ESSENTIAL FEATURES FUEL TANK CAPACITY/ FUEL INFO Your vehicle has a 25.1 gallon (95L) fuel tank capacity. Depending on your vehicle, your fuel requirements vary based on engine configuration. Refer to the Capacities and Specifications section in your Owner's Manual for more details. Flex fuel vehicles have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube) and can use either regular unleaded fuel or E85 ethanol fuel. 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 5 gallons (18.9 liters) 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. DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS* Ford recommends that you use only the diesel fuels that meet either the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications. Outside of North America, use fuels meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard. Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for colder temperatures. For best results at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel that has been seasonally adjusted for the weather. LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS Your tools are located behind a cover in the sidewall of the front passenger step. Your spare is located under the vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual. DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM* The system helps reduce carbon emissions, and requires the completion of periodic drives to clean it. The information display will prompt you to complete an operator commanded regeneration procedure. Failure to comply with the required cleaning procedure maintenance can result in damage to the diesel particulate filter system that may not be covered under your warranty. See your Diesel Supplement for more information. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Your new Ford vehicle comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance. To receive roadside assistance in the United States, call 1-800-241-3673. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning light in your information display when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, then inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's Manual for more information. DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL* To help reduce emission levels from the exhaust of the diesel engine, your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction system that relies upon diesel exhaust fluid to operate properly. The selective catalytic reduction system automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to enable proper selective catalytic reduction system function. Make sure that you check your vehicle's diesel exhaust fluid level during the oil change service interval, but certain conditions or driving styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates of acceleration, will require the refilling of the diesel exhaust fluid tank more often. See the scheduled maintenance information in your Diesel Supplement for more information. *if equipped 14 15
