Rotate the knob and shift from 2WD to 4x4 High or Low:
2H (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only.
t his is appropriate for normal, on-road driving on dry
pavement, providing optimal smoothness and fuel
economy at high speeds.
4H (4WD HiGH) delivers extra gearing for maximum
power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. t his is
intended for use in situations such as deep sand, steep
grades or pulling heavy objects.
4L (4WD LOW) mechanically locks into four-wheel
drive when extra power at reduced speeds is required.
use this setting for off-road, low-speed operation such
as climbing steep grades, going through deep sand or
pulling a boat out of the water.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced roads.
Doing so can produce extra noise and increase tire wear.

to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the
brakes as needed to maintain descent speed.

DieSeL FueL ReCOMMenDA tiOnS
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either the
ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.
Outside of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local
market standard.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel that has
been seasonally adjusted for the weather.

DieSeL eXHAuSt FL uiD (DeF) LeVeL
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle is
equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system that relies upon diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) to operate properly. The SCR automatically injects DEF into
the exhaust system to enable proper SCR function. Make sure that you check your
vehicle’s DEF level during the oil change service interval, but certain conditions or
driving styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, will require the
refilling of the DEF tank more often. See the scheduled maintenance information in
your Diesel Supplement for more information.

FueL t yPe/ tAnk C APACity/FLeX FueL *
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on body style and/or
engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications section in
your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube)
and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel.
It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch fuels,
it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible—at least half a tank. Do
not add less than five gallons (18.9 liters) when refueling. You should drive the vehicle
immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to
the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use E85 fuel, it is recommended
to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
If you do not have a flex fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
FueL-eFFiCient tRAnSMiSSiOn*
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium braking
sensation when removing your foot from the accelerator pedal.
SOS POSt-CRASH ALeR t SySteM™
The SOS Post-Crash Alert System™ provides audible and visual alarms in the event
of a crash which causes the deployment of airbags or the activation of the safety belt
pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn will sound. To deactivate the
system, press the hazard flasher control, or you can press on your remote transmitter.
BRAke OVeR ACCeLeRAtOR (BOA) FeA tuRe
In the event that the accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, BOA will
reduce engine power when the brake pedal is applied. Drivers who rest a foot on
the brake pedal while pressing the accelerator pedal may activate BOA. See your
Owner’s Manual for complete details.
tiRe PReSSuRe MOnitORinG SySteM*
Your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (tPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter
in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
