Ford Explorer (2022 year). Manual in english — page 12

E161513

Your vehicle is designed to operate on
regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 or
regular unleaded gasoline blended with a
maximum of 85% ethanol (E85).

Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer. See

Towing

(page 287).

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance. For
additional information, refer to
www.toptiergas.com.

Note:

Use of any fuel for which the vehicle

was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:

Diesel fuel.

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

Fuels containing more than 85%
ethanol or E100 fuel.

Fuels containing methanol.

Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
as MMT), which is a manganese-based
fuel additive, will impair engine
performance and affect the emission
control system.

Switching Between E85 and
Gasoline

We do not recommend repeatedly
alternating between E85 and gasoline. If
you switch from using E85 to gasoline, or
from gasoline to E85, add as much fuel as
possible, at least half a tank. Drive your
vehicle immediately for a minimum of 5 mi
(8 km) to allow it to adapt to the change
in ethanol concentration. If you use E85
exclusively, we recommend that you fill
the fuel tank with regular unleaded
gasoline at each scheduled oil change.

Fuel and Refueling

If your vehicle runs out of fuel:

Add a minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel
to restart the engine.

You may need to switch 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. When restarting, cranking time
takes a few seconds longer than
normal.

Note:

If your vehicle is on a steep slope,

more fuel may be required.

Filling a Portable Fuel Container

WARNING:

Flow of fuel through a

fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:

Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling it.

Do not fill a fuel container when it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).

Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container when filling it.

Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.

Adding Fuel From a Portable Fuel
Container

WARNING:

Do not insert the nozzle

of a fuel container or an aftermarket
funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may
damage the fuel system filler neck or its
seal and cause fuel to run onto the
ground.

WARNING:

Do not try to pry open

or push open the capless fuel system
with foreign objects. This could damage
the fuel system and its seal and cause
injury to you or others.

WARNING:

Do not dispose of fuel

in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.

When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from
a fuel container, use the fuel filler funnel
included with your vehicle. See

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Advertised Capacity

The advertised capacity is the maximum
amount of fuel that you can add to the fuel
tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty.
See

Capacities and Specifications

(page 385).

In addition, the fuel tank contains an empty
reserve. The empty reserve is an
unspecified amount of fuel that remains
in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty.

Note:

The amount of fuel in the empty

reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range.

Calculating Fuel Economy

Your vehicle calculates fuel economy
figures through the trip computer average
fuel function. See

Information Displays

(page 111).

The first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving is
the break-in period of the vehicle.
Resetting average fuel in your trip
computer after 2,000–3,000 mi
(3,200–4,800 km) provides a more
accurate measurement.

EMISSION LAW

WARNING:

Do not remove or alter

the original equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal floor
of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust
system heat and noise. On vehicles with
no original equipment floor covering
insulation, do not carry passengers in a
manner that permits prolonged skin
contact with the metal floor. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
fire or personal injury.

U.S. federal laws and certain state laws
prohibit removing or rendering inoperative
emission control system components.
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. We do not approve of any
vehicle modification without first
determining applicable laws.

Tampering with emissions
control systems including
related sensors or the Diesel

Exhaust Fluid system can result in reduced
engine power and the illumination of the
service engine soon light.

Tampering With a Noise Control
System

Federal laws prohibit the following acts:

Removal or rendering inoperative by
any person other than for purposes of
maintenance.

Repair or replacement of any device or
element of the design incorporated into
a new vehicle for the purpose of noise
control prior to its sale or delivery to
the ultimate purchaser or while it is in
use.

The use of the vehicle after any person
removes or renders inoperative any
device or element of the design.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
may presume to constitute tampering as
follows:

Removal of hood blanket, fender apron
absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields or acoustically
absorptive material.

Tampering or rendering inoperative the
engine speed governor, to allow engine
speed to exceed manufacturer
specifications.

If the engine does not start, runs rough,
experiences a decrease in engine
performance, experiences excess fuel
consumption or produces excessive
exhaust smoke, check for the following:

A plugged or disconnected air inlet
system hose.

A plugged engine air filter element.

Water in the fuel filter and water
separator.

A clogged fuel filter.

Contaminated fuel.

Air in the fuel system, due to loose
connections.

An open or pinched sensor hose.

Incorrect engine oil level.

195

Engine Emission Control

Incorrect fuel for climatic conditions.

Incorrect engine oil viscosity for
climactic conditions.

Note:

Some vehicles have a lifetime fuel

filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.

