DIESEL INFORMATIONFUNCTION
DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS*
Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either
the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
speci cations. Outside of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or
an equivalent local market standard.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results
at temperatures below 19°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel
fuel that has been seasonally adjusted for the weather. See the Fuel and
Refueling chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM*
The diesel particulate lter on your vehicle requires periodic regeneration
to maintain its correct function. Your vehicle will carry out this process
automatically. If you drive only short distances, frequently switch the
ignition on and off, or rapidly accelerate and decelerate often, then a
drive that meets speci c conditions is required to aid in the regeneration
process. Please see the Engine Emissions Control chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL*
To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your
vehicle has a selective catalytic reduction system that relies upon diesel
exhaust uid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system
automatically injects diesel exhaust uid into the exhaust system to enable
proper selective catalytic reduction system function. A warning message
appears in the information display when the diesel exhaust uid level is
low. If a warning message appears, re ll the diesel exhaust uid tank as
soon as possible. See the Scheduled Maintenance chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
It is recommended that the engine block heater* be used for starting when
the temperature is -9°F (-23°C) or colder. When operating in cold weather,
Motorcraft® cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from
a reputable manufacturer may be used as needed.
Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds as starter damage
may occur. If the engine fails to start, switch the ignition off and wait 30
seconds before trying again.
Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine until the glow plug indicator
turns off.
When the glow plug pre-heat indicator turns off, turn the key to start
and release the key as soon as the engine starts. After starting the
engine, the glow plugs may remain on for a period of time. If you do
not start the engine before the glow plug activation time ends, you
will need to reset the glow plugs by switching the ignition off. After the
engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is to protect
the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
SELECTSHIFT™ AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
With SelectShift automatic transmission, you can change gears without a
clutch. You can use Progressive Range Selection (PRS) or Manual (M) mode.
Progressive Range Selection gives you the ability to lockout gears from the
automatic shifting range. With the transmission selector in drive (D), push
the (–) button to activate PRS. The available and selected gears display
on the instrument cluster. Push the (–) button again to lock out gears
beginning with the highest gear. Push the (+) button to unlock gears and
allow the transmission to shift to higher gears.
Manual mode gives you the ability to manually select the gear you desire.
Press the (+) button to upshift and the (–) button to downshift. Once in
Manual mode, press (M) again to deactivate manual control. For more
information and system operation, please see the Transmission chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.

on and off.
