Ford F-650 / 750 (2023 year). Manual in english

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

WARNING:

Do not recline the

seatback as this can cause the occupant
to slide under the safety belt, resulting
in serious injury in the event of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the seatback to reduce the
risk of serious injury in the event of a
crash or during heavy braking.

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:

•

Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING:

Fully adjust the head

restraint before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash. Do
not adjust the head restraint when your
vehicle is moving.

WARNING:

The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied.
Failure to adjust the head restraint
properly could reduce its effectiveness
during certain impacts.

WARNING:

Adjust the head

restraints for all passengers before you
drive your vehicle. This will help minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash. Do not adjust the head restraints
when your vehicle is moving.

Seats

Note:

Adjust the seat backrest to an upright

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.

12 Volt DC Power Point

WARNING:

Do not plug optional

electrical accessories into the cigar
lighter socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.

Note:

When you switch the ignition on, you

can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.

If the power supply does not work after you
switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.

Note:

Do not hang any accessory from the

accessory plug.

Note:

Do not use the power point over the

vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.

Note:

Always keep the power point caps

closed when not in use.

Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the power point and may blow
the fuse.

Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.

To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:

•

Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.

•

Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.

Locations

Power points may be in the following
locations:

•

compartment.

•

Inside the rear under-seat storage
compartment.

110 Volt AC Power Point

(If Equipped)

WARNING:

Do not keep electrical

devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due
to powering multiple devices that can
reach beyond the 150 watt load limit and
could result in fire or serious injury.

Note:

The power point turns off when you

switch the ignition off, or when the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.

You can use the power point for electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is
in the center of the instrument panel.

E193395

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING:

Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING:

Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start
the engine. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
could exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation.

If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snow
storm or blowing snow conditions, the
engine air induction could become partially
clogged with snow and ice. If this occurs,
the engine could experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest
opportunity, clear all the snow and ice
away from the air induction inlet.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.

Note:

The heater is most effective when

outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:

•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.

•

Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
