Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important that you have
the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify any
potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company
suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
Multi-point inspection - recommended at every visit
❑Check and top up fluid levels:❑brake
❑coolant recovery reservoir
❑fuel coolant recovery reservoir (F-Super Duty only)
❑manual and automatic transmission
❑power steering
❑window washer
❑Inspect tires for wear and check air pressure, including spare.
❑Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts and foreign materials.
❑Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris; the holes/slots are functional (F-Super Duty only)
❑Check battery performance.
❑Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard warning lights.
❑Check radiator, coolers and heater and air conditioning hoses.
❑Inspect windshield washer spray and wiper operation.
❑Check windshield for cracks, chips and pitting.
❑Inspect for oil and fluid leaks.
