Flex Fuel Vehicle  
(FFV, iF equipped)
If your vehicle has a yellow colored fuel 
cap, you have a flex fuel vehicle. Use only 
unleaded fuel or ethanol fuel (E85).
 
d rainin\f the water 
separat\br
Your vehicle is equipped with a state of the 
art diesel fuel delivery system. It includes 
a Diesel Fuel Conditioning Module (DFCM) 
and engine mounted fine filter. The DFCM 
includes a filter, electronic fuel pump and 
water separator/drain mounted on the frame 
just below the cab driver side. Drain the 
DFCM (with engine off) during oil changes 
or as soon as possible when the WATER 
IN FUEL message is displayed. Ignoring 
the Water In Fuel message can cause the 
accumulated water to be passed to the 
engine resulting in fuel system damage.
c \b\blant
Your Super Duty uses Motorcraft® 
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant   
(orange-colored).  DO NOT use glycol 
coolant as it is not compatible with your 
vehicle.  DO NOT MIX  different colors or 
types of coolant in your vehicle.  DO NOT 
MIX  recycled coolant and new (unused) 
coolant together in the vehicle as the mixing 
of engine coolants may harm your engine’s 
cooling system. The use of an improper 
coolant may harm engine and cooling system 
components and may void the warranty. 
Ensure that ONLY the correct coolant is used.
tire pressure 
The recommended specifications are on 
the Safety Compliance Certification Label 
or Tire Label located on the on the B-Pillar 
or the edge of the driver’s door.
 As an 
added safety feature, your vehicle may be 
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure warning light when one or more 
of your tires is significantly under-inflated. 
Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading 
chapter in your Owner’s Guide for  
more information.

d iesel/Bi\bdiesel 
If your vehicle has a green colored fuel cap, 
you have a diesel vehicle which is compatible 
with diesel fuel and also biodiesel B20 or less.
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from 
vegetable oils and/or animal fats. Your   
diesel engine can operate on diesel fuels 
containing up to 20% biodiesel, or B20.   
(Use only biodiesel that meets ASTM 6751 
or EN14214 standards.) 
Ensure that you purchase biodiesel from 
a reputable source. Ford recommends 
using biodiesel within six months of the 
manufacture date as it can degrade with 
time, and possibly damage your vehicle. 
diesel exhaust Fluid (deF)
The emissions system uses Diesel Exhaust 
Fluid (DEF) which MUST be replenished at 
regular intervals. Failure to do so could cause 
vehicle speed limitations and/or result in the 
vehicle entering an idle-only mode. 
Your message center will alert you when 
you begin to get low on DEF. The first alert 
will appear in the message center when you 
have approximately 800 miles left to empty.  
Certain conditions such as driving styles, 
trailer towing or fast acceleration will require 
filling the tank more often. 
The DEF tank has a blue capped filler port 
and is next to your diesel fuel inlet. This tank 
can be filled using a nozzle at a DEF filling 
station or using a DEF bottle with a spout. 
Motorcraft
® DEF bottles are recommended 
as they are designed to be spill proof and will  stop the flow of DEF 
when the tank is full. 
Ensure that you do 
NOT put DEF in 
the fuel tank as this 
can cause engine 
damage which is not covered by your 
vehicle’s warranty. Immediately wipe away 
any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces 
with water and a damp cloth to prevent 
damage to the paint.
Use only DEF certified by 
the American Petroleum 
Institute (API) such   
as Motorcraft
® 
DEF or equivalent.   
Look for the API   
certification trademark. 
For more information on this system, refer to 
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System 
in your Diesel Supplement. 
 
Fuel Filter
Your Ford truck includes a LOW FUEL 
PRESSURE monitor to let you know 
that the engine is not receiving the fuel it 
needs. Driving with low fuel pressure can 
damage injection equipment and void your 
warranty. Check or switch your fuel source 
if you are replacing filters more often than 
the recommended interval. 
sync ® (iF equipped) 
Your SYNC® system has unique phone and 
media features which allow you to make and 
receive hands-free calls as well as play your 
media selections by artist, album, genre 
or similar music. You can receive Vehicle 
Health Reports and set up and use 911 
Assist™ which can call emergency services 
if you have an accident. SYNC
® also offers 
Traffic, Directions and Information which, if 
activated, can provide turn–by–turn directions, 
access to traffic reports, sports scores and 
business searches. To learn more about 
SYNC
® and to set up your profile which will 
allow you to use Vehicle Health Reports 
and the Traffic, Directions and Information 
feature, please visit www.SyncMyRide.com 
and see your SYNC
® Supplement.
sirius® satellite radi\b 
(iF equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with satellite 
radio. SIRIUS
® satellite radio broadcasts 
music, sports, news and entertainment 
programming. For more information and a
