FORD 2014 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 156)

The manual override lever is located inside
of the trunk on the left rear-side panel.
When using the fuel door manual override
to access the fuel fill inlet:
1. Switch the ignition on prior using a
manual override.
E156033
2. Pull the manual override mechanism
located in trunk.
3. Switch off and complete refueling
within 20 minutes. If more than 20
minutes is required, close fuel door, and
repeat the procedure.
This will enable you to refuel without any
issue.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if
overfilling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the
tank to the point that the fuel is able to
bypass the fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled
fuel may run down the drain located below
and in front of the fuel filler door.
If you do not properly close the fuel fill
inlet, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may
appear on the instrument cluster. At the
next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in position P and switch
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove
any visible debris from the fuel fill
opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill
funnel provided with your vehicle
several times to allow the inlet to close
properly. This will dislodge any debris
preventing the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It
may take several driving cycles for the
message to turn off. A driving cycle
consists of an engine start-up (after four
or more hours with the engine off) followed
by city/highway driving. Continuing to drive
with the message on may cause the service
engine soon lamp to turn on as well.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
vehicle components.
If you have run out of fuel:
• To start the vehicle with a keyless
ignition, just start the engine. Crank
time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of
fuel is enough to restart the vehicle. If
the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)
may be required.
• The service engine soon indicator may
come on.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container (Except Energi
Vehicles)
WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the capless fuel system.
This could damage the fuel system and its
seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the
ground instead of filling the tank, which
could result in serious personal injury.
