DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

If your vehicle is equipped dual fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel gauge will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.
Fuel level indication is delayed for several minutes when the tank
selector switch is actuated. Fuel level indication can be obtained
immediately by turning off and restarting the engine.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPEEDS
Do not overspeed the engine when going downhill or steep grades. If
equipped, use the tachometer and do not allow engine speed to exceed
the redline area. Operating the engine beyond the recommended speeds
can cause severe engine damage.
If your vehicle is an F-Series equipped with a manual
transmission, your vehicle has an electronic operating strategy
which protects the engine system when the engine is operating
with high coolant temperatures; fueling to the engine will be
modified to prevent damage to the engine. Some power loss may
be experienced if the vehicle is overloaded.
