed to
match the vehicle’s changing cooling air
flow requirements. Fan speed, fan noise
level and fuel consumption all increase
based on the driving conditions that
include trailer towing, hill climbing, heavy
loads, high speed and high ambient
temperature, individually or in combination.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection.Coolant concentrations
above 60% decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
The fan drive is designed to provide the
minimum fan speed (and resulting
minimum fan noise and fuel consumption)
required to meet the ever changing vehicle
cooling air flow requirements. You can hear
fan noise increasing and decreasing as the
engine power requirements and vehicle
driving conditions change as you drive. This
is to be expected as being normal to the
operation of your vehicle. High levels of fan
noise might also be heard when your
engine is first started, and should normally
decrease after driving for a short time.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the freeze and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted engine
coolant for optimum cooling system and
engine protection.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK 7.3L
Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in
the scheduled maintenance information,
the coolant should be changed. The
instrument cluster display may display a

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.
WARNING: Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use coolant or
windshield washer fluid outside of its
specified function and vehicle location.
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the coolant at
the intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 325).
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Note: Make sure that the coolant level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the
coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification in order to avoid plugging the
small passageways in the engine cooling
system. See Cooling System Capacity
and Specification (page 302). Do not mix
different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine
or cooling system components and may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Check the coolant concentration
using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.
Adding Coolant
Note: Coolants marketed for all makes and
models may not be approved to our
specifications and may cause damage to
the cooling system. Resulting component
damage may not be covered by the vehicle
Warranty.
WARNING: Do not add engine
coolant when the engine is on or the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.
If the coolant level is at or below the
minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.

Maintenance
For vehicles with overflow coolant systems
with a non-pressurized cap on the coolant
recovery system, add coolant to the
coolant recovery reservoir when the engine
is cool. Add prediluted coolant to the
maximum level. For all vehicles which have
a coolant degas system with a pressurized
cap, or if it is necessary to remove the
coolant pressure relief cap on the radiator,
follow these steps to add engine coolant:
If you have to add more than 1.1 qt (1 L) of
engine coolant per month, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Operating an engine with a low level of
coolant can result in engine overheating
and possible engine damage.
Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
coolant may change color from orange to
pink or light red. As long as the coolant is
clear and uncontaminated, this color change
does not indicate the coolant has degraded
nor does it require the coolant to be drained,
the system to be flushed, or the coolant to
be replaced.
1. Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
escapes as you unscrew the cap.
3. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with
prediluted engine coolant to within the
minimum and maximum range on the
engine coolant reservoir. If you
removed the radiator cap in an
overflow system, fill the radiator until
the coolant is visible and the radiator
is almost full. If coolant is added to
bring the level within the minimum and
maximum range when the engine is not
cold, the system may remain
underfilled.
4. Replace the coolant reservoir cap. Turn
the cap clockwise until it contacts the
hard stop.
5. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir the next few times you drive
your vehicle. If necessary, add enough
prediluted engine coolant to bring the
coolant level to the proper level.
Note: If prediluted coolant is not available,
use the approved antifreeze concentrate
diluting it to 50/50 with distilled water. See
Cooling System Capacity and
Specification (page 302). Using water that
has not been deionized may contribute to
deposit formation, corrosion or plugging of
the small cooling system passageways.
Note: In case of emergency, you can add a
large amount of water without coolant in
order to reach a vehicle service location.
Water alone, without coolant, can cause
engine damage from corrosion, overheating
or freezing. When you reach a service
location, you must have the cooling system
drained, flushed and refilled using the
correct specification prediluted coolant or
antifreeze concentrate. See Cooling
System Capacity and Specification (page
302).
Do not use the following as a coolant
substitute:
• Alcohol.
• Methanol.
• Brine.
• Any coolant mixed with alcohol or
methanol antifreeze.
Alcohol and other liquids can cause engine
damage from overheating or freezing.
Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to
the coolant. These can be harmful and
compromise the corrosion protection of
the coolant.
Recycled Coolant
We do not recommend the use of recycled
coolant as an approved recycling process
is not yet available.

Maintenance
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (Fan
Clutch)
Dispose of used engine coolant in an
appropriate manner. Follow your
community’s regulations and standards
for recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Your vehicle comes with an engine driven
cooling fan drive, also called a fan clutch.
This fan drive changes the fan speed to
match the vehicle’s changing cooling air
flow requirements. Fan speed, fan noise
level and fuel consumption all will increase
based on the driving conditions that
include trailer towing, hill climbing, heavy
loads, high speed and high ambient
temperature, individually or in combination.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to increase the
coolant concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60%
provides improved freeze point
protection. Coolant concentrations
above 60% decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
The fan drive is designed to provide the
minimum fan speed, and resulting
minimum fan noise and fuel consumption
required to meet the ever changing vehicle
cooling air flow requirements. You will hear
the amount of fan noise increasing and
decreasing as the engine power
requirements and vehicle driving conditions
change as you drive. This is to be expected
as being normal to the operation of your
vehicle. High levels of fan noise might also
be heard when your engine is first started,
and should normally decrease after driving
for a short time.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• You can decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• Coolant concentrations below 40%
decrease the freeze and corrosion
protection characteristics of the
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted engine
coolant for optimum cooling system and
engine protection.
Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarily
drive your vehicle before any incremental
component damage occurs. The fail-safe
distance depends on ambient
temperature, vehicle load and terrain.
Coolant Change
Change the coolant at specific mileage
intervals as listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. The information
display may display a message to change
coolant at this time. Add prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 291).
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the
coolant temperature gauge moves toward
the red zone:
E103308
E67028
241
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
A warning lamp illuminates and
a message may appear in the
information display.
Maintenance
If the engine reaches a preset
over-temperature condition, the engine
switches to alternating cylinder operation.
Each disabled cylinder acts as an air pump
and cools the engine.
Your vehicle has limited engine power
when in the fail-safe mode, drive your
vehicle with caution. Your vehicle does not
maintain high-speed operation and the
engine may operate poorly.
When this occurs, your vehicle still
operates, however:
• Engine power is limited.
• The air conditioning system turns off.
Remember that the engine is capable of
shutting down to prevent engine damage.
In this situation:
1.
Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and switch the engine off.
2. If you are a member of a roadside
assistance program, we recommend
that you contact your roadside
assistance service provider.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short
period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum mark,
add prediluted coolant immediately.
5. When the engine temperature cools,
you can re-start the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible to
minimize engine damage.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
increases the chance of engine damage.
Continued operation increases the engine
temperature, causing the engine to
completely shut down. Your steering and
braking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, you
can re-start the engine. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING: Fail-safe mode is for
use during emergencies only. Operate
your vehicle in fail-safe mode only as
long as necessary to bring your vehicle
to rest in a safe location and seek
immediate repairs. When in fail-safe
mode, your vehicle will have limited
power, will not be able to maintain
high-speed operation, and may
completely shut down without warning,
potentially losing engine power, power
steering assist, and power brake assist,
which may increase the possibility of a
crash resulting in serious injury.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Management (If Equipped)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
crash and injury, be prepared that the
vehicle speed may reduce and the
vehicle may not be able to accelerate
with full power until the coolant
temperature reduces.
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.
If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, the
engine may temporarily reach a higher
temperature during severe operating
conditions, for example ascending a long
or steep grade in high ambient
temperatures.

