FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has an 18.6 gallon (70.4L) fuel tank capacity. We recommend regular unleaded gasoline
with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. We do not recommend fuels with an octane rating below
87. For vehicles with EcoBoost engines or to provide improved performance, we recommend premium
fuel for severe duty usage such as trailer tow. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster if 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.

LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS

We designed the spare tire for emergency use only and
strongly advise you to replace it as soon as possible.
For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the
Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
TRAILER TOW *
Before you tow, refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete
information on weight, details and limitations, as well
as safety information and the proper equipment to use
while towing.
Note: Do not tow with the mini spare tire installed
or exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
Safety Compliance Certification Label.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL *
This system helps to reduce trailer sway while towing by
applying brake force to individual wheels and, if necessary,
reducing engine power. If the trailer does begin to sway,
Trailer Sway Reduce Speed appears in the information
display. Safely pull to the side of the road and check that
your equipment is properly secured.

Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may
be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in
