Cleaner air

Ford endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

affect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

• You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after

refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to

the engine.

• Your “Service Engine Soon” indicator may come on. For more

information on the “Service Engine Soon” indicator, refer to the

Instrumentation chapter.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/8 turn on/off

feature.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn until it stops.

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 1/8 of a turn until it stops.

If the “Service Engine Soon/Check Engine” indicator comes on and stays

on after you start the engine, the fuel filler cap may not be properly

installed. Turn off the engine, remove the fuel filler cap, align the cap

properly and reinstall it.

If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler

cap that is 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 or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