information display.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
The transmission does not consume fluid.
However, check the fluid level if the
transmission is not working properly, for
example if the transmission slips, shifts
slowly or if there are signs of fluid loss.
You may notice a reduction in vehicle
speed caused by reduced engine power in
order to manage the engine coolant
temperature. Your vehicle may enter this
mode if certain high-temperature and
high-load conditions take place. The
amount of speed reduction depends on
vehicle loading, grade and ambient
temperature. If this occurs, there is no
need to pull off the road. You can continue
to drive your vehicle.
Replace the transmission fluid and filter
on your vehicle at the specified service
interval. See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 325).
Automatic transmission fluid expands
when warmed. To check the fluid level
consistently and accurately, do the
following:
The air conditioning may turn on and off
during severe operating conditions to
protect the engine from overheating. When
the coolant temperature decreases to the
normal operating temperature, the air
conditioning turns on.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Periodically inspect electrical connectors
on the outside of the cab and on the engine
and frame for corrosion and tightness.
Exposed terminals, such as the fuel sender,
cranking motor, alternator and
feed-through studs, should be cleaned and
re-coated with a lubricant sealing grease
such as Motorcraft Silicone Brake Caliper
Grease and Dielectric Compound XG-3, or
equivalent. This should include the ground
cable connector for batteries, engine and
cab as well as the jump-starting stud.

Accessory Feed Connections
Vehicle electrical systems are complex and
often include powertrain components,
such as engine and transmission controls,
instrument panels and ABS. While most
systems operate on battery voltage (12
volts), some systems can be as high as 90
volts or as low as five volts. See the
Electrical Circuit Diagram Manuals,
available from your vehicle’s manufacturer,
to make sure that any extra body lights and
accessory connections to circuits are both
appropriate and not overloaded. Do not
make modifications to any vehicle control
system without first contacting an
authorized dealer.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
INSPECTION
WARNING: When performing
maintenance to any turbocharged engine
with engine air inlet piping disconnected,
keep loose clothing, jewelry and long hair
away from the engine air inlet piping. A
turbocharger compressor air inlet
protective shield should be installed over
the turbocharger air inlet to reduce the
risk of personal injury or death.
Inspect air intake piping:
• Check for accumulation of salt
deposits (where applicable). If present,
disassemble and clean the complete
air intake piping system. If pitting is
evident on the intake piping, use
Motorcraft Silicone Gasket and Sealant
TA-30 to seal joints against leakage.
• Check for loose hoses and clamps.
• Check for ruptured or collapsed hoses.
• Check air cleaner housing for cracks.
Perform a complete inspection of the air
induction system annually.
In areas where road salt is used,
disassemble the joints of each aluminum
component and inspect for salt build-up
and presence of chlorine that can cause
aluminum particles to flake off and enter
the engine combustion chambers. If
evidence of corrosion is found (usually at
the pipe connections), use a wire brush to
clean the inside of the pipes and inside the
rubber hoses.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a
catalytic converter or muffler, do not blend
waste oil with diesel fuel. Operate only on
ultra-low sulfur (less than 15 parts per
million sulfur) diesel fuel with a cetane
value of 45 or higher.
If pitting is evident at the joint ends of the
intake pipes, use Motorcraft Silicone
Gasket and Sealant TA-30 to seal the
joints. Make sure no excess material, which
can pull into the engine, is on the inside of
the pipes. If the service condition of the
pipes, hoses or clamps is questionable,
replace the defective part(s).
If your diesel engine is equipped with a
catalytic converter, it is important to review
the maintenance schedule to make sure
proper functioning of the catalytic
converter. Also, take precautions not to
damage the catalytic converter when
servicing your engine or storing your
vehicle.
Make sure to clean all dust and debris out
of the pipes and couplings with a clean,
damp rag before reassembly.

Maintenance
Air Brakes
BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION
WARNING: Do not manually adjust
the automatic slack adjusters to correct
excessive push rod stroke as it may result
in reduced brake effectiveness and a
vehicle crash. Excessive push rod stroke
indicates that a problem exists with the
automatic adjuster, with the installation
of the adjuster, or with foundation brake
components that manual adjustment
does not remedy. Seek service from a
qualified facility for excessive push rod
stroke.
WARNING: Always wear a
respirator approved by the National
Institute of Occupational Studies of
Health (NIOSH) or Mine Safety and
Appliance (MSA) during all brake service
procedures. Wear the respirator from
removal of the wheels through assembly.
Never use compressed air or dry brushing
to clean brake parts or assemblies.
Clean brake parts and assemblies in
open air. During assembly, carefully
place all parts on the floor to avoid
getting dust in the air. Use an industrial
vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter
system to clean dust from the brake
drums, backing plates and other brake
parts. After using the vacuum, remove
any remaining dust with a rag soaked in
water and wrung until nearly dry.
Never use compressed air or dry
sweeping to clean the work area. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with a HEPA
filter system and rags soaked in water
and wrung until nearly dry. Dispose of
used rags with care to avoid getting dust
in the air. Use an approved respirator
when emptying vacuum cleaners and
handling used rags.
Worker clean-up: Wash your hands
before eating, drinking or smoking.
Vacuum your work clothes after use and
then launder them separately, without
shaking them, to prevent fiber dust
getting into the air.
Inspection and Adjustment
Establish a regular schedule for periodic
cleaning, lubrication and adjustment
inspection based on vehicle use. Exact
maintenance intervals are difficult to
predetermine due to vehicle applications
and operating conditions. If you are
uncertain of the proper schedule for your
vehicle, contact an authorized dealer.
Regular inspections should include:
• Periodic checking (every service
interval) of push rod travel or brake
adjustment. This is essential for
effective braking. Brake chamber push
rods on original equipment chambers
now incorporate an orange paint
marker near the base of the push rod
Your vehicle is equipped with
non-asbestos brake linings. However,
exposure to excessive amounts of brake
material (whether asbestos or
non-asbestos, fiberglass, mineral wool,
aramid or carbon) may be a serious health
hazard.

