improved Fuel
eC onomy wH ile
CoaS ting or
de C eleratingYour vehicle has been
designed to improve fuel
economy by reducing fuel
usage while coasting or
decelerating. This may be
perceived as a light to
medium braking sensation
when removing your foot
from the accelerator pedal.
eaS y Fuel™ ‘no
Cap’ Fuel Sy Stem With this system, you simply
open the fuel filler door, insert
the nozzle and begin fueling.
Ensure that you wait five
seconds from the time the
refueling nozzle is shut-off
until the nozzle is pulled back
out of the fill pipe to allow
residual fuel in the nozzle to
drain into the tank. The Easy
Fuel™ system is self-sealing
and therefore protected
against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. To use a portable
fuel container, slowly insert
the fuel funnel (located in the
spare tire compartment), and
pour the fuel into the funnel.
When done, clean the funnel
or properly dispose of it. Extra
funnels can be purchased
from your authorized dealer.
Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel™ system
and may cause damage.
Fuel tank CapaC ity/Fuel inFo Your vehicle has a fuel tank
capacity of 19.0 gallons
(71.9L). Use only “Regular”
gasoline with an octane rating
of 87. Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with
more than 10% ethanol.
tire pre SSure
Check your tire pressure at
least once a month and before long trips (including spare, if
equipped). The recommended
specifications are on the Safety
Compliance Certification
Label or Tire Label located
on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver’s door. As an added
safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure warning light
when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-
inflated. Refer to the Tires,
Wheels and Loading chapter
in your Owner’s Guide for
more information.
lo
Cation o F Spare
tire and tool SYour vehicle is either
equipped with a spare tire
or a temporary mobility kit,
both of which are located
in the spare tire well in
the trunk, under the floor
panel. The tire is designed
for emergency use only
and should be replaced as
soon as possible. The kit
contains an air compressor
to re-inflate the tire and
a sealing compound that
will seal most punctures
caused by nails or similar
objects. Do not attempt to
repair large punctures or
damage to the tire’s sidewall.
The mobility kit provides a
temporary seal allowing you
to drive up to 120 miles at a
maximum speed of 50 mph. After sealant use, the TPMS
sensor and valve stem on the
wheel must be replaced by
an authorized Ford dealer.
Note: The sealant in the
canister is to be used for one
tire only. See your authorized
dealer for replacement
canisters. For complete
information, refer to your
Owner’s Guide.
