Tire Pressure

– Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended

specifications found on the Tire Pressure Label located on the driver’s door jamb. Please check your

tire pressure during routine maintenance and seasonal changes.

Fuel Tank Capacity

– Explorer Sport Trac has a 22.5-gallon tank. Your vehicle is designed to use

“Flex” fuel and “Regular” unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 for optimum

performance. The use of gasoline with lower octane ratings may degrade performance.

Fuses

– If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. For more

information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.

Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch

– After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump

shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the passenger’s footwell, by the kick panel.

For more information on resetting your fuel pump shut-off switch, please consult your Owner’s Guide.

Changing the Tires

– If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead,

gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the

side of the road. Your vehicle is equipped with a spare tire that can also be used as a regular tire. For

more information on your spare tire, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
