Fuel and Refueling

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGSHill descent control cannot controldescent in all surface conditions andcircumstances, such as ice or

extremely steep grades. Hill descentcontrol is a driver assist system and cannotsubstitute for good judgment by the driver.Failure to do so may result in loss of vehiclecontrol, crash or serious injury.

Hill descent control does not providehill hold at zero miles per hour (0kilometers per hour). When stopped,

the parking brake must be applied or thevehicle must be placed in P (Park) or itmay roll away.

Hill descent control allows the driver to setand maintain vehicle speed whiledescending steep grades in various surfaceconditions.Hill descent control can maintain vehiclespeeds on downhill grades between 2 mph(3 km/h) and 12 mph (20 km/h). Above 20mph (32 km/h), the system remainsarmed, but descent speed cannot be setor maintained.Hill descent control requires a coolingdown interval after a period of sustaineduse. The amount of time that the featurecan remain active before cooling varieswith conditions. The system will provide awarning in the message center and a chimewill sound when the system is about todisengage for cooling. At this time,manually apply the brakes as needed tomaintain descent speed.

USING HILL DESCENTCONTROL

E168102

1. Press and release the hill descentbutton located on the center console.Switching on this feature will light thebutton and sound a tone.

2. Press the accelerator pedal to increasedescent speed until you have reachedthe desired speed.

3. Press the brake pedal to decreasedescent speed until you have reachedthe desired speed.

Note: Once you have reached the desireddescent speed, remove your feet from thepedals to maintain the chosen vehiclespeed.See the Information Displays chapter ofyour Owner’s Manual for hill descentmode messages.

FRONT VIEW CAMERAFront Off-Road Camera System

WARNINGSThe off-road mode camera systemis an off-road aid supplement devicethat still requires the driver to use it

in conjunction with viewing the front of thevehicle.

Due to the limited coverage of thecamera system, objects close toeither corner of the bumper may not

be visible on the screen.Drive forward as slowly as possiblesince higher speeds might limit yourreaction time to stop the vehicle.Do not use the camera system withthe hood open. If the hood is open,the camera will be out of position

and the video image may be incorrect.Use caution when turning the frontcamera features on or off while in D(Drive). Make sure the vehicle is not

moving.

Note: The front off-road camera system isa convenience feature and is not asubstitute for your front windshield. Alwaysbe aware of the environment around you.The front view camera provides a videoimage of the area in front of the vehicle,which appears on the touchscreen. Thisfeature will aid you in off-road conditions,such as rock-climbing, slow-speedmaneuvering and cresting hills, when yourview through the front windshield isunclear.

E167336

The front camera system is located on thefront grille.If the front grille of your vehicle sustainsdamage, check with your authorized dealerto have your front off-road video systemchecked for proper coverage andoperation.

Using the Front Off-road CameraSystemNote: At nighttime or in dark areas, thecamera system relies on thefront-headlamps lighting to produce animage.Note: The vehicle must be traveling below15 mph (25 km/h) for the front off-roadcamera to operate. Traveling above 15 mph(25 km/h) while the camera is active willcause the camera to shut off, it will not turnback on until the vehicle goes below 13 mph(21 km/h).Note: Adjusting the brightness and contrastof the screen may help the image on thescreen become more clear. You can adjustthese settings in the Settings menu whenthe front camera is active.Note: The front off-road mode camerasystem image may become unclear or seemdistorted from water droplets, snow, mudor any other substance.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING

WARNINGOff-roading can be extremelydangerous and carries inherent risksthat may not be preventable even

with the best precautions. Ford stronglyrecommends driving within your ability andtaking every safety precaution, includingthose found here and at other off-roaddriving organizations such as the Best inthe Desert Racing (www.bitd.com) andSCORE International Off-Road Racing.

In addition to providing an excellenton-road driving experience, your vehicleexcels at all types of off-road driving. Thetruck has been designed and equipped toallow you to explore those places wherethe road doesn’t take you whether it’s aforest trail or the open desert. Before goingoff-roading, consult with your localgovernmental agencies to determinedesignated off-road trails and recreationareas. Also, be sure to understand anyoff-road vehicle registration requirementsfor the area in which you plan on driving.Tread Lightly is an educational programdesigned to increase public awareness ofland-use regulations and responsibilitiesin our nation’s wilderness areas. Ford joinsthe U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of LandManagement in encouraging you to helppreserve our national forest and otherpublic and private lands by treading lightly.Before taking your vehicle off-roading, abasic vehicle inspection should be done tomake sure that the vehicle is in top workingcondition.

