FUEL QUALITY

Note: We recommend that you use only

high quality fuel without additives or other

engine treatments.

Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline with

additives containing other metallic

compounds (e.g. manganese-based). They

could damage the emission system.

Choosing the Right Fuel

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.

If your vehicle is not a flexible fuel vehicle,

then only use unleaded fuel or unleaded

fuel blended with a maximum of 15%

ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85),

diesel fuel, fuel methanol, leaded fuel or

any other fuel because it could damage or

impair the emission control system.

The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law.

Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel

or fuel additives with metallic compounds,

including manganese-based additives.

Octane Recommendations

Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump

(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is

recommended. Some fuel 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.

Note: Premium fuel will provide improved

performance for vehicles with EcoBoost®

engines and is recommended for severe duty

use 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.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel because this

situation may have an adverse effect 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. On

restarting, cranking time will take a few

seconds longer than normal. With

keyless ignition, just start the engine.

Crank time will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of

fuel is enough to restart the engine. If

the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep

grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)

may be required.

• The service engine soon indicator may

come on. For more information on the

service engine soon indicator, See

Warning Lamps and Indicators

(page 82).

Refilling With a Portable Fuel

Container

WARNINGS

Do not insert the nozzle of portable

fuel containers or aftermarket

funnels into the capless fuel system.

This could damage the fuel system and its

seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the

ground instead of filling the tank, which

could result in serious personal injury.
