Engine Compartment (with Engine Stopped)
Engine OilUse the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the
proper operating range. SeeEngine oil checkin
theMaintenancechapter.
Engine CoolantLook through the plastic reservoir or the clear
sight glass on the reservoir (depending upon
vehicle equipment) and verify the coolant level is
within the proper operating range.Do not
remove the pressure cap until the coolant
has cooled.SeeEngine coolant checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Power Steering
FluidVerify that the fluid level is in the proper
operating range. SeePower steering fluid check
in theMaintenancechapter.
Brake FluidRemove the master cylinder caps and inspect the
fluid level. SeeBrake fluid checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Clutch FluidRemove the cap and inspect the fluid level. See
Clutch fluid and linkagein theMaintenance
chapter.
Belts (Fan,
Alternator, Water
Pump and A/C
Compressor)Inspect for glazing, fraying or cracking. There
should be no more than 5-7 cracks per rib, per
inch (2.5 cm).
Fluid LeaksInspect for signs of fluid puddles or dripping fluid
on the ground under the engine, or the underside
of the engine.
HVAC Air InletInspect for debris that may have collected on the
HVAC air inlet grille or inside the exterior module
as this may reduce system performance.

Engine Starting (Parking Brake Applied)
Safety and
Emergency
Equipment•Before entering the cab, verify that the vehicle
is equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
•Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps
and grab handles, inside and out (as well as
behind), are tight and clean. Use extreme caution
and a three-point stance at all times.
•Inspect door latches for proper closing,
latching and locking.
Starting the
EngineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, then
release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine Oil
PressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Air Chime (If
Equipped with an
Air Compressor)The low air pressure warning chime should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The chime
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cut-out pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.

RimsInspect for damaged or bent rims. They should
not have welding repairs, and there should be no
rust trails that indicate it is loose on the wheel.
Lug NutsVerify all lug nuts are present and not loose (look
for rust trails around the lug nuts). There should
be no cracks radiating from the lug bolt holes or
distortion of the bolt holes.
Hub Oil SealsInspect wheel hub oil seal for leaks and, if sight
glass if present, verify the oil level is adequate.
Oil-lubricated
Front Wheel
BearingsInspect for proper lubrication level if the hubcap
has a transparent window. If the hubcap does not
have a transparent window, remove the rubber
fill-plug and inspect for proper level.
Fuel Area
Fuel Tank(s)Verify:
•tank(s) and cap(s) are secure
•there is no damage to the tank(s).
LeaksInspect for leaks from the tank(s).
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Area
DEF TanksVerify:
•tanks and caps are secure
•there is no damage to the tanks.
LeaksInspect for leaks from the tanks.
Underbody
DriveshaftVerify:
•the driveshaft is not bent or cracked
•all driveshaft couplings are secure.
Exhaust SystemVerify:
•the visible outside parts are securely mounted
•there are no cracks, holes or severe dents.
Frame•Inspect for cracks or bends in longitudinal
frame members.
•Verify there are no loose, cracked, bent, broken
or missing crossmembers or crossmember
fasteners.

Confirmation of disabling Belt-Minder® is provided by the safety belt
warning light flashing four times per second for three seconds.
Confirmation of enabling Belt-Minder® is provided by:
•the safety belt warning light flashing four times per second for three
seconds
•the safety belt warning light turning off
•the safety belt warning light flashing four times per second for three
seconds.
After receiving confirmation, the procedure is complete.
CHILD RESTRAINT AND SAFETY BELT MAINTENANCE
Inspect the vehicle safety belts and child safety seat systems periodically
to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Inspect the
vehicle and child seat safety belts to make sure there are no nicks, tears
or cuts. Replace if necessary. All vehicle safety belt assemblies, including
retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle assemblies, buckle support
assemblies (slide bar-if equipped), shoulder belt height adjusters (if
equipped), shoulder belt guide on seat back (if equipped), child safety
seat LATCH and tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should be
inspected after a crash. Read the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for additional inspection and maintenance information
specific to the child restraint. Ford Motor Company recommends that all
safety belt assemblies in use in vehicles involved in a crash be replaced.
However, if the crash was minor and an authorized dealer finds that the
belts do not show damage and continue to operate properly, they do not
need to be replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a crash
should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper
operation is noted.
For proper care of soiled safety belts, seeCleaning the interiorin the
Vehicle Carechapter.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the diesel exhaust fluid level falls below
0.5 gallons (1.9L) in the five gallon (19.0L) tank or one gallon
(3.8L) in the nine gallon (34.0L) tank. Refill the tank or, at a
minimum, add at least one gallon (3.8L) to the five gallon (19.0L) tank
or two gallons (7.6L) to the nine gallon (34.0L) tank.
Diesel Particulate Filter (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the soot level in the diesel particulate filter
has reached a point where it requires operator assistance. See
Diesel particulate filterin theMaintenancechapter, and your
engine operator’s manual, for more details.
Do Not Shift (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a problem has been detected in
the transmission; shifting may be restricted. Depending on the
severity of the problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn
blank.
Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The control
unit 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 do not occur.
Direction Indicator
It illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard
warning flasher is switched on. If the indicators stay on or flash
faster, check for a burned out bulb.
Electronic Locking Differential
It illuminates when using the electronic locking differential.
Engine Oil Pressure (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when engine oil pressure is low.
Fasten Safety belt
It illuminates and a chime sounds to remind you to fasten your
safety belt.
