Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, accident and
injury. Ford Motor c ompany strongly
recommends that drivers use extreme
caution when using any device or
feature that may take their focus off
the road. Your primary responsibility is
the safe operation of the vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any hand
held device while driving, encourage the
use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware
of applicable state and local laws that
may affect use of electronic devices
while driving.
Warning

Roadside assistance:
Your new Ford vehicle comes
with the assurance and support
of 24-hour emergency roadside
assistance. To receive roadside
assistance in the United States,
call 1-800-241-3673. In canada,
call 1 -800-665-2006.
Tire pressure monitoring system:
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your
tires is significantly underinflated. If this happens, stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the
proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in
the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Cleaning:
When washing your vehicle, do not use a commercial
or high pressure wand to wash striped surfaces. For the
best results use Motorcraft
® cleaning products. Wash
your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a
neutral pH shampoo such as Motorcraft Detail Wash. For
cleaning chrome wheels use c ustom Bright Metal cleaner.
Apply the product as you would a wax to clean bumpers
and other chrome parts; allow the cleaner to dry for a few
minutes, then wipe off the haze with a clean, dry rag.
Improved fuel economy while coasting
or decelerating:
Automatic transmission vehicles have 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.
Fuel tank capacity/fuel info:
Your vehicle has a 16 gallon (60.6L) fuel tank capacity.
Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because your
vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than
15% ethanol.
Note: For all V8 engines including BOSS 302 vehicles,
premium fuel is recommended. Shelby Mustang vehicles
require premium fuel. See the respective supplements
for more fuel information on these vehicles.
SOS Post-Crash Alert System™:
Provides audible and visual alarms when a crash causes
the deployment of airbags or the activation of the safety
belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn
will sound. To deactivate, press the hazard flasher control,
or the panic button
on your remote transmitter.

Easy Fuel® System:
With this system, you simply open the fuel door, insert the
nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait
five seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off
until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow
residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. When
using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the spare tire compartment), and pour
the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not
work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage.
Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Location of spare tire and tools:
Your vehicle is either equipped with a temporary spare
tire or a temporary mobility kit, both of which are located
in the trunk. The mobility 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. For vehicles with a spare tire,
refer to Changing a Road Wheel in the Wheels and Tires
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

engine braking. When the vehicle is in (S) Sport mode, manual gear
selection is enabled by using the thumb toggle on the side of the gearshift
lever. Press (+) to upshift, press (–) to downshift. Return the gearshift lever
