Safety
Seat Belts
Seat belts provided with your vehicle are the
most important on-board safety equipment.
Seat belts minimize the risk of injury by
reducing the movement of the occupants in
the direction of impact and their contact with
the interior in case of a crash.
Always fasten your seat belts while driving.
Seat belt shall not loose or bent or shall not be
blocked by another occupant or load.
WARNING
Seat belt cannot provide its protection function
if you do not fasten it correctly or ensure that
the belt lock is engaged properly. Otherwise,
you may get seriously or fatally injured in case
of an accident. Ensure that all occupants of
the vehicle have properly fastened their seat
belts to prevent this.
CAUTION
While you are fastening your seat belt, ensure
that,
- it does not pass through your belly that it
passes through your hip, e.g. your thighs
- it is tight
- it is not twisted any way
- it passes through the middle of your
shoulders
- it does not pass through your neck or armpits
- it is strained on your hips by pulling it
upwards from the chest .
Do not fasten the belt with heavy items and
avoid wearing thick clothes.
Do not fasten the seat belt over fragile objects
in or on your clothes such as glasses, keys,
pens etc.
Use a seat belt for only one person.
Never travel with your children on your lap and
do not fasten the seat belt over them.
9
WARNING
Seat belts provide safety inside the vehicle
when the occupants are seated in vertical
position while the backrests of the seat are in
vertical position.
Avoid seating position that prevents correct
operation of the seat belts.
Do not drive while the backrest is leaned
backwards excessively.

Seat Belts
WARNING
Fastening the seat belt
Seat belt cannot provide proper functionality
when the belt or lock of the seat belt is
damaged. To prevent this, check the seat
belts for damage or jamming periodically.
Otherwise, seat belt may be torn in case
of an accident and cause serious or fatal
injuries.
Pull the seat belt continuously from the reel.
Seat belt may be locked when it is pulled too
fast or when the vehicle is on a slope.
In this case, relieve the seat belt and allow it to
retract a little, then try again.
Hear the locking click when you are inserting
the latch of the seat belt to the buckle.
Otherwise, seat belt is not locked.
10
Press the red button on the buckle to release
the seat belt. Then, release the belt slowly to
allow that it is wound on the reel fully.
Seat belt shall pass through the middle of your
shoulder. And, the waist part shall be seated
firmly on your hips, not on your stomach.
Safety
Park Brake Control
Park brake is placed on the front console.
Always apply the park brake after parking the
vehicle. Chock the tires if the vehicle is parked
on a slope.

WARNING
Do not apply the park brake while the brake

11
WARNING
Park brake is spring type. If there is not
enough pressure in the air tanks, park brake
will not be released from the control lever.
There shall be enough air pressure on the
tanks to release the brake. If there is not
enough pressure, the brake can be release
by turning the setting mechanism of the
adjustment bolt located on the park brake
bellows.
Before releasing the park brake spring,
ensure the safety of your vehicle by
chocking the wheels. Do not drive the
vehicle if any park brake circuits are not
working.
Bellows may be frozen if the brakes cannot
be released while the lever is released on
winter. Spring is shrunk by rotating the
bellows installation bolt in the tightening
direction. To ensure that the emergency
spring is fully installed, installation bolt shall
be tightened until it does not turn anymore.

Tires and Wheels
One of the most important safety elements
on your vehicle is the tires. Check the tire
pressure and condition periodically. Do not
drive your vehicle with worn tires. -When
the tire pressure is very low, tires may get
extremely heated, worn and these may cause
excessive fuel consumption.
-When the tire pressure is very high, this may
cause longer braking distance, worse handling
and excessive wear on tires.
-If the pressure loss happens continuously, this
may be caused by external damages, cracks,
foreign material in the tires and faulty tire
valves leaking air.
WARNING
Tire profiles
A minimum profile depth is prescribed for tires
by law. Observe the legislation for the relevant
country.
For safety reasons, change your tires before
reaching the legally advised minimum profile
depth.
WARNING
An excessively low tire profile may cause
loss of handling at high speeds in case of
rain or snow mud conditions. You may loose
your handling and cause an accident in
these conditions.
Please, observe the prescribed tire pressure
for your vehicle.
Very low tire pressure may cause blow-out
of the tire at high speeds and loads. You can
cause an accident and thus injuries to others
due to this.
12
The Condition of the Tires
Check the following conditions regularly every
2 weeks and before a long haul to inspect the
condition of the tires:
- External damage
- Cracks and bulges on the tires,
- Foreign material in the tire profile,
- Irregular wear of the profile.
WARNING
Do not forget that the external damages,
bulges and cracks on the tires may cause
blow-out of the tire. You may cause an
accident in these conditions.
Safety
Tires and Wheels
The Aging of the Tires
- Aging of the tires reduces the operation and
traffic safety of the tires. Even unused tires are
aged.
- Always replace your tires if they are aged
more than 6 years.
Tire Damages
Tire damages are usually caused by the following reasons:
- Aging of the tire
- Foreign material
- Usage conditions of the vehicle
- Weather conditions
- Oil, fuel, grease etc. Contact with materials
- Dragging on the sidewalks
- Low or high tire pressure
13
WARNING
When your vehicle passes over the sides of
the sidewalks or objects with sharp edges,
this may cause damages that cannot be
seen externally.
These damages can only be noticed in the
future and cause a flat tire.
Do not park your vehicle with some part of
the tire on the sidewalk.

