MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Engine

You may find more information on the maintenances and contact information for the Ford Trucks authorized dealerships in the Warranty Manual. Distance and engine operating hours to the maintenance are displayed on the displays of your vehicle. We advise you to have the periodical maintenance and repair operations on your vehicle performed in Ford Trucks authorized dealerships. CAUTION Risk of Serious Injury Coolant is pressurized and VERY HOT. Do not open the cover immediately. Wait at least half an hour and open the cover with a thick cloth or protective gloves, if available. Open the cover slowly first to discharge the pressure in the reservoir; then open the cover completely. • Check under the vehicle for any coolant leaks. • Tilt the cab, check the belts for any broken or excessively loosened belt. If the fan cable breaks, fan rotates in maximum rpm; since this will worsen the fuel economy, it is advised you to go to service after the warning light goes on.

CAUTION Do not refill with water when the cooling system of a hot engine is empty or its coolant is missing. Add hot water if available, or wait until the engine is cooled. Replacement interval of the air filters depend on the operating conditions of the vehicle. Air filter shall be replaced in an authorized dealership when x light is illuminated. The air filter clogged warning will be illuminated on the digital display when the air filter element is clogged. Contact a Ford Otosan Authorized Dealership for the replacement of the air filter elements after this warning is illuminated.

WARNING Always tilt the cab completely to replace air filters. Tilting the cab halfway may cause personal injuries. Ensure that the air filter cover is installed so that the dust draining hole faces downward. WARNING Do not operate the vehicle with air filters removed. As the air drawn to the turbocharger and thus the engine shall not be filtrated, this may cause serious and expensive malfunctions on components such as turbocharger and engine.
