removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high intensity
light located at the top of the right
hand portion of the beam pattern.
If the top edge of the high intensity
light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, the headlamp will
need to be adjusted.

each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or counterclockwise
in order to aim the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.

REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to
your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color.
•Remove particles, such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout, before repairing paint chips.
•Always read the instructions before using the products.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
WARNING:Exposure to high voltage may result in severe
personal injury or death. High voltage components must be
serviced by a trained service technician.
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing, always power-down the vehicle and wait five minutes
before touching any electrical components. Observe the following:
•Use a dry cloth to remove excess dirt that collects on the electrical
components or in the charge port.
•Cover the inverter system controller, power distribution box, and air
filter assembly to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine.
•Never use a power washer to clean the engine or in the charge port.
The high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage and risk of personal injury.
•Never spray water on any of the orange colored components because
these components use high voltage. Never wash or rinse any ignition
coil, spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the area in and around
these locations. Water ingress can damage electrical components and
connections.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Spray Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that
require cleaning and rinse clean. In Canada, use Motorcraft® Engine
Shampoo.
