WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear

a hissing sound near the fuel filler door (Easy Fuel威 “no cap”

fuel system), do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may

spray out, which could cause serious personal injury.

Choosing the right fuel

Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum

of 10% ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85), diesel, methanol, leaded

fuel or any other 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.

Note: Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause

powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not

be covered under warranty.

Octane recommendations

3.5L V6 engine

“Regular” unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is

recommended. Some stations offer fuels posted as “Regular” with an

octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with

octane levels below 87 are not recommended.

2.0L V6 EcoBoost™ engine

“Regular” unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is

recommended. Some stations offer fuels posted as “Regular” with an

octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with

octane levels below 87 are not recommended. Premium fuel will provide

improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage such

as trailer tow.

Do not be concerned if your engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However,

if it knocks heavily while you are

using fuel with the recommended

octane rating, see your authorized

dealer to prevent any engine damage.
