 If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead, 

gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place 

on the side of the road. Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire located under the 

vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper. The temporary spare is designed for emergency use only 

and should be replaced as soon as possible. The jack and tools are located under the carpeted 

floor panel in the rear cargo area. For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the 

Roadside Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

 If the vehicle’s electrical components are not operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse 

panel is located below the instrument panel on the driver’s side. For more information regarding 

changing fuses, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner’s Guide.

Your fuel tank capacity is 22.5 gallons (85.2L). Your vehicle is 

designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. Do not use gasoline 

labeled as “Regular” in high altitude areas that are sold with octane ratings less than 87. Do 

not use E85 fuels, as your vehicle was not designed to run on E85 fuels that are blended with a 

maximum of 85% ethanol.

 Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended 

specifications found on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label located on the on 

the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and 

before long trips (including spare). As an added safety feature, your vehicle may be equipped 

with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light  

 when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Improperly inflated tires can 

affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. Refer to 

the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide for more information.  

 The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the 

electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt. The switch is located 

in the passenger’s footwell, by the kick panel. After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not 

start, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been activated. For more information regarding 

the fuel pump shut-off switch, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner’s Guide.

 Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows you to 

simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. The Easy Fuel™ System is 

self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. If you need to fill 

your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is either attached to the 

underside of the spare tire cover or with the tire changing tools. Slowly insert the funnel into the 

Easy Fuel™ system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. When done, clean the funnel 

or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use 

aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may cause damage.

 Your new Ford Explorer comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour 

emergency roadside assistance. Roadside assistance includes such services as: lockout assistance, 

limited fuel delivery, battery jump starts, changing a flat tire, towing, and winch out. To receive 

roadside assistance in the United States, call 1 (800) 241-3673. In Canada, call 1 (800) 665-2006.  

For more information on coverage period and details of service, refer to your roadside  

assistance information.

 Your vehicle is equipped with the S.O.S. Post Crash Alert system. 

This system provides audible and visual alarms in the event of a crash which causes the deployment 

of airbags or the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the 

horn will sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control, or you can press 

 

on your remote transmitter.
