Filling the DEF Tank
WARNING:Make sure that DEF does not come into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing. Should DEF contact your eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If DEF is swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING:Refill DEF in a well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the DEF tank or bottle containing DEF, ammonia
vapors may escape. The vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the
eyes, throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.

If the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps are working properly, the
following procedure allows you to move the gearshift lever from position
P:
1. Apply the parking brake, and
turn the engine off.
2. Remove the lower finish panel
below the steering column.
3. Turn the key to the on position,
but do not start the engine.
4. Pull back on the solenoid, and
at the same time, shift the
transmission into positionN.
5. Start your vehicle.
See an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this procedure is used.
Six–speed TorqShift® Transmission
WARNING:Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in position P. Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the tow/haul feature when driving in icy
or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause
the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the
possible loss of vehicle control.

Note:Read and understand the following steps and perform them
whenever you prepare to drive the vehicle.
Note:The parking brake does not disengage unless sufficient system air
pressure is available.
If your vehicle is equipped with a dash-mounted push button (Allison
3000 Series) or steering column-mounted (Allison 2200 and 2500) gear
selector:
1. Press and hold the service brake pedal while the engine is running.
2. Select the appropriate drive gear.
3. Push and hold the yellow, dash-mounted parking brake knob until the
parking brake light turns off, then release.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission:
1. Press and hold the service brake pedal while the engine is running.
2. Press and hold the clutch pedal.
3. Select the appropriate drive gear.
4. Push and hold the yellow, dash-mounted parking brake knob until the
parking brake light turns off, then release.
Parking Brake Light Illumination Due to Low Air Pressure
If the air pressure becomes too low at any time during vehicle operation,
the parking brake may apply and the parking brake light turns on.
If the parking brake applies due to low air pressure, immediate service is
required to the parking brake system.
Parking Brake Warning System
If the parking brake light blinks and a tone sounds when pulling the
yellow control knob out, this indicates the parking brake is not
functioning properly. Seek service for the parking brake immediately.
With the ignition key not in the run position:
•A tone sounds if the parking brake remains released (or in an
unknown state). The tone stops in approximately eight minutes or
until the parking brake is applied. Seek service for the parking brake
immediately.
Diesel engines:Parking brake light operation (the light only works
when the ignition key is in the run position):
•On:Parking brake applied.
•Off:Parking brake released and no faults or malfunctions.
•Blink and tone:Parking brake released (or in an unknown state)
and faults or malfunctions exist.

If you install an electrical back up alarm, connect it to the backup lamp
circuit.
Parking
WARNING:When parking your vehicle, do not leave the
transmission in gear; if the key is in the on position and the
vehicle rolls, the engine could start. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in an unattended vehicle moving, possibly causing personal
injury or property damage.
Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the
wheels and turn the front wheels to one side so that if your vehicle rolls,
the front tires act against the curb to stop your vehicle. The front wheels
are more effective at stopping a rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.
Cold Weather
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause
a build-up of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing
them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage.
Note:We recommend against using winter fronts, or other air-restrictive
devices mounted in front of the radiator on vehicles with
chassis-mounted charge air coolers, unless extremely cold weather
conditions exist. Airflow restriction can cause high exhaust temperatures,
power loss, excessive fan usage and a reduction in fuel economy. If you
must use a winter front, the device should have a permanent opening of
at least 120 square inches (774 square centimeters) directly in line with
the fan hub.
For best engine operation in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower:
•Make sure the batteries are the correct type and are fully charged.
Check other electrical components to make sure they are in optimum
condition.
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant to protect the engine against
damage from freezing.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a water-fuel separator, drain it daily.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in the fuel system.
•Use the proper engine oil and maintain it at its proper level.

UPFITTER CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
The upfitter option package
provides four switches, mounted in
the center of the instrument panel.
These switches are always on
whether the engine is running or
not. Make sure you put the switches
in the off position to avoid draining
the battery when not using your
vehicle. Let the engine remain running to maintain battery charge when
using the upfitter switches for extended duration or higher current
draws. (This is even more important for vehicles with a diesel engine
since the glow plugs are also draining battery power when the ignition
key is in the on position.)
Each switch provides 10 amps of electrical battery power for a variety of
personal or commercial uses.
There is also a relay box located on the passenger side end of the
instrument panel. See your authorized dealer for service.
Switch access location is in a connector located in the engine
compartment. You can find more detailed information at
https://www.fleet.ford.com/truck/bbas/.