It is always recommended that at leasttwo vehicles are used while off-roading.The buddy system helps make sure thathelp is close at hand should a vehiclebecome stuck or damaged. It is also wiseto take supplies such as a first aid kit,supply of water, tow strap, cell or satellitephone with you any time an off-roadexcursion is planned.

Off-Road ModeOff road mode changes the calibrations offour systems on the vehicle to enhance offroad performance:• Electronic locking differential

(ELD)— Any speed thresholds for theELD are lifted. The ELD will remainlocked up to the maximum vehiclespeed when engaged.

• AdvanceTrac— When off-road modeis engaged, the AdvanceTrac settingsare altered for optimized off-roadperformance.

• Transmission shifting andresponse— The transmission shiftschedule is altered for improved offroad performance. Upshifts aredelayed and occur less frequently. Thiswill provide the best possible vehicleresponse and acceleration.

• Engine throttle calibration— Theengine throttle calibration is altered forimproved off-road performance.

Note: Operating the vehicle in this modedoes not guarantee that the vehicle will notbecome stuck in sand, snow or mud or otherdebris. It is the driver’s responsibility toassess off-road situations and determine ifthe terrain is passable.Note: Tow/haul mode will be disabledwhen off-road mode is active. If tow/haulmode is active, it will be disabled whenoff-road mode is active.

Driving Hints

Off-road ScreenThe real-time status of your vehiclesoff-road systems can be continuouslymonitored using the first off-road screenfound under the Truck Apps menu in theinformation displays screen. See theInformation Displays chapter of yourOwner’s Manual for more information.

Basic Off-road Driving Techniques•• Grip the steering wheel with thumbs

on the outside of the rim. This willreduce the risk of injury due to abruptsteering wheel motions that occurwhen negotiating rough terrain. Do notgrip the steering wheel with thumbsinside the rim.

• Throttle, brake and steering inputsshould be made in a smooth andcontrolled manner. Sudden inputs tothe controls can cause loss of tractionor upset the vehicle, especially whileon sloped terrain or while crossingobstacles such as rocks or logs.

• Look ahead on your route notingupcoming obstacles, surface textureor color changes or any other factorswhich may indicate a change inavailable traction, and adjust thevehicle speed and route accordingly.During pre-run, mark obstacles withGPS markers to make sure appropriatespeeds are used to avoid potentialvehicle damage.

• When driving off-road, if the front orrear suspension is bottoming-outand/or excessive contact with theskid-plates is encountered, reducevehicle speed to avoid potentialdamage to the vehicle.

• When running with other vehicles, it isrecommended that communication isused, and the lead vehicle notify othervehicles of obstacles that could causepotential vehicle damage.

• Always keep available groundclearance in mind and pick a route thatminimizes the risk of catching theunderside of the vehicle on an obstacle.

• When negotiating low speed obstacles,applying light brake pressure inconjunction with the throttle will helpprevent the vehicle from jerking andwill allow you to negotiate the obstaclein a more controlled manner. Using 4Lwill also help with this.

• Use and equip supplemental safetyequipment as discussed later in thischapter.

• Please consult your local off-roadgroup for other helpful tips.

• Off-roading requires a high degree ofconcentration. Even if your local lawdoes not prohibit alcohol use whiledriving off-road, Ford stronglyrecommends against drinking if youplan to off-road.

Operating a Performance Vehicleat Higher than Normal SpeedsYour vehicle is capable of operating athigher than normal off-road speeds and isequipped with tires rated for the vehicles’maximum speed. However, it is importantto remember to always drive safely, obeyall traffic laws and only operate yourvehicle at higher than normal speeds atlocations and under conditions where suchcan be done safely.

19

F150 (TF6)

Driving Hints

Before operating your vehicle at higherthan normal speeds:• Make sure your tires are at the correct

tire pressure. See Tire Care (page 26).• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and

damage. Replace any damaged wheelsor tires.

• Never operate the vehicle at higherthan normal speeds when loaded withpassengers/cargo.

Driving in Mud• Deep mud should be approached with

caution especially if you are driving inan unfamiliar area.

