AUDIO AND
MEDIA CONTROLS
• Press VOL+ or VOL– to increase or
decrease your volume level.
• Press M repeatedly to access all
possible media sources.
• Press
to access voice recognition*.
• Press
to access SYNC®
phone features*.
PUSH-BUTTON START*
Press the brake pedal and then press
the START STOP button.
An indicator light comes on when
the ignition is on and when the
engine starts.
If you leave your vehicle idling for an
extended period of time, the engine and
ignition automatically turn off.
Before the engine shuts down, a
message appears in the information
display allowing the driver time to
override the shutoff feature.
Note: Your intelligent access
transmitter must be inside your
vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the engine.
6 – 7ELECTRONIC SHIFT
4WD SYSTEM*
The electronic shift 4WD system allows
you to choose between 2WD, 4x4
AUTO*, 4x4 HIGH or 4x4 LOW.
2H (2WD) sends power to the rear
wheels only and should be used for
street and highway driving. Provides
optimal smoothness and fuel economy
at high speeds.
4A (4x4 AUTO)* provides electronic
control four-wheel drive with power
delivered to the front and rear wheels,
as required, for increased traction.
This is appropriate for all on-road
driving conditions, including dry road
surfaces, but is especially useful on wet
pavement, snow, dirt or gravel.
4H (4x4 HIGH) helps provide extra
traction while driving in snow or
on icy roads or off road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on
dry pavement.
4L (4x4 LOW) uses extra gearing to
provide maximum power to all four
wheels at reduced speeds. Intended
only for off-road applications such
as deep sand, steep grades or pulling
heavy objects. 4L (4x4 LOW) does not
engage while the vehicle is moving
above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal
and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4x4
LOW) in the Four-Wheel Drive chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for details. ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL*
When engaged, the system temporarily
locks the rear axle, allowing both rear
wheels to turn at the same speed. This
function helps to provide additional
traction as needed.
Note: Do not use this feature on
dry surfaces.
To use:
4X4: Pull the 4WD control.
4X2: Twist the
control to ON.
The indicator light
continuously
displays in the cluster when the ELD
is active.
INTEGRATED TRAILER
BRAKE CONTROLLER*
The fully integrated trailer brake
controller assists in smooth and
effective trailer braking by powering the
trailer’s electric or electric-over
hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
The Gain setting is used to set the
trailer brake controller for specific
towing conditions and should be
changed as towing conditions change.
Changes to towing conditions include
trailer load, vehicle load, road
conditions and weather.
Use the Gain + and – adjustment
buttons to increase or decrease the
braking feature’s power output to
the trailer in 0.5 increments. Adjust the Gain by:
1.
Pressing the Gain+ or Gain–
buttons to increase or decrease
the setting to the desired
starting point. For example, a
Gain setting of 6.0 is a good
starting point for heavier loads.
2. Test the adjusted Gain
setting again after you make
adjustments. When testing:
A. In a traffic-free environment,
tow the trailer on a dry, level
surface at a speed of 20-25 mph
(30-40 km/h) and squeeze the
manual control lever completely.
B. If the trailer wheels lock
up (the tires will squeal),
reduce the Gain setting. If
the trailer wheels turn freely,
increase the Gain setting.
C. The proper Gain setting will
be at the point just below
trailer wheel lock-up.
Note: If towing a heavier trailer,
trailer wheel lock-up may not be
attainable even with the maximum
Gain setting of 10.

EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust,
dirt, water, snow and ice. Open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start
fueling. Wait 5-10 seconds after pumping the fuel before removing the fuel
filler nozzle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
To refuel using a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel. The fuel funnel
location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
• In SuperCab and SuperCrew® vehicles: Attached behind the rear seat on
the passenger side.
• In Regular cab vehicles: Attached behind the passenger seat. For easier
access, move the passenger seat forward.
Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel system and fill the tank with fuel
from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You
can purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL TYPE
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of either 23 gallons
(81.7L) or 36 gallons (136.2L). Use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle
was not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe
duty usage, such as when towing a trailer. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle comes with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that
displays a low tire pressure warning light
when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle comes with a full-size spare tire located under the vehicle, just
forward of the rear bumper. Use it for emergency use only, and be sure to
replace it as soon as possible.
The jack and tools location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
• In SuperCab and SuperCrew® models: Attached behind the rear seat on
the passenger side.
• In Regular cab models: Attached to the floor behind the passenger seat—
for easier access, move the passenger seat forward.
For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires
chapter in your Owner’s Manual. TOWING YOUR F-150 ON FOUR WHEELS
In an emergency situation, you can flat-tow (tow your vehicle on four wheels)
under the following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward for towing.
• You place the transmission in neutral (N).
• You do not exceed a maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h).
• You do not travel beyond a maximum distance of 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
Note: For other towing features including neutral tow and recreational
towing, see your Owner’s Manual for details.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Your new Ford F-150 comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance. To receive roadside assistance in the United
States, call 1-800-241-3673. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
Essential Information
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light
to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
