GENERAL INFORMATION
See the following sections for directions
on how to properly use safety restraints
for children.
WARNINGS
Always make sure your child is
secured properly in a device that is
appropriate for their height, age and
weight. Child safety restraints must be
bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and
guidelines may result in an increased risk
of serious injury or death to your child. All children are shaped differently.
The recommendations for safety
restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds
from National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum
requirements of law. Ford recommends
checking with a NHTSA Certified Child
Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and
consult your pediatrician to make sure your
child seat is appropriate for your child, and WARNINGS
is compatible with and properly installed
in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting
station and CPST, contact the NHTSA toll
free at 1-888-327-4236 or go to
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada,
check with your local St. John Ambulance
office for referral to a CPST or for further
information, contact your provincial
ministry of transportation, locate your local
St. John Ambulance office by searching for
St. John Ambulance on the internet, or
Transport Canada at 1-800-333-0371
(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly
restrain children in safety seats made
especially for their height, age, and weight
may result in an increased risk of serious
injury or death to your child. Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. 15

Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. Motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines are
also acceptable. Do not use oil labeled
with API SN service category unless the
label also displays the API certification
mark. An oil with this trademark symbol
conforms to the current engine and
emission system protection standards and
fuel economy requirements of the
International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Council (ILSAC). Note:
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives. They are unnecessary and could
lead to engine damage that is not covered
by Ford ’s warranty.
Ford recommends using DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) 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.
Use multi-purpose grease for door latches,
hood latch, auxiliary hood latch, trunk latch
and seat tracks.
If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grades this may lead to:
• Component damage which may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance.

Note: The American Petroleum Institute
(API) service symbol is used to identify the
correct engine oil for your vehicle's engine.
The API service symbol is on the oil
container. Note:
The use of correct oil viscosities is
important for satisfactory operation.
Determine which oil viscosity best suits the
temperature range you expect to encounter
for the next service interval from the SAE
viscosity grade chart. Note:
For the use of biodiesel fuel (B6 –
B20), use SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4.
