•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could
lead to permanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is
splashed on the skin or clothing, promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
•
Be particularly careful if you are taking Antabuse or other forms of
disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors, or
skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive individuals,
serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is splashed on the
skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Consult a
physician immediately if you experience an adverse reaction.
FUEL QUALITY
Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause powertrain
damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not be covered
under warranty.
Choosing the Right Fuel (Gasoline Engines)
Use only UNLEADED gasoline or UNLEADED gasoline blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol in your gasoline vehicle. If your vehicle is a Flex
Fuel Vehicle (FFV), it will have a yellow bezel placed over the fuel fill inlet.
Do not use:
•Fuels containing more than 15% ethanol or E-85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic based additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
•Fuels containing the octane booster additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded-fuel (The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law).
Note:Use of any fuel other than recommended fuel can cause
powertrain damage, impair the emission control system or cause loss of
vehicle performance. Any damage to vehicle that is caused by use of fuel
not recommended will not be covered under warranty.

Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationfor scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not
consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the
transmission is not working properly, (i.e., if the transmission slips or
shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal
operating range; there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from your authorized dealer
immediately.
Note:Police pursuits, involving hard braking, result in high temperatures
in the brake system - including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated
exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially
reducing its boiling point. A lower boiling point could cause long brake
pedal travel and a loss of braking confidence during subsequent pursuit
driving. Ford recommends that police fleets replace the brake fluid at
every brake pad service interval according to the service procedure.
Brake fluid should be replaced on vehicles involved in high speed
pursuits with heavy brake usage.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. For additional information on
the electric power steering (EPS) system, Refer toDriving Aids.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with
the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
WARNING:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below
40°F (5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure
to use washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could
result in impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or
accident.

5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. Motor oils of the recommended viscosity grade that meet API SN requirements
and display the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines are also acceptable. Do not use oil
labeled with API SN service category unless the label also displays the API certification mark.6An oil that displays the API Certification Mark symbol conforms to current engine, emission
system and fuel economy performance standards of the International Lubricant Standardization
and Approval Committee (ILSAC).7Do not use supplemental engine oil additives. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine
damage that is not covered by your Ford warranty.8Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.9See warning below:
WARNING:The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R134a under high
pressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury. Only
qualified personnel should service the air conditioning refrigerant system.
