• Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or

covers.

• Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your

wheel rims or covers. Industrial-strength (heavy-duty) cleaners, or

cleaning chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove

brake dust and dirt, could wear away the clear coat finish over time.

• Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel

cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.

• To remove tar and grease, use Motorcraft威 Bug and Tar Remover.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you plan on storing your vehicle for an extended period of time

(30 days or more), read the following maintenance recommendations to

make sure your vehicle stays in good operating condition.

All motor vehicles and their 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.

Body

• Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from

exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and underside of front fenders.

• Periodically wash vehicles stored in exposed locations.

• Touch-up raw or primed metal to prevent rust.

• Cover chrome and stainless steel parts with a thick coat of auto wax

to prevent discoloration. Re-wax as necessary when the vehicle is

washed.

• Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid hinges, and latches with a light

grade oil.

• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.

• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.
