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.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
• Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
255Maintenance

Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the
lens.
Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer
for service if any of the above conditions
of unacceptable moisture are present.

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

(ZC-37-A) CLEANING THE EXTERIOR Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft® Detail
Wash.
• Never use strong household detergents
or soap, such as dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.
• Never wash a vehicle that is “hot to the
touch” or during exposure to strong,
direct sunlight.
• Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel in order to eliminate
water spotting.
• Immediately remove items such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings and
insect deposits because they can cause
damage to your vehicle’s paintwork
and trim over time. Use Motorcraft Bug
and Tar Remover.
• Remove any exterior accessories, such
as antennas, before entering a car
wash.
Note: Suntan lotions and insect repellents
can damage any painted surface; if these
substances come in contact with your
vehicle, wash off as soon as possible.
Stripes or Graphics (if equipped) Do not use a commercial or high-pressure
wand on the surface or edge of stripes and
graphics. This can cause damage to the
film and cause the edge of the film to peel
away from the vehicle surface.
Exterior Chrome
Note: Never use abrasive materials such as
steel wool or plastic pads as they can
scratch the chrome surface.
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal
cleaner or polish on wheels and wheel
covers
260Vehicle Care

• Wash your vehicle first, using cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail
Wash.
• Use Motorcraft Custom Bright Metal
Cleaner. Apply the product as you
would a wax to clean bumpers and
other chrome parts; allow the cleaner
to dry for a few minutes, then wipe off
the haze with a clean, dry rag.
• Do not apply cleaning product to hot
surfaces and do not leave cleaning
product on chrome surfaces for a
period of time exceeding that which is
recommended.
• Using other non-recommended
cleaners can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
Underbody Flush the complete underside of your
vehicle frequently. Keep body and door
drain holes free from packed dirt.
Cleaning Plastic Exterior Parts Use only approved products to clean
plastic parts
• For routine cleaning, use Motorcraft
Detail Wash.
• If tar or grease spots are present, use
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
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 ensure 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.
WAXING Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before
applying wax.
• Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
to apply and remove the wax.
• Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
• Do not allow wax to come in contact
with any non-body (low-gloss black)
colored trim. The wax will discolor or
stain the parts over time.
• Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side mouldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area.
• Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint should
feel smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