as a stroke indicator to aid in
adjustment checks. If the push rod is
clean and the brakes are out of
adjustment, you can see the orange
marker protruding from the chamber
when the brakes are applied.
Checking the brake lining (every service
interval). When brake linings or blocks
wear within 0.063 in (1.6 mm) they
must be replaced.
Periodic checking (every service
interval) of the air compressor filter.
Check the filter minder and when the
indicator is near or on the red line
marked Service, replace the filter and
reset the service filter minder.
Air Dryer
Climactic conditions affect performance
of desiccant or after-cooler type air dryers.
You must establish a maintenance
schedule for each specific operation.
The use of an air dryer on a vehicle does
not eliminate the need to drain the air
reservoirs periodically.
Inspect for moisture in the air system by
opening reservoirs, draincocks or valves
and checking for presence of water. The
presence of small amounts of water due
to condensation is normal and is not an
indication that the dryer is not functioning
properly.
Replace or rebuild the desiccant cartridge
when you determine that the desiccant is
contaminated and does not have adequate
water absorption capacity. The desiccant
change interval may vary. A general
recommendation is to replace the
desiccant every 12 months (yearly). If
experience has shown that extended or
shortened life has resulted for a particular
installation, then the yearly interval can be
increased or decreased accordingly.
Do not back off or disconnect the front
brakes so that they are less effective,
letting the rear brakes do all the stopping
of your vehicle. Do not overlook the brakes
on the trailer either. Brake condition on the
trailer is just as important as the tractor.
Proper brake balance on trucks and
tractor-trailers is essential for effective
braking.
Once a year, inspect the entire brake
system:
• Rubber components for deterioration.
A qualified technician should inspect
these components and replace them
as necessary. Replacement intervals
vary according to the severity and
length of vehicle service.
• Condition of brake drums, brake
chambers and slack adjusters.
• System for air leaks.
• Hose or pipes for rust, damage and
deterioration.
• Operation of service and parking
brakes.
Draining the Air Brake Reservoir
WARNING: Failure to drain air
brake reservoirs can result in a reduction
or loss of braking ability due to fluid
accumulation in the reservoir and/or
possible freeze-up during cold weather.
Completely drain all the air brake reservoirs
daily by opening the draincock at the ends
of the tanks. (Where accessible.
Pull-chains are used when the drains are
undercab or otherwise inaccessible.) Close
the draincock after draining. Manually drain
Periodically inspect parts such as air brake
chamber diaphragm, air compressor and
air cleaner. Replace any parts if you can
consider them unserviceable.

Maintenance
any air tanks equipped with automatic
moisture ejector valves, as required, to
maintain a dry air system. Contact an
authorized dealer if you are unsure of the
air reservoir locations or the draining
procedure.
•
Hydraulic Brakes
Establish a regular schedule for periodic
cleaning, lubrication and adjustment
inspection based on vehicle use. Exact
maintenance intervals are difficult to
predetermine due to vehicle applications
and operating conditions. If you are
uncertain of the proper schedule for your
vehicle, contact an authorized dealer.
•
Regular inspections should include:
• Checking the brake lining (every service
interval). Establish inspection intervals
that provide for lining replacement
before damage to the disc occurs.
Excessive lining wear may expose the
backing plate to the disc causing
scoring of the disc faces. A qualified
technician should perform this
inspection and keep to instructions
provided by the service manual.
Hydraulic brake systems are
power-assisted. There is a great
reduction in braking capabilities
without engine assist.
Proper fluid level. The level should be
at the bottom edge of the ring on each
reservoir fill port. Do not fill the master
cylinder to the top of the reservoir. If
fluid level requires attention to
maintain a proper master cylinder level,
this is an indication of either severe
operation (pad wear) or fluid leakage.
A more frequent and thorough brake
inspection is required.
Brake lines, hoses and fittings. Repair
or replace brake line tubes, hoses or
fittings as required. Inspect these
components every 4,000 mi
(6,000 km) for the following.
• Lines for kinks, dents, corrosion or
rupture.
• Hoses for abrasions, kinks, soft
spots or rupture, collapse, cracks,
twists or loose frame supports.
When replacing a hose, be sure
there is adequate clearance to the
hose to avoid an abrasion to the
new hose.
• All connections for leaks.
Driveline Parking Brake
WARNING: Use wheel chocks and
exercise caution when inspecting under
the vehicle. A vehicle roll-away could
result in property damage, personal injury
or death.
A qualified technician should adjust the
parking brake and keep to the instructions
in the service manual.
258
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Maintenance
Follow the tire manufacturer's
recommended cold inflation pressure for
the tire size, load range (ply rating) and
steer axle loading typical for their operation
(each steer axle tire equals ½ steer axle
loading).
AXLE INSPECTION
Front Axle
Maintaining the front axle alignment to
specifications is very important. A qualified
technician should check and maintain the
alignment.
Special applications may warrant a setting
based on experience with the type of tire
operating loads and conditions. Radial tires
are more sensitive to toe-in setting than
bias ply tires. Fine tuning school bus
alignment to line-haul truck standards
does not drastically improve tire tread life.
Regular inspections should include:
• Toe-in inspection and adjustment (if
necessary), particularly with radial
tires.
• Checking for proper tightness of axle
mounting U-bolt nuts, attaching or
mounting bolts and nuts.
• Checking the axle for damage, binding,
worn parts and adequate lubrication.
• Checking the kingpins for excessive
wear. Also, perform this check during
other scheduled maintenance, for
example as tire rotation or service,
wheel bearing service and alignment.
See the workshop manual for proper
procedures.
STEERING SYSTEM
INSPECTION
WARNING: Failure to maintain the
steering system in proper condition can
cause reduced steering ability resulting
in property damage, personal injury or
death.
Note: Have any steering problems
immediately corrected by a qualified service
technician.
Toe-in
It is essential to maintain correct toe-in
and tire pressure for optimum tire wear.
Ask your service technician to examine the
steering mechanism. Only minor
adjustments may be necessary.
Inspecting steer axle tires in the first
3,000–10,000 mi (5,000–16,000 km)
generally shows if tires are wearing
normally.
Regular inspections should include:
• Checking the tie rod, drag link end
clamp bolts and ball joints for proper
tightness.
• Checking for installation and spread of
cotter pins and tightness of nuts at
both ends of the tie rod and drag link.
• Checking that the pitman arm (steering
arm at steering gear) mounting is tight
and locked. Check system for leaks or
hose chafing. Repair immediately, if
necessary.
Rapid outside shoulder wear on both tires
indicates too much toe-in.
Rapid inside shoulder wear on both tires
indicates too much toe-out.
In P&D-type service, there can be a
left-to-right steer tire tread life differential
up to 40% depending on routes and other
variables.

