Along with the (Engine coolant temperature) indicator, the engine

coolant temperature gauge will read in the Hot (H) area.

Oil overheat can be triggered in severe driving conditions, such as

towing heavy loads over mountainous terrain in extreme hot

temperatures. As oil temperature increases, engine and vehicle speed

will be limited. The transmission will also shift differently.

When the engine oil has cooled, the vehicle will perform normally.

When fail-safe cooling mode is activated

You have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the

vehicle with caution. Remember that the engine is capable of completely

shutting down automatically to prevent engine damage, therefore:

1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine.

2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer.

3. If this is not possible, wait approximately 15 minutes for the engine to

cool.

4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low. Look for coolant leakage

in the engine compartment and under the vehicle.

WARNING: Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

5. Restart the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.

Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem

increases the chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

FUEL FILTER

For fuel filter replacement, see your authorized dealer. Refer to

scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for

changing the fuel filter.

Replace the fuel filter with an authorized Motorcraft part. The

customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel system

if an authorized Motorcraft fuel filter is not used.
