WARNINGS
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimeters.
Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled with
gasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.
If you are refueling with a different fuel
than that used previously, we recommend
that you drive the vehicle immediately after
refueling for at least 10 minutes. This is
necessary because the engine control
module needs to adapt itself to the fuel
present in the tank. This procedure is
especially important when the fuel level
gauge indicates less than half before
refueling.
If your vehicle stopped due to lack of fuel
(empty tank) you should refuel preferably
with gasoline.
Fuel Filler Cap
Your fuel tank filler cap has a regular turn
style design, with two to three turns on or
off.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap
counterclockwise two to three turns,
until it opens.
3. Hang the fuel cap tether cord on the
filler door hook.
4. After refueling, to install the cap, align
it with the filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise two to
three turns until it clicks twice.
If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
designed for your vehicle. The customer
warranty may be void for any damage to
the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct
genuine Ford fuel filler cap is not used.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note: The amount of usable fuel in the
empty reserve varies and should not be
relied upon to increase driving range. When
refueling your vehicle after the fuel gauge
indicates empty, you might not be able to
refuel the full amount of the advertised
capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.
Indicated capacity is the difference in the
amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank
when the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in the
tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Your dealer can give you advice on
improving your fuel consumption.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
• Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
• The maximum tank capacity, during
fueling, is reached when the pump is
automatically cut off for the second
time.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1600 kilometers of driving (this is your
engine’ s break-in period); a more accurate
measurement is obtained after 3200
kilometers - 4800 kilometers. Also, fuel
expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge
readings are not accurate ways to measure
fuel economy.