• If possible, test the depth of a mud holebefore entering with the vehicle.

• Keep in mind that obstacles and deepruts may be hidden beneath thesurface of the mud.

• Proceed in a steady, controlled mannerthrough deep mud while maintainingmomentum.

• If momentum is lost and you feel thevehicle becoming stuck, turning thesteering wheel back and forth (sawingthe wheel) quarter turn in eachdirection may give the traction youneed to clear the muddy area.

• In higher speed areas with shallowmud, directional control will be reducedin the muddy area much like on snowor ice. When approaching such an area,be sure to slow to a speed whichallows you to maneuver as required bythe conditions.

Driving in SandWARNING

Tires must be returned to normalrecommended tire pressures beforedriving on pavement or hard

surfaces. Failure to properly maintain yourtire pressure could increase the risk of tirefailure, loss of control, vehicle rollover andpersonal injury.

Soft sand and dunes present a very uniquedriving challenge. Before going on such adrive, some research is advised regardingproven techniques and pitfalls inherent indriving in deep sand.Some general points to consider:• It is very difficult and in many cases

impossible to navigate deep sand withtire pressures which are appropriate foron-road driving. If you decide to airdown your tires, be advised that the tirepressure monitoring light willilluminate. The tires must be returnedto normal recommended tire pressuresbefore driving on pavement or hardsurfaces.

• Lower tire pressures are more likely tocause a debeading of the tire duringcornering. Avoid sharp or abrupt turnswhen you have extremely low tirepressures.

• To help prevent becoming stuck indeep sand, avoid spinning the tires ormaking abrupt maneuvers. Proceed ina controlled manner while maintainingvehicle momentum.

• Avoid stopping or parking on inclinesas this makes it more difficult toresume driving.

20

F150 (TF6)

Driving Hints

Driving in Deep Snow• Maintain vehicle momentum.• Apply the throttle very gently to avoid

spinning the tires. Spinning the tires willpotentially dig the vehicle deeper intothe snow.

• Drive in a controlled manner, avoidingaggressive steering wheel movements,and keep braking to a minimum.

• Extremely deep snow may cause thevehicle to high center causing thevehicle to become stuck. Test thedepth of the snow before trying to drivethrough it.

Crossing Obstacles• Review the path ahead before

attempting to cross any obstacle. It isbest if the obstacle is reviewed fromoutside the vehicle so that there is agood understanding of terrain conditionboth in, front of, and behind theobstacle.

• Approach obstacles slowly and slowlyinch the vehicle over.

• If a large obstacle such as a rockcannot be avoided, choose a path thatplaces the rock directly under the tirerather than the undercarriage of thevehicle. This will help prevent damageto the vehicle.

• Ditches and washouts should becrossed at a 45 degree angle, allowingeach wheel to independently cross theobstacle.

Hill ClimbingWARNING

Extreme care should be used whensteering the vehicle in reverse downa slope so as not to cause the vehicle

to swerve out of control.

• Always attempt to climb a steep hillalong the fall line of the slope and notdiagonally.

• If the vehicle is unable to make it upthe hill, DO NOT attempt to turn backdown the slope. Place the vehicle inlow range and slowly back down inreverse.

• When descending a steep slope, selectlow gear and engage hill descentcontrol. Use the throttle and brakepedals to control your descent speedas described earlier in this section usinghill descent control. Note that hilldescent control is functional in reverseand should be used in this situation.

Water WadingYour vehicle is designed to operate in waterdepths up to 30 inches (760 millimeters).However, as the water depth increases,vehicle speed must be reduced to avoidpotential vehicle damage.• Always determine the depth before

attempting a water crossing.• Proceed slowly and avoid splashing

water any more than is necessary.• Be aware that obstacles and debris

may be beneath the water’s surface.• Keep the doors fully closed during the

water crossing.• Upon completion of the water crossing,

slowly drive a short distance and checkthe brakes for full effectiveness.

Refer to chart below for the maximumallowable speeds when driving throughwater.Note: Failure to follow the recommendedspeeds may result in vehicle damage.

High Speed Off-RoadingThe off-road driving discussed thus far hasfocused on the type of events typicallyencountered during slow speed off-roaddriving conditions. Your vehicle providesexcellent performance in a full size pick-uptruck during these slower speed conditions,but truly excels at higher speed baja styleoff-road driving. High speed off-roadingpresents a unique challenge, but extra careand caution should be taken beforeengaging in this type of driving.