and steering linkage, particularly for
body-to-chassis clearance.
•
•
Steering Column Joint Bolts
As a good maintenance practice, check
steering column joint bolt tightness every
60,000 mi (96,000 km) or annually,
whichever occurs first. Do not overtighten
the bolts.
For proper suspension alignment.
Maintain proper alignment at all times.
U-bolts. After the chassis has been
operating under load for 1,000 mi
(1,600 km) or six months (whichever
comes first), the U-bolt nuts must be
re-torqued. Re-torque the U-bolt nuts
every 37,000 mi (60,000 km)
thereafter. Clean and lubricate the
U-bolt and nut threads and seats to
make sure a like new condition when
re-torqueing. See Spring U-Bolt
Check (page 261).
Hydraulic System
FRAME AND TOW HOOK
INSPECTION
Whenever draining and refilling the power
steering's hydraulic system for any reason,
bleed air from the system before returning
the vehicle to service. Failure to bleed the
hydraulic system properly can result in
degradation of power system performance.
Your vehicle's chassis is manufactured
with frame rails of either HSLA steel or
heat-treated steel. Handle each in a
specific manner to make sure maximum
service life. Consult the service manual or
an authorized dealer before attempting
frame repair or modification.
Consult an authorized dealer who is aware
of the proper procedures for filling and
bleeding the system.
It is important, particularly on vehicles that
use tow hooks frequently, to inspect the
front and rear tow hooks for damage or a
loose mounting.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
INSPECTION (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: Do not adjust air suspension height
to any setting other than the specified
setting. Altering the height setting changes
the driveline angle and may result in
unwarrantable component damage, such
as transmission component damage.
REAR AXLE FLUID CHECK
Your rear axle may have an optional
synthetic lubricant that allows the use of
extended service intervals. A tag on the
filler plug identifies the use of the synthetic
lubricant.
Verify drive axle air suspension height and
height control valve performance at engine
oil change intervals.
Only use a lubricant that meets
manufacturer specifications. Use of a
non-approved rear axle lubricant may
cause internal axle component damage.
See Rear Axle Fluid Capacity and
Specification (page 311).
Periodically check:
• Condition of spring leaves for evidence
of fatigue, bending or breakage.
• Condition of suspension mounting
brackets and bushings.
• Torque rod mounting fasteners for
tightness.

Under Hood
CLEANING THE ENGINE
For removing black rubber marks from
under the hood we recommend Motorcraft
Wheel and Tire Cleaner or Motorcraft Bug
and Tar Remover.
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
• Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine
Shampoo.
WAXING

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
WARNING: Do not use cleaning
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.
WARNING: On vehicles equipped
with seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents.
Such products could contaminate the
side airbag system and affect
performance of the side airbag in a crash.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and seats
equipped with side airbags:
• Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the
material, spot-clean the area first with
Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose
Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate)
or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning
products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect
the flame retardant abilities of the seat
materials.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
• Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
cleaning the interior of the windshield,
avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
any glass cleaner off these surfaces
immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Mirrors
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.

5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a
clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing
motion for 60 seconds on the soiled
area.
6. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL AND INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER LENS
WARNING: Do not use chemical
solvents or strong detergents when
cleaning the steering wheel or
instrument panel to avoid contamination
of the airbag system.
Note: Follow the same procedure as
cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather
instrument panels and leather interior trim
surfaces.
Clean the instrument panel and cluster
lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth,
then use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry
these areas.
•
•
•
•
Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase
the gloss of the upper portion of the
instrument panel. The dull finish in this
area helps protect you from
undesirable windshield reflection.
Do not use any household cleaning
products or glass cleaners as these
may damage the finish of the
instrument panel, interior trim and
cluster lens.
Wash or wipe your hands clean if you
have been in contact with certain
products such as insect repellent and
suntan lotion to avoid possible damage
to the interior painted surfaces.
Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces.
If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately.
Your warranty may not cover these
damages.
REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
We recommend that you contact an
authorized dealer to identify your vehicle
color code. Authorized dealers have
touch-up paint to match your vehicle's
color.
Before repairing minor paint damage, use
a cleaner to remove particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout.
Read the instructions before using cleaning
products.
CLEANING THE WHEELS
1.
Regularly clean them with a wheel
cleaner. We recommend that you use
Ford approved wheel cleaner if
available.
2. Remove dirt and brake dust with a

