Keep a record for at least 1 month andrecord the type of driving (city or highway).This provides an accurate estimate of thevehicle’s fuel economy under currentdriving conditions. Additionally, keepingrecords during summer and winter showhow temperature impacts fuel economy.In general, lower temperatures mean lowerfuel economy.
Conditions
•Heavily loading a vehicle or towing atrailer may reduce fuel economy at anyspeed.
•Carrying unnecessary weight mayreduce fuel economy (approximately1 mpg [0.4 km/L] is lost for every 400pounds [180 kilograms] of weightcarried).
•Adding certain accessories to yourvehicle (for example bug deflectors,rollbars/light bars, running boards, skiracks) may reduce fuel economy.
•Using fuel blended with alcohol maylower fuel economy.
•Fuel economy may decrease with lowertemperatures during the first 8–10miles (12–16 kilometers) of driving.
•Driving on flat terrain offers improvedfuel economy as compared to drivingon hilly terrain.
•Transmissions give their best fueleconomy when operated in the topcruise gear and with steady pressureon the gas pedal.
•Close windows for high speed driving.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehiclein dry grass or other dry ground cover.The emission system heats up theengine compartment and exhaust system,which can start a fire.
Exhaust leaks may result in entry ofharmful and potentially lethal fumesinto the passenger compartment. Ifyou smell exhaust fumes inside yourvehicle, have your dealer inspect yourvehicle immediately. Do not drive if yousmell exhaust fumes.
Your vehicle is equipped with variousemission control components and acatalytic converter that will enable yourvehicle to comply with applicable exhaustemission standards. To make sure that thecatalytic converter and other emissioncontrol components continue to workproperly:
•Use only the specified fuel listed.
•Avoid running out of fuel.
•Do not turn off the ignition while yourvehicle is moving, especially at highspeeds.
•Have the items listed in scheduledmaintenance information performedaccording to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listedin scheduled maintenance information areessential to the life and performance ofyour vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraftor Ford-authorized parts for maintenancereplacements, or for service ofcomponents affecting emission control,such non-Ford parts should be theequivalent to genuine Ford Motor Companyparts in performance and durability.

1Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor VehicleBrake Fluid or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water,petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage and possiblefailure.
2Capacity is approximate and will vary due to second-stage manufacturer completionof HVAC system. Fill to the Cold Fill Level on reservoir.
3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
4The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oilsthat meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommendedviscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification markfor gasoline engines.
5Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary andcould lead to engine damage not covered by your warranty.
6Do not use API category oils labeled SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label alsodisplays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements of yourengine and emission systems.
7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based oncooler size and if equipped with in-tank cooler. Use the indication on the dipstick, showingthe normal operating range, to determine the amount of transmission fluid and the fluidlevel.
8Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid shouldonly use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause transmission damage. Change the automatic transmis-sion fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
9Filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant, consider the rear axle on your vehicle filledfor life. You do not need to check or change the rear axle lubricant unless you suspecta leak. Change the rear axle lubricant any time you have submerged the rear axle inwater.
