FORD E SERIES 2017 4.G Owners Manual

Vertical and Horizontal Aim
Adjustment (Sealed Beam
Headlamps)
Use the mechanical aimers on your vehicle
to aim the headlamps. If mechanical
aimers are used and the cross-car sight
line is in any way blocked, set the legs of
the universal adaptor all to the same
setting, such that the cross-car sight line
is no longer blocked (per the instructions
for the brand of mechanical aimer you are
using). You can also aim the headlamps
visually using the procedure below.
8 feet (2.4 meters).
A
Center height of lamp to ground.
B
25 feet (7.6 meters).
C
Horizontal reference line.
D
Vertical reference line for the
center of the headlamp.
E
Vertical reference line for the
center of the vehicle.
F
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away from
a vertical plain surface. Check your
headlamp alignment at night or in a
dark area so that you can see the
headlamp beam pattern. 2.
The center of the headlamp is marked
either on the lens (a circle or cross
marker) or on the bulb shield, internal
to the lamp (mark or feature). Measure
the height from the center of your
headlamp to the ground (B) and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal
line on the wall or screen (D) at this
height (masking tape works well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps and open the hood. 4. Locate the high intensity area of the
beam pattern and place the top edge
of the intensity zone even with the
horizontal reference line (D). If the top
edge of the high intensity area is not
even with the horizontal line, follow the
next step to adjust it. 148

5. Locate the vertical adjuster (A) for
each headlamp. Turn the adjuster
control either clockwise or
counterclockwise to adjust the vertical
aim of the headlamp.
6. In addition to the horizontal line marked in step 2, a pair of vertical lines
(E) must be marked at the center line
of the headlamps on the wall or screen.
7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. The
left edge of the high intensity area
should be even with the vertical line
corresponding to the headlamp under
adjustment. If the left edge of the high
intensity area is not even with the
vertical line, follow the next step to
adjust it.
8. Locate the horizontal adjuster (B) for each headlamp. Turn it clockwise or
counterclockwise to place the left edge
of the high intensity area even with the
vertical line corresponding to the
headlamp under adjustment.
Vertical Aim Adjustment
Procedure (Aerodynamic
Headlamps)
You can only adjust the headlamps
vertically. Your vehicle does not require
horizontal aim adjustments. 8 feet (2.4 meters).
A
Center height of lamp to ground.
B
25 feet (7.6 meters).
C
Horizontal reference line.
D
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark
an 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontal
reference line on the vertical wall or
screen at this height.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood.
149
E-Series (TE4) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MaintenanceE142592

4.
On the wall or screen, you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light
located at the top of the right hand
portion of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the high intensity light zone is
not at the horizontal reference line, you
will need to adjust the headlamp. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Using a Phillips #2
screwdriver, turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp.
6. Repeat steps 3 thru 5 to adjust the other headlamp.
7. Close the hood and switch off the lamps. REMOVING A HEADLAMP

CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a thin film of
mist can form on the interior of the lens.
The thin mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
• Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens. Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
•
Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the
lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if
any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Headlamp Bulbs
(Aerodynamic) WARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb
carefully and keep out of children
’s
reach. Grasp the bulb by only its
plastic base and do not touch the glass.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the headlamps
are operated. Note:
If the bulb is accidentally touched,
clean it with rubbing alcohol before use.
1. Make sure the headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.
2. Remove the headlamp. See Removing a Headlamp (page 150).
3. Disconnect the electrical connector by
squeezing the release tab and pushing
the connector forward, then pulling it

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
or personal injury, do not start the
engine with the air filter removed and
do not remove it while the engine is
running. Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the engine if the
correct air filter element is not used.
When changing the air filter element, use
only the air filter element listed. See
Motorcraft Parts (page 193). The air filter
element should be replaced at the
appropriate intervals. See Normal
Scheduled Maintenance (page 271).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. Resulting component damage may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty. 1.
Disconnect the fresh air inlet tube from
the radiator support.
2. Open the clamp that secures the two halves of the air filter housing together. 3. Carefully separate the two halves of
the air filter housing.
4. Remove the air filter element from the
housing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing.
This could cause filter damage and
allow unfiltered air to enter the engine
if not properly seated.
6. Replace the two halves of the air filter housing and secure the clamp.
7. Connect the fresh air inlet tube to the radiator support.
