Maintenance and Specifications
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.
UnleadedGasolineengines
If you are  experiencing starting, rough  idle or hesitation driveability
problems during a  cold start, try  a different brand ofRegular”    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.
FFVengine(ifequipped)
Your FFV will  operate well on  ordinaryRegular”  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 aK.
If you operate  your vehicle 50%  or more of the  time on ethanol,  you
should follow a  different maintenance schedule.  See theScheduled
MaintenanceGuide  for  more information.
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 reformulatedcleaner-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.
The
indicator may come  on. For more  information on the
