Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently
than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this
guide.
A special procedure for turning off the diesel engine is in
the
Driving
chapter. It is important to read and understand this
material in order to maintain the best service life for your
engine.
This guide will acquaint you with the Power Stroke diesel engine. It
provides recommendations on engine care and operating procedures. For
complete vehicle information, also refer to the
Owner’s Guide
included
with the vehicle. It also describes equipment and gives specifications for
equipment that was in effect when this guide was approved for printing,
and should be considered a permanent part of the vehicle.
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to the
What is not covered
section in
The new vehicle limited warranty for your vehicle
chapter of your vehicle’s
Warranty Guide
for more information.
Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower
and torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing
powertrain components commonly referred to as “performance
chips” have been used. This information cannot be erased and
will stay in the system’s memory even if the modification is
removed. The Information can be retrieved by Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities when
servicing your vehicle. This information may be used to determine
if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.