Note:

If these checks do not help you

correct the concern, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

Noise Emissions Warranty,
Prohibited Tampering Acts and
Maintenance

On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation
became effective governing the noise
emission on trucks over 10,000 lb
(4,536 kg) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). The preceding statements
concerning prohibited tampering acts and
maintenance, and the noise warranty
found in the Warranty Guide, are
applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lb (4,536 kg) GVWR.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING:

The normal operating

temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

Your vehicle has various emission control
components and a catalytic converter that
enables it to comply with applicable
exhaust emission standards.

To make sure that the catalytic converter
and other emission control components
continue to work properly:

Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.

Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.

Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See

Jump

Starting the Vehicle

(page 297).

Use only the specified fuel listed.

Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.

Avoid running out of fuel.

Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.

Note:

Resulting component damage may

not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.

The scheduled maintenance items listed
in scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle and to its emissions system.

If you use anything other than Ford,
Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for
maintenance replacements or for service
of components affecting emission control,
such non-Ford parts should be equivalent
to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in
performance and durability.

196

Engine Emission Control

Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning light or
the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,
strange odors, smoke or loss of engine
power could indicate that the emission
control system is not working properly.

An improperly operating or damaged
exhaust system may allow exhaust to
enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
improperly operating exhaust system
inspected and repaired immediately.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to
your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle
owners and anyone who manufactures,
repairs, services, sells, leases, trades
vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles
are not permitted to intentionally remove
an emission control device or prevent it
from working. Information about your
vehicle’s emission system is on the Vehicle
Emission Control Information Decal
located on or near the engine. This decal
also lists engine displacement.

Please consult your warranty information
for complete details.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)

Your vehicle has a computer known as the
on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that
monitors the engine’s emission control
system. The system protects the
environment by making sure that your
vehicle continues to meet government
emission standards. The OBD-II system
also assists a service technician in properly
servicing your vehicle.

When the service engine soon
indicator illuminates, the OBD-II
system has detected a

malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may
cause the service engine soon indicator to
illuminate. Examples are:

1.

Your vehicle has run out of fuel—the
engine may misfire or run poorly.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the

fuel—the engine may misfire or run
poorly.

3. The fuel fill inlet may not have closed

properly. See

Refueling

(page 188).

4. Driving through deep water—the

electrical system may be wet.

You can correct these temporary
malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with
good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel
fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry
out. After three driving cycles without these
or any other temporary malfunctions
present, the service engine soon indicator
should stay off the next time you start the
engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed city and
highway driving. No additional vehicle
service is required.

If the service engine soon indicator remains
on, have your vehicle serviced at the first
available opportunity. Although some
malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may
not have symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with the service engine
soon indicator on can result in increased
emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced
engine and transmission smoothness and
lead to more costly repairs.

Readiness for Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) Testing

Some state and provincial and local
governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs
to inspect the emission control equipment
on your vehicle. Failure to pass this
inspection could prevent you from getting
a vehicle registration.

If the service engine soon
indicator is on or the bulb does
not work, your vehicle may need

service. See On-Board Diagnostics.

197

Engine Emission Control

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if
the service engine soon indicator is on or
not working properly (bulb is burned out),
or if the OBD-II system has determined
that some of the emission control systems
have not been properly checked. In this
case, the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing.

If the vehicle’s engine or transmission has
just been serviced, or the battery has
recently run down or been replaced, the
OBD-II system may indicate that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. To
determine if the vehicle is ready for I/M
testing, turn the ignition key to the on
position for 15 seconds without cranking
the engine. If the service engine soon
indicator blinks eight times, it means that
the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing; if
the service engine soon indicator stays on
solid, it means that your vehicle is ready
for I/M testing.

The OBD-II system checks the emission
control system during normal driving. A
complete check may take several days.

If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing,
you can perform the following driving cycle
consisting of mixed city and highway
driving:

1.

15 minutes of steady driving on an
expressway or highway followed by 20
minutes of stop-and-go driving with at
least four 30-second idle periods.

2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least

eight hours with the ignition off. Then,
start the vehicle and complete the
above driving cycle. The vehicle must
warm up to its normal operating
temperature. Once started, do not turn
off the vehicle until the above driving
cycle is complete.

If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M
testing, you need to repeat the above
driving cycle.

With the transmission in park (P), your
vehicle locks the transmission and
prevents the wheels from turning. Always
come to a complete stop before putting
your vehicle into and out of park (P).

When you switch the ignition off, your
vehicle shifts into park (P). If you switch
the ignition off while your vehicle is moving,
the transmission first shifts into neutral (N)
until it reaches a speed less than 3 mph
(5 km/h) and then shifts into park (P).