If you plan on using the truck for severe,high speed off-road use, the following isrecommended:• Equip your truck with the safety

equipment used for the Stock-FullClass as defined in the rule books forthe Best in the Desert Racing(www.bitd.com) and SCOREInternational Off-Road Racing(www.score-international.com).

• Use personal safety equipmentincluding a SNELL SA certified helmetand approved neck restraint device.

• Before venturing off-road in unfamiliarareas at high speeds, do a low speedreconnaissance run (prerun) tobecome aware of any obstacles thatyou will encounter.

Ford SVT has engineered your vehicle foroff-road use beyond what is normal for aF-150. However, it can incur damage ifdriven beyond its capabilities. Skid plates,shock guards and running boards weredesigned to help limit damage to vitalcomponents and exterior finishes, butcannot prevent all damage if driven inextreme off-road conditions. Damage toskid plates, shock guards, running boardsand exterior finishes as well as bent,cracked or broken body, frame and chassiscomponents may not be covered bywarranty.It is important that you take the time tobecome familiar with the controls anddynamics of your vehicle beforeattempting higher speed off-roading.

Driving Hints

Some points to consider:• Build up speed slowly. Initially, drive at

a pace which allows ample time to fullyassess the terrain around you and tounderstand how the vehicle isresponding to both the terrain anddriver inputs. Increase pace as comfortincreases while always being mindfulof how the vehicle is responding tovarious events at different speeds.

• Find a wide open place to experimentwith different functions on the truck.Try a given maneuver with differentvehicle settings (4H vs. 4L),(differential locked vs. unlocked),(AdvanceTrac in key-on vs. single pressvs. press and hold modes) and see howthe truck responds. Start slowly andbuild pace as comfort increases.

• Similarly, in a wide open space,experiment with different drivingtechniques. For example, if the vehicleis tending to push straight ahead whentrying to negotiate a turn(understeering or plowing), a lightapplication of the brake while turningmay help rotate the truck. A wider entryto the corner or entering the cornermore slowly may help the truck turnand allow you to apply the throttlesooner after negotiating the turn.

• Remember the phrase smooth is fast.This refers to your steering, throttle,and brake movements. Smoothdecisive movements will yieldimproved results while helping toincrease safety.

• As speed increases, it is wise to lookfarther ahead of the vehicle so thatthere is time to react to oncomingobstacles. Remember that in manyoff-road environments, obstacles willbe hard to see until they are relativelynear. A good strategy is to alternatebetween looking far ahead and upcloser to the front of the vehicle asyou’re driving.

• Also remember to drive what you cansee. This refers to not driving fasterthan you are able to negotiateunforeseen upcoming obstacles. Thiscould refer to obstacles over a brow, ina ravine, in brush, in dusty conditions,and in the darkness among others.

• If you are driving in a dusty area. Be sureto leave ample distance between youand any other vehicles to make sureadequate vision.

• Always remember that you may not bethe only one in a particular recreationalarea, always be cognizant of others inyour area. This is especially true ofmotorcycles and ATV’s which may bemore difficult to spot than a full-sizedvehicle.

• If driving in desert conditions, it isadvised that you always drive with yourheadlights on to help other driversmore easily see you.

• While driving in desert conditions, themidpoint of the day is the most difficulttime to see many of the small ridgesand dips due to flat shadows from thesun being at its highest point. Extremecare should be taken at these times tonot inadvertently run into theseobstacles.

Driving Hints

•• It is highly encouraged that you switch

to off-road mode and perform anAdvanceTrac single press to make sureimproved off-road brakingperformance under these conditions.Be sure to disengage the off-roadmode and switch back to AdvanceTrackey-on mode before performing anystreet driving. Please see the Off-RoadMode section of this supplement formore details.

After Off-Road DrivingIt is important to complete a full vehicleinspection after off-road driving. Someitems to check include:• Make sure that tires are inflated to

proper tire pressure as indicated on thetire placard.

• Check the wheels and undercarriagefor built up mud or debris which cancause vehicle vibration.

• Make sure that the grille and radiatorare clear of any obstructions that mayaffect cooling.

