ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Easy Fuel® System Fuel Type/Tank Capacity/Flex Fuel The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. To refuel, open the fuel filler door by pulling the indent on the door, insert the fuel plug key* into the locking plug and turn it counterclockwise to unlock it, insert the nozzle and start fueling. Wait 5-10 seconds after pumping the fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank. Reinstall the fuel plug* into the fuel fill inlet and turn the key clockwise to lock. To refuel using a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel, located under the second-row driver side seat near the spare tire tool box in SuperCab and SuperCrew® vehicles, or behind the driver seat in Regular cab vehicles. 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. You can purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer. Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of either 26 gallons (106L) or 36 gallons (136.2L). 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. It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible, at least half a tank. Do not add less than five gallons (18.9L) when refueling. You should drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you exclusively use E85 fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change. 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 15% ethanol. Fuel-efficient Transmission Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the accelerator pedal. Towing Your F-150 on Four Wheels In an emergency situation, your vehicle can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration) under the following conditions: • Your vehicle is facing forward for towing. • Place the transmission in N (Neutral). • Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h). • Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers). Note: For other towing features including neutral tow and recreational towing, see your Owner's Manual for details. Tire Pressure Monitoring System 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. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information. Location of Spare Tire and Tools Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary or full-size spare tire (depending on your vehicle) located under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. Regardless of which type of spare your vehicle comes with, it is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. In Regular and SuperCab models, the jack and tools are located under the rear seat on the driver's side. In SuperCrew models, they are located 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 Manual.