General Safety Warnings
WARNING
Failure to observe following conditions may
cause accidents which may result in serious
injuries.
- Using a mobile phone while driving may
distract you.
- Do not adjust the seat and steering wheel
while driving.
- Occupants travelling on any other place
than seats (e.g. on the bed) may cause serious injuries while braking.
- Do not put any objects on the beds inside
the cab; this may cause serious injuries
while braking.
WARNING
Make sure the heater is off before refuelling
of the vehicles with additional fuel tank for
additional cab heater.
WARNING
Items that you may place on the toolbox
compartment shall not exceed 8 kg. Also,
precautions shall be taken against the risk
of items moving and damaging the toolbox
compartment when the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
Do not carry or store material harmful to the
health inside the driver cab.
Examples of these materials are:
- Fuel
- Acid
- Lubricants and grease
- Cleaning agents
Vehicle Tracking Safety System
Fleet tracking systems are also used for finding the location of the vehicle in case of car
theft. However if the vehicle tracking module
is removed, the location of the vehicle cannot
be found.
Vehicle Tracking Safety System eliminates this
problem which is the weak point of the fleet
tracking systems, since the module cannot be
removed and prevents the stolen vehicle from
being driving away.
In vehicles with optional vehicle tracking safety
system, starting may be last up to 35 seconds when the disconnecting switch shut off
because of the safety package.
14
After the ignition is on, wait for the red immobilizer light to dim out
before starting.
Vehicle tracking safety system warning indicator
If the instrument panel and FMS cannot communicate while the ignition is on, the vehicle
cannot be started.
This prevents the starting of the vehicle without GPS tracking.
Vehicle cannot be started and indicates a
warning in this case.

General Safety Warnings
Cleaning of Exhaust Filter
The exhaust filter found in Euro 6 vehicles
retains the smut coming from the exhaust gas
and decreases the emission values. With the
exhaust filter cleaning operation which can be
performed automatically or manually, the smut
retained in the filter is burned with regular
intervals so that the filter is emptied before
filling up and being clogged. In this operation,
the exhaust gas is heated by the engine and
smut is burned. Driver is informed about the
exhaust filter cleaning of the vehicle through
the messages displayed on the indicator panel
and explained in detain in the Exhaust Filter
Cleaning section
Using exhaust filter cleaning prevention for
prolonged time may cause the exhaust filter to
be clogged and rendered unusable. Please
observe the warnings provided in the indicator
panel and do not use manual filter cleaning
prevention unless necessary.

Starter Protection System
4
Starter Protection System is a system that
prevents the burning of the starter due to
unnecessary starting operations.
Electronic control unit calculates the maximum
appropriate duration of a starting operation by
gathering many data via the sensors on the
engine to protect the starter. When the user
exceeds the specified maximum start duration,
he is prevented from starting again.
The system allows starting again at the end of
the period determined by the electronic control
unit.
Please follow the instructions below in such a
case.
CAUTION
If your engine is not started after some
attempts, there may another problem
in another system of your engine. First
complete the other checks, and attempt to
start again.
To stop the engine
Do not stop the engine immediately when the
vehicle is stopped. Wait until the turbo speed
is decreased by operating the engine in idle.
If the engine is stopped immediately when
the vehicle is stopped, the turbo which is
rotating in high speed shall not be adequately
lubricated.
CAUTION

