Cold Weather Starting
WARNINGS
Do not use starting fluid, for exampleether, in the air intake system. Suchfluid could cause immediateexplosive damage to the engine andpossible personal injury.
Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcoholor kerosene to diesel fuel. Thiscreates a serious fire hazard andcauses engine performance problems.
We recommend that the engine blockheater be used for starting when thetemperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. SeeEngine Block Heater (page 181).
When operating in cold weather, you mayuse Motorcraft® cetane improvers ornon-alcohol-based cetane improvers froma reputable manufacturer as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine does not start, switch theignition off and wait 30 seconds beforetrying again.
Switch the ignition on. Do notstart the engine until theglow-plug indicator turns off.
When the glow plug pre-heat indicatorturns off, turn the key to start. After youstart the engine, the glow plugs mayremain on for a period. If you do not startthe engine before the glow plug activationtime ends, you will need to reset the glowplugs by switching the ignition off. Afterthe engine starts, allow it to idle for about15 seconds. This protects the engine. Donot increase engine speed until the oilpressure gauge indicates normal pressure.
Cold Weather Operation
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heatthe engine to its normal operatingtemperature. Long periods of idling,especially in cold weather, can cause abuildup of deposits which can cause enginedamage.
Change to a lighter grade engine oil tomake starting easier under theseconditions. Refer to engine oilspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperatures. Diesel fuel which has notbeen properly formulated for the ambientconditions may gel which can clog the fuelfilters. One indication that the fuel filter(s)may be clogged is if the engine starts, stallsafter a short time, and then does notrestart. If you have been using biodiesel,you may need to use a fuel with lowerbiodiesel content, try another brand, ordiscontinue using biodiesel. Do not usealcohol based additives to correct fuelgelling. This may result in damage to thefuel injectors and system. Use the properanti-gel and performance improvementproduct. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).

FUEL QUALITY - E85
Choosing the Right Fuel - Flex FuelVehicles
Flex fuel vehicles have one of the followingidentifiers:
•Yellow fuel filler cap.
•Yellow bezel around the fuel filler inlet.
•Yellow fuel filler housing.
•Yellow E85 label on the fuel tank fillerdoor.
Your vehicle is designed to operate onregular unleaded gasoline with a minimumpump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 orregular unleaded gasoline blended with amaximum of 85% ethanol (E85).
Some fuel stations, particularly those inhigh altitude areas, offer fuels posted asregular unleaded gasoline with an octanerating below 87. We do not recommendthese fuels.
For best overall vehicle and engineperformance, premium fuel with an octanerating of 91 or higher is recommended. Theperformance gained by using premium fuelis most noticeable in hot weather as wellas other conditions, for example whentowing a trailer. See Towing (page 268).
Do not use any fuel other than thoserecommended because they could lead toengine damage that will not be covered bythe vehicle Warranty.
Note:Use of any fuel other than thoserecommended can impair the emissioncontrol system and cause a loss of vehicleperformance.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
•Fuels containing more than 85%ethanol or E100 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel (using leaded fuel isprohibited by law).
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (commonly knownas MMT), which is a manganese-basedfuel additive, will impair engineperformance and affect the emissioncontrol system.
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contactan authorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.

Switching Between E85 andGasoline
We do not recommend repeatedlyalternating between E85 and gasoline. Ifyou switch from using E85 to gasoline, orfrom gasoline to E85, add as much fuel aspossible, at least half a tank. Drive yourvehicle immediately for a minimum of 5 mi(8 km) to allow it to adapt to the changein ethanol concentration. If you use E85exclusively, we recommend that you fillthe fuel tank with regular unleadedgasoline at each scheduled oil change.
FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Fuel Requirements - Choosing TheRight Fuel: Vehicles OperatedWhere Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel FuelIs Required (UnitedStates/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.Virgin Islands And Other Locales)
You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Dieselfuel (also known as ULSD) designated asnumber 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. Youmay operate your vehicle on diesel fuelscontaining up to 20% biodiesel, alsoknown as B20. These fuels should meetthe ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.Outside of North America, use fuelsmeeting EN590 or equivalent local marketstandard.
Note:The vehicle Warranty does not coverdamage caused by using an improper typeof fuel or fuel additive.
Note:Do not blend used engine oil withdiesel fuel under any circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel willsignificantly increase your vehicle’s exhaustemissions and reduce engine life due toincreased internal wear.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16-500 ppm) or high sulfurdiesel fuel (greater than 500ppm) in your diesel engine will causecertain emission components tomalfunction which may also cause theservice engine soon light to illuminateindicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperature. For best results attemperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it isrecommended to use a diesel fuel whichhas been seasonally adjusted for theambient conditions.
Fuel Requirements - Choosing TheRight Fuel: Vehicles OperatedWhere Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel FuelIs Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably onlow-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, theengine must be a factory built high-sulfurengine (available as a dealer order optionfor select markets) or an ultra low sulfurdiesel fuel configured engine that has beenretrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel usingFord Motor Company dealer service parts.Failure to use retrofit components otherthan those available through yourauthorized dealer will result in coolantsystem damage, engine overheating,selective catalyst reduction system ordiesel particulate filter damage andpossible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for usewith high sulfur diesel fuel in markets withdiesel fuel that has sulfur content greaterthan 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel enginedesigned to use only Ultra Low SulfurDiesel fuel may result in damage to engineemission control devices and theaftertreatment system, potentiallyrendering the vehicle inoperable.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onengine components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition fromoff to on several times after refuelingto allow the fuel system to pump thefuel from the tank to the engine. Onrestarting, cranking time will take a fewseconds longer than normal. Withkeyless ignition, just start the engine.Crank time will be longer than usual.
•Normally, adding 1.06 gal (4 L) of fuelis enough to restart the engine. If thevehicle is out of fuel and on a steepgrade, more than 1.06 gal (4 L) may berequired.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION SYSTEM - DIESEL
Your vehicle may have a selective catalyticreduction system. The system helps reduceemission levels of oxides of nitrogen fromthe exhaust system. The systemautomatically injects diesel exhaust fluidinto the exhaust system to enable correctselective catalytic reduction systemfunction.
Note:Selective catalytic reduction systemsare not fitted to vehicles in markets whereonly high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
In order for the system to operate correctlyyou must maintain the diesel exhaust fluidlevel.
A warning message appears in theinformation display when the dieselexhaust fluid level is low. If a warningmessage appears, refill the diesel exhaustfluid tank as soon as possible. SeeInformation Messages (page 128).

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank inCold Climates
Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if theambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C).Your vehicle has a preheating systemwhich allows diesel exhaust fluid tooperate below 12°F (-11°C). If you do notuse your vehicle for an extended periodwhen the ambient temperature is below12°F (-11°C), the fluid in the tank mayfreeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluidfreezes it may damage the tank. This is notcovered by the vehicle warranty.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid WarningMessages and Vehicle Operations
WARNINGS
Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilledwhen low or replaced whencontaminated or your vehicle speedbecomes limited to 50 mph (80 km/h). Inthese conditions, drive with caution andrefill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. Ifthe diesel exhaust fluid becomes emptyor contaminated and fluid is not replaced,your vehicle becomes limited to engine idleonly once stopped. In these conditions, becautious where you stop your vehiclebecause you may not be able to drive longdistances or maintain highway speeds untilyou refill or replace the diesel exhaust fluid.
