DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissions
reduction system on your vehicle. It filters
harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the
exhaust gas.
Regeneration WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard. Note:
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note: During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odor and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: Changes in the engine or exhaust
sound may be heard during the regeneration
process.
Note: Under certain conditions, the engine
cooling fan may continue to run for several
minutes after you switch your vehicle off.
This could happen in low ambient
temperatures and independent of the
engine coolant temperature, for example
short journeys or low coolant temperature. The diesel particulate filter on your vehicle
requires periodic regeneration to maintain
its correct function. Your vehicle will carry
out this process automatically.
If your journeys meet one of the following
conditions:
•
You drive only short distances.
• You frequently switch the ignition on
and off.
• Your journeys contain a high level of
acceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips with
the following conditions to assist the
regeneration process:
• Drive your vehicle in more favorable
conditions, which you will find at higher
vehicle speeds in normal driving, on a
main road or freeway for a minimum
of 20 minutes. This drive may include
short stops that will not affect the
regeneration process.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.
• Do not switch the ignition off.
• Select a suitable gear to ideally
maintain engine speed between 1500
and 3000 RPM.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles With a Turbocharger WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running
after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear. 115

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL
Fuel Requirements - Choosing the
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
is Required (United
States/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands and Other Locales)
WARNINGS
Only use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel
(ULSD) containing a maximum of 15
ppm sulfur and up to 20% biodiesel
(B20). These fuels should meet the diesel
specifications defined by American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D975 for
diesel and by ASTM D7467 for B6-B20
blends, or an equivalent local market
specification. Do not mix diesel with oil, kerosene,
paraffin, gasoline or other liquids to
diesel. This can cause damage to the
fuel system. Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats, oils, waste
cooking greases, biodiesel fuels
greater than 20% or any diesel fuel not
intended for highway use. The vehicle warranty will not cover
damage caused by using an improper
type of fuel or fuel additive.
Note:
Do not blend used engine oil with
diesel fuel under any circumstances.
Blending used oil with the fuel will
significantly increase your vehicle ’s exhaust
emissions and reduce engine life due to
increased internal wear. Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
Is Not Required
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel may result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the
after-treatment system, potentially
rendering your vehicle inoperable.
For the engine to operate reliably on low
sulfur or high sulfur diesel fuel, the engine
must be a factory built high sulfur engine
(available as a dealer order option for
select markets) or an ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high sulfur diesel fuel using
Ford Motor Company dealer service parts.
Failure to use retrofit components other
than those available through your
authorized dealer will result in coolant
system damage, engine overheating,
selective catalyst reduction system or
diesel particulate filter damage and
possible base engine damage.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in a ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel market that are subsequently
exported to non ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the
customer
’s expense using Ford authorized
dealer service parts) in order to be reliably
operated on non ultra-low sulfur diesel
fuel.

Biodiesel
You may operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
•
Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
by checking the label on the fuel pump.
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with applicable industry
standards ASTM D975 for diesel and
ASTM D7467 for B6-B20 blends.
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See Normal
Scheduled Maintenance (page 430).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than one month.
• Do not use raw oils, fats or waste
cooking greases.
System Messages Action and Description
Message
Consider changing brands
or reducing biodiesel
content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling
issues or this message
frequently appears.
Fuel Pres-
sure Low
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% may cause damage to your
vehicle, including engine or exhaust
after-treatment hardware (exhaust
catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
Using biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% can also cause fuel filter restrictions that may result in a lack of
power or damage to fuel system
components, including fuel pump and fuel
injector failures. See
Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page
432).
Look for a label on the fuel pump to
confirm the amount of biodiesel contained
in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel blends with
greater than 5% must be labeled.
Biodiesel content is often indicated with
the letter B followed by the percent of
biodiesel in the fuel. For example, B20
indicates a fuel containing 20% biodiesel.
Ask the service station attendant to
confirm the biodiesel content of a diesel
fuel if you do not see a label on the fuel
pump.
Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than
diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and
should not be stored in the fuel tank for
more than one month. If you plan to park
or store your vehicle for more than one
month, then you should empty your vehicle
fuel tank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill
the tank with a pure petroleum-based
diesel fuel and run your vehicle for a
minimum of 30 minutes.
If you intend to store your vehicle for more
than two months, we recommend that you
seek advice from an authorized dealer.
Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
damage fuel system seals and plastics and
corrode steel parts.
Fuel companies adjust diesel fuel
formulations for cold temperatures. Diesel
fuel which has not been correctly
formulated for cold ambient temperatures
may gel and block the fuel filters. An
indication that the fuel filters are blocked
is the engine starts, stalls after a short time
and then does not restart. If you have been
using biodiesel, you may need to use a fuel
with lower biodiesel content or discontinue
using biodiesel.