• Make sure that the brakes are in properworking order and free of any mud,stones and debris, which can becometrapped around the brake rotor,backing plate and caliper.

• Check that the air filter is clean and dry.• Inspect for torn or punctured boots on

ball joints, half shafts, steering gears.• Inspect exhaust system for damage or

looseness.• Inspect undercarriage fasteners. If any

are loose or damaged, tighten orreplace ensuring that the proper torquespecification is used.

• Inspect the tires for any cuts in thetread or sidewall area. Also inspect thesidewall for any bulge indicatingdamage to the tire.

• Inspect the wheels for dents, cracks,or other damage.

TIRE CARE

WARNINGSAlways re-inflate tires torecommended tire pressures beforethe vehicle is operated on-road. The

recommended pressure is located on thetire placard label or safety certificationlabel, located on the B-pillar, inside thedriver’s door.

Always check tires and wheels fordamage before returning to the road.Off-road use may cause damage to

your tires and wheels that could result intire failure.

Note: If you have reduced your tire pressurefor off-road use, the tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) warning light will thenactivate in the instrument panel as areminder to re-inflate the tires beforereturning to the road.

Your vehicle is equipped with highperformance, all-terrain tires designed tooptimize handling, steering and braking toprovide the performance you expect in anSVT vehicle. These tires are optimized forboth on and off-road performance, andtheir ride, noise and wear characteristicsare different from other tires. Also, becauseof their aggressive tread profile, it isimportant that you maintain your tiresproperly.• Always maintain your tire pressures

according to the tire informationplacard located on the driver’s doorB-pillar, using an accurate gauge.Remember to be prepared to re-inflateyour tires before returning to the road.If a tire filling station is not available,remember to prepare a supplementalmeans to inflate the tires, such as aportable compressor.

• In cold temperature, check the tirepressure after the vehicle has beenparked for more than three hours. Donot reduce pressure of warm tires.

• Check your tire pressure often tomaintain it properly. Tire pressure candiminish over time and fluctuate withtemperature.

• Do not overload your vehicle. Maximumvehicle and axle weights are listed onthe tire information placard.

• Extra caution should be taken whenoperating the vehicle near its maximumload, including assuring proper tirepressure and reducing speeds.

• In the event that you encounter anabnormally harsh impact, inspect yourtires for damage.

• Inspect your tires for damage on aregular basis. Replace a damaged tireimmediately.

26

F150 (TF6)

Wheels and Tires

• Proper suspension alignment is criticalfor maximum performance andoptimal tire wear. If you notice uneventire wear, have your alignment checked.

• When replacing tires, the only way toassure original performance is to usethe original equipment tire. If a differenttire is used, it should be the same size,speed rating and load rating.

Tire RotationBecause your vehicle’s tires performdifferent jobs, they often wear differently.To make sure your tires wear evenly andlast longer, have them rotated.

E142548

The front tires are shown at the left of theillustration.Note: Your vehicle requires tire rotationsevery 5000 miles (8000 kilometers). If younotice that the tires wear unevenly, havethem checked.

Spare Tire and WheelYour vehicle is equipped with anLT315/70R17 spare tire. The sparetire/wheel assembly has the samecapability as the road tire/wheel assembly,but is not equipped with a tire pressuremonitoring sensor.

USING SNOW CHAINSThe original equipment tires on your vehicleare not designed to be used with snowchains. If you will be operating your vehiclewith snow chains, use a smaller tire andwheel combination as recommended inyour Owner’s Manual.

WHEELSYour vehicle is equipped with uniquewheels matched to the tires. To avoiddamage to your wheels:• Maintain proper tire pressure. See Tire

Care (page 26).• Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this

vehicle cannot be taken through anautomatic car wash that usesmechanical tracks, as wheel damagemay result.

• When installing wheels, always torquelug nuts to specification with a torquewrench.

• Inspect your wheels for damage on aregular basis. If you have a damagedwheel, replace it immediately.

• In the event that you encounter anabnormally harsh impact, inspect theouter diameter of your wheels, bothinside and out, for damage.

Optional Bead-Lock CompatibleWheelNote: SVT only recommends usingbead-lock rings from Ford Racing, inconjunction with the OEM tire. Any othercombination using this wheel could resultin air loss or tire failure.Note: Converting the bead-lock compatiblewheel to true bead-locks is for off-road useonly. On road driving is not permitted.
