• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while

filling.

• DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill

position.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your vehicle is equipped with a 1/4 turn fuel filler cap, which requires
the handle to be rotated 1/4 of a turn for removal or installation.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Carefully turn the fuel filler cap counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn until it
releases from the fuel filler pipe.

3. Carefully hang the cap from the tether.

4. To install the cap, place the cap into the filler pipe and rotate until
you hear at least one click.

If the

or the

indicator comes on and stays on when you start

the engine, the fuel filler cap may not be properly installed. Turn off the
engine, remove the the fuel filler cap and reinstall. When the fuel filler
cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of
normal driving. It may take a long period of time for the system to
detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap.

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 or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.

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.
