ENGINE COOLING FAN - E85/
GASOLINE WARNING
Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan. Under certain conditions, the engine
cooling fan may continue to run for several
minutes after you switch your vehicle off.
ENGINE COOLING FAN -
DIESEL
WARNING
Keep your hands and clothing clear
of the engine cooling fan.
Under certain conditions, the engine
cooling fan may continue to run for several
minutes after you switch your vehicle off.
This could happen in low ambient
temperatures and independent of the
engine coolant temperature, for example
short journeys or low coolant temperature.
See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 115).
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when the
engine is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, spilling
coolant on hot engine parts can burn you. Do not put engine coolant in the
windshield washer fluid container. If
sprayed on the windshield, engine
coolant could make it difficult to see
through the windshield. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure. Steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when you loosen the cap
slightly. Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.

DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
WATER TRAP - 3.2L POWER
STROKE DIESEL
WARNING
Do not dispose of fuel in the
household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized
waste disposal facility. Your vehicle is fitted with a diesel fuel
conditioner module located behind the fuel
tank.
A warning lamp will illuminate
and a message will be displayed
when approximately 3.38 fl oz
(100 ml) of water accumulates in the
module. If you allow the water level to
exceed this level, the water may pass
through to the engine and may cause fuel
injection equipment damage.
Note: To drain the fuel filter water trap,
access the underside of your vehicle. 1. Attach a tube to the drain plug and
place the end of the tube into a
suitable container.
2. Loosen the drain plug by turning counterclockwise one to two turns and
allow the water to drain.
Note: The drain plug will rise when opening.
3. Tighten the drain plug by turning clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
Note: The drain plug will lower when
closing.
When you start the engine the water in fuel
indicator lamp turns off after a short period
of time.
Changing the Fuel Filter
Note: To drain the fuel filter, access the
underside of your vehicle.
1. Drain the fuel from the filter housing.

8. Purge air from the system.
Note: Only add fuel that meets the Ford
specification. See Fuel and Refueling
(page 117).
Purging Air From the Fuel System
1. Switch the ignition on for at least 30 seconds then switch the ignition off.
2. Repeat this process six times.
3. Start the engine and maintain engine speed at 1500 RPM.
4. Wait 20 seconds.
5. If the engine is running smoothly, reduce the engine speed to idle.
6. Check for leaks.
7. Switch the ignition off.

FUEL FILTER - GASOLINE
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime
fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel
tank. Regular maintenance or replacement
is not needed. CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
Removing the Battery WARNINGS
You must replace your vehicle
battery with one of exactly the same
specification.
Make sure the battery box is correctly
sealed.
Your vehicle battery is heavy; take
care when lifting and removing.
Note:
If you have power seats and the
battery has no charge, jump-start your
vehicle to move the seat. See Jump
Starting the Vehicle (page 184).
Note: Where applicable you must
reprogram the audio system using the
keycode.
The battery is located inside your vehicle
under the driver seat. 1.
Fully raise the driver seat and slide the
seat fully forward. Remove the cover
trim by pulling up the tabs with your
fingers.

We engineer and test all motor vehicles
and their components for reliable, regular
driving. Under various conditions,
long-term storage may lead to degraded
engine performance or failure unless you
use specific precautions to preserve engine
components.
General
•
Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.
• Protect from sunlight, if possible.
• If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and damage.
Body
• Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear-wheel housing
and the underside of front fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle if it is
stored in exposed locations.
• Touch-up exposed 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 you wash your vehicle.
• Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents. Engine
•
Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminates which may
cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle
with the climate controls set to defrost
until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
• With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running.
• We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
Fuel system
• Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Cooling system
• Protect against freezing temperatures.
• When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
• Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.
• If storing your vehicle for more than 30
days without recharging the battery,
we recommend that you disconnect
the battery cables to maintain battery
charge for quick starting.
Note: It is necessary to reset memory
features if battery cables are disconnected.

defined specification and viscosity grade
may lead to:
• Component damage which may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance. •
Reduced fuel economy.
• Degraded brake performance.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
