Ford Expedition (2018 year). Manual — part 25

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle
should stay in the normal operating range
(between L and H). If the needle falls
below the normal range, stop your vehicle,
turn off the engine and check the engine
oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
correct, have your vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or
hot.

Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and
let the engine cool.

Fuel Gauge

Note:

The fuel gauge may vary slightly

when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to
the fuel pump symbol indicates on which
side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.

The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.

After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:

•

It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.

•

The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.

•

If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty value reaches 50 mi
(80 km) to empty, with additional
warnings at 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) to empty, provided the
message is cleared each time. An
additional warning at 75 mi (120 km) to
empty is provided when the MyKey is being
used.

Variations:

Note:

The distance-to-empty warning can appear at different fuel gauge positions depending

on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

Fuel gauge position

Distance-to-empty

Driving type (fuel economy

conditions)

1/8th tank

50 mi (80 km)

Highway driving

1/4 tank

50 mi (80 km)

Severe duty driving (trailer

towing, extended idle)

Transmission Fluid Temperature
Gauge

Indicates transmission fluid temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds
the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon
as safely possible and verify the airflow is
not restricted such as snow or debris
blocking airflow through the grill. Also,
higher than normal operating temperature
can be caused by special operation
conditions (i.e. snowplowing, towing or
off-road use). See Special Operating
Conditions Scheduled Maintenance
(page 495). Operating the transmission for
extended periods with the gauge in the
higher than normal area may cause
internal transmission damage. You need
to alter the severity of your driving
conditions to lower the transmission
temperature into the normal range. If the
gauge continues to show high
temperatures, see an authorized dealer.

Turbo Boost Gauge

(If Equipped)

Indicates the amount of manifold air
pressure in the engine.