Under-inflation or over-inflation
may cause uneven treadwear
patterns
WARNING: Under-inflation
is the most common cause of
tire failures and may result in
severe tire cracking, tread
separation or blowout, with
unexpected loss of vehicle
control and increased risk of
injury. Under-inflation increases
sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat
buildup and internal damage to
the tire. It also may result in
unnecessary tire stress, irregular
wear, loss of vehicle control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to
half of its air pressure and not
appear to be flat!
Inflating Your Tires
Safe operation of your vehicle
requires that your tires are
properly inflated. Remember that
a tire can lose up to half of its air
pressure without appearing flat.
Every day before you drive, check
your tires. If one looks lower than
the others, use a tire gauge to
check pressure of all tires and
adjust if required.
At least once a month and before
long trips, inspect each tire and
check the tire pressure with a tire
gauge (including spare, if
equipped). Inflate all tires to the
inflation pressure recommended
by Ford Motor Company.
You are strongly urged to buy a
reliable tire pressure gauge, as
automatic service station gauges
may be inaccurate. Ford
recommends the use of a digital
or dial-type tire pressure gauge
rather than a stick-type tire
pressure gauge.
Always inflate your tires to the
Ford recommended inflation
pressure even if it is less than the
maximum inflation pressure
information found on the tire. The
Ford recommended tire inflation
pressure is found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or
Tire Label. Failure to follow the tire
pressure recommendations can
cause uneven treadwear patterns
and adversely affect the way your
vehicle handles.
274
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Wheels and Tires
Maximum Inflation Pressure is
the tire manufacturer's maximum
permissible pressure and the
pressure at which the maximum
load can be carried by the tire. This
pressure is normally higher than
the manufacturer’s recommended
cold inflation pressure which can
be found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or
Tire Label. The cold inflation
pressure should never be set lower
than the recommended pressure
on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
When weather temperature
changes occur, tire inflation
pressures also change. A 10°F
(6°C) temperature drop can
cause a corresponding drop of
1 psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
Check your tire pressures
frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure which can be
found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.
To check the pressure in your
tire(s):
1. Make sure the tires are cool,
meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
Note: If you are checking tire
pressure when the tire is hot, for
example, driven more than 1 mi
(1.6 km), never bleed or reduce air
pressure. The tires are hot from
driving and it is normal for
pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A
hot tire at or below recommended
cold inflation pressure could be
significantly under-inflated.
Note: If you have to drive a
distance to get air for your tire(s),
check and record the tire pressure
first and add the appropriate air
pressure when you get to the
pump. It is normal for tires to heat
up and the air pressure inside to go
up as you drive.
2. Remove the cap from the valve
on one tire, then firmly press
the tire gauge onto the valve
and measure the pressure.
3. Add enough air to reach the
recommended air pressure.
Note: If you overfill the tire, release
air by pressing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve. Then
recheck the pressure with your tire
gauge.
4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each
tire, including the spare.
275
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Wheels and Tires
Note: Some spare tires operate at
a higher inflation pressure than the
other tires. For T type mini-spare
tires, see the Dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly information for
a description. Store and maintain
at 60 psi (412 kPa). For full-size
and dissimilar spare tires, see the
Dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly information for a
description. Store and maintain at
the higher of the front and rear
inflation pressure as shown on the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label or Tire Label.
6. Visually inspect the tires to
make sure there are no nails or
other objects embedded that
could poke a hole in the tire
and cause an air leak.
7. Check the sidewalls to make
sure there are no gouges, cuts
or bulges.
For Example Only
Gauge reading
of hot tire
33 psi (230
kPa)
If recommended, cold
inflation pressure is
32 psi (220
kPa)
The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi
(10 kPa) greater than the
recommended cold inflation
pressure. Therefore, add 3 psi
(20 kPa) more to increase the
hot pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa)
over the recommended cold
inflation pressure.
New hot pressure
36 psi (250
kPa)
Tire Inflation Information
Checking Pressure when tires
are hot:
WARNING: An inflated tire
and rim can be very dangerous
if improperly used, serviced or
maintained. To reduce the risk
of serious injury, never attempt
to re-inflate a tire which has
been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without first
removing the tire from the wheel
assembly for inspection. Do not
attempt to add air to tires or
replace tires or wheels without
first taking precautions to
protect persons and property.
If pressures are checked after tires
have been driven for more than
three minutes or more than 1 mile,
(2 km) the tires become hot and
the pressures will increase by
approximately 4 psi (27.6 kPa).
Therefore when the tire pressure
is adjusted under these conditions,
it should be increased to a gauge
reading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greater
than the recommended cold
inflation pressure.

wear. If internal damage to the tire
is suspected, have the tire
demounted and inspected in case
it needs to be repaired or replaced.
For your safety, tires that are
damaged or show signs of
excessive wear should not be used

Periodically inspect the tire treads
for uneven or excessive wear and
remove objects such as stones,
nails or glass that may be wedged
in the tread grooves. Check the tire

bars, the tire is worn out and must
be replaced.
WARNING: In general, tires
should be replaced after six
years regardless of tread wear.
However, heat caused by hot
climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the
aging process and may require
tires to be replaced more
frequently.
WARNING: You should
replace your spare tire when you
replace the road tires or after six
years due to aging even if it has
not been used.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification
Number
WARNING: Only use
replacement tires and wheels
that are the same size, load
index, speed rating, and type as
those originally provided for your
vehicle. The recommended tire
and wheel sizes can be found on
the Tire Label on the driver side
door frame or the edge of the
driver door. If this information is
not found in those locations, or
for additional options, contact
your authorized dealer. Use of
any tire or wheel not
recommended, could affect the
safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
Both United States and Canada
Federal regulations require tire
manufacturers to place
standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and
describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides a U.S. DOT Tire
Identification Number for safety
standard certification and in case
of a recall.
This begins with the letters DOT
and indicates that the tire meets
all federal standards. The next
two numbers or letters are the
plant code designating where it
was manufactured, the next two
are the tire size code and the last
four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 317 mean
the 31st week of 1997. After 2000
the numbers go to four digits. For
example, 2501 means the 25th
week of 2001. The numbers in
between are identification codes
used for traceability. This
information is used to contact
customers if a tire defect requires
a recall.
WARNING: To reduce the
risk of serious injury, when
mounting replacement tires and
wheels, you should not exceed
the maximum pressure indicated
on the sidewall of the tire to set
the beads without additional
precautions listed below. If the
beads do not seat at the
maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again.

