4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or
the fuel fill funnel provided with
the vehicle several times to allow
the inlet to close properly. This will
dislodge any debris preventing the
inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately.
It may take several driving cycles for
the message to turn off. A driving
cycle consists of an engine start-up
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) followed by city or
highway driving. Continuing to drive
with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on
as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note: The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range.
When refueling your vehicle after the
fuel gauge indicates empty, you might
not be able to refuel the full amount of
the advertised capacity of the fuel tank
due to the empty reserve still present
in the tank.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel
gauge indicates empty. Do not rely on
this fuel for driving. The usable
capacity of the fuel tank is the amount
of fuel that can be put into the tank
after the gauge indicates empty. The
advertised capacity is the total fuel
tank size – it is the combined usable
capacity plus the empty reserve. Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the
fuel tank:
•
Turn the ignition off before fueling;
an inaccurate reading results if the
engine is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the
tank is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the
filling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during
the first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers)
of driving (this is your engine ’s
break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 2000
miles - 3000 miles (3200 kilometers
- 4800 kilometers). Also, fuel
expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways
to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.

1 Use only Motorcraft® DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or equivalent
meeting WSS-M6C65-A2 and ISO 4925 Class 6. Use of any fluid other than
the recommended fluid may cause brake system damage.
2 Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.
3 Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft® MERCON® LV transmission
fluid should only use Motorcraft® MERCON® LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission
damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page 440).
4 See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.
5 Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil must
meet or exceed the requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C946-A, SAE
5W-30 (2.0L engine) or WSS-M2C945-A, SAE 5W-20 (3.7L engine) and display
the API Starburst Certification Mark.
6 If the Ford specification is not shown on the oil container, the oil container must
display the API Starburst Certification Mark and the correct viscosity.
7 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
