Fuel filler cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/4 turn on/off
feature.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Unlock the fuel filler door.

3. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.

4. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.

5. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the
filler pipe.

6. Tighten the filler cap clockwise until the cap clicks.

7. Lock the fuel filler door.

If the check fuel cap light

comes on, the fuel filler cap may not be

properly installed. The light can come on after several driving events
after you’ve refueled your vehicle.

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, Motorcraft

or other certified fuel filler

cap is not used.

WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait

until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
