LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle comes with a spare tire under the vehicle, just forward of the
rear bumper. Use it for emergency use only, and be sure to replace it as
soon as possible.
The jack and tools are attached behind the rear seat on the
passenger side.
For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the
Wheels and
Tires
chapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
TOWING YOUR F-150 ON FOUR WHEELS
In an emergency, you can flat-tow your vehicle on four wheels under the
following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
•
You place the transmission in neutral (N).
•
You do not exceed a maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h).
•
You do not travel beyond a maximum distance of 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
Note:
For other towing features including neutral tow and recreational
towing, see your Owner’s Manual for details.
REFUELING
Open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. Wait at least
10 seconds after pumping the fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
To refuel using a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel. The fuel
funnel is attached under the rear seat on the passenger side, near the
spare tire tool bag.
Slowly insert the funnel into the system and fill the tank with fuel from the
container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You can
purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer.
Note:
Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the system
and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL TYPE
You fuel tank capacity depends on your cab style. For Regular Cab
and SuperCab your fuel tank capacity is 23 gallons (87.1 liters).
For a SuperCrew Cab, your fuel tank capacity is 26 gallons (98.4 liters).
The optional fuel tank can hold 36 gallons (136.3 liters).
For gasoline vehicles, use only UNLEADED fuel with a minimum octane
rating of 87. Do not use fuel containing more than 15% ethanol, E85 fuel,
diesel fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could
damage or impair the emission control system.
To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe
duty usage, such as when driving off road or towing a trailer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle comes with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
displays a low tire pressure warning light
when one or more of your
tires are under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon
as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the
Wheels and Tires
chapter in your
Owner’s Manual
for
more information.
