Engine Idle Hour Meter

Your vehicle may been fitted with an idle
meter to indicate how much time the
vehicle has been sitting in park (P) or
neutral (N). The meter is incorporated with
the vehicle odometer. Depressing the
odometer-reset button once displays the
trip odometer (miles [kilometers]
following by a "T" for trip odometer);
depressing the odometer-reset button a
second time displays the idle meter (hours
following by an "H" for hours). The idle

meter only accumulates time when the
vehicle is in park (P) or neutral (N).
Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle
and cannot be reset to zero. Police vehicles
often experience long periods of idling,
during which engine oil continues to break
down but distance is not accumulated on
the odometer.

Engine idle hour meter calculation:

Idle hours x 33 = miles (kilometers)
equivalency

Miles (kilometers) driven + miles
(kilometers) equivalency = oil change
interval

Example: When the odometer has
accumulated 3,000 mi (4,800 km) and
the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mi
(8,000 km) oil change interval has been
reached: 3,000 mi (4,800 km) + (61 idle
hours x 33 miles [53 km]/idle hour) =
5,015 mi (8,067 km).

Exceptions

There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:

Axle and PTU maintenance: The Power
Transfer Unit (PTU) and rear axle (all
wheel drive only) in your vehicle does not
require any normal scheduled
maintenance. Vehicles are electronically
monitored and notify the driver required
service by displaying a message in the
information display. The PTU lube will be
more likely to require a fluid change if the
vehicle has experienced extended periods
of extreme/severe duty cycle driving.
Changing or checking the PTU lubricant is
not necessary unless the unit has been
submerged in water, shows signs of
leakage or a message indicating required
service is displayed. Contact your
authorized dealer for service.

California fuel filter replacement: If you
register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.

Hot climate oil change intervals:
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using an
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal
oil change interval is 5,000 mi (8,000 km).

If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
3,000 mi (4,800 km).

Engine air filter and cabin air filter
replacement: The life of the engine air
filter and cabin air filter is dependent on
exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
Vehicles operated in these conditions
require frequent inspection and
replacement of the engine air filter and
cabin air filter.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY

WARNINGS

Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the airbag
cover, on the side of the seatbacks

(of the front seats), or in front seat areas
that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash.

Do not fasten antenna cables to
original vehicle wiring, fuel pipes and
brake pipes.

Keep antenna and power cables at
least 4 in (10 cm) from any electronic
modules and airbags.

Note: We test and certify your vehicle to
meet electromagnetic compatibility
legislation (UNECE Regulation 10 or other
applicable local requirements). It is your
responsibility to make sure that any
equipment an authorized dealer installs on
your vehicle complies with applicable local
legislation and other requirements.

Note: Any radio frequency transmitter
equipment in your vehicle (such as cellular
telephones and amateur radio transmitters)
must keep to the parameters in the
following table. We do not provide special
provisions or conditions for installations or
use.
