Roadside Emergencies JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE (E-SERIES ONLY) The following procedure is for E-Series vehicles only. F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with the 6.4L diesel engine can be jump started using the same procedure as a gasoline engine; refer to your Owner's Guide for the jump starting procedure. WARNING: The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or vehicle damage. WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if contacted. Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic transmissions do not have push-start capability; damage to the automatic transmission may result. Preparing your vehicle When the batteries are disconnected or new batteries are installed, the transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation. 1. Use only a 12-volt supply to start your vehicle. 2. Do not disconnect the batteries of the disabled vehicle as this could damage the vehicle's electrical system. 3. Park the booster vehicle close to the passenger side of the disabled vehicle making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles. Note: This vehicle has two frame-mounted batteries located on the passenger side frame rail, behind the front passenger door. A battery positive (+) jumper stud is located on the frame rail behind the rear most battery box. 23 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
