FAN SPEED CONTROL – Rotate the knob
to adjust the volume of air circulated in
the vehicle.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL – Rotate the
knob to adjust the temperature of the
airflow inside the vehicle.
A/C (if equipped) – Uses outside air to cool
the vehicle. Airflow will be from the instrument
panel registers. The air conditioning will
only function if the outside temperature is
about 6°C (43°F) or higher.
PANEL – Distributes outside air through
the instrument panel registers. The air will
not be cooled below the outside temperature
because the air conditioning does not operate
in this mode.
PANEL AND FLOOR – Distributes out
side
air through the instrument panel registers
and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode.
FLOOR – Distributes outside air through
the floor ducts. The air will not be cooled
below the outside temperature because the
air conditioning does not operate in this mode.
FLOOR AND DEFROST –
Distributes out-
side air through the windshield defroster ducts
and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode.
DEFROST – Distributes outside air through
the windshield defroster ducts. It can be
used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
MAX A/C (if equipped) –
Max A/C is the best
way to cool off fast because it uses recirculated
air and less power to quickly cool the vehicle.
MAX A/C is noisier than A/C, but more
economical and efficient. This mode can also
be used to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle. The air conditioning will
only function if the outside temperature is
about 6°C (43°F) or higher.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
FUEL TANK CAPACITY – Regular-cab vehicles with a short wheel base have a 17.0-gallon tank,
while regular-cab vehicles with a long wheel base have a 20.3-gallon tank. The fuel tank of SuperCab
vehicles can accommodate 19.5 gallons of gasoline. All Rangers are designed to use "Regular" unleaded
gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 for optimum performance. The use of gasoline with
lower octane ratings may degrade performance.
TIRE PRESSURE – Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the Certification Label located on the front door latch pillar on the driver’s side.
Proper tire pressure is very important for a smooth and safe ride. Please check your tire pressure during
routine maintenance and seasonal changes.
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 foot well, by the kick
panel. For complete details 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. Some spare tires are for limited service use
only. Limited service spare tires are labeled as such.
