Essential Information Location of Spare Tire and Tools The spare tire is located under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. The spare tire winch drive nut is located at the rear center of the cargo area, under a lid. The jack, jack handle and lug nut wrench are located behind the rear seat under the carpeted lid in the cargo floor. The tools are contained in a bag attached to the jack. Fuses If the vehicle's electrical components are not operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse panel is located below the instrument panel on the driver's side; remove the cover to view the fuses. For more information regarding changing fuses, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner's Guide. Fuel Information Use regular unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Ford Motor Company does not recommend using regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or lower in high altitude areas. The advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank is equal to the rated refill capacity of the fuel tank as listed in the Refill capacities section of the Owner's Guide. Tire Pressure Your vehicle's tire pressure is properly set by your authorized dealer according to the recommended specifications found on the vehicle's tire label, located on the driver's door jamb. Check your tire pressure during routine maintenance and seasonal changes. If the Tire Pressure Monitoring System light stays illuminated after starting, immediately check the vehicle's tire pressures. Note: Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in a possible loss of vehicle control. Rear Window Buffeting When one or both of the rear windows are open, the vehicle may demonstrate a wind throb or buffeting noise; this noise is common among a wide range of vehicles and can be eliminated by simply lowering a front window approximately two to three inches. Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt. The switch is located in the passenger's footwell, by the kick panel. After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been activated. For more information regarding the fuel pump shut-off switch, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner's Guide. Changing the Tires The spare tire is not equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor. The TPMS warning light will illuminate when the spare tire is in use. Replace the spare tire with a road tire as soon as possible. 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. Roadside Assistance During your Mountaineer's 3-year/36,000 mile limited warranty period, the assurance and support of a 24-hour emergency roadside assistance program is included. Roadside assistance includes such services as fuel delivery, tire changes, jump starts and help when you are locked out of your vehicle.
