Your ST vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure.
•Exercise caution when using automated, commercial car washes. Hand
washing or using touchless commercial car washes without mechanical
tracks is the best way to avoid potential damage.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•If you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect the outer
diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.

3. Set the parking brake and make sure the transmission selector lever is
securely latched in first gear.

5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick.
6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again.
A. MIN
B. MAX
•If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, the oil level is
acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
•If the oil level is below the MIN mark, add enough oil to raise the level
within the MIN and MAX marks
•The maximum oil level is between the upper hash mark and the MAX
mark. Oil levels above this range may cause engine damage. Some oil
must be removed from the engine by an authorized dealer.
7. Put the dipstick back in and make sure it is fully seated.
ENGINE COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
Note:Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the engine coolant reservoirs.
Note:For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240E available from your
dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test
strips for measuring coolant concentrations.
Note:Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the
MAX mark. If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant immediately.
