MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 12 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.

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.

WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS
Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle
condition that could become serious.
Some lamps illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.

Oil Pressure
It illuminates when the engine
oil pressure is low.
Powertrain Malfunction, Reduced
Power, Electronic Throttle Control,
Check 4X4 Illuminates when the powertrain
or four-wheel drive require
service. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the engine is off, this is
normal. If it illuminates when the
engine is on this indicates the emission
control system requires service. If it flashes,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
See Emission Law (page 760). See
Starting and Stopping the Engine –
Warning Lamps
(page 244).
Stop Safely Illuminates if an electrical
component requires service or a
failure that causes your vehicle
to shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode.
Tailgate Ajar It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the tailgate is not
completely closed.
Water in Fuel It illuminates when the fuel and
water separator has a significant
quantity of water in it and
requires immediate draining. WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT

Note:
Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel significantly
increases your vehicle ’s exhaust emissions
and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
We recommend Top Tier diesel fuel where
available to help minimize engine deposits
and maintain optimal vehicle and engine
performance.
For additional information, visit
www .t op tier g a s. c om .
You should use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
designated as number 1-D or 2-D with a
maximum of 15-ppm sulfur in your diesel
vehicle. You can operate your vehicle on
diesel fuels containing up to 20%
biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels
should meet the ASTM D975 diesel or the
ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
specifications. Outside of North America,
use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent
local market standard. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high-sulfur
diesel fuel (greater than 500
ppm) in your diesel engine will cause
certain emission components to
malfunction which could also cause the
service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold
temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), we
recommend using a diesel fuel which has
been seasonally adjusted for the ambient
conditions. Choosing the Right Fuel: Vehicles
Operated Where Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel Fuel Is Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably on
low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
engine must be a factory-built high-sulfur
engine (available as a dealer order option
for select markets) or an ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
authorized dealer service parts. Failure to
use retrofit components other than those
available through your authorized dealer
results in coolant system damage, engine
overheating, selective catalyst reduction
system or diesel particulate filter damage
and possible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low-sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high-sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel could result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the after
treatment system, potentially rendering
the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high-sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in an 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.
