FORD 2012 Fiesta v.1 - Manual (Page 304)

Reduced engine power due to high temperature
If the engine begins to overheat:
• The engine malfunction
indicator will illuminate.
• The service engine soon
indicator will illuminate.
If either lamp illuminates when the engine is running, this indicates a
fault. The engine will continue to run, but it may have limited power. If it
begins to flash when you are driving, reduce the speed of your vehicle
immediately. If it continues to flash, avoid heavy acceleration or
deceleration. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician
immediately.
If both lamps illuminate together, stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so (continued use may cause reduced power and cause the engine
to stop). Have the system checked by a properly trained technician
immediately. The vehicle must be checked before continuing to drive the
vehicle.
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.

a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the
sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death
if misused or mishandled.
