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. Remove fuel filler cap

slowly. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and injure you or others.

If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive vacuum in

the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap

to disengage in a collision, which may result in possible personal injury.

Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law

and could damage your vehicle.

Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel or fuel additives with metallic

compounds, including manganese-based additives. Studies indicate that

these additives can cause your vehicle’s emission control system to

deteriorate more rapidly. In Canada, premium grade fuel generally

contains more metallic additives than regular fuel. We recommend using

regular grade fuel. In Canada, many fuels contain metallic additives, but

fuels free of such additives may be available; check with your local fuel

dealer.

Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel system

components.

Repairs to correct the effects of using a fuel for which your vehicle was

not designed may not be covered by your warranty.

Octane recommendations

Your vehicle is designed to use

“Regular” unleaded gasoline with

pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.

We do not recommend the use of

gasolines labeled as “Regular” that

are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in high altitude areas.

Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if

it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel

with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified

service technician to prevent any engine damage.
