AIR FILTER CHECK
WARNING:To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal
burn injuries do not start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
Note:
Failure to re-install the air cleaner assembly properly by fully
seating on the mounting studs in (5) places and securing with the (2) bolts
may result in air cleaner assembly dislodgement from engine and damage
to the air cleaner assembly and other engine components. Therefore we
recommend that the air filter be serviced at a Ford dealer.
When changing the air filter element, use only the air filter element
listed. Refer toMotorcraft® part numbersin theCapacities and
Specificationschapter.
Refer toScheduled Maintenancefor the appropriate intervals for
changing the air filter element.
Note:Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe

the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.

If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.

approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
•(A) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•(B) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(C) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•(D) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and
mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall
or screen at this height.

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.
4.
Locate the vertical adjuster on
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.
5. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS
NOT ADJUSTABLE.

REMOVING A HEADLAMP

2. Remove the two screws from the
headlamp assembly.
3. Carefully pull the headlamp
assembly as far as possible
towards the center of the vehicle

CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
These are examples of acceptable condensation:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

These are examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp
water leak):
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
WARNING:Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep
out of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb by only its plastic base
and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.
Note:If the bulb is accidentally touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
Locating the Headlamp Bulbs:
A. Turn lamp
B. Low beam headlamp
C. High beam headlamp
Replacing the High Beam
Headlamp Bulb:
1. Remove the headlamp assembly.
2. Remove the service cap.
3. Disconnect the electrical
connector
4. Release the clip and remove the
bulb from the headlamp assembly.
