Fuel quality

If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability

problems during a cold start, try a different brand of “Regular” unleaded

gasoline. “Premium” unleaded gasoline is not recommended (particularly

in the United States) because it may cause these problems to become

more pronounced. If the problems persist, see your dealer or a qualified

service technician.

It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating. Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your

fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Many of the world’s automakers

issued the World-wide Fuel Charter

that recommends gasoline

specifications to provide improved

performance and emission control

system protection for your vehicle.

Gasolines that meet the World-wide

Fuel Charter should be used when

available. Ask your fuel supplier

about gasolines that meet the

World-wide Fuel Charter. In Canada,

look for fuels that display the Auto

Makers’ Choice娂 logo.

Cleaner air

Ford endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

affect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

• You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after

refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to

the engine.

• Your “Service Engine Soon” indicator may come on. For more

information on the “Service Engine Soon” indicator, refer to the

Instrument cluster chapter.