Replacing a Tire That is
Greenhouse Gas Certified
WARNING: When inflating
the tire for mounting pressures
up to 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater
than the maximum pressure on
the tire sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the
tire:
•
•
The tires installed on this vehicle
at the factory as original
equipment are certified for
Greenhouse Gas and Fuel
Efficiency regulations.
Replacement tires must be of
equal or lower rolling resistance
level (TRRL or Crr). Consult with
your tire supplier(s) for
appropriate replacement tires.
Stand at a minimum of 12 ft
(3.66 m) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.
Use both eye and ear
protection.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicle
is stuck in snow, mud or sand, do
not rapidly spin the tires;
spinning the tires can tear the
tire and cause an explosion. A
tire can explode in as little as
three to five seconds.
WARNING: For a mounting
pressure more than 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the
maximum pressure, a Ford
dealer or other tire service
professional should do the
mounting.
WARNING: Do not spin the
wheels at over 34 mph
(55 km/h). The tires may fail and
injure a passenger or bystander.
Important: Remember to replace
the wheel valve stems when the
road tires are replaced on your
vehicle
It is recommended that the two
front tires or two rear tires
generally be replaced as a pair.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS
Correct inflation pressure is
especially important. However, at
high speeds, even with the correct
inflation pressure, a road hazard
for example is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, has
281
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Wheels and Tires
a greater chance of causing tire
damage than at a lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed
reduces the reaction time
available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
If you see any damage to a tire or
wheel, replace it with the spare at
once and visit a participating Tire
Retailer.
Exceeding the maximum speeds
shown on the following page for
each type of tire will cause the tire
to build up excessive heat which
can cause tire damage that could
result in sudden tire destruction
and rapid air loss. Failure to
control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air
loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits
and driving conditions.
allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive
heat that may result in sudden tire
destruction. Do not exceed the
gross axle weight rating for any
axle on your vehicle.
DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING
ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS
If any tire sustains a puncture,
have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by a tire
retailer for possible damage that
may have occurred. A tread area
puncture in any passenger or light
truck tire can be repaired provided
that the puncture hole is not more
than 1/4” in diameter, not more
than one radial cable per casing
ply is damaged, and the tire has
not been damaged further by the
puncturing object or by running
underinflated. Tire punctures
consistent with these guidelines
should only be repaired by
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not make or allow to be made
any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper
performance, leading to tire
damage which can result in an
accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations
such as truing, whitewall inlays,
addition of balancing or sealant
liquids, or the use of tire dressing
containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty
coverage.
REPAIRS - WHEREVER
POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRE
RETAILER AT ONCE
The maximum load rating of your
tires is molded on the tire sidewall.
Do not exceed this rating. Follow
the loading instructions of the
manufacturer of your vehicle and
this will ensure that your tires are
not overloaded. Tires which are
loaded beyond their maximum
282
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Wheels and Tires
following the US Tire
Manufacturers Association
(USTMA) recommended repair
procedures. Plug-only repairs
done on-the-wheel are considered
improper and therefore, not
recommended. Such repairs are
not reliable and may cause further
damage to the tire.
When tires are stored, be sure they
are placed away from sources of
heat and ozone such as direct
sunlight, hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces
on which tires are stored are clean
and free from grease, gasoline or
other substances, which could
deteriorate the rubber. Failure to
store tires in accordance with
these instructions could result in
damage to your tires or premature
aging of the tires and sudden tire
failure.
STORAGE
Tires contain waxes and
emollients to protect their outer
surfaces from ozone and weather
checking. As the tire rolls and
flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface,
replenishing this protection
throughout the normal use of the
tire. Consequently, when tires sit
unused for long periods of time (a
month or more) their surfaces
become dry and more susceptible
to ozone and weather checking
and the casing becomes
susceptible to flat spotting. For
this reason, tires should always
be stored in a cool, dry, clean,
indoor environment. If storage
is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the
tires by raising the vehicle or by
removing the tires from the
vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these
instructions could result in
damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires
and sudden tire failure.
FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING
RECOMMENDATIONS
Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be done by
professionally trained persons
using proper tools and
procedures as specified by the
US Tire Manufacturers
Association (USTMA). Single
or dual assemblies must be
completely deflated before
demounting.
Your tires should be mounted on
wheels of correct size and type
and which are in good, clean
condition. Wheels that are bent,
chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or
corroded (alloy wheels) may
cause tire damage. The inside of
the tire must be free from foreign
material. Have your retailer check
the wheels before mounting new
tires. Mismatched tires and rims
can explode during mounting.
Also, mismatched tires and rims
can result in dangerous tire failure
283
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Wheels and Tires
on the road. If a tire is mounted by
error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim scrap it. It may have been
damaged internally (which is not
externally visible) by having been
dangerously stretched and could
fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new
tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct
type installed. Tubeless tires
must only be mounted on
wheels designed for tubeless
tires i.e., wheels which have
safety humps or ledges.
It is recommended that you have
your tires and wheels balanced.
Tires and wheels, which are not
balanced, may cause steering
difficulties, a bumpy ride, and
irregular tire wear.
Be sure that all your valves
have suitable valve caps. The
valve cap is the primary seal
against air loss.

Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or
pothole can cause the front end
of your vehicle to become
misaligned or cause damage to
your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you’re
driving, the wheels may be out of
alignment. Have an authorized
dealer check the wheel alignment
periodically.
Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer. Front-wheel
drive vehicles and those with an
independent rear suspension may
require alignment of all four
wheels.
The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.
Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive
there’s always the possibility that
you may eventually have a flat tire
on the highway. Drive slowly to the
closest safe area out of traffic.
This may further damage the flat
tire, but your safety is more
important.
If you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance when driving, or
you suspect your tire or vehicle
has been damaged, immediately
reduce your speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull
off the road. Stop and inspect the
tires for damage. If a tire is
under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove wheel and
replace it with your spare tire and
wheel. If you cannot detect a
cause, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest repair facility or tire
dealer to have the vehicle
inspected.
Tire Rotation
Note: If your tires show uneven
wear ask an authorized dealer to
check for and correct any wheel
misalignment, tire imbalance or
mechanical problem involved
before tire rotation.
285

