At the next opportunity, safely pull off of the road, remove the fuel filler

cap, align the cap properly and reinstall it. The check fuel cap

light or “check fuel cap” message may not reset immediately; it may

take several driving cycles for the check fuel cap light or “check fuel

cap” message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up

(after four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city and

highway driving.

Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap light or “check fuel cap”

message on may cause the light to turn on as well.

If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler

cap that is designed for your vehicle. The customer warranty may

be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the

correct genuine Ford, Motorcraft or other certified fuel filler cap

is not used.
