GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to
help maintain its roadworthiness and
resale value. There is a large network of
Ford Authorised Repairers that are there
to help you with their professional
servicing expertise. We believe that their
specially trained technicians are best
qualified to service your vehicle properly
and expertly. They are supported by a
wide range of highly specialised tools
developed specifically for servicing your
vehicle.
In addition to regular servicing, we
recommend that you carry out the
following additional checks.
WARNINGS
Switch the ignition off before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Do not touch the electronic ignition
system parts after you have
switched the ignition on or when the
engine is running. The system operates
at high voltage. Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan. Under
certain conditions, the fan may
continue to run for several minutes after
you have switched the engine off. CAUTION
When carrying out maintenance
checks, make sure that filler caps are
fitted securely.

B ENGINE OIL CHECK CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine. Note:The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after approximately 5 000 kilometres (3 000miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks. Note:
Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is on
level ground.
Note:Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAXmark.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean, lint free cloth. Replace the dipstick
and remove it again to check the oil level.
If the level is at the MINmark, top up
immediately.

MaintenanceE95542BA E95543BA
•
Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tyre.
• Leave the engine running while the kit
is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for
example, inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the
compressor on with the engine turned
off.
• Replace the sealant bottle with a new
one before the expiry date (see top
of bottle) is reached.
• Inform all other users of the vehicle
that the tyre has been temporarily
sealed with the tyre repair kit and
make them aware of the special
driving conditions to be observed.
Inflating the tyre WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyre prior
to inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tyre. Do not stand directly beside the tyre
while the compressor is pumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If any
cracks, bumps or similar damage
appear, turn off the compressor and
let the air out by means of the pressure
relief valve B. Do not continue driving with
this tyre. WARNINGS
The sealant contains natural rubber
latex. Avoid contact with skin and
clothing. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with plenty of
water and contact your doctor. If the tyre inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within seven
minutes, the tyre may have suffered
excessive damage, making a temporary
repair impossible. In this case, do not
continue driving with this tyre. CAUTION
Screwing the bottle onto the bottle
holder will pierce the seal of the
bottle. Do not unscrew the bottle
from the holder as the sealant will escape. 162
