Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument cluster chapter for transmission fluid temperature information. 137 2003 F250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus) Driving Emergency maneuvers · In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn must be made, remember to avoid "over-driving" your vehicle, i. e. , turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid the emergency. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or brake pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover and/or personal injury. Use all available road surface to return the vehicle to a safe direction of travel. · In the event of an emergency stop, avoid skidding the tires and do not attempt any sharp steering wheel movements. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. · If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (i. e. , from concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way the vehicle responds to a maneuver (steering, acceleration or braking). Parking On some 4WD vehicles, when the transfer case is in the N (Neutral) position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the manual transmission is in gear. Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle. 4WD Systems 4WD (when you select a 4WD mode), uses all four wheels to power the vehicle. This increases traction, enabling you to drive over terrain and road conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. 138 2003 F250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus) Driving Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case. On 4WD vehicles, the transfer case allows you to select 4WD when necessary. Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be found in the Driving chapter. Information on transfer case maintenance can be found in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. You should become thoroughly familiar with this information before you operate your vehicle. [. . . ] Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON SP may cause transmission damage. Use of a transmission fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. 259 2003 F250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus) Maintenance and Specifications ENGINE DATA Engine* Cubic inches Required fuel Firing order Spark plug gap Ignition system Compression ratio 5. 4L V8 engine 330 87 octane 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 1. 3-1. 4 mm (0. 052-0. 056 inch) Coil on plug 9. 0:1 6. 8L V10 engine 415 87 octane 1-6-5-10-2-7-3-8-4-9 1. 3-1. 4 mm (0. 052-0. 056 inch) Coil on plug 9. 0:1 *Refer to the 6. 0 Liter Power Stroke Direct Injection Turbo Diesel Owner's Guide Supplement for Motorcraft diesel engine service part numbers.