Reverse test request
There are some kind of failures which
can’t be detected by EBS directly, only via
monitoring of the behavior of the vehicle
and the brake system. These monitoring
functions are called plausibility checks. If a
plausibility failure is detected by the EBS, it
can be restored according to the legal
requirements only if EBS carries out system
test (called reverse test) and the result of the
test is positive (operation of the brake system
is correct). It means when the cause of the
failure is eliminated (it was just a temporary
failure, or the vehicle is repaired), than a
reverse test has to be carried out.
To make EBS to be able to carry out the
reverse test, the driver has to activate the
brake pedal once under a defined condition.
When EBS requires such a pedal activation to
restore the failure, it will send a request with
the following failure code:
Path: 253 (Vehicle brake system)
Type: 201 (Press brake pedal request)
(SPN 64969)
It is highly recommended to give a clear text
on the instrument cluster to the driver when
this pedal activation requested and the user
manual of the vehicle should describe clearly
the conditions how to do it.
The pedal activation has to be carried out on
the following way:
After fault detection, the ignition must be
switched off and on in order to reset EBS:
•
The ignition-off phase must be at least 5
sec., to allow power-down of EBS, and
•
During ignition-off phase the brake pedal
must be released, to avoid braking in
wake-up mode without reset of EBS.
•
After ignition is switched on, for at least
7 sec.:
•
The vehicle must be in stillstand, and
•
Brake pedal must be released.
•

Half gear
(boost)
There are 16 forward and 2 reverse (in high and low
ranges) gears. All gears other than the reverse gears
have synchronizers. Shifting from low to high range and
selection of half (boost) gears is made via the latches on
the gear knob. As shown in the diagram below, the latch
in the front side of the gear knob allows selection of the
low range (1-2-3-4) and the high range (5-6-7-8). When
the latch is down, the transmission is in the low range;
and when the latch is up, the transmission is in the high
range. The latch on the side of the gear knob allows
selection of half (boost) gears. When the latch is down,
the transmission is in boost gear; and when the latch is
up, the transmission is in normal gear.
Note: To shift from low range to high range during
acceleration in transmissions with 1H gear system:
1. Press the latch upwards in the 4th gear.
2. Depress the clutch pedal.
3. Select neutral.
4. Shift the lever from neutral to ½ range and then 1/5 gear.
Transmission will shift to 5th gear when it is in high range.
5. Slowly release the clutch pedal.
6. Leave the latch in high range.
16 S 2230 transmissions have a shift prevention
mechanism to protect the transmission against
incorrect shifts when the vehicle has reached a certain
speed. These mechanisms prevent shifts to ½ range in
certain speeds for low and high ranges, and shifts from
high range to low range.
Below are the cases reflecting the above mentioned
circumstances and where the protection mechanisms
are activated for errors likely to be experienced when
driving:
1- Driver wants to shift from 4th to 5th, but forgets
the switch the latch to high range (upwards) when
the vehicle is accelerating: The gear knob cannot be
moved to 1/2 position, changing to an incorrect gear is
prevented by the system.
104
2- Driver wants to shift from 6th to 5th, but switches
the latch to low range inadvertently when the vehicle
is decelerating: As the transmission will try to shift to
1st in this condition, the shift prevention mechanism is
activated and prevents the shift operation, and moves
the shift lever to the ¾ range, and changing to an
incorrect gear is prevented by the system.
3- Trying to shift from 8th to 5th when the vehicle is
moving with a certain speed: Selector lever 1
The gear knob cannot be moved to 1/2 position,
changing to an incorrect gear is prevented by the
system.
4- Trying to shift from low range to high range when the
vehicle is moving with a certain speed: System denies
the shift to the low range. Driver is not allowed to shift
to low range.
Prevention mechanisms of the 16 S 2230 transmission
specified above are intended to protect the gear and
synchronizer mechanisms in the transmission, and
these are not error modes.
CAUTION
Service life of the clutch is proportional with its correct
usage.
Incorrect usage of the clutch reduces its service life
and clutch is damaged because of overheating in a
short period of time.
Do not hold the vehicle on slopes with semi-applied
clutch.

Choose a lower gear during take-off to ensure
that your clutch has a longer service life. In
case of any load, take off with low range 1 on
hills, and high range 1 gear on straight roads.
Do not use reverse gear when the
transmission is in high range.

Make sure that the air is filled up
adequately. You can tell whether the air is filled
or not by the air pressure section of the
instrument panel. Or you may wait until the
driver's seat is completely filled with air. If the
driver's seat is filled with air, this means that
there is enough air for the transmission.

