AIRBAG SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) 1. Airbag cover The airbag supplemental restraint system is designed to work in conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries.
Important SRS precautions All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver , should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an airbag (SRS) is provided. Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back seat if your vehicle has a back seat.
Do not put anything on or over the airbag cover (1). Placing objects on or over the airbag cover may cause those objects to be thrown by the airbag into your face and torso or may result in a failure of the airbag to inflate properly , both of which could result in serious injury .
Children and airbags For additional important safety information, read all information on safety restraints in this guide. Children must always be properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work? The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains sufficient longitudinal deceleration. The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system.
If the airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again and must be replaced immediately . If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses readiness lights in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system.
The front passenger sensing system will disable (will not inflate) the front passenger’ s frontal airbag if: • the front passenger seat is unoccupied, or has small/medium objects in the front seat.
• When the front passenger sensing system enables the front passenger frontal airbag (may inflate), the indicator will be unlit and stay unlit. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front pass.
The front passenger sensing system may detect small or medium objects placed on the seat cushion. For most objects that are in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag will be disabled. Even though the passenger airbag is disabled, the ⬙ pass airbag off ⬙ lamp may or may not be illuminated according to the table below .
SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety restraints for children. Also see Airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using airbags.
Child booster seats Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh 40 lb. (18 kg) and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , which could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash.
T ypes of booster seats There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats: • Those that are backless. If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield and use the lap/shoulder belt.
Children and booster seats vary widely in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder .
SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN Child and infant or child safety seats Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’ s instructions with the safety seat you put in your vehicle.
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with LA TCH and tether anchors. For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter .
2. Pull down on the shoulder belt and then grasp the shoulder belt and lap belt together . 3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
5. T o put the retractor in the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull downward until all of the belt is pulled out and a click is heard. 6. Allow the belt to retract. The belt will click as it retracts to indicate it is in the automatic locking mode.
Installing child safety seats in cinch tongue combination lap and shoulder belt seating position (Regular Cab Center seating position Only) If you are using a regular cab center seat, see Center front safety belt (Regular Cab center seating position only) earlier in this chapter for instructions on attaching the mini-buckle.
Rear facing child seats should NEVER be placed in front of an active airbag. 3. Slide the tongue up the webbing. 4. While holding both shoulder and lap portions next to the tongue, route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
6. While pushing down with your knee on the child seat pull up on the shoulder belt portion to tighten the lap belt portion of the combination lap and shoulder belt. 7. Allow the safety belt to retract and remove any slack in the belt to securely tighten the child safety seat in the vehicle.
2. Place the child safety seat in the center seating position. 3. Route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions. 4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for the center seating position until you hear a snap and feel it latch.
• F150 Regular Cab • F150 SuperCrew and SuperCab Front seat tether strap attachment 1. Position the child safety seat on the seat cushion. 2. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat and under the head restraint. 3. Locate the correct anchor for the selected seating position.
• Front seat Regular Cab center (located on back panel) If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 5. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LA TCH anchors or safety belts.
Rear seat tether strap attachment There are three loops of webbing just above the back of the rear seat (along the bottom edge of the rear window) in the SuperCab and SuperCrew . These loops are to be used as both routing loops and anchor loops for up to three child safety seat tether straps.
3. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LA TCH anchors or safety belts. Follow the instructions in this chapter . 4. T ighten the tether strap according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions.
The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the seat between the cushion and seat back. The LA TCH anchors are below the locator buttons on the seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions to properly install a child seat with LA TCH attachments.
NOTICE TO UTILITY VEHICLE AND TRUCK OWNERS Utility vehicles and trucks handle differently than passenger cars in the various driving conditions that are encountered on streets, highways and off-road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow you to select different drive modes as necessary . Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in the Driving chapter .
• Narrower — to provide greater maneuverability in tight spaces, particularly in off-road use. As a result of the above dimensional differences, SUV’ s and trucks often will have a higher center of gravity and a greater difference in center of gravity between the loaded and unloaded condition.
