Cold Weather Starting (FlexibleFuel Vehicles Only)
The starting characteristics of all gradesof E85 ethanol make it unsuitable for usewhen ambient temperatures fall below-0°F (-18°C). Consult your fuel distributorfor the availability of winter grade ethanol.As the outside temperature approachesfreezing, ethanol fuel distributors shouldsupply winter grade ethanol, the same aswith unleaded gasoline.
If summer grade ethanol is used in coldweather conditions, -0°F (-18°C), you mayexperience increased cranking times, roughidle or hesitation until the engine haswarmed up.
You may experience a decrease inperformance when the engine is cold whenoperating on E85 ethanol.
Do not use starting fluid such as ether inthe air intake system. Such fluid couldcause immediate explosive damage to theengine and possible personal injury.
If you should experience cold weatherstarting problems on E85 ethanol, andneither an alternative brand of E85 ethanolnor an engine block heater is available, theaddition of unleaded gasoline to your tankimproves cold starting performance. Yourvehicle is designed to operate on E85ethanol alone, unleaded gasoline alone, orany mixture of the two.
If the Engine Fails to Start Using thePreceding Instructions (Flexible FuelVehicles Only)
1. Press the accelerator pedal downone-third to one-half of its travel, andthen crank the engine.
2. When the engine starts, release thekey, then gradually release theaccelerator pedal as the engine speedincreases. If the engine still does notstart, repeat Step 1.

Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING
Exhaust leaks may result in entry ofharmful and potentially lethal fumesinto the passenger compartment. Ifyou smell exhaust fumes inside yourvehicle, have your vehicle inspectedimmediately. Do not drive if you smellexhaust fumes.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and then leave theengine idling for long periods of time, werecommend that you do one of thefollowing:
•Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5centimeters).
•Set your climate control to outside air.
STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE -
6.7L DIESEL
Read all starting instructions carefullybefore you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), theuse of the correct grade engine oil isessential for proper operation. Refer toengine oil specifications for moreinformation. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 427).
Your vehicle may have a cold weatherstarting strategy that prevents severeengine damage by assisting in enginelubrication warm-up. In extremely coldambient temperatures, this strategyactivates and prevents the acceleratorpedal from being used for 30 seconds afteryou start your vehicle. A message appearsin the information display as your vehiclewarms up. By not allowing the acceleratorpedal to be used, the engine oil is allowedto properly lubricate the bearings
preventing engine damage due to lack ofproper lubrication. After the 30 secondwarm-up period, the accelerator pedal willbe operational again and a messageappears informing you the vehicle is ok todrive.
When you start the engine in extremelycold temperatures -15°F (-26°C), werecommend that you allow the engine toidle for several minutes before you drivethe vehicle.
Before starting the engine check thefollowing:
•Make sure all occupants have fastenedtheir seatbelts.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the transmission is in park(P).
Note:Do not press the accelerator duringstarting.
Diesel Engine Fast Start Glow PlugSystem
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
•Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
•Glow Plug Control Module
•Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
•Barometric pressure sensor
•Environmental temperature sensor
The powertrain and glow plug controlmodules electronically control the glowplug system. After you switch the ignitionon, the glow plug control moduleimmediately energizes the glow plugs. Theglow plug control module uses the enginecoolant temperature, barometric pressuresensor and environmental temperature

sensor to determine how long the glowplugs stay energized. The required time forthe glow plugs to be energized decreasesas the coolant temperature, barometricpressure and environmental temperatureincrease.
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).

Operation in Standing Water
Ingestion of water into the diesel enginecan result in immediate and severedamage to the engine. If driving throughwater, slow down to avoid splashing waterinto the intake. If the engine stalls, and yoususpect ingestion of water into the engine,do not try to restart the engine. Consultyour dealer for service immediately.
Your fuel tank vents to the atmosphere byvalves on top of the tank and through thefuel cap. If water reaches the top of thetank, the valves may pull water into thefuel tank. Water in the fuel can causeperformance issues and damage the fuelinjection system.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissionsreduction system on your vehicle. It filtersharmful diesel particulates (soot) from theexhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. Theregeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and the exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and after youhave switched the engine off. This is apotential fire hazard.
Note:Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to the high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.
Note:Changes in the engine or exhaustsound may be heard during the regenerationprocess.
The diesel particulate filter on your vehiclerequires periodic regeneration to maintainits correct function. Your vehicle will carryout this process automatically.
If your journeys meet one of the followingconditions:
•You drive only short distances.
•You frequently switch the ignition onand off.
•Your journeys contain a high level ofacceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips withthe following conditions to assist theregeneration process:
•Drive your vehicle in more favorableconditions, which you will find at highervehicle speeds in normal driving, on amain road or freeway for a minimumof 20 minutes. This drive may includeshort stops that will not affect theregeneration process.
•Avoid prolonged idling and alwaysobserve speed limits and roadconditions.
•Do not switch the ignition off.
•Select a suitable gear to ideallymaintain engine speed between 1500and 3000 RPM.
