3. Remove the bolt cover (if
equipped).
4. Remove two bolts that attach the
air filter assembly to the front of the
vehicle (2).
5. Loosen the clamp holding the air
filter assembly to the rubber hose
(1).
6. Remove the harness retaining clip
by pulling up (3). Do not disconnect
the sensor (4).
7. Without disconnecting the sensor (4), pull the air filter assembly up to
disconnect the air filter assembly from the seated grommets located
underneath the air filter assembly.
8. Rotate the air filter assembly 90
degrees counterclockwise and
reinstall into the rubber hose.
9. Tighten the clamp (1).
10. The transmission fluid level
indicator can now be accessed.
Low fluid level
If the fluid level is below the MIN
range of the dipstick, add fluid to
reach the hash mark level.Note:If
the fluid level is below the MIN level,
do not drive the vehicle. An underfill
condition may cause shift and/or
engagement concerns and/or possible
damage.

Correct fluid level
The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating
temperature 180°F-200°F (82°C-93°C) on a level surface. The normal
operating temperature can be reached after approximately 20 miles
(30 km) of driving.
The transmission fluid level should be
targeted within the cross-hatch area
if at normal operating temperature
180°F-200°F (82°C-93°C) .
High fluid level
If the fluid level is above the MAX
range of the dipstick, remove fluid to
reach the hashmark level.Note:
Fluid level above the MAX level may
cause shift and/or engagement
concerns and/or possible damage.
High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition. If your
vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city
traffic during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be
turned off until normal operating temperatures are reached. Depending
on vehicle use, cooling times could take up to 30 minutes or longer.
Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels
Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
Note:Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transmission component damage.
If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint
(250 ml) increments through the
filler tube until the level is correct.
If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized
dealer.
Note:An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or
engagement concerns and/or possible damage.

Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
6F35 TRANSMISSION (if equipped)
Note:Transmission fluid should be checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by an authorized dealer.
The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationfor scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not
consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the
transmission is not working properly, (i.e., if the transmission slips or
shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
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.
Note:Police pursuits, involving hard braking, result in high temperatures
in the brake system - including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated
exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially
reducing its boiling point. A lower boiling point could cause long brake
pedal travel and a loss of braking confidence during subsequent pursuit
driving. Ford recommends that police fleets replace the brake fluid at
every brake pad service interval according to the service procedure.
Brake fluid should be replaced on vehicles involved in high speed
pursuits with heavy brake usage.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power steering (EPS) system.
There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. For additional information on
the electric power steering (EPS) system, Refer toDriving Aids.
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.

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent damage
to the system sensors. SeeTire Pressure Monitoring Systemearlier in
the chapter. During repairing or replacing of the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the system sensor for damage.
Tire Change Procedure
WARNING:When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent your vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in park(P).
WARNING:To help prevent your vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure to place the transmission in park(P),set
the parking brake and block (in both directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and end of your vehicle) to the tire
being changed.
WARNING:Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported
only by a jack. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone
else could be seriously injured.
WARNING:Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of your
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
WARNING:Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of possible serious injury or
death, do not remove the full size spare tire from the factory
secured location. This location is necessary to achieve police-rated
75 mph (120 km/h) rear impact crash-test performance. Removal
increases the risk of fuel leak in high-speed rear impacts.
Note:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Note:For sedan, only the original equipment tire or 245/55R18 tire with
outer diameter less than 725 millimeters will stow in the tire tub.
Utility
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard
flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park(P)and turn the engine off.
3. Lift the floor cargo cover, then
remove the wing nut that secures
the spare tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
4. Lift and remove the spare tire
from the spare tire well.

recovery hook (B).
7. Turn the lead screw (where the

1Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 Low Viscosity High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may
cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Ford performance standards. Keep brake
fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials may
result in brake system damage and possible failure.2Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.3Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid. Refer to
scheduled maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid
other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.4See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.
