CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Only use the specified replacement air
filter. See Capacities and Specifications
(page 281).
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.
Change the air filter element at the correct
interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 427). 1. Disconnect the electrical connector
from the sensor and the cable from the
air filter cover.
Note: Vehicles with 3.2L or 3.5L engine only. 2.
Clean the area around the air tube and
air filter cover connection. Loosen the
air tube clamp, it is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp. Remove
the air tube off from the air filter
housing cover. 3. Remove the clips that secure the air
filter housing cover.
Note: To unlatch the molded clip (x1) on
the air filter housing cover, push it backward.
4. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
5. Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.

6.
Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter

gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.
7. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover.
8. Install the air filter housing cover.
Note: Make sure the front clips are fully
engaged and the molded clip on the air filter
housing cover is fully pushed down and
securely clicks into place.
9. Install the air tube onto the air filter cover. Tighten the air tube clamp until
you feel a strong resistance.
10. Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor and the cable to the air
filter cover.
Secondary Foam Air Filter (If Equipped)
If you operate your vehicle in heavy snow,
we recommend that you clear any snow
or ice from the secondary foam air filter
every
200 mi (320 km). Do not
permanently remove the secondary foam
air filter. The secondary foam air filter must be in
place when the engine is running.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
Note:
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the wax
from the windshield and the wiper blades.
Note: Before using a car wash, check that
it is suitable for your vehicle.
Note: Some car washes use water at high
pressure. Due to this, water droplets may
enter inside your vehicle and could also
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Note: Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Note: Switch the blower motor off to
prevent contamination of the cabin air filter.
Cleaning the Headlamps
Note: Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Note: Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the Rear Window
Note: Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window.
Cleaning the Chrome Trim
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean the chrome trim. Use
soapy water.
Use a soft clean cloth to dry the chrome
trim. Note:
Do not apply cleaning product to hot
surfaces and do not leave cleaning product
on chrome surfaces for a period of time
exceeding that which is recommended.
Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, may cause
damage over a period of time.
Body Paintwork Preservation
We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
Note: Do not apply polish in strong sunlight
as this dries the polish too quickly.
Note: Do not allow polish to come in
contact with plastic surfaces as it can be
difficult to remove.
Note: Do not apply polish to the windshield
or rear window. A contaminated windshield
or contaminated wiper blades may lead to
increased wiper noise, reduced wipe quality
or reduced rain sensor performance.
Sliding Door Tracks (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not open or close the sliding
doors when your hands are near the
tracks or rollers.
To clean the sliding door tracks, wipe the
surface using a clean, cotton cloth with a
mild soap and water solution.
Do not use a commercial or high-pressure
washer.
WAXING
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
240
Transit (TTH) Canada/United States of America, HK3J 19A321 AA enUSA, Edition date: 04/2016, First Printing Vehicle Care

When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before
applying wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.
• Follow the manufacturer ’s instructions
to apply and remove the wax.
• Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
• Do not allow wax to come in contact
with any non-body (low-gloss black)
colored trim. The wax will discolor or
stain the parts over time.
•Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side moldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area.
• Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint should
feel smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
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 Motorcraft Engine 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.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
• Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner. When
cleaning the interior of the windshield,
avoid getting any glass cleaner on the
instrument panel or door panels. Wipe
any glass cleaner off these surfaces
immediately.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
concentrate.
