Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
Have your vehicle serviced regularly to help
maintain its roadworthiness and resale
value. There is a large network of Ford
Authorised Repairers that are there to help
you with their professional servicing
expertise. We believe that their specially
trained technicians are best qualified to
service your vehicle properly and expertly.
They are supported by a wide range of
highly specialised tools developed
specifically for servicing your vehicle.
In addition to regular servicing, we
recommend that you carry out the
following additional checks.
WARNINGS
Switch the ignition off before
touching or attempting adjustment
of any kind.
Do not touch the electronic ignition
system parts after you have switched
the ignition on or when the engine is
running. The system operates at high
voltage. Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan. Under
certain conditions, the fan may
continue to run for several minutes after
you have switched the engine off. CAUTION
When carrying out maintenance
checks, make sure that filler caps are
fitted securely.
Daily checks
•
Exterior lamps.
• Interior lamps.
• Warning lamps and indicators. Check when refuelling
•
Engine oil level. See Engine Oil Check
(page 190).
• Brake fluid level. See Brake and
Clutch Fluid Check (page 191).
• Washer fluid level. See Washer Fluid
Check (page 192).
• Tyre pressures (when cold). See
Technical Specifications (page 209).
• Tyre condition. See Wheels and Tyres
(page 199).
Monthly checks
• Engine coolant level (engine cold). See
Engine Coolant Check (page 191).
• Pipes, hoses and reservoirs for leaks.
• Air conditioning operation.
• Parking brake operation.
• Horn operation.
• Tightness of wheel nuts. See
Technical Specifications (page 209).

Checking the coolant level
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
CAUTIONS
In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach
a vehicle service station. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician as soon as possible. CAUTIONS
Prolonged use of incorrect dilution of
the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or
freezing. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will
escape slowly as you unscrew the cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
Top up with a 50/50 mixture of coolant
and water using fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
WARNINGS
Use of any fluid other than the
recommended brake fluid may
reduce brake efficiency and not meet
Ford's performance standards. Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor. If the level is at the MIN mark, have
the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as
possible. Note:
Keep brake fluid clean and dry.
Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum
products or other materials may result in
brake system damage and possible failure.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.

Maintenance

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note:
The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir. When topping up, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.

Do not use fluids which do not meet the specifications or requirements defined. Use

Your engine has been designed to be used with Castrol and Ford Engine Oil, which gives
a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.
For petrol engines only, Ford and Castrol have developed a low friction SAE-5W-20 oil
which offers further fuel economy benefits over the standard SAE-5W-30 oil. If this oil
is not available, we recommend that you service with oil to specification WSS-M2C913-C.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C or WSS-M2C925-B (petrol engines only), you must use SAE 5W-30
that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5.
Using topping up oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine cranking
periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission
levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended.
