Introduction

7. Install the bolt cover (if equipped).
8. Reinstall the harness retaining clip into the front of the air filter
assembly.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating
range; there is no need to add fluid. If
the fluid levels are outside of the
normal operating range, the
performance of the system could be
compromised; seek service from your
authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a
lifetime fuel filter that is integrated
with the fuel tank. Regular
maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
WASHER FLUID CHECK
WARNING
If you operate your vehicle in
temperatures below 40°F (5°C),
use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold
weather could result in impaired
windshield vision and increase the risk
of injury or accident.
Note: The front and rear washer
systems are supplied from the same
reservoir.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level
is low. Only use a washer fluid that
meets Ford specifications. See
Capacities and Specifications
(page 329).
State or local regulations on volatile
organic compounds may restrict the
use of methanol, a common
windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents
should be used only if they provide
cold weather protection without
damaging the vehicle’s paint finish,
wiper blades or washer system.

or more), read the following
maintenance recommendations to
make sure your vehicle stays in good
operating condition.

components were engineered and
tested for reliable, regular driving.
Long term storage under various
conditions may lead to component
degradation or failure unless specific
precautions are taken to preserve the
components.
General
• Store all vehicles in a dry,ventilated place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they require regular maintenance to
protect against rust and damage.

from exterior surfaces, rear-wheel
housing and underside of front
fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle stored in exposed locations.

grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.

Scheduled Maintenance

Exceptions
There are some exceptions your
Normal Scheduled Maintenance:
California fuel filter replacement:
If you register your vehicle in
California, the California Air Resources
Board has determined that the failure
to perform this maintenance item
does not nullify the emission warranty
or limit recall liability before the
completion of your vehicle's useful
life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at
the specified intervals and to record
all vehicle service. Hot climate oil change intervals
:
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using
an American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines
(Certification mark) oil of SM or SN
quality, the normal oil change interval
is 5000 miles (8000 kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are
not available, then the oil change
interval is 3000 miles (4800
kilometers).
Engine air filter and cabin air filter

air filter and cabin air filter is
dependent on exposure to dusty and
dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in
these conditions require frequent
inspection and replacement of the