T readwear The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
TIRES T ires are designed to give many thousands of miles of service, but they must be maintained in order to get the maximum benefit from them. Glossary of tire terminology • T ire label: A label showing the OE (Original Equipment) tire sizes, recommended inflation pressure and the maximum weight the vehicle can carry .
INFLATING Y OUR TIRES Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly inflated. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires and adjust if required.
Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure is the tire manufacturer’ s maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
6. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air leak. 7. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.
Age T ires degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced after 6 years of normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.
Important: Remember to replace the wheel valve stems when the road tires are replaced on your vehicle. It is recommended that the two front tires or two rear tires generally be replaced as a pair . Safety practices Driving habits have a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safety .
Tire and wheel alignment A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your vehicle seems to pull to one side when you’re driving, the wheels may be out of alignment.
Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical problem involved before tire rotation.
4. R: Indicates a “radial” type tire. 5. 15: Indicates the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter . 6. 95: Indicates the tire’ s load index. It is an index that relates to how much weight a tire can carry .
8. U.S. DOT T ire Identification Number (TIN): This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built.
13. Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: Indicates the tire manufacturers’ maximum permissible pressure and/or the pressure at which the maximum load can be carried by the tire.
Information on “T” type tires “T” type tires have some additional information beyond those of “P” type tires; these differences are described below: T145/80D16 is an example of a tire size. Note: The temporary tire size for your vehicle may be different from this example.
SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you currently have on your vehicle. The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to provide traction in rain and snow . However , in some climates, you may need to use snow tires and chains.
V ehicle Curb W eight – is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your authorized dealer plus any aftermarket equipment. Payload – is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is carrying.
Example only: Cargo W eight – includes all weight added to the Base Curb W eight, including cargo and optional equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load or king pin weight is also part of cargo weight. GA W (Gross Axle W eight) – is the total weight placed on each axle (front and rear) – including vehicle curb weight and all payload.
GA WR (Gross Axle W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight that can be carried by a single axle (front or rear). These numbers are shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’ s door .
GCW (Gross Combined W eight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer . GCWR (Gross Combined W eight Rating) – is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.
Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury . Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.
transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 – (2 x 220) – (12 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 1200 = – 240 lb. No, you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight.
T owing a trailer places an additional load on your vehicle’ s engine, transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. Inspect these components carefully periodically during, and after any towing operation. Exceeding the maximum GCWR could result in extensive damage to your vehicle and personal injury .

T railer frontal area considerations: • Not to exceed towing vehicle frontal area without Class IV trailer towing package • Not to exceed 60 square feet (5.52 square meters) with Class IV trailer towing package Preparing to tow Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is properly attached to your vehicle.
T railer brakes Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’ s specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal regulations. Do not connect a trailer’ s hydraulic brake system directly to your vehicle’ s brake system.
Servicing after towing If you tow a trailer for long distances, your vehicle will require more frequent service intervals. Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Information for more information. T railer towing tips • Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to get the feel of the vehicle trailer combination.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components: • causing internal damage to the components. • affecting driveability , emissions and reliability . Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in water .
V ehicles equipped with automatic transmission and 4x4 vehicles equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case: • Release the parking brake. • T urn the key in the ignition to the OFF position. • Place the transmission in N (Neutral). • Do not exceed a distance of 50 miles (80 km).
STARTING Positions of the ignition 1. OFF/LOCK, locks the steering wheel, automatic transmission gearshift lever and allows key removal. Note: The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition unless the gearshift lever is securely latched in P (Park).
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine. See Guarding against exhaust fumes in this chapter for more instructions. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately .

STEERING T o help prevent damage to the power steering system: • Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running. • Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump reservoir fluid level (below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
PREPARING TO DRIVE Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Y our vehicle has larger tires and increased ground clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car .