When you shift to D, the transmission shall
start in automatic drive mode and shall select
the starting gear itself, depending on load and
inclination. D shall be displayed on the screen,
indicating that the vehicle is started in
automatic mode.
In some cases, the transmission software may
not be able to calculate the starting gear (when
the vehicle is started recently, when no
information received or due to calculation
errors). If you think that the transmission can
not select the appropriate gear according to the
vehicle load and the inclination of the road, you
may change the take-off gear with the + and commands on the shift knob. (Max. 5th gear
may be selected for take-off)
Before moving, observe that the transmission

OPERATION
EBS - ESP
CAUTION
ESP is an auxiliary brake system.
Always remember that no system can
change the physical laws. Driving safety is
responsibility of the driver despite all auxiliary
systems.
EBS (Electronic Brake System)
EBS (Electronic Brake Control) is an
integrated braking system that includes subsystems.
1-Braking power control:
EBS control unit adjusts the braking power
on the wheels automatically based on the
information from the load sensor and the brake
pedal travel applied by the driver.
2-Automatic braking power distribution
between axles:
EBS adjusts the braking power that will be
applied to the axles based on the axle load.
3- ABS:
ABS maintains steering control by preventing
the locking of wheels during brakes.
4-Automatic Traction Control:
Main purpose of this function is to prevent
skidding of driven axle wheels.
a) Braking power control: The speeds of the
wheels of the driven axle are equalized by
decelerating the skidding wheel by braking.
b) engine torque is automatically limited to
ensure that the vehicle moves stably.
5-Inertia torque control:
Wheels may skid due to the engine inertia
in slippery surfaces. Especially, when the
transmission is downshifted and/or intarder is
activated, wheels may have an inclination to skid.
Inertia torque control system sends a signal
to engine control unit and adjusts the engine
torque to overcome the inertia of the engine.
CAUTION
Intarder may cause the vehicle to skid in
slippery road conditions.
6-Emergency brake assist system:
System senses the braking operation and
increases braking power according to the
pedal travel.
126
CAUTION
Emergency brake assist cannot increase the
maximum capacity of braking power. Vehicle
shall be braked in the limits of maximum
braking power.
7-Tilt prevention system:
System senses the risk of tilting automatically
when the brake is applied and decreases the
braking power of front wheels and increases
the braking power of rear axle. Thus, vehicle is
prevented from tilting.

Differential lock is a system that increases
the capacity of transmission of power to the
surface. Lock gear is consists of the yoke that
moves the gear and an air operated piston.
Engine torque transmitted to the left and
right sides of the vehicle and wheel speeds
are equalized when the differential lock is
engaged. Activate the differential lock in bad
and slippery road conditions where high and
stable traction power is required.
Engagement of the differential lock
1) Activate the differential lock before running
into worsening road conditions. Ensure that
the road is not slippery and any wheel is not
skidding or slipping. Ensure that the wheels
are not on slippery surface and stop the
vehicle completely.
Engage the differential lock button(s) in the
instrument cluster. 4x2, 6x2 and 8x2 vehicles
have optional one differential lock; 6x4 and
8x4 vehicles have front differential locks (FDL),
rear differential locks (RDL) and inter-axle
differential locks (IADL) as standard.
On X2 vehicles,
light will be illuminated
on the instrument panel when differential lock
is engaged, and a warning buzzer shall sound
if available.
On X4 vehicles both
FDL light and
RDL light will be illuminated when differential
lock is engaged and a warning buzzer shall
sound if available.
128
CAUTION
If the differential lock is not used properly,
there is a risk of heavy damage to the
differential unit and/or a serious risk of
accident. Differential faults caused by using
improper use of differential lock are out of
warranty cover

