FORD F650 2003 10.G User Guide

Brake reserve system warning (if equipped)
Illuminates to indicate normal
Hydromax booster reserve system
activation when the engine is OFF
and the service brake pedal is
applied, or when the ignition is in
the ON or START position.
This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and
the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking.
If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates
inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.
Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
and the engine is off. If the brake
warning lamp does not illuminate at
this time seek service immediately.
If equipped with a hydraulic brake system and the warning lamp remains
illuminated after engine start up, this indicates a brake system
malfunction. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service
immediately.
If equipped with an air brake system, the warning light stays on until the
air pressure builds up to 414 kPa (60 psi). If the air pressure drops
below 414 kPa (60 psi) during operation, the remaining brake system is
still operational but the stopping distance will be greater.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
and the engine is off. If the light
remains on after the vehicle is
started, continues to flash or fails to
illuminate, have the system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on,
the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective
unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated.

Trailer ABS brake system (if equipped)
Illuminates briefly when the engine
is powered-up and only when a PLC
trailer or a PLC diagnostic tool is
connected. If the light remains on
after the vehicle is started,
continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the system serviced
immediately.
Parking brake warning (Hydraulic brakes only)
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
and the engine is off. Also
illuminates when the parking brake
is engaged. If the brake warning
lamp does not illuminate at these
times, seek service immediately.
Safety belt
Illuminates to remind you to fasten
your safety belts. For more
information, refer to theSeating
and safety restraintschapter.
Check trans (Allison automatic transmission)
The lamp will illuminate for several
seconds after the ignition is turned
to the ON position. Illumination of
this light indicates that a problem
has been detected and shifting may be restricted. Depending upon the
severity of the problem, the read-out digit on the shifter display may be
blank. Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The
ECU may not respond to shift selector requests, since operating
limitations are being placed on the transmission, i.e. upshifts and
downshifts may be restricted. Direction changes will not occur.
Refer to the Transmission Operator’s Manual for more information.

Range inhibit
Illuminates when the transmission is
not engaged in the selected gear.
The warning light will go off when
the gearshift lever is adjusted in to
the appropriate gear.
Refer to the Transmission Operator’s Manual for more information.
Charging system (if equipped)
Illuminates when the ignition is
turned to the ON position and the
engine is off, or an over voltage
condition requiring electrical system service.
Wait to start
Indicates the air intake heater is in
operation and special starting
procedures are required. Refer to
theDrivingchapter.
If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use ether or any
other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids (ether) in an
engine equipped with an air intake heater could result in damage
and/or personal injury.

Water in fuel (if equipped)
During refueling it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your fuel tank. Your
vehicle fuel system is equipped with
a fuel filter/water separator to
remove water from the fuel. The indicator light illuminates when the fuel
filter/water separator has a significant quantity of water, or when the
ignition key is switched to the START position. If the light illuminates
when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible,
shut off the engine and drain the filter bowl. Allowing water to stay in
the system could result in extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel
injection system.
To drain the fuel filter/water separator (refer toMaintenance and
Specificationschapter for procedure). Rotate the valve at the bottom of
the filter assembly allowing water to drain from the system. Close the
valve upon completion.
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is
moving.
Air clean warning (if equipped)
Illuminates when the air system is
restricted (dirty, clogged).
Turn signal
Illuminates when the left or right
turn signal or the hazard lights are
turned on. If one or both of the
indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out
turn signal bulb. Refer toExterior bulbsin theLightschapter.
High beams
Illuminates when the high beam
headlamps are turned on.

GAUGES

Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains
within the normal area (the area
between the“H”and“C”). If it
enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer toEngine
coolantin theMaintenance and
specificationschapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication
will not be accurate.
Engine oil pressure gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. At
normal operating temperature, the
needle will be in the normal range
(the area between the“L”and“H”);
if the needle goes below the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil
level. Add oil if needed (refer to
Engine oilin theMaintenance
and specificationschapter). If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.

Air pressure gauge and warning buzzer (if equipped)
Indicates the amount of air pressure
in the brake system (green=primary,
red=secondary) in pounds per
square inch. When the pressure is
too low for normal brake operation
(less than 414 kPa [60 psi]) and the
ignition is turned to ON:
•a warning buzzer sounds
•the warning light illuminates
All vehicles have a dual-pointer air
pressure gauge to indicate the pressure in both brake circuits.
Vehicles equipped with rear air suspension also have a dual-pointer air
pressure gauge.
Do not drive the vehicle when the low air pressure buzzer is
sounding or the warning light is lit. These warnings indicate
there is not enough air pressure for the brake or suspension system to
operate properly.
Battery voltage gauge
Indicates battery voltage. If the
pointer moves and stays outside the
normal operating range, have the
vehicle’s electrical system checked
as soon as possible.

Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or on a grade.
When refueling the vehicle from
empty indication, the amount of fuel
that can be added will be less than
the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.
The FUEL DOOR icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
