an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place approved fuel container on the
ground.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
the vehicle (including the cargo area).
• 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 you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not
refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, which could cause
serious personal injury. WARNING:
If you do not use the
correct 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. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
The fuel tank has a threaded fuel filler cap.
Note: If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
designed for your vehicle. The vehicle
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.
When refueling the vehicle fuel tank do the
following. 1. When your vehicle has stopped, shift
into neutral (N) or park (P).
2. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
3. Turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise and remove it.
4. Refuel your vehicle as required.
5. Replace the fuel filler cap, turn it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster,
you may not have installed the fuel filler
cap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,
at the next opportunity, safely pull off of
the road, remove the fuel filler cap, align
the cap properly and reinstall it. The check
fuel cap warning lamp or warning message
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.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximum
amount of fuel that you can add to the fuel
tank after running out of fuel. Included in
the advertised capacity is an empty
reserve. The empty reserve is an
unspecified amount of fuel that remains
in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty.
Note: The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range.

To prevent the engine from running at too
low an RPM, which could cause it to stall,
SelectShift still makes some downshifts
if it has determined that you have not
downshifted in time. Although SelectShift
makes some downshifts for you, it still
allows you to downshift at any time if the
SelectShift determines there is no damage
to the engine from over-revving.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. Shift manually by pressing the +
button.
Note:
Engine damage could occur if you rev
the engine excessively and hold it without
shifting.
Progressive Range Selection - PRS
(If Equipped)

shifts, or both. This is normal and does not
affect the function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process fully updates transmission
operation.
Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working. WARNING:
When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Your vehicle has a feature that prevents
the gearshift lever from moving from park
(P) when you switch the ignition on but
you are not pressing on the brake pedal.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out
of the park (P) position with the ignition in
the on position and the brake pedal
