Instrument Cluster ENG HRS Registers the accumulated time the engine has been running. MILES (km) TO E This displays an estimate of approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition off when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel. This function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km), to empty. Press RESET to clear this warning message. It will return at approximately 25 miles (40 km), 10 miles (16 km) and 0 miles (0 km) to empty. The distance to empty is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is re-initialized to a factory default value if the battery is disconnected. XX.X MPG (L/100km) Average fuel economy displays your average fuel economy in miles/gallon or liters/100 km. If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled by gallons of fuel used (liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled), your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons: • Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up • Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at service stations • Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another • Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter) 1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control system engaged to display a stabilized average. 2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference. It is important to press the SELECT/RESET button (press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for two seconds in order to reset the function) after setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings. TBC GAIN (if equipped) Displays the level of trailer brake gain or if the trailer is not connected. 25 2010 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)

ENG HRS

Registers the accumulated time the engine has been running.

MILES (km) TO E

This displays an estimate of approximately how far you can drive with

the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving conditions.

Remember to turn the ignition off when refueling to allow this feature to

correctly detect the added fuel.

This function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL when you have

approximately 50 miles (80 km), to empty. Press RESET to clear this

warning message. It will return at approximately 25 miles (40 km),

10 miles (16 km) and 0 miles (0 km) to empty.

The distance to empty is calculated using a running average fuel

economy, which is based on your recent driving history of 500 miles

(800 km). This value is not the same as the average fuel economy

display. The running average fuel economy is re-initialized to a factory

default value if the battery is disconnected.

XX.X MPG (L/100km)

Average fuel economy displays your average fuel economy in miles/gallon

or liters/100 km.

If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled

by gallons of fuel used (liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled),

your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:

•

Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up

•

Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

•

Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another

•

Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control

system engaged to display a stabilized average.

2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the SELECT/RESET button (press and hold the

SELECT/RESET button for two seconds in order to reset the function)

after setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy

readings.

TBC GAIN (if equipped)

Displays the level of trailer brake gain or if the trailer is not connected.