Wheels and Tires
Note: Your vehicle may be
equipped with a dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly. A
dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is
different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval helps your
tires wear more evenly, providing
better tire performance and longer
tire life.

recommended.
If your vehicle is equipped with
dual rear wheels it is
recommended that the front and
rear tires (in pairs) be rotated only
side to side. We do not
recommend splitting up the dual
rear wheels. Rotate them side to
side as a set. After tire rotation,
inflation pressures must be
adjusted for the tires new

USING SNOW CHAINS
•
WARNING: Wheels and tires must
be the same size, load index and speed
rating as those originally fitted on the
vehicle. Use of any other tire or wheel
can affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle. Additionally, the use of
non-recommended tires and wheels can
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer
case or power transfer unit failure.
Follow the recommended tire inflation
pressures found on the Safety
Compliance Certification label, or the
Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver door. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, or personal injury
or death.
Please contact your upfitter for approved
snow chain types/sizes and other
recommendations for snow chain use.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNING: To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel.
The tires on your vehicle have all-weather
treads to provide traction in rain and snow.
However, in some climates, you may need
to use snow tires and cables. If you need
to use cables, it is recommended that steel
wheels (of the same size and
specifications) be used, as cables may chip
aluminum wheels.
Note: The suspension insulation and
bumpers help prevent vehicle damage. Do
not remove these components from your
vehicle when using snow tires and chains.
WARNING: Do not get under a
vehicle that is supported by a jack.
Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and chains:
•
•
WARNING: Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your
vehicle.
If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.
Install chains securely, verifying that
the chains do not touch any wiring,
brake lines or fuel lines.
WARNING: Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground.
287
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains
rub or bang against your vehicle, stop
and retighten the chains. If this does
not work, remove the chains to prevent
damage to your vehicle.
Remove the snow chains when they
are no longer needed. Do not use snow
chains on dry roads.
Wheels and Tires
3. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward on all front and inboard rear
wheels. If you are replacing the
outboard wheel, the valve stem must
be facing inward. Reinstall the lug nuts
until the wheel is snug against the hub.
Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until
the wheel has been lowered.
4. Lower the wheel and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown below. See
Technical Specifications (page 289).
5. Unblock the wheels.

WARNING: Do not attempt to
change a tire on the side of the vehicle
close to moving traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to not obstruct the flow of
traffic and avoid the danger of being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, set the parking

AUXILIARY SWITCHES (IF
EQUIPPED)
For maximum vehicle performance, keep
the following information in mind when
adding accessories or equipment to your
vehicle:
• When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Ask an authorized
dealer for specific weight information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems
equipped with radio transmitters, for
example, two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should comply
with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulations, and
should be installed by an authorized
dealer.
• An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
E163431
The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches operate when the ignition is on
or from battery power, depending on the
switchable power distribution box fuse
locations #82 and #83. We recommend,
however, that the engine remain running
to maintain battery charge when using the
auxiliary switches for extended periods of
time or higher current draws.
Note: When your vehicle has a diesel
engine, use the auxiliary switches only while
the engine is running. The glow plugs also
drain battery power when the ignition key is
in the on position. Using the auxiliary
switches, even for limited amounts of time,
can cause your battery to drain quickly and
prevent your vehicle from restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 20 amps or 40 amps of electrical
battery power for a variety of personal or
commercial uses.
The relays for the auxiliary switches are in
the power distribution box under the hood
by the right-hand fender. See your
authorized dealer for service.
Each switch includes a power lead, a
blunt-cut and sealed wire below the
instrument panel and to the left of the
steering column in the driver footwell area.
The power leads are coded as shown:

Scheduled Maintenance
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
Replacement Parts
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
12-month or 12,500 mi (20,000 km) parts
and labor limited warranty.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part, it could affect
emissions compliance.
We have established regular maintenance
intervals for your vehicle based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you
have your vehicle serviced at the proper
times. These intervals serve two purposes;
one is to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is to keep your cost
of owning your vehicle down.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one
stop shopping. They can perform any
services that are required on your vehicle,
from general maintenance to collision
repairs.
It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed and to
make sure that the materials used meet
the specifications identified in this owner's
manual. See Engine Specifications
(page 291).
Note: Not all dealers have extended hours
or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
maintain the proper performance of your
vehicle and its emission control systems,
make sure you have scheduled
maintenance performed at the designated
intervals.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Factory-trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the
operation of your vehicle. Ask your
dealership about the training and
certification their technicians have
received.
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, which
displays a message in the instrument
cluster display at the proper oil change
interval. This interval may be up to one year
or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) for gas engines
and up to one year or 15,000 mi
(24,000 km) for diesel engines.
325
2024 F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202210, First-Printing
Scheduled Maintenance
Your vehicle can be driven in such a way
that dilutes and increases the level of oil
by short trips that do not allow the engine
to get to operating temperature, extended
idling, and low speed driving for long
periods of time.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
A message appears in the instrument
cluster display when it is time for an oil
change. Make sure you perform the oil
change within two weeks or 500 mi
(800 km) of the message appearing. Make
sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor after each oil change. See
Instrument Cluster (page 64).
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
If your instrument cluster display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) from
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil
change intervals for gas engines.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Never exceed one year or 15,000 mi
(24,000 km) between oil change intervals
for diesel engines.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.

