Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon (46.9L) fuel tank capacity.
Your vehicle may be flex-fuel capable. If so, it will have
a yellow ring around the fuel inlet. Flex fuel vehicles
are designed to use ETHANOL (E85) fuel blends and
UNLEADED FUEL. Please see your Owner’s Manual for
specific refueling instructions when using E85.
Non-flex fuel vehicles use only UNLEADED fuel with an
octane rating of 87. Do not use fuel
E20 - E85 ethanol (E85),
diesel fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Easy Fuel® Sy s t e m
To Use
• Put your vehicle into P (Park) and turn the ignition off.
• Open the fuel-filler door.
• Insert the nozzle.
• Begin fueling.
• Wait 10 seconds between
the time the refueling nozzle
is shut off until you remove
the nozzle from the vehicle
to allow residual fuel in the
nozzle to drain into
the tank.
• When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the
fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment)
and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly
clean the funnel after each use.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your
tires is significantly underinflated. 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.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the carpeted
floor panel in the rear of your 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 section in the
Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Powershift Six-speed Automatic Transmission*

This transmission is designed for
fun-to-drive performance and
exceptional fuel efficiency, by using the
advantages of a manual transmission
with the convenience of an automatic
transmission. You may notice the
following characteristics of
this technology:
• Mechanical noises after the engine is turned off, after
the driver door is opened and during some transmission
shifting events. These are normal and do not
cause damage.
• Firm gearshifts when moving the accelerator pedal
back and forth quickly.
Your transmission continuously makes electronic
adjustments to optimize shift quality and acceleration
performance. Most adjustments will be made during the
first 1,000 miles (1610 kilometers) of operation. During
this break-in period, slight vibrations may be felt when
accelerating the vehicle from low speeds.

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