When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR02200( EF )06/92]
Use 1 (Low) to drive up steep grades and to
provide maximum engine braking on hilly roads.
Upshifts from 1 (Low) can be made by manually
shifting to 2 (Second) or D (Drive). Selection of 1
(Low) gear provides only First gear operation at
start-up. When driving, manually shifting to 1
(Low) will result in downshifts to Second gear
or First gear depending on vehicle speed.
*
[DR02250( EF )12/91]
NOTE: Do not drive faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) in this gear.
*
[DR02300( EF )01/95]
P (Park)
*
[DR02400( EF )03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). This position locks the
transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning. To securely latch the gearshift in the P
(Park) position, pull it toward you, push it
completely counterclockwise against the stop,
and then push it toward the instrument panel.
*
[DR02450( EF )03/94]
The gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) if
you cannot rotate it in a clockwise direction
without lifting it toward you.
*
[DR02500( EF )05/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure that the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park).
*
[DR02600( EF )05/95]
RWARNING
Never leave your vehicle unattended
while it is running.
[DR02625( F )05/95]
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in gear.

Steering Your Vehicle
%*
[DR15945( ALL)01/95]
Your vehicle comes with power steering. Power
steering uses energy from the engine to help
steer your vehicle.
%*
[DR15950( ALL)04/95]
If the amount of effort needed to steer your
vehicle changes at a constant vehicle speed, have
the power steering system checked. If the power
steering system breaks down (or if the engine is
turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually
but it takes more effort.
*
[DR15960( ALL)01/95]
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or left for more than five seconds if the
engine is running. This can damage the power
steering pump.
*
[DR15985( ALL)05/90]
NOTE: After any severe impact such as
striking large potholes, sliding into
curbs on icy roads, or a collision
involving the front end, observe the
steering wheel alignment. If the spokes
of the steering wheel seem to be in a
different position while going straight
down the road, have the front
suspension and steering checked for
possible damage.

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
System (If equipped)
*
[DR16130(B F )08/94]
When you select the 4WD mode, your light
truck uses all four wheels to power itself. This
increases traction, enabling you to drive your
4x4 over terrain and road conditions two-wheel
drive vehicles cannot.
*
[DR16160(B F )10/94]
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a
transfer case that allows you to select four-wheel
drive when necessary. Methods for engaging and
disengaging 4WD and low range will depend on
which system your vehicle has.
*
[DR16190(B F )01/95]
4x4 Systems Ð Lever Operated
*
[DR16220(B F )06/94]
The lever operated transfer case can be placed
into four positions. The 2H position is the
two-wheel drive position in which power is
delivered only to the rear axle. The 4H position
provides four-wheel drive with power delivered
to the front and rear axles for increased traction.
The 4L position provides four-wheel drive with
power delivered to the front and rear axles
when the above average power is required at
reduced speeds. In the N (neutral) position, there
is no power delivered to either axle.
[DR16225(B F )05/95]
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in gear.

[DR16310(B F )01/95]
Four-wheel drive operation (4H or 4L) on dry
pavement is not recommended. Operating the
vehicle in four-wheel drive on dry pavement
will increase tire wear, decrease fuel economy,
and make four-wheel drive disengagement
difficult for the transfer case.
*
[DR16340( F )06/93]
NOTE: All transfer cases on F-350 4x4 trucks
are equipped with an opening for a
power take-off (PTO). If this opening
is used for a transfer case mounted
PTO, additional transfer case lubricant
is required. Refer to the Refill
Capacities section for lubricant fill
requirements. Vehicles equipped with
an E4OD automatic transmission and a
7.3L diesel engine will require exhaust
modification for PTO clearance. For
vehicles equipped with an E4OD
automatic transmission: If a transfer
case mounted PTO is operated with the
transfer case shift lever in neutral, a
Vehicle Speed Sensor Self-test error
may be set in the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) causing the
transmission to function abnormally,
and the Transmission Control Indicator
Light (TCIL) may flash on and off
repeatedly. Normal transmission
function should return when the
transfer case has been engaged and the
vehicle is driven. If the TCIL continues
to flash or the transmission continues
to operate abnormally contact your
Ford dealer as soon as possible.

192one continuous motion without pausing in the N
(neutral) position. Pausing in the neutral position
can result in gear clash and difficult shifting. If,
while shifting between 4H and 4L, the transfer
case gets stuck in the N (neutral) position or is
difficult to shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be
necessary to let the vehicle roll slightly and/or
turn off the engine (particularly on vehicles
equipped with automatic transmissions).
*
[DR16880(B F )03/91]
To shift into and out of N (neutral)
*
[DR16910( F )05/91]
To shift into N (neutral), stop the vehicle and
engage the parking brake. Place the automatic
transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the
clutch on manual transmission vehicles. From
either the 4H or 4L position, push the transfer
case shift knob down (toward the ground) and
at the same time move the transfer case shift
lever to the N (neutral) position. The N (neutral)
position should only be used for vehicle towing
or transfer case mounted PTO use (transfer case
PTO opening available on F-350 only).
*
[DR16955(B F )12/91]
NOTE: Dash mounted four wheel drive
indicator lights are off when your
vehicle is in neutral.
*
[DR17001(B F )05/91]
To shift from N (Neutral) to either 4H or 4L,
stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake.
Place the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL
or depress the clutch on manual transmission
vehicles. Push the transfer case knob down
(toward the ground) and at the same time move
the transfer case shift lever to the desired
position. If it is difficult to shift into either 4H or
4L, it may be necessary to let the vehicle roll
slightly and/or turn off the engine (particularly
on vehicles equipped with automatic
transmissions).
