CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
cleaning the interior of the windshield,
avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
any glass cleaner off these surfaces
immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNING: Do not use cleaning
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing. WARNING:
On vehicles equipped
with seat-mounted airbags, do not use
chemical solvents or strong detergents.
Such products could contaminate the
side airbag system and affect
performance of the side airbag in a crash.
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats and seats
equipped with side airbags:
• Remove dust and loose dirt with a
vacuum cleaner.
• Remove light stains and soil with
Motorcraft Professional Strength
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
• If grease or tar is present on the
material, spot-clean the area first with
Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose
Cleaner.
• If a ring forms on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area
immediately (but do not oversaturate)
or the ring will set.
• Do not use household cleaning
products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect
the flame retardant abilities of the seat
materials.
Mirrors
Do not clean the housing or glass of any
mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning
products.

Tires
Your vehicle has low profile, high
performance tires that are designed to
optimize the driving dynamics you expect
in a Ford vehicle. These tires are not
optimized for off-road or winter (snow or
cold weather) performance, and their ride,
noise and wear characteristics are different
than non-performance tires. Also, because
of their lower profile, the tires are more
susceptible to damage due to potholes
and rough roads. Wheels (inches)

To make sure that your tires perform as
intended, it is important that you properly
maintain your tires:
• Your original equipment tires are
optimized for performance in both wet
and dry conditions. We do not
recommend using the original
equipment tires when temperatures
drop to about 45°F (7°C) or below
(depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions) or in snow
and ice conditions.
• The tires were designed for track use
and may exhibit significantly reduced
tread life and increased tire noise
compared to the standard equipment
tires under normal driving conditions.
Increasing the front camber settings
beyond the factory settings may further
accelerate tread wear and induce tire
noise.
• For tire pressures, see the placard
located on the B-pillar inside the driver
door.
• Always maintain your tire pressures
according to the tire information
placard on the driver door jamb, using
an accurate gauge.
• Tire pressures are specified cold and
should be checked after the vehicle has
been parked for at least three hours.
Do not reduce the pressure of warm
tires. •
Check your tire pressure often to
maintain it properly. Tire pressure can
diminish over time and fluctuate with
temperature.
• Do not overload your vehicle.
Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
• Extra caution should be taken when
operating the vehicle near its maximum
load, including assuring proper tire
pressure and reducing speeds.
• Extra caution should be taken when
operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
• In the event that you encounter an
abnormally harsh impact, inspect your
tires for damage.
• Inspect your tires for damage on a
regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
immediately replace it.
• Proper suspension alignment is critical
for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven
tire wear, have your alignment checked.
• Rotate tires as recommended in the
tire rotation information. See Tire Care,
in the Wheels and Tires Chapter of the
Owner's Manual.
• Follow the rotation pattern for
"Vehicles equipped with different size
tires on the front and rear axle".
• When replacing tires, the only way to
maintain original performance is to use
the original equipment tire. If a different
tire is used, it should be the same size,
speed rating and load rating and be
replaced as a set of four. Never mix tire
brands.
