Page 207 Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 208 2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to a service facility. 3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool. 4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 209 Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled. Gasoline may contain benzene, which is a cancer-causing agent. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 210 Care should be taken to avoid inhaling excess fumes. The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an ungrounded fuel container. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 211 Turn off the engine, remove the fuel filler cap, align the cap properly and reinstall it. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 212 The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used. The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap.
Page 213 Ask your fuel supplier about gasolines that meet the World-wide Fuel Charter. Cleaner air Ford endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to improve air quality. Running out of fuel Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse affect on powertrain components.
Page 214 • Use a known quality gasoline, preferably a national brand. • Use the same side of the same pump and have the vehicle facing the same direction each time you fill up. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 215 • Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy. • Slow down gradually. • Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 55 mph [88 km/h] uses 15% less fuel than traveling at 65 mph [105 km/h]). 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 216 • Driving on flat terrain offers improved fuel economy as compared to driving on hilly terrain. • Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top cruise gear and with steady pressure on the gas pedal. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 217 If other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts are used 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.
Page 218 Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an I/M test of the on-board diagnostics system. If your Check engine/Service engine 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

The transmission fluid should be in this range if at normal operating temperature (150°F-170°F [66°C-77°C]). 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 222 Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components. 2005 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 223 When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter element listed. Refer to Motorcraft part numbers in this chapter.