The points to be considered when the
differential lock is activated:
If required, the differential lock shall be
engaged prior to go through the rough surface
at the required distance and its engagement
and disengagement shall be monitored via
the illuminated warning sign on the instrument
cluster.
Vehicle may move outward of the curve in
turns while the DCDL is completely activated.
Do not use differential lock on paved roads,
and never perform turns when the locks are
engaged.
When turning, make sure the differential lock is
disengaged. Otherwise the differential of your
vehicle may be damaged severely and you
may have to call for AAA.
The maximum speed shall be 20 km/h when
differential lock is engaged.
Deactivating the differential lock:
1) When it is safer to drive above certain
speeds as soon as road conditions become
normal, differential lock must be deactivated.
Vehicle shall be stopped and differential lock
shall be disengaged after making sure that
the vehicle moved far away from the slippery
surface. Ensure that the wheels are not on
slippery surface first and stop the vehicle
completely.
2) Deactivation of the differential lock is
performed when the warning light on the
instrument panel is turned off and this may
take about 500 meters sometimes. Turn the
differential lock switch(es) on. Drive the vehicle
very slowly by applying the accelerator slowly
to deactivate the differential lock.
3) The differential lock will disengage once
the illuminated warning sign on the instrument
cluster and the warning buzzer, if any, will
stop.
4) You can continue driving observing the legal
speed limits according to flow of the traffic.
129
CAUTION
Vehicle should always be decelerated in sharp
curves, and it is advised that the differential
lock is deactivated in sharp curves. User is
informed by buzzer on that differential lock is
activated.
CAUTION
Deactivate the differential lock when driving the
tractor vehicles down the slopes. Trailer may be
folded due to the loss of the vehicle dynamics.
OPERATION
Differential Lock
Usage of the driver controlled inter-axle
differential lock (IADL):
Ford-Otosan Inter-Axle Differential Lock
(IADL) is driver controlled system operated by
the pressurized air; it allows that the traction
torque is distributed evenly to the front and
rear axles and ensures that the axles speeds
are equal.
It is available on 6x4 and 8x4 models only.
IADL button is on the centre instrument cluster.
It is also known as "Inter-differential power
distributor" or "3rd differential".
WARNING
IADL shall be disengaged in standard road
conditions i.e. when the tyres are not slipping.
Activate all differential locks to evenly distribute the
traction to the front and rear axles in slippery and
snowy road conditions. Deactivate the IADL when
the vehicle is returned to normal road conditions.

LDWS is only a warning system and does not
interfere with dynamics of the vehicle. Always drive
attentively and do not try to test the system on the
road.
LDWS will not warn if emergency lights are
active
LDWS will not warn if LDWS warning lamp
is constantly on, meaning that system is not active
due to driver deactivation or an error.
The sensor may incorrectly track lane markings
such as other structures or objects. This can result
in a false or missed warning.
In cold and severe weather conditions the
system may not function. Rain, snow, spray, worn
or dirty lane markings and large contrasts in lighting
can all influence the sensor.
The system may not operate in areas during
roadwork construction.

OPERATION
Emergency braking system
Advanced Emergency Braking System
Principle of operation
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle or a vehicle traveling in the same
direction as yours, and if the Advanced Emergency
Braking System (AEBS) detects that a rear end
collision situation gets imminent with a motor
vehicle ahead, the system is designed to provide
two levels of functionality:
1.
2.
Collision warning
Emergency braking
Emergency Braking: If the collision is still found to be
imminent, the system may apply full braking to reduce
the impact damage or avoid the crash completely.
Note: AEBS is not active if you are driving below 15kph.
Note: AEBS will not warn or brake if the relative
speed between your vehicle and the lead vehicle is
below 10kph.
Note: Deactivation of the ESP feature via the ESP
switch will deactivate the AEBS as well.
WARNING
Note: If the AEBS warning lamp is constantly ON,
this means either system is deactivated by the
driver, or AEBS shut off due to an error. In this
case, AEBS is OFF. The system will not warn or
intervene.
6
Collision Warning: If the system determines that a
collision is imminent, AEBS warning lamp flashes,
an intermittent warning tone sounds, and a warning
message pops-up in the information display.
In order to make the warning more audible,
system mutes radio and stops the blowers of air
conditioning system until the end of the warning.
If the system detects that you still do not take
control of your vehicle to avoid the accident and
collision is still found to be imminent, AEBS may
apply partial braking along with acoustical and
optical warnings to further draw your attention.
WARNING
If you receive an AEBS warning, which means a
rear-end collision is imminent, always apply brakes
yourself to avoid the accident and try to take evasive
action. Failure to take care may result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
134
AEBS visual warning on cluster display
AEB System is a collision avoidance system.
However, AEB System is not a substitute for safe
and attentive driving. AEB system has its own
limitations for certain traffic scenarios. Note that
AEB system might not work in all conditions as
expected. The system does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
Failure to take care may result in the loss of control
of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
AEBS is not able to guess other drivers’
intentions. Always maintain a safe distance with
the vehicle in front of you. Failure to take care may
result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
4
OPERATION
Emergency braking system
AEB system is designed to provide active driver
assistance to avoid rear-end collisions or mitigate
the effects of a possible collision in real traffic
situations in certain frontal collisions only.
4
AEB System may not always recognize a
collision situation and/or may not be able to avoid
an accident. AEBS is neither designed to recognize
complex traffic situations, nor to avoid all kinds of
accidents. It is your responsibility to drive carefully
at all times. Always pay careful attention to the
traffic situation and be ready to brake. Failure to
take care may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
The system may or may not operate or may
operate with reduced function during cold or severe
weather conditions. Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog
can influence the system. Keep the front camera
and radar free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
System performance may reduce in situations
where the camera's detection capability is limited.
These situations include but are not limited to direct
or low sunlight, vehicles at night without tail lights,
narrow vehicles and unconventional vehicle types.
Do not rely on this system to replace driver judgment
and the need to maintain distance and speed.
The system may not operate correctly if you
replace the windshield with a non-Ford windshield.
Do not carry out windshield repairs in front of the
sensor. Failure to adhere to this warning may lead
to an accident or injury.
AEB System effectiveness depends on many
factors, such as speed, driver input, incremental
precipitation, lead vehicle
behavior, your vehicle’s state and road conditions
The system does not react to cyclists,
motorcyclists, pedestrians, animals or vehicles that
are driving in a different direction. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar sensing zone may
change. This could cause missed or false vehicle
detections. Contact an authorized dealer to
have the radar checked for proper coverage and
operation.
AEBS is not designed to avoid accidents
against stationary vehicles. AEBS may only reduce
the effect of a rear-end accident with stationary
vehicles on certain conditions.
The system may not detect objects with
surfaces that absorb reflections. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
The system may not operate when driving
around sharp curves and wavy roads. Failure to
take care may lead to a crash or personal injury.
135
AEBS may not work as expected if your vehicle
is not inspected by Ford Trucks Service on regular
maintenance checks.
It is driver’s responsibility to switch off the AEB
system during being towed via AEBS deactivation
switch. Otherwise, AEBS may warn and/or brake
unexpectedly.
AEBS shall be turned off by the driver while
driving off road.
OPERATION
Emergency braking system
How to maintain Advanced Emergency Braking
System?
Note: If a message regarding a blocked radar
sensor is shown in the information display, the radar
signals are obstructed. The radar sensor is located
behind a fascia cover integrated to the middlebottom of the upper grille. With obstructed radar,
the Advanced Emergency Braking System does not
function and cannot detect a vehicle ahead.
Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or false
vehicle detections. Contact an authorized dealer to
have the radar checked for proper coverage and
operation.
After connecting a new trailer to your vehicle, if
ignition is already ON, you shall turn the ignition
OFF and ON to get a fully functional AEBS.
AEBS will get deactivated if a trailer without
ABS/EBS or with a faulty ABS/EBS is detected.

