REPLACEMENT PARTS RECOMMENDATION

Your vehicle has been built to the highest standards using quality parts.

We recommend that you demand the use of genuine Ford and Motorcraft

parts whenever your vehicle requires scheduled maintenance or repair.

You can clearly identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts by looking for

the Ford, FoMoCo or Motorcraft branding on the parts or their

packaging.

Scheduled Maintenance and Mechanical Repairs

One of the best ways for you to make sure that your vehicle provides

years of service is to have it maintained in line with our

recommendations using parts that conform to the specifications detailed

in this owner’s manual. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts meet or

exceed these specifications.

Collision Repairs

We hope that you never experience a collision, but accidents do happen.

Genuine Ford replacement collision parts meet our stringent

requirements for fit, finish, structural integrity, corrosion protection and

dent resistance. During vehicle development, we validate that these parts

deliver the intended level of protection as a whole system. A great way

to know for sure you are getting this level of protection is to use genuine

Ford replacement collision parts.

Warranty on Replacement Parts

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft replacement parts are the only

replacement parts that benefit from a Ford Warranty. Damage caused to

your vehicle as a result of the failure of non-Ford parts may not be

covered by the Ford Warranty. For additional information, see the terms

and conditions of the Ford Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTICES

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered by

your vehicle’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, see the warranty

information that is provided to you along with your owner’s manual.

Special Instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic

controls.

MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Using mobile communications equipment is becoming increasingly

important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However, you

must not compromise your own or others’ safety when using such

equipment. Mobile communications can enhance personal safety and

security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency situations.

Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications

equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile communication equipment includes, but is not limited to, cellular

phones, pagers, portable email devices, text messaging devices and

portable two-way radios.

WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle

control, crash and injury. We strongly recommend that you use

extreme caution when using any device that may take your focus off

the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your

vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device while

driving and encourage the use of voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the

use of electronic devices while driving.

VEHICLE INSPECTION INFORMATION

To be sure your vehicle is ready to operate, conduct a pre-trip inspection

at the beginning of each work period. Follow the steps listed in this

section to ensure a proper vehicle inspection procedure. The pages in

this section may be produced locally and used on a regular basis.

WARNING: Exercise great caution when working on a vehicle

equipped with an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts in motion

only after the engine coolant reaches a predetermined temperature or

the refrigerant pressure (if equipped with air conditioning) reaches a

predetermined setting. The fan starts at this point with no advance

warning. Never reach near, or permit objects to protrude into, the fan

blade radius while the engine is running as this could result in vehicle

damage, personal injury or death.

WARNING: Do not operate the vehicle if any suspension

conditions listed in the following charts are evident. Loss of

steering or suspension could result in property damage, personal injury

or death.

WARNING: If a wheel must be changed, obtain expert tire

service help. Mounting and un-mounting of tires should only be

performed by a qualified technician using necessary safety procedures

and equipment, otherwise the result could be property damage,

personal injury or death.

Note: Always make sure the parking brake is applied before starting the

engine.

Engine Starting (Parking Brake Applied)

Safety and

Emergency

Equipment

• Before entering the cab, verify that the vehicle

is equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),

three red reflective triangles, a properly charged

and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.

• Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps

and grab handles, inside and out (as well as

behind), are tight and clean. Use extreme caution

and a three-point stance at all times.

• Inspect door latches for proper closing,

latching and locking.

Starting the

Engine

Set the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a

manual transmission, press the clutch and verify

the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle

with an automatic transmission, make sure the

gearshift lever is in position N or P (if equipped

with a park position).

release it as soon as the engine starts.

Engine Oil

Pressure

Verify pressure builds to normal operating range.

Air Chime (If

Equipped with an

Air Compressor)

The low air pressure warning chime should sound

immediately after the engine starts but before the

compressor has built-up pressure. The chime

should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi

(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build

to governed cut-out pressure, which should occur

between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).

Accelerator Press the accelerator and verify that it operates

smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.

Release the pedal and verify the engine returns

to idle speed immediately.