2. Locate the round access plug on the underside of the steering column cover . 3. Remove the access plug using a flat head screwdriver , then push the override button using a flat head screwdriver , apply the brake pedal and shift the transmission into N (Neutral).
If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure: 1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to LOCK, then remove the key . 2. Open the center console bin. Using a screwdriver , carefully pry off the console finish panel surrounding the shifter mechanism by inserting a screwdriver into the latch slot as shown.
If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly . See your authorized dealer .
T o put your vehicle in P (Park): • Come to a complete stop • Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park) Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). T urn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
• Floor -shift transmission The transmission control indicator (TCIL) will illuminate on the instrument cluster . Drive (not shown) Drive is activated when the transmission control switch is pressed. • This position allows for all forward gears except overdrive.
• Allows upshifts by moving gearshift lever . • W ill not downshift into 1 (First) at high speeds; allows for 1 (First) when vehicle reaches slower speeds. Forced downshifts • Allowed in D (Overdrive) or Drive. • Depress the accelerator to the floor .
During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to the floor . Failure to fully depress the clutch pedal to the floor may cause increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components or damage the transmission.
Maximum downshift speeds 1 4 - 3 45 mph (72 km/h) 17 mph (27 km/h) 3 - 2 35 mph (56 km/h) 13 mph (21 km/h) 2 - 1 20 mph (32 km/h) 7 mph (11 km/h) 1 Downshift at lower speeds when driving on slippery surfaces. Reverse 1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into R (Reverse).
T o help avoid personal injury , always use caution when in reverse and when using the RSS. This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging the vehicle.
The RSS automatically turns on when the gearshift lever is placed in R (Reverse) and the ignition is ON. An RSS control allows the driver to turn the RSS on and off. T o turn the RSS off, the ignition must be ON, and the gear selector in R (Reverse). An indicator light on the control will illuminate when the system is turned off.
• 4X4 LOW – Momentarily illuminates when the engine is started. Illuminates when 4L is selected. Using a manual 4WD system (if equipped) 2H (2WD High) – Power to the rear wheels only; used for street and highway driving. Provides optimal smoothness and fuel economy at high speeds.
3. Place the transmission in N (Neutral). 4. Move the transfer case lever through N (Neutral) directly to the desired position. • If the transfer case will not engage into 4L (4WD Low), allow the vehicle to coast at a speed below 3 mph (5 km/h), then repeat Steps 2 through 4.
4L (4WD Low) - Uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. Intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling heavy objects. 4L (4WD Low) will not engage while the vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal and should be no reason for concern.
A WD (Auto) - Power delivered to all four wheels, as required, for increased traction. This is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions, such as dry road surfaces, wet pavement, snow , gravel and shallow sand. 4H (Lock) - The “4X4 HI” light will illuminate in the instrument cluster when this position is selected.
Basic operating principles • Do not use 4WD on dry , hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce excessive noise, increase tire wear and may damage drive components. 4WD modes are only intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces. • Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering characteristics of your vehicle.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may overheat. Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h).
Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). T urn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly .
Mud and water If you must drive through high water , drive slowly . T raction or brake capability may be limited. When driving through water , determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly . If the ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.
Driving on hilly or sloping terrain Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up or straight down. A void driving crosswise or turning on steep slopes or hills .
Driving on snow and ice 4WD vehicles have advantages over 2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any other vehicle. Should you start to slide while driving on snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slide until you regain control.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly especially when the depth is not known. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars) or the bottom of the hubs (for trucks).
• Rear ballast weight behind the rear axle may be required to prevent exceeding the FGA WR, and provide front-to-rear weight balance for proper braking and steering. • Front wheel toe may require re-adjustment to prevent premature uneven tire wear .
Do not attempt to service, repair , or modify the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer . Transmission operation while plowing • Shift transfer case to 4L (4WD Low) when plowing in small areas at speeds below 5 mph (8 km/h).

