Ford F-150 (2024 year). Manual in english

Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer. See

Towing a Trailer

(page 424).

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance.

For additional information, visit

www.toptiergas.com

Note:

Use of any fuel for which the vehicle

was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:
•

Diesel fuel.

•

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

•

Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.

•

Fuels containing methanol.

•

Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.

•

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

•

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl, which is a
manganese-based fuel additive, will impair
engine performance and affect the
emission control system.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

FILLING A PORTABLE FUEL
CONTAINER

WARNING:

Flow of fuel through a

fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.

253

Fuel and Refueling

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
•

Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.

•

Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).

•

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container when filling it.

•

Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.

ADDING FUEL FROM A PORTABLE
FUEL CONTAINER

WARNING:

Do not insert the nozzle

of a fuel container or an aftermarket
funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may
damage the fuel system filler neck or its
seal and cause fuel to run onto the
ground.

WARNING:

Do not pry open the

fuel tank filler valve. This could damage
the fuel system. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in fire, personal
injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not dispose of fuel

in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.

When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, use the fuel filler funnel
included with your vehicle. See

Locating

the Fuel Filler Funnel

(page 253).

Note:

Do not use aftermarket funnels as

they may not work with the capless fuel
system and can damage it.

When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, do the following:

Fully open the fuel filler door.

E157452

2. Fully insert the fuel filler funnel into the

fuel filler inlet.

3. Add fuel to your vehicle from the fuel

container.

4. Remove the fuel filler funnel.

5. Fully close the fuel filler door.

6. Clean the fuel filler funnel and place it

back in your vehicle or correctly dispose
of it.

Note:

If your vehicle runs out of fuel add a

minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel to restart
the engine.

Note:

You may need to switch the ignition

from off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel
from the tank to the engine. When
restarting, cranking time takes a few
seconds longer than normal.

Note:

Extra funnels can be purchased from

an authorized dealer if you choose to
dispose of the funnel.

WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER

The catalytic converter is part of your
vehicle's emissions system and filters
harmful pollutants from the exhaust gas.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS

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:

The normal operating

temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off.

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.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
•

Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.

•

Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.

•

Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See

Jump

Starting the Vehicle

(page 482).

•

Use the correct fuel. See

Fuel and

Refueling

(page 252).

•

Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.

•

Avoid running out of fuel.

•

Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.

Note:

Do not make any unauthorized

changes to your vehicle or engine. By law,
vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, or services a fleet of

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Vehicles with a higher

center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.

WARNING:

Do not become

overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle could be
higher to allow it to travel over rough
terrain without getting stuck or damaging
underbody components. The differences
that make your vehicle so versatile also
make it handle differently than an ordinary
passenger car. Always maintain steering
wheel control, especially in rough terrain.
Since sudden changes in terrain can result
in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure
you grip the steering wheel from the

outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive
cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from
concealed objects such as rocks and
stumps. Drive slower in strong crosswinds
which can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle. Be
extremely careful when driving on
pavement made slippery by loose sand,
water, gravel, snow or ice.

Note:

Do not use four-wheel drive high or

four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS

Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a Spare or Mismatched Tires

(If

Equipped)

On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the four-wheel
drive system. If there is a significant
difference between the size of the spare
tire and the remaining tires, you could have
limited four-wheel drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, we
recommend that you do not:

•

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) with a
four-wheel drive mode turned on.

•

Turn on a four-wheel drive mode
unless the vehicle is stationary.

•

Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.

Driving with the full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can limit
four-wheel drive functionality, especially
when driving in a mechanically locked
four-wheel drive mode. You can experience
the following:

274

Four-Wheel Drive

(If Equipped)

•

Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.

•

Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.

Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:

•

Comfort and noise.

•

Winter weather driving capability.

•

Wet driving capability.

•

Four-wheel drive capability.

Mechanical Shift Blocking

On four-wheel drive vehicles with a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive high
mode, the transfer case distributes torque
to the front wheels by mechanically
interlocking the front and rear driveshafts
together. Various external factors can
affect shifting performance of this type of
system including, but not limited to:

•

Vehicle acceleration.

•

Dissimilar tire sizes.

•

Steering input.

If the system detects a mechanical shift
blockage at speed after you select
two-wheel drive high, the message "4x4
Unable to Disengage See Manual", could
display momentarily. If this message
displays, one or more of the following
actions can relieve the mechanical shift
block:

•

Momentary acceleration.

•

Momentary braking.

•

Bringing the vehicle to a stop.

•

Shifting the transmission to neutral and
back to drive.

•

Shifting the transmission to reverse
and back to drive.

•

Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed.

rear tires, you may have limited electronic
locking differential functionality. If the

wheel in the opposite direction when
rolling. We recommend engaging and
disengaging the electronic locking
differential at a stop when you mount a
spare on the rear axle.
