1. Service Engine Soon Light YOUR 2010 FORD Draining the Water Separator Water will gather in the frame-mounted water separator, called the horizontal fuel conditioning module (HFCM). The water separator should be drained monthly, or sooner if the "WATER IN FUEL" lamp illuminates. Exhaust System To control exhaust emissions, your diesel Super Duty is equipped with an exhaust system with clean diesel after-treatment technology which includes a diesel oxidation catalytic converter and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Do not modify the exhaust after-treatment. See your Owner's Guide and Diesel Supplement for more information. Checking the Air Filter Your vehicle has an air filtration system with a restriction indicator gauge that will alert you when you need to change your filter. The gauge has a viewable indicator located underhood on the air filter assembly which should be inspected every oil change. Engine Oil Specifications for Diesel Engines not illuminate at this time, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. If the light continues to illuminate after the parking brake is released, your brake fluid is low and should be inspected immediately by your authorized dealer. 7. Message Center The message center displays information on your vehicle's operating functions, as well as warning messages. Pressing the INFO button lets you scroll through general vehicle information such as odometer, trip odometer, compass, average fuel economy, distance to empty (fuel) and engine hours. Engine hours register how many hours the engine has been running. This is especially important if your vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine as important maintenance items (engine oil changes and fuel filter changes) may be based on engine hours. Please refer to the scheduled maintenance information in your Diesel Supplement for more information. braking will slow the vehicle and assist the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending a grade. 12.

Electronic shift on the fly 4x4 system (if equipped) The electronic shift on the fly 4x4 system allows you to choose between 2WD, 4x4 HIGH or 4x4 LOW driving modes. Choose 2WD to provide power to the rear wheels only - used mainly for street and highway driving. This mode provides optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds. Choose 4x4 HIGH to send power to the rear and front wheels for extra traction during winter and off-road conditions. (Not intended for use on dry pavement.) Choose 4x4 LOW when you need extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. This is intended for use in situations such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling a boat out of the water. This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement. Please refer to the Driving chapter in your Owner's Guide for more information. 15. UPFITTER (if equipped) If your vehicle is equipped with the Upfitter package, these auxiliary switches can be customized to perform additional functions. The switches deliver 10A, 15A or 30A of battery power to whatever accessory is chosen. Refer to the Body Builder's Layout Book or visit www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/ non-html/Q117R1.pdf for more detailed information. Service intervals It is important to maintain your vehicle to keep it running in peak condition. Engine oil and filter changes along with fuel filter (two fuel filters on diesel vehicles) and engine coolant inspection/replacement are common maintenance items that can be done to prolong the life of your engine. If you drive your vehicle in severe situations, more frequent service will be required on some items. Please refer to the scheduled maintenance information chapter of your diesel Supplement if your vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine or the separate Scheduled Maintenance Guide if your vehicle is equipped with a gasoline engine. Cold weather starting To ensure optimum cold weather starting performance, and improve cabin heating, the 120 volt engine block heater should be used during any cold weather operation. The engine block heater is required when the vehicle is to be started at temperatures below -10°F (-23°C) or colder for diesel engines and below 0°F (-17°C) for gas engines. Please refer to Engine Block Heater in the Driving chapter of your Owner's Guide. Diesel engine operation (if equipped) Diesel engines have different starting and operating procedures than gasoline engines. Please refer to your diesel Supplement for detailed information on starting and operating your diesel engine. Key items to remember are: Starting the Engine light will With the key in the on position, the illuminate if glow plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait for the light to extinguish before starting the engine. Turning Off the Engine It is important to remember that if you have been operating your vehicle at a high speed or maximum gross vehicle weight, it is recommended to let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes so the turbocharged engine can properly cool down. Engine Cooling System The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. The level of coolant should be maintained at the "COLD FILL" range in the coolant reservoir. Engine coolant system anti-freeze and anti-corrosive strength should be checked and serviced at the mileage or equivalent hour intervals specified by the maintenance schedule. Refer to your Owner Guide for additional information. Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel The diesel engine requires ultra low sulfur diesel fuel to control exhaust emissions, especially when combined with new exhaust treatment devices such as a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It is always important to make sure the proper fuel is used because use of improper fuel (e.g., high level of biodiesel fuel or a high sulfur diesel fuel) may cause serious engine damage. Use of biodiesel is acceptable as long as the content is no higher than 5% (B5). If the biodiesel is rated higher than B5 (such as B10 or B20), it may damage fuel system components. Diesel fuel quality is critical for reliable engine operation. Motorcraft® Cetane Booster & Performance Improver can be added to improve fuel economy, starting ability, and reduce engine wear. To avoid cold weather fuel gelling, add Motorcraft® Anti-Gel & Performance Improver to every new tank of fuel. 1 2 3 4 which could damage your catalytic converter.

Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Guide for safety information, more detail and limitations. Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt. After an accident, if the engine cranks but doesn't start, the switch may have been activated. The fuel pump shut-off switch is located on the passenger side of the instrument panel. You have to open the passenger side door and remove the access panel to reset the switch. For switch reset instructions, please refer to your Owner's Guide. 2.

If this light fails to illuminate, Heavier 15W-40 and 5W-40 engine oils are recommended for temperatures over 50˚F (10˚C) and must be used for heavy duty driving and trailer towing. Use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford specification WSS-M2C171-E or API service categories CJ-4 or CJ-4/SM. It is important to use these oils because they are compatible with the emission control equipment of your vehicle to meet the more stringent emission standards. Under normal conditions, the engine oil and filter need to be changed at 10,000 mi (16,093 km) or 6 month intervals (whichever comes first). Under severe conditions, the intervals are sooner; 5,000 mi (8,046 km) or 3 months (whichever comes first). Refer to the scheduled maintenance information chapter of the Diesel Supplement for specific information on normal and severe conditions. Use the same engine oil and filter change intervals when using synthetic engine oil. remains on or continues to flash after the engine is started, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
