Temperature Control

knob to adjust the temperature of
the air flow inside the vehicle.

Fan Speed Control

– Rotate the knob

to adjust the volume of air circulated
in the vehicle.

A/C

– Uses outside air to cool the

vehicle. Air flow will be from the
instrument panel vents only. The air
conditioning will only function if the
outside temperature is about 6°C
(43°F) or higher.

Max A/C

– Uses recirculated air to

quickly cool the vehicle. Air flow will
be from the instrument panel vents
only. MAX A/C is noisier than A/C, but
more economical and efficient.
This mode can also be used to help
prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle. The air

Operating Tips:

Under normal weather conditions, do not
leave the air flow selector in the MAX A/C

Tire Pressure

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

specifications found on the Tire Pressure Label located on the driver’s door jamb. Please check your
tire pressure during routine maintenance and seasonal changes.

Fuel Tank Capacity

– Explorer Sport Trac has a 22.5-gallon tank. Your vehicle is designed to use

“Flex” fuel and “Regular” unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 for optimum
performance. The use of gasoline with lower octane ratings may degrade performance.

Fuses

– If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. For more

information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.

Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch

– After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump

shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the passenger’s footwell, by the kick panel.
For more information on resetting your fuel pump shut-off switch, please consult your Owner’s Guide.

Changing the Tires

– 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 spare tire that can also be used as a regular tire. For
more information on your spare tire, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
