Diesel Messages Action / Description
LOW FUEL
PRESSUREIf this message appears during a cold start or
during cold operation 32°F (0°C) up to
10 minutes after the initial cold start; monitor
the message center and if it disappears and
does not re-appear after the engine has fully
warmed up, the low fuel pressure message is
most likely caused by waxed or gelled fuel. To
prevent this, use an anti-gel additive. Refer to
your diesel supplement for more information.
The customer warranty may be void from
using additives that do not meet or exceed
Ford specifications. If the low fuel pressure
message persistently appears after re-fueling
during the cold start and cold operation
conditions defined previously and then
disappear when the engine has fully warmed
up, consider different fuel sources.
Low Fuel Operation: If the message appears
when the vehicle is warm and during low fuel
tank level operation, i.e. the tank level is at or
very near empty, refuel the vehicle and
operate the vehicle. If the message reappears
after fueling, see below. If the message does
not come back, the low fuel pressure condition
was due to low fuel levels in the fuel tank.
Normal Operation: If the message appears
during normal operation when the vehicle /
engine is fully warm, and fuel level is not low,
the fuel filters must be changed regardless of
the maintenance schedule interval. If
replacement of the fuel filter does not remedy
the low fuel pressure message during normal
operation as defined above, please take the
vehicle to your authorized dealer.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and playing MP3 individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note:The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand
how the system reads the structures you create. While various files may
be present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the
.mp3 extension are played; other files are ignored by the system. This
enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files in the
current folder.
