WAXING
•Wash the vehicle first.
•Use a quality wax that does not contain abrasives.
•Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim, such as grained door handles, roof
racks, bumpers, side moldings, mirror housings or the windshield cowl
area. The paint sealant will “gray” or stain the parts over time.
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 ensure 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
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
•Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.
•Spray MotorcraftEngine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that
require cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In Canada, use Motorcraft
Engine Shampoo.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Never wash or rinse any ignition coil, spark plug wire or spark plug
well, or the area in and around these locations.
•Cover the battery, power distribution box, and air filter assembly to
prevent water damage when cleaning the engine.

Voice command issues
Issue Possible
Cause(s)Possible Solution(s)
SYNC does not
understand what
I am saying.You may be using
the wrong voice
commands, OR
You may be
speaking too soon
or at the wrong
time.Review the Phone voice
commands and the Media voice
commands at the beginning of
their respective sections.
Be aware that SYNC’s
microphone is either in your
rear view mirror or in the
headliner just above the
windshield.
SYNC does not
understand the
name of a song or
artist.You may be using
the wrong voice
commands, OR
You may not be
saying the name
exactly as it is
saved, OR
The system may
not be “reading”
the name the
same way you are
saying it.Review the media voice
commands at the beginning of
the media section.
Say the song or artist exactly as
they are listed. If you say, “Play
Artist Prince”, the system does
not play music by Prince and
the Revolution or Prince and the
New Power Generation.
Make sure you are saying the
complete title such as
“California remix featuring
Jennifer Nettles”.
If the songs are saved in all
CAPS, you have to spell them.
LOLA requires you to say, “ Play
L-O-L-A”
Do not use special characters in
the title as the system does not
recognize them.
