ECO mode FORD F650 2000 10.G Owners Manual

Manual heating and air conditioning system
Fan speed control
Controls the volume of air circulated
in the vehicle.
Temperature control knob
Controls the temperature of the
airflow inside the vehicle.
Mode selector control
Controls the direction of the airflow
to the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor will operate in all modes except
(Panel) and(Floor). However, the air conditioning will only function
if the outside temperature is about 10°C (50°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
•MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than A/C but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle
faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode
can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the
vehicle.
•A/C-Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is quieter than MAX A/C
but not as economical. Airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers.

The push button shifter has a R
(Reverse), N (Neutral) and D
(Drive) selections as well as a
MODE button, up arrow (for
upshifts) and a down arrow
(downshift) and a digital display.
When a range button is pressed, a
tone will sound, the SELECT
indicator displays a chosen
operation (if the Electronic Control
Unit determines the shift is
acceptable) and the transmission
will shift to the starting range. In D
(Drive), selection of a specific gear
can be accomplished by pressing the
up or down arrow button. If the
CHECK TRANS light (located on the instrument panel) is illuminated,
the shifter control pad may be disabled, tones will not be heard, shifts
may not occur and directional shift changes will not be able to be
performed.
The MODE button may be used to
activate a second shift schedule
(this is typically programmed for
Economywhich will enable the
transmission to shift at a lower RPM
to conserve fuel).
These transmissions incorporate a hold feature to prohibit upshifting
above the gear selected during normal driving. During downhill
operation, the transmission may upshift from the selected gear if the
Electronic Control Unit detects the possibility of engine damage from
exceeding the governed engine speed.

Connecting the jumper cables
1. Position the vehicles so that they
do not touch one another.
2. Apply the parking brakes.
3. Switch off the engine and any
unnecessary electrical equipment.
4. Find the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery.
5. Using the jumper cables, connect
the positive (+) terminal of the
discharged battery to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery.
Note: In the illustration, lightning
bolts are used to designate the
assisting (boosting) battery.
6. Connect one end of the cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery and the other end to
a ground at least 12 inches from the
battery of the discharged vehicle.
The vehicle frame is usually a good ground.
7. Ensure that the jump leads are clear of moving parts of the engine,
and that the clamps from one cable do not touch the clamps on the
other cable.
8. Do not lean over the batteries when making the connections.
Do not connect the end of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an
explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
Jump starting
1. Start the booster vehicle and run the engine at moderately increased
speed.
2. After a few minutes, start the engine of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
3. After starting, run the engine at about 1,000 RPM for 3–5 minutes.

Driving style—good driving and fuel economy habits
Give consideration to the lists that follow and you may be able to change
a number of variables and improve your fuel economy.
Habits
•Smooth, moderate operation can yield up to 10% savings in fuel.
•Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fuel
economy.
•Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy.
•Slow down gradually.
•Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 88 km/h [55 mph] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 105 km/h [65 mph]).
•Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy.
•Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving may reduce fuel
economy.
Conditions
•Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy.
•Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
12–16 km (8–10 miles) of driving.
•Flat terrain driving improves fuel economy over hilly roads.
•Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the accelerator.
•Close windows for highway driving.
EXTERIOR BULBS
Check operation of lamps, safety equipment and warning signals
It is a good safety practice to check operation of headlamps, parking
lamps, turn signals, clearance and marker lamps, instrument panel and
control lamps each day.
Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamp bulbs:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position.
