Filling the fuel tank
1. Turn the engine off. After
opening the fuel door, remove the
cap carefully and slowly by turning
it counterclockwise ¼ turn until it
stops. Pull to remove the cap. A
tether attaches the cap to the fuel
filler pipe.
2. Make sure that you pump
unleaded fuel and put the fuel
nozzle inside the fuel filler pipe.
• To optimize fill, it may be necessary to reposition the nozzle in the
filler pipe.
• To help reduce early nozzle shut off and fuel spillage, park your
vehicle so the fuel filler door is level.
• Avoid excessively fast fuel dispensing rates (over 38 L [10 gallons] per
minute).
• If you spill fuel on the body of your vehicle, clean it off immediately.
The fuel may dull or soften the paint if it is not washed off promptly.
• To replace the fuel cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on
the fuel filler pipe. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
• Push the fuel door closed.
If the check engine warning light illuminates and remains illuminated
while the engine is started, the fuel cap may not be properly seated.
Turn off the engine, remove the fuel cap and replace it, being sure to
align the cap properly.
If the cap is lost, replace it with an authorized Motorcraft or equivalent
part.
Calculating fuel economy
To accurately calculate your vehicle’s fuel economy:
1. Fill the tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added (in liters
or gallons).
