Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when

filling 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

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. Reinstall the cap on the filler pipe and turn it clockwise until at least

one click is heard.

If the check fuel cap light

or a “check fuel cap” message comes on,

the fuel filler cap may not be properly installed. The light or message can

come on after several driving events after you’ve refueled your vehicle.

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

light

or “check fuel cap” message may not reset immediately; it may

take several driving cycles for the check fuel cap light

or “check fuel

cap” message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up

(after four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city and

highway driving.

Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap light

or “check fuel cap”

message on may cause the

light to turn on as well.

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, Motorcraft or other certified fuel filler cap

is not used.
