  • Page 99 To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that vehicle lap/shoulder safety belts fit better.
  • Page 100 Seating and Safety Restraints height of at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall (around age eight to age twelve and between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) or upward to 100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by your child restraint manufacturer). Many state and provincial laws require that children use approved booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg).
  • Page 101 Seating and Safety Restraints • High back booster seats If, with a backless booster seat, you cannot find a seating position that adequately supports your child’s head, a high back booster seat would be a better choice. Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder.

Prior to engine operation, remove any debris blocking the core.
  • Page 221 Maintenance and Specifications SUSPENSION INSPECTION Note: Do not adjust air suspension height to any setting other than the specified setting. Altering the height setting will change the driveline angle and may result in unwarrantable component damage, such as transmission component damage. Verify drive axle air suspension height and height control valve performance at engine lube oil change intervals.
  • Page 222 Maintenance and Specifications WARNING: Do not use a jack when working under a vehicle. It may give way, causing the vehicle to fall and result in property damage, personal injury or death. Always use floor stands to support the vehicle. FRAME AND TOW HOOKS Your vehicles chassis is manufactured with frame rails of either HSLA steel or heat-treated steel.
  • Page 223 Maintenance and Specifications Air suspension U-bolt and U-bolt nut installation 1. Inspect the threads of the U-bolt and nut for rust and debris. Clean the threads if contaminated. 2.

    Maintenance and Specifications WARNING: Use only the same type and style wheels and mounting hardware to replace original parts. Failure to do so may result in an assembly that looks fine, but does not fit together properly. This could possibly cause wheel or fastener failures which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
  • Page 230 Maintenance and Specifications WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, always follow these instructions when mounting radial tires on wheels: • Only personnel that have had proper training and experience should mount or remove tires from rims or wheels. • Use only heavy-duty rims or approved rims for radial tires. It may be necessary to contact your wheel and rim distributor to determine if your rims are approved for radial tires.
  • Page 231 Maintenance and Specifications WARNING: An inflated tire and rim can be very dangerous if improperly used, serviced or maintained. To avoid serious injury, never attempt to re-inflate a tire which has been run flat or seriously under-inflated without first removing the tire from the wheel assembly for inspection.
  • Page 232 Maintenance and Specifications Stay out of the trajectory (1) as indicated in the illustration. WARNING: Do not mount tube type tires on tubeless wheels or tubeless tires on tube type wheels. To do so could result in tire or wheel failure and cause property damage, personal injury or death. Preserving proper inflation pressure is a very important maintenance practice to insure safe vehicle operation and long life for the tires.
  • Page 233 Maintenance and Specifications Under-inflation is the primary cause of premature tire concerns including sudden loss of air. In addition, low inflation causes an increase in rolling resistance. This results in reduced fuel mileage, a loss in tread mileage, and uneven wear due to increased tread movement. To determine proper inflation refer to the tire manufacturer load/inflation guide which can be found on the tire manufacturer website or at your local truck tire dealer.
  • Page 234 Maintenance and Specifications Matching Dual Tires: Dual tires should be matched using tires of equivalent size. Tires which differ more than ⁄ inch (6 mm) in diameter or ⁄ inch (19 mm) in circumference should not be mounted on the same dual wheel assembly.
  • Page 235 Maintenance and Specifications Wear Radial tires can exhibit three types of normal wear patterns: 1. Even 2. Erosion 3. Chamfer Even wear is a sign that the tire is being properly used and maintained. Erosion wear has also been called rolling wear, channel or river wear. Erosion wear is found more often at free rolling tires.
  • Page 236 Maintenance and Specifications Irregular wear can be minimized by: • Using the right inflation pressure for the load being carried. • Maintaining proper front wheel alignment - especially toe-in - to specifications. • Maintaining proper tire and wheel balance. • Maintaining shock absorbers and suspension components. Use of tire chains Refer to chain manufacturer’s recommendation for correct tire chain usage, installation and removal.
