INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS
Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then dry with a dry cloth.
•Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of the upper portion of
the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the
driver from undesirable windshield reflection.
Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning
the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of
the air bag system.
•Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the painted surfaces.
INTERIOR TRIM
•Clean the interior trim areas with a damp cloth, then dry by wiping
with a dry, soft, clean cloth.
•Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish.
INTERIOR
For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side
air bags:
•Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
•Remove light stains and soil with Ford Extra Strength Upholstery
Cleaner (E8AZ-19523–AA).
•If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first
with Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover (ZC-14).
•Never saturate the seat covers with cleaning solution.
•Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can
stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of
the seat materials.
Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle’s
safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt webbing.

CHECKING AND ADDING POWER STEERING FLUID
Check the power steering fluid.
Refer to the scheduled maintenance
guide for the service interval
schedules. If adding fluid is
necessary, use only MERCONAT F.
1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating
temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be
near the center of the normal area between H and C).
2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several
times.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN
and MAX lines. Do not add fluid if the level is within this range.
5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking
the level until it reaches the correct operating range. Be sure to put the
cap back on the reservoir.
BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR
The fluid level will drop slowly as
the brakes wear, and will rise when
the brake components are replaced.
Fluid levels between the“MIN”and
“MAX”lines are within the normal
operating range, there is no need to
add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating range, the performance of your brake
system could be compromised, seek service from your dealer
immediately.

•Inflating a low tire will not clear the Low Tire Warning indicator light.
Only reseting the system will clear the light.
•The system will not detect a pressure loss without driving the vehicle
for at least 0.8 km (0.5 mile) at speeds greater than 40 km/h
(25 mph).
To reset the system if equipped
with Tire Reset switch:
turn the ignition to the ON position,
press and hold the“TIRE RESET”
switch (located on the instrument
panel behind the left side of the
steering wheel) for three seconds.
The low tire warning indicator light
will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.
To reset the system if not
equipped with Tire Reset switch:
turn the ignition to the ON position,
depress and Trip/odometer button
(located in the instrument cluster)
until“TIRE RESET”or“CHECK
TIRE AND RESET”is displayed in the odometer display window. Once
“TIRE RESET”or“CHECK TIRE AND RESET”is displayed, press and
hold the button for three seconds. The low tire warning indicator light
will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.
The system normally requires 15 to 20 minutes of driving in each of
three speed ranges to learn how the tires behave after the system has
been reset. However, the system will become functional in each speed
range as soon as learning completes in each individual speed range.
Speed ranges:
•Low 40–68 km/h (25–42 mph)
•Medium 68–100 km/h (42–62 mph)
•High–above 100 km/h (62 mph)
This system may not function properly under the following conditions:
•Uneven tread wear.
•Driving on loose or low traction surfaces such as gravel, snow or slush.
•Using tire chains
•Initial tire pressures out of specified range.
