FFV engine (if equipped)

Your FFV will operate well on ordinary “Regular” unleaded gasoline, but

only the highest quality fuel ethanol will provide the same level of

protection and performance. To identify if your vehicle is an FFV, check

your VIN or the label on the inside of your fuel filler door. When

checking the VIN, look for the engine type identifier (8th character). If

your vehicle is an FFV, then the character will be labeled as a “K.”

Standards for fuel ethanol have been developed to provide FFVs the best

possible performance, safety and durability. To assist alcohol fuel

providers in meeting these standards, guidelines have also been

developed which prescribe “Ethanol Fuel Compatible” dispensing station

equipment. These standards and guidelines can be obtained from Ford

Motor Company. Fuel stations may apply to be certified as meeting these

standards. However, not all stations meet these standards at this time. To

ensure proper operation of your FFV on fuel ethanol, refuel at certified

stations.

If you are experiencing a rough or rolling idle after start-up with the

outside temperature above 27° C (80° F), the idle should improve within

10 to 30 seconds. If the problems persist below this temperature, see

your dealer or a qualified service technician.

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 “Check Engine” indicator may come on. For more information on

the “Check Engine” indicator, refer to the Instrumentation chapter.
