QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

EASY FUEL™ ‘NO CAP’ FUEL SYSTEM

Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows

you to simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle

and start fueling. Wait five seconds from the time the

refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle is pulled

back out of the fill pipe to allow residual fuel in the

nozzle to drain into the tank. The Easy Fuel™ system is

self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt,

water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your fuel tank

with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which

is located under the second row driver side seat, near

the spare tire tool box. Slowly insert the funnel into the

Easy Fuel™ system and fill the tank with fuel from the

container. When done, clean the funnel or properly

dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your

authorized dealer.

Do not

use aftermarket funnels as

they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may

cause damage.

FUEL TYPE/TANK CAPACITY/FLEX FUEL

Your vehicle is equipped with either a 26 gallon

(98.4L) or a 36 gallon (136.2L) fuel tank. You may

have a

Flex Fuel

Vehicle. Flex fuel vehicles have a

yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube)

and can use either regular unleaded fuel, E85 ethanol

fuel or any mixture of the two. If you do not have a flex

fuel vehicle, then only use “Regular” unleaded gasoline

with an octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels,

because your vehicle was not designed to run on

fuels with more than 10% ethanol.

TIRE PRESSURE

Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership

according to the recommended specifications found on

the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label

located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.

Check your tire pressure at least once a month and

before long trips (including the spare). As an added

safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with

a

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

that

illuminates a low tire pressure warning light

when

one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your

Owner’s Guide for more information.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Your new Ford F-150 comes with the assurance and

support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.

Roadside assistance includes such services as:

lockout assistance, limited fuel delivery, battery jump

starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out. To

receive roadside assistance in the United States, call

1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006.

LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE

A temporary spare tire is located under the vehicle,

just forward of the rear bumper. The temporary spare

is designed for emergency use only and should be

replaced as soon as possible. The jack and tools are

either attached to a floor bracket behind the driver’s

seat, attached to a floor bracket under the rear seat on

the driver’s side or in a plastic box in the floor under the

rear seat. For complete details on how to change your

tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter in your

Owner’s Guide.

SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

Your vehicle is equipped with the SOS Post-Crash

Alert™ system. This system provides audible and

visual alarms in the event of a crash which causes the

deployment of airbags or the activation of the safety

belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the

horn will sound. To deactivate the system, press the

hazard flasher control, or the

button on your

remote transmitter.

IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY WHILE

COASTING OR DECELERATING

Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel

economy by reducing fuel usage during coasting or

while decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to

medium braking sensation when removing your foot

from the accelerator pedal.