When your engine has been idling for a long time, smart engine
off system warns you 30 seconds before turning off the engine
and informs you about the fact that the engine is being turned off
when a predefined time period has expired in idle with the smart
engine off feature. All you need to do to prevent engine from being
turned off is to press any of the clutch, brake or accelerator pedals
within this period. Thus, you shall deactivate this feature until you
restart the engine when you do not want your engine to be turned
off.
Other conditions when this feature is automatically deactivated is
as follows:
- When engine speed control applications (for example: PTO) are
operated
- When the park brake is not applied
- When DPF regeneration is activated
This feature would provide significant fuel saving and you shall
enjoy the privilege of being a Ford Trucks owner.
You may increase or decrease the idling speed using speed
control buttons when your vehicle is stationary. All you need to
do is to bring the speed control handle to "resume" position and
to activate this feature. After that, you shall simply decide at what
speed the engine will run using "Set +" or "Set -" buttons.
You may also use this feature in PTO applications, too. Thus, you
can set the engine speed to the optimum point in various load
conditions and obtain the highest efficiency from the PTO.
PTO applications are used in mixer vehicles, concrete pumps and
in many other similar vehicles today. It is very easy to operate
or turn off the engine or control the engine speed remotely by a
remote control with a similar special applications in vehicles such
as concrete pump. Thus, remote operation is possible without
requiring the operator to work inside the vehicle.
In emergency conditions, you may deactivate the engine speed
control by using the "off" position in speed control or by pressing
the clutch or brake pedal as specific to application.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Urea System
Your Ford Trucks vehicle with Euro5 or Euro6
emission system is equipped with urea tanks
with a capacity of 55 or 75Lt.
WARNING
Your Ford Trucks vehicle with Euro 5 or Euro6
emission system is equipped with an Urea
system.
Urea system is a selective reduction method
that removes NOx gases, which are harmful to
the environment and human health, from the
exhaust gas.
Do not turn the switch of your vehicle off for
60 seconds when you stop the engine of your
vehicle to allow that the urea left in the Urea
system is returned back to urea tank. Urea
left in the system may harm urea system
components by freezing in cold weathers.
Important Points:
Take extra care for cleaning.
Urea system is sensitive to dirt, dust and
soil. During urea filling, ensure that dirt,
dust or contaminants do not go in the urea
tank.
Pay attention to prevent dirt ingress to the tank.
Wipe the dirt and mud around the flap before
opening the tank flap. Fill urea fluid directly
from its package (can).
Make sure the funnel is clean if you will use a
funnel. Do not use funnels contaminated with
fuel.
WARNING
Urea system is sensitive to contaminants.
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid):
Urea system operates by spraying urea
solution to the exhaust gas. Urea solution used
in the urea system is defined with DIN 70070
and ISO 22241-1 standards
If you prefer to filling with a funnel, keep a
separate, clean funnel to fill urea available. Do
not use funnels contaminated with diesel fuel