Scheduled Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance Services
Cam Brakes - Automatic Slack
Adjusters
Maintenance service adjustments must
conform to specifications contained in this
manual, and those shown on the Important
Engine Information decal. Perform the
following services at scheduled intervals
because they essential to the life and
performance of your vehicle. Ford
recommends that you perform
maintenance on all designated items to
achieve best vehicle operation.
WARNING: Do not manually adjust
the automatic slack adjusters to correct
excessive push rod stroke as it may result
in reduced brake effectiveness and a
vehicle crash. Excessive push rod stroke
indicates that a problem exists with the
automatic adjuster, with the installation
of the adjuster, or with foundation brake
components that manual adjustment
does not remedy. Seek service from a
qualified facility for excessive push rod
stroke.
There are three types of maintenance
intervals for general vehicle environments:
On-Highway, City and Severe Service. In
all applications, monitoring miles
(kilometers) and time and when the engine
is due for an oil change determine the
actual interval. When the engine oil change
is required before the truck lubrication
interval, perform the lubrication at the
same time in order to reduce your vehicle’s
time out of service.
Inspect standard air brakes equipped with
automatic slack adjusters for proper brake
adjustment as listed in the maintenance
schedule charts.
However, inspect the brakes more
frequently when subjecting them to heavy
use or adverse operating conditions such
as:
• Frequent brake applications while fully
loaded.
• Operation on hilly or mountainous
terrain.
• Frequent operation on dirt, gravel or
mud.
Air Brake Adjustment
WARNING: Failure to maintain
proper air brake adjustment can result
in reduction or loss of braking ability.
A qualified service technician, keeping to
the instructions in the service manual,
should perform air brake inspection and
adjustment or repairs.
Some aftermarket brake linings also
require more frequent inspections.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.

This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the instrument cluster display.
Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive
way to perform a thorough inspection of
your vehicle. Your checklist gives you
immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.

Scheduled Maintenance
Rear Axle Maintenance
Diesel Particulate Filter
A rear axle fluid change or level check is
not required unless you suspect a leak or
the assembly has been submerged in
water. During long periods of trailer towing
with outside temperatures above 70°F
(21°C), and at wide-open throttle for long
periods above 45 mph (72 km/h), change
the rear axle fluid every 24,000 mi
(38,000 km) or three months, whichever
comes first.
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 250,000 mi (400,000 km).
Actual mileage varies depending on engine
and vehicle operating conditions.
In this case, the engine control system sets
a service light (wrench icon) to inform you
to bring your vehicle to the dealer for
service. If there are any issues with the
oxidation catalyst or particulate filter
system, a service light (wrench or engine
icon) sets by the engine control system to
inform you to bring your vehicle into a
dealer for service.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. We, however, urge you to have
all recommended maintenance services
performed at the specified intervals and
to record all vehicle service.
Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals
The normal oil change interval is 3,000 mi
(5,000 km) for gasoline vehicles operating
in the Middle East, North Africa,
Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with
similar climates using American Petroleum
Institute (API) oils Certified for Gasoline
Engines and displaying the API Certification
Mark. If API Certified Oils are not available,
then it is acceptable to use API SM or SN
oils. If API oils are not available, then the
oil change interval is 1,750 mi (3,000 km).
Engine Air Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter is dependent
on exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
Vehicles operated in these conditions
require frequent inspection and
replacement of the engine air filter and
cabin air filter.

WARNING: Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
CRUISE CONTROL MODULE
Argentina
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.
WARNING: In a rollover crash, an
unbelted person is significantly more
likely to die than a person wearing a
seatbelt.

Brazil
WARNING: Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.
E340118
Utility vehicles and trucks handle
differently than passenger cars in the
various driving conditions that are
encountered on streets, highways and
off-road. Utility vehicles and trucks are not
designed for cornering at speeds as high
as passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road conditions.

Read and follow instructions: Before
using your Windows Automotive- based

Appendices
Keep User's Guide in vehicle: When kept
in the vehicle, the User's Guide will be a
ready reference for you and other users
unfamiliar with the Windows
Automotive-based system. Please make
certain that before using the system for
the first time, all persons have access to
the User's Guide and read its instructions
and safety information carefully.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume
excessively. Keep the volume at a level
where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving
while unable to hear these sounds could
cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions:
Speech recognition software is inherently
a statistical process which is subject to
errors. It is your responsibility to monitor
any speech recognition functions included
in the system and address any errors.
WARNING: Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the
safe operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
Navigation Features: Any navigation
features included in the system are
intended to provide turn by turn
instructions to get you to a desired
destination. Please make certain all
persons using this system carefully read
and follow instructions and safety
information fully.
Distraction Hazard: Any navigation
features may require manual (non-verbal)
setup. Attempting to perform such set-up
or insert data while driving can seriously
distract your attention and could cause an
accident or other serious consequences.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations.
General Operation
Voice Command Control: Functions
within the Windows Automotive-based
system may be accomplished using only
voice commands. Using voice commands
while driving allows you to operate the
system without removing your hands from
the wheel.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: Any
navigation features are provided only as
an aid. Make your driving decisions based
on your observations of local conditions
and existing traffic regulations. Any such
feature is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by
this system should never replace any local
traffic regulations or your personal
judgment or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Prolonged Views of Screen: Do not
access any function requiring a prolonged
view of the screen while you are driving.
Pull over in a safe and legal manner before
attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Even
occasional short scans to the screen may
be hazardous if your attention has been
diverted away from your driving task at a
critical time.

Route Safety: Do not follow the route
suggestions if doing so would result in an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, if you would be
placed in an unsafe situation, or if you
would be directed into an area that you
consider unsafe. The driver is ultimately
responsible for the safe operation of the
vehicle and therefore, must evaluate
whether it is safe to follow the suggested
directions.

Potential Map Inaccuracy: Maps used
by this system may be inaccurate because
of changes in roads, traffic controls or
driving conditions. Always use good
judgment and common sense when
following the suggested routes.
1. Safe and Lawful Use
You acknowledge that devoting attention
to the Telenav Software may pose a risk

situations that otherwise require your
undivided attention, and you therefore
agree to comply with the following when
using the Telenav Software: (a) observe
all traffic laws and otherwise drive safely;
(b) use your own personal judgment while
driving. If you feel that a route suggested

you into an area that you consider to be
unsafe, do not follow such instructions; (c)
do not input destinations, or otherwise
manipulate the Telenav Software, unless
your vehicle is stationary and parked; (d)
do not use the Telenav Software for any

your vehicle so that they will not interfere
with your driving and will not prevent the
operation of any safety device (such as an
airbag).

navigation features included in the system
to route you to emergency services. Ask
local authorities or an emergency services
operator for these locations. Not all
emergency services such as police, fire
stations, hospitals and clinics are likely to
be contained in the map database for such
navigation features.

its licensors and suppliers, or agents or

liable for any decision made or action
taken by you or anyone else in reliance on
the information provided by the Telenav

Telenav Software. For example but
without limitation, you agree not to rely on
