AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.

If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps

should be checked by a qualified service technician.

CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE

Refer to the Customer Assistance chapter for a list of Ford-approved

cleaners, polishes and waxes.

Washing your vehicle

Wash your vehicle regularly with

cold or lukewarm water. Never use

strong detergents or soap. If your

vehicle is particularly dirty, use a

quality car wash detergent. Always

use a clean sponge, washing glove

or similar device and plenty of water

for best results. To avoid spots,

avoid washing when the hood is still

warm, immediately after or during

exposure to strong sunlight.

During winter months, it is especially important to wash the vehicle on a

regular basis. Large quantities of dirt and road salt are difficult to

remove and also cause damage to the vehicle.

Any gasoline spilled on the vehicle or deposits such as bird droppings

should be washed and sponged off as soon as possible. Deposits not

removed promptly can cause damage to the vehicle’s paintwork.

Remove any exterior accessories, such as antennas, before entering a car

wash. If you have wax applied to the vehicle at a commercial car wash, it

is recommended that you clean the wiper blades and windshield as

described in Cleaning the wiper blades and windshield.

After washing, apply the brakes several times to dry them.

Underbody

Flush the complete underside of vehicle frequently. Keep body drain

holes unplugged. Inspect for road damage.