Quality of the fuel and engine oil used
affects Urea system.
a-) Sulphur Content in the Fuel
Low quality fuel contains high sulfur ratio.
Sulfur may cause blockage of catalyst, a
component of the SCR system. You should
use EuroDiesel only in your vehicle.
b-) Engine Oil
Low quality and/or wrong viscosity oil
increases the oil vapour in the exhaust. This
may cause blockage of the catalyst.
Catalyst is a non-serviceable component that
cannot be cleaned.
Exhaust box shall be replaced as a whole
when it is blocked. Pay attention to the quality
of the urea, fuel and engine oil used and apply
all instructions about urea system with care in
order to avoid damages with high costs.
If the exhaust temperature is consistently low
(buses, delivery trucks), efficiency of Urea
system may be reduced and ammonia may
come out.
Contact your workshop if you continuously
smell ammonia.
User should carry out following
precautions to prevent faults and damages in
this system.
Otherwise any faults occurring should be
considered outside of the warranty cover and
Ford Otosan will not take any responsibilities!
The legal rules for the prevention
of accidents are to be considered!

Your wheel is specially polished and covered
with a transparent protection layer to protect
its brightness. Never re-polish. This polishing
operation would damage the protective layer
on the surface. On vehicles with aluminium
alloy wheels, wheel but caps shall be removed
with the wheel nut cap pliers delivered with the
tools before removing the wheel nuts.
CAUTION
Check the tire pressure periodically to prevent
irregular tire wear.
Use snow chains only on the outer tyres of
your vehicle.
Over inflated
Deflated
Proper Tire
Pressure
Low pressure cause wear on the shoulder
areas of the tire. High pressure cause wear on
the back areas of the tire.
WARNING
Please, observe the prescribed tire pressure
for your vehicle.
Very low tire pressure may cause blow-out of
the tire at high speeds and loads.
You can cause an accident and thus injuries to
others due to this.
Remove the wheel nut caps with the special
pliers provided in the toolbox of the vehicle for
aluminium alloyed wheels.
Do not attempt to remove with sharp objects
such as screwdrivers etc.

On-chassis fuel filter (Fuel pre-filter)
Fuel does not flow to the engine and system
takes air when the vehicle runs out of fuel or
when the low quality fuel is frozen in the filter.
Remedial operation required
Tractor vehicles
On-chassis fuel filter (Fuel pre-filter)
5
Fuel pre-filter performs the initial filtration
of the fuel drawn from the fuel tank. Also,
it separates the water inside the fuel and
provides fuel separated from water to the
engine.
Filtered water is collected in the container
under the filter assembly.
If the “water in fuel” warning light illuminates
when the ignition is on, loosen or unclip
the integrated water sensor under the filter
assembly and close it when clean fuel
appears.
Tighten the water sensor securely when you
are closing the tap. Otherwise, air may enter
the engine, and this may cause fuel leak.
WARNING
Care that is shown for the cleaning of the fuel
filters will contribute the service life of main
fuel filter on engine and fuel system of the
engine.
180
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Engine
After performing the necessary corrective
action, bleeding air from the system is
performed by the hand pump on the filter
head.
Press until hand pump is stiffened, and start
the engine when the pump is stiffened.
Engine coolant
CAUTION
Freezing temperature of the 50% distilled
water and 50% antifreeze mixture is -37 ºC.
On colder climates, it is possible to achieve
protection up to -50ºC by adjusting the
mixture ratio to 40% distilled water and 60%
antifreeze. Maximum antifreeze ratio is 60%,
never exceed this ratio.
WARNING
Do not continue on starting attempts if the
vehicle does not start in a few attempt. There
may still be air inside the fuel line. Pump fuel
with the hand pump, then restart again.
CAUTION
Fuel that will be taken for the vehicles
operating in cold climates shall be cold climate
fuel resistant to waxing in cold weather.
Otherwise, water inside the fuel will freeze
and prevent flow of fuel to the engine; and the
engine will not start.
Engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze
and 50% distilled water. Coolant circulates
inside the engine block and cools the engine
components. This fluid also cools the intarder
oil in vehicles with intarder.
CAUTION
Antifreeze does not prevent freezing of the
engine in winter only. It also lubricates the
water pump and extends its service life.
Ensure that the antifreeze complies with the
Ford specifications when you are purchasing
antifreeze. Lime and other chemicals in the
non-distilled water cause corrosion in the cast
engine block.
181
Cover of the engine coolant reservoir
must always be tightly closed.
Engine coolant reservoir is under the hood.
The coolant level should be between the MIN
and the MAX marks when the engine is cold,
and it shall be inspected daily.
If the coolant level is lower than the MIN mark,
the x warning shall illuminate on the display. In
this case:

