REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to
your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color.
•Remove particles, such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout, before repairing paint chips.
•Always read the instructions before using the products.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
WARNING:Exposure to high voltage may result in severe
personal injury or death. High voltage components must be
serviced by a trained service technician.
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing, always power-down the vehicle and wait five minutes
before touching any electrical components. Observe the following:
•Use a dry cloth to remove excess dirt that collects on the electrical
components or in the charge port.
•Cover the inverter system controller, power distribution box, and air
filter assembly to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine.
•Never use a power washer to clean the engine or in the charge port.
The high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage and risk of personal injury.
•Never spray water on any of the orange colored components because
these components use high voltage. Never wash or rinse any ignition
coil, spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the area in and around
these locations. Water ingress can damage electrical components and
connections.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Spray Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that
require cleaning and rinse clean. In Canada, use Motorcraft® Engine
Shampoo.

Body
•Wash vehicle thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing and underside of front fenders.
See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•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. See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid hinges, and latches with a light
grade oil. See theCleaningchapter for more information.
•Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
•Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.
Engine
•The engine oil and filter should be changed prior to storage, as used
engine oil contain contaminates that may cause engine damage.
•Start the engine every 15 days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal
operating temperature.
•With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the
engine is running.
Fuel system
•Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel until the first automatic shutoff
of the fuel pump nozzle.
Note:During extended periods of vehicle storage (30 days or more),
fuel may deteriorate due to oxidation. Add a quality gas stabilizer
product to the vehicle fuel system whenever actual or expected storage
periods exceed 30 days. Follow the instructions on the additive label.
The vehicle should then be operated at idle speed to circulate the
additive throughout the fuel system.
Cooling system
•Protect against freezing temperatures.
•When removing vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm there are no cooling system leaks, and fluid is at the
recommended level.
