ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
LOCATION OF SPARE
TIRE AND TOOLS
Your spare tire and tools are
in your trunk underneath
your cargo cover. The
spare tire is designed for
emergency use only and
should be replaced as soon
as possible. For complete
details on changing your
tire, refer to the Wheels
and Tires chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.
Note: Some Taurus SHO
vehicles are equipped with a
tire mobility kit and no spare
tire. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for information
on how to use this kit.
TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a tire
pressure monitoring system
that shows a low tire
pressure warning light

in your information display
when one or more of your
tires are significantly under-
inflated. If this happens, stop
and check your tires as soon
as possible. Inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to
the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
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.REAR WINDOW
BUFFETING
When one or both of your
rear windows are open,
you may hear a pulsing
noise. To alleviate this,
lower a front window
until the noise subsides.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
AND FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has a 19.0
gallon (71.9L) fuel tank
capacity. If your vehicle has
a yellow ring around the fuel
inlet, you have a flex fuel
vehicle. You can use either
regular unleaded fuel, E85
ethanol fuel or any mixture
of the two.
It is best not to alternate
repeatedly between gasoline
and E85. If you do switch
fuels, it is recommended
that you add as much fuel
as possible, at least half a
tank. Do not add less than
5 gallons (18.9L) when
refueling. You should drive
the vehicle immediately after
refueling for at least 5 miles
(8 km) to allow the vehicle
to adapt to the change in
ethanol concentration. If you
exclusively use E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill
the fuel tank with regular
unleaded gasoline at each
scheduled oil change.
If the fuel inlet includes this
symbol
, then your
vehicle uses 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.
Refer to the Fuel and
Refueling chapter of
your Owner’s Manual
for more details.
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
With this system, push
on the fuel door to open,
insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and
therefore protected against
dust, dirt, water, snow and
ice. Wait 10 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.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE Towing your vehicle behind
an RV or any other vehicle
may be limited. Refer to
Towing the Vehicle on Four
Wheels section in the
Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
FUEL-EFFICIENT
TRANSMISSION
Your 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.
