Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important that you have
the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify any
potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company

scheduled maintenance as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps running
right.

reservoir, intercooler coolant, power steering and window washer.
• Inspect tires for wear and correct air pressure.
• Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts and foreign
materials.
• Check battery performance.
• Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard
warning lights.
• Check radiator, coolers and heater and air conditioning hoses.
• Inspect windshield washer spray and wiper operation.
• Check windshield for cracks, chips and pitting.
• Inspect for oil and fluid leaks.