Do not open the cover immediately. Wait at
least half an hour and open the cover with a
thick cloth or protective gloves, if available.
Open the cover slowly first to discharge the
pressure in the reservoir; then open the cover
completely.
• Check under the vehicle for any coolant
leaks.
• Tilt the cab, check the belts for any broken or
excessively loosened belt.
If the fan cable breaks, fan rotates in maximum
rpm; since this will worsen the fuel economy,
it is advised you to go to service after the
warning light goes on.
CAUTION
Do not refill with water when the cooling
system of a hot engine is empty or its coolant
is missing. Add hot water if available, or wait
until the engine is cooled.
Contact a Ford Otosan Authorized Dealership
for the replacement of the air filter elements
after this warning is illuminated.
WARNING
The cover of the clutch fluid reservoir shall
always be tightly closed. Ingress of foreign
material such as water or dirt causes damage
to the fuel system.
Ingress of air to the system may also cause

Inspection and Cleaning of the Flyscreen
CAUTION
Dirty flyscreen prevents air flow to the
intercooler, thus to the radiator, and reduces
the cooling capacity of the engine. Therefore,
the cleaning procedure described above is
important.
5
Flyscreen, placed in front of the radiator, is a
component that resembles a curtain and it can
be cleaned.
Its purpose is to prevent objects such as flies,
dust, bugs etc. from entering directly to the
radiator.
Inspect the Flyscreen as per the working
conditions and clean it if it is dirty. Cleaning is
performed by removing the flyscreen from the
radiator and applying pressurized water or air
to the flyscreen.
Removal of the flyscreen:
Pull the flyscreen lower bar downwards from
its sides and take it out of the lower seats that
connect it to the cooling module. Then, open
the upper cover, remove the flyscreen upper
connection springs and take it out by pulling
it upwards from this area. In this way, it would
be possible to prevent the deformations on
the cooling module that may be caused by the
flyscreen springs.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Towing the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not tow the vehicle crosswise.
5
Risk of Accident
If the vehicle is towed with the engine is not
running, the steering assist and air supplies
will not be operating.
As this would require more steering effort, you
may get out of the road or bump the towing vehicle in curves. You may install an emergency
steering pump.
If you agree on special signs with the driver of
the towing vehicle before towing the vehicle, it will prevent occurring of these kind of
problems.
CAUTION
Observe the legal requirements. Maximum
towing speed is 25 km/h, and maximum towing
distance is 100 km.
If the conditions specified above are not applied, detach the driveshaft from the axle to
prevent transmission damage.

CAUTION
• The drive shaft needs to be removed first
before towing your vehicle.
If the drive shaft is not removed, the
movement shall be transmitted from the
wheels to the transmission and operate the
internal components of the transmission that
is not pumping oil. In such a case, you may
experience serious transmission malfunctions.
This is considered out of warranty cover.
• Transmission latch shall be in high range (up)
and the transmission shall be in neutral.
• Vehicle can be towed for a maximum of 100
km.
CAUTION
Have your vehicle towed by specialists only.
Improper towing may cause damage to your
vehicle and you may experience serious
accidents.
Detach the driveshaft from the axle to if you
suspect any transmission damage.
188
Procedures to be Performed:
• If your engine is operating, have your vehicle
towed as your engine is operated. If it is not
possible to operate your engine, brake air
pressure may be reduced after a while and this
locks the emergency brakes.
This may cause serious accidents and
damages.
To prevent this condition, discharge the
emergency brakes before towing your vehicle
or connect an air line to the air tubes of your
vehicle if the specifications of the towing
vehicle allows this.
• The drive shaft needs to be removed first
before towing your vehicle.
• The key should be on the ignition switch and
on position (1) as your vehicle has a steering
lock.
• The vehicle should only be towed with a
drawbar. Towing with soft, breakable materials
cause a serious risk of accident.
