FORD F-450 2022 Owners Manual

WHAT ARE THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
Each circuit is individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The switches are labeled AUX 1 through
AUX 6. They only operate when the ignition
is in the on position or in the off position
when Delay Accessory is active, whether
the engine is running or not. We
recommend that you leave the engine
running to maintain battery charge when
using the switches for an extended time or
when using higher current draw
accessories. When a switch is turned on,
the indicator light on the switch illuminates
and the circuit provides power to the
device wired to that switch. LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCH WIRING
There are three sets of blunt-cut and
sealed circuits. Two sets are under the
hood and behind the battery tray, and one
set is inside your vehicle at the passenger
footwell.
The powered set (A) is taped behind the
battery tray and has a red spot tape mark.
The second set (B) is also under the hood.
It is taped behind the battery tray and has
a white spot tape mark. This set routes to
the interior passenger footwell.
Remove the battery and battery tray to
access the under hood circuits.

The interior set is taped on a wire harness
by the passenger side footwell. This set is
the other end of the circuits taped behind
the battery tray, with a white spot tape
mark.
Remove the fuse panel access door in the
kick panel to access the wires. If you do not
see them, you may need to pull them
down.
Additional information on fuse and relay
locations is available. See Fuses (page
387). See your authorized dealer for service.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
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.
It is important that you have your vehicle
serviced at the proper times. These
intervals serve two purposes: first is to
maintain the reliability of your vehicle and
the second is to keep the cost of owning
your vehicle down.
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 Capacities and
Specifications (page 467).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may
result in vehicle damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Our Genuine Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock our parts and our
authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)
parts and labor limited warranty.
If you do not use our authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and could
affect emissions compliance. 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.
Your vehicle comes with the Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor system, a message
appears in the information display at the
proper oil change interval. This interval
may be up to one year or
10,000 mi
(16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed
10,000 mi (16,000 km).
When the oil change message appears in
the information display, 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 to reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
after each oil change. See
Resetting the
Engine Oil Change Reminder (page 401).
If your information 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.
You can drive high performance vehicles
in such a way that may lead to higher oil
consumption including extended time at
high engine speeds, high loads, engine
braking, hard cornering maneuvers, track
and off-road usage. Under these
conditions, oil consumption of
approximately 1 quart per 500 miles (1 liter
per 800 km) is possible. Check the engine
oil level at every refueling and adjust to
maintain proper levels to avoid engine
damage.
622
2022 Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202103, First-Printing Scheduled Maintenance

It is important to rely upon your dealership
to properly diagnose and repair your
vehicle.
We strongly recommend only using our
genuine or our authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
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.
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. Have discolored fluids that also
show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination checked
immediately. Make sure to change the 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 our approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections. Check Every Month
The air filter restriction gauge. 1
The engine oil level.
Function of all interior and the exterior lights.
The tires including the spare for wear and proper pressure. The windshield washer fluid level.

at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great. Multi-Point Inspection