CHANGING THE TIRES If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily . Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road. The use of tire sealants may damage your tires.
Use of one of the dissimilar spare tires listed above at any one wheel location can lead to impairment of the following: • Handling, stability and braking performance • Comfort and noise • Groun.
Location of the spare tire and tools The spare tire and tools for your vehicle are stowed in the following locations: T ool Location Spare tire Under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper Jack,.
Tire change procedure T o help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
7. Position the jack according to the following guides and turn the jack handle clockwise until the wheel is completely off the ground. When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park).
8. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench. 9. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
3. T urn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle increases significantly and the spare tire carrier ratchets or slips when the tire is raised to the maximum tightness.
JUMP STARTING The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or vehicle damage. Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and clothing, if contacted. Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle.

BATTERY Y our vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. W ash hands after handling. Because your vehicle’ s engine is also electronically controlled by a computer , some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery .
ENGINE COOLANT Checking engine coolant The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the intervals listed in scheduled maintenance information. The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water , which equates to a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).
• Refer to scheduled maintenance information for service interval schedules. • Be sure to read and understand Precautions when servicing your vehicle in this chapter . If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval, the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty .
• A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case of emergency , to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If necessary , add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.
If you drive in extremely hot climates: • It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%. • NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%. • Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may cause engine damage.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However: • The engine power will be limited. • The air conditioning system will be disabled. Continued operation will increase the engine temperature: • The engine will completely shut down. • Steering and braking effort will increase.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.
• A void getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could lead to permanent injury . • Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Flexible fuel components and standard unleaded gasoline fuel components are not interchangeable. If your vehicle is not serviced in accordance with flexible fuel vehicles procedures, damage may occur and your warranty may be invalidated. When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the filler neck.
Fuel Filler Cap Y our fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/4 turn on/off feature. When fueling your vehicle: 1. T urn the engine off. 2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn until it stops. 3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in possible personal injury .
Octane recommendations Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly . However , if it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage.
FFV engine (if equipped) Y our FFV will operate well on ordinary “Regular” unleaded gasoline, but only the highest quality fuel ethanol will provide the same level of protection and performance. T o identify if your vehicle is an FFV , check your VIN or the label on the inside of your fuel filler door .
The advertised capacity is the amount of the indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty . Empty reserve is the small amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty .
Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city or highway). This will provide an accurate estimate of the vehicle’ s fuel economy under current driving conditions. Additionally , keeping records during summer and winter will show how temperature impacts fuel economy .
Conditions • Heavily loading a vehicle or towing a trailer may reduce fuel economy at any speed. • Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy (approximately 1 mpg [0.
• A void running out of fuel. • Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds. • Have the items listed in scheduled maintenance information performed according to the specified schedule.
On board diagnostics (OBD-II) Y our vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’ s emission control system. This system is commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II). This OBD-II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet government emission standards.
POWER STEERING FLUID Check the power steering fluid. Refer to the scheduled maintenance information for the service interval schedules. If adding fluid is necessary , use MERCON 威 AT F .
Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet Ford specifications. Refer to Lubricant specifications in this chapter . Brake fluid is toxic. If brake fluid contacts the eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. T o obtain an accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is at normal operating temperature (approximately 20 miles [30 km]).
The transmission fluid should be in this range if at normal operating temperature (150°F-170°F [66°C-77°C]). The transmission fluid should be in this range if at ambient temperature (50°F-95°F [10°C-35°C]). High fluid level Fluid levels above the safe range may result in transmission failure.
An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage. Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
3. Fluid level should be at bottom of the opening. 4. Add enough fluid through the filler opening so that the fluid level is at the bottom of the opening. 5. Install and tighten the fill plug securely . Use only fluid that meets Ford specifications. Refer to the Lubricant specifications section in this chapter .
3. Add only enough fluid through the filler opening so that the fluid level is at the bottom of the opening. Use only fluid that meets Ford specifications.
