•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
•DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Fuel Filler Cap
WARNING:The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
WARNING:If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive
pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system
or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a crash, which may result in
possible personal injury.
Note:If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler
cap designed for your vehicle. The customer warranty may be void for
any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct genuine Ford,
Motorcraft or other certified fuel filler cap is not used.
Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a quarter–turn on
and off feature. When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.
4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the
filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise a
1 4–turn until it clicks at least once.
If the check fuel cap light appears in the instrument cluster and stays on
after you start the engine, you not have installed the fuel filler cap
properly.
If the fuel cap light remains on, at the next opportunity, safely pull off
the road, remove the fuel filler cap, align the cap properly and reinstall
it. The check fuel cap light may not reset immediately; it may take
several driving cycles for the indicators to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four or more hours with the engine
off) followed by normal city and highway driving.

To fill the DEF tank, see an authorized dealer or do the following (before
filling the DEF tank in cold climates, seeFilling the DEF tank in cold
climateslater in this section):
DEF Bottle Fill with Spout
The following procedure applies to Motorcraft DEF or similar DEF
bottles. For other brands or bottle types, see the instructions on the
bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from the DEF
container and twist the spout onto
the container until the locking tab
engages.
2. Open the DEF filler port on your
vehicle by turning the blue cap
counterclockwise a quarter-turn.
3. Lift and hold the DEF container,
without tipping, and insert the
spout, into the DEF filler port.
4. Lift and tip the container to let
DEF flow into the tank. Pour DEF
until the container is empty or DEF
flow stops. DEF can be seen flowing
through the spout, but does not
completely fill the spout while
flowing. Air is trapped in the spout
while DEF is flowing. When the
DEF tank is full, DEF completely
fills the spout and displaces the air
in the spout.

5. Once the spout is full with DEF (no more large air pockets), return
the container to the vertical position slightly below the DEF filler port
and let any DEF drain out of the spout. DO NOT try to continue to add
DEF to the tank by shaking or repositioning the container to induce flow.
This may cause spilling and overfill the tank. Overfilling the DEF tank
can cause damage to the tank.
6. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the DEF filler
port and install the blue cap on the DEF filler port by turning the cap
clockwise a
1 4-turn.
7. Remove the spout from the DEF container and install the cap back on
the bottle.
8. If the container is empty, discard the empty container and spout, or
recycle if possible. If there is some DEF left in the container, retain it
and the spout for later use. Store the spout to keep it clean.
9. Wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces with water
and a damp cloth.
DEF Filling Station Nozzle Fill
Filling the DEF tank using a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The
nozzle shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Do not continue to
fill the tank as this may cause spillage and overfill the tank, which can
cause damage.
Filling the DEF Tank in Cold Climates
DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). If temperatures are at or below 12°F
(-11°C) for an extended period, and the DEF tank is full, and you are
not going to drive your vehicle, there is a risk that the tank could freeze,
causing damage. If low temperature conditions are expected, you should
keep your tank at least 50% full and make sure you add DEF on level
ground to prevent the fluid from freezing on an angle.

Adding Engine Oil
Note:Do not remove the engine oil dipstick or the filler cap when the
engine is running.
Note:Do not add engine oil further than the MAX mark. Oil levels above
the MAX mark may cause engine damage.
Only use oils certified for gasoline engines by the
American Petroleum Institute (API). Oil with this
trademark symbol conforms to the current engine and
emission system protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the International Lubricants
Specification Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised of
U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. If the engine oil level is not within the normal range, add engine oil
that meets Ford specifications. SeeCapacities and Specifications
for more information. Remove the engine oil filler cap and use a
funnel to pour the engine oil into the opening.
3. Recheck the engine oil level. Make sure the oil level is not above the
normal operating range on the engine oil dipstick.
4. Put the dipstick back in completely.
5. Fully install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks or
stops turning.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

Rotation may not advisable:
•Front (Steering) Axle:Remove tires when tread wears down to
four–thirty seconds inch (3 millimeters) or less. Retread or rotate
worn tires to drive position. We do not recommend using retreaded
tires on steering axles.
•Rear Axles:Remove tires when tread wears down to two–thirty
seconds inch (2 millimeters).
If using a rib tire on front axle and lug or off-road type on rear axle
positions:
•Front (Steering) Axle:Replace tires at front wheels when tread is
worn to four–thirty seconds inch (3 millimeters) or less.
•Rear Axles:Remove tires when the tread wears down to two–thirty
seconds inch (2 millimeters) or less. Tires identified with the word
re-groovable molded on the sidewall can be re-grooved. There must
be a minimum of three–thirty seconds inch (2.5 millimeters) of
under-tread at the bottom of the grooves.
Wheel and Tire Balancing
Out-of-round or out-of-balance wheels or tires can cause vehicle
vibration, bounce and shimmy. Replace damaged or out-of-round wheels.
You can correct out-of-round tires and wheel assemblies by re-clocking
the tire relative to the wheel.
You should then dynamically balance the tire and wheel assembly.
Tire Wear
Radial tires can exhibit three types of normal wear patterns:
•Even
•Erosion
•Chamfer
Even wear:A sign that the tire is being properly used and maintained.
Erosion wear:Also called rolling wear, channel or river wear, erosion
wear occurs more often on free-rolling tires. This is an indication of
using the tire in a slow wearing operation. What happens is that the belt
plies are held very rigid and the tread is not allowed to distort as it
passes through the contact area. Wear only occurs at the edge of the
tread. No corrective action required. If erosion gets to be one–sixteenth
inch (2 millimeters) or more, you can rotate the tire to a drive axle.
Chamfer or shoulder wear:With tires inflated properly, this is a
normal tendency of most radial tire designs. If both inside and outside
shoulders are wearing evenly around the tire, no further action is
required. Over-inflation is not effective in correcting this effect.
