QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Easy FuEl™ ‘no cap’ Fu El systE m
Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows
you to simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle
and start fueling. The Easy Fuel™ System is self-sealing
and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow
and ice. If you need to fill your fuel tank with a portable
fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is located
behind the second row driver seat, near the spare tire
tool box. 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.
Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized
dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will
not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may
cause damage.
Fu El typE / t ank capacity / FlE x FuEl
Your vehicle is equipped with either a 26 gallon
(98.4L) or a 36 gallon (136.2L) fuel tank. 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. 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 10% ethanol.
tir E pr Essur E
Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership
according to the recommended specifications found on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label
located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door.
Check your tire pressure at least once a month and
before long trips (including the spare). As an added
safety feature, 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.
Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter
in your Owner’s Guide for more information. r

Your new Ford F-150 comes with the assurance and
support of 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.

lockout assistance, limited fuel delivery, battery jump
starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out. To
receive roadside assistance in the United States, call
1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006.

l ocation oF spar E tirE
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. Your vehicle is
equipped with a temporary spare tire located under the
vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. The temporary
spare is designed for emergency use only and should
be replaced as soon as possible. The jack and tools are
