Under various conditions, long-term storagemay lead to degraded engine performanceor failure unless you use specific precautionsto preserve your vehicle.
General
•Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilatedplace.
•If vehicles are stored outside, theyrequire regular maintenance to protectagainst rust and weather damage.
•Make sure all linkages, cables, levers andpins under your vehicle are covered withgrease to prevent rust.
•Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m) every15 days to lubricate working parts andprevent corrosion.
•Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fueluntil the first automatic shutoff of the fuelpump nozzle.
Engine
•Change the engine oil and filter prior tostorage because used engine oil containscontaminants which may cause enginedamage.
•Start the engine every 15 days for aminimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idlewith the climate controls set to defrostuntil the engine reaches normaloperating temperature.
•With your foot on the brake, shift throughall the gears while the engine is running.

12 Volt Battery
•When storing your vehicle for greaterthan 30 days the state of charge shouldbe approximately 50%. Additionally, werecommend disconnecting the 12vbattery which will reduce system loadson the battery.
•Check and recharge as necessary. Keepconnections clean.
Note:It is necessary to reset memoryfeatures if you disconnect the battery cables.
Brakes
Make sure the brakes and parking brakerelease fully.
Note:If you intend on parking your vehiclefor an extended period after cleaning thewheels with a wheel cleaner, drive yourvehicle for a few minutes before doing so toreduce the risk of increased corrosion of thebrake discs, brake pads and linings.
Tires
Maintain recommended air pressure.
Note:If you intend on parking your vehiclefor an extended period after cleaning thewheels with a wheel cleaner, drive yourvehicle for a few minutes before doing so.This reduces the risk of corrosion of thebrake discs, brake pads and linings.
REMOVING YOUR VEHICLE FROM
STORAGE
When your vehicle is ready to come out ofstorage, do the following:
•We recommend that you change theengine oil before you use your vehicleagain.

•Check windshield wipers for anydeterioration.
•Check the underhood for any foreignmaterials such as mice or squirrel nests.
•Check the exhaust for any foreignmaterials.
•Check tire pressures and set tire inflationper the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Corrodedbrake rotors could cause brake noise.Drive your vehicle and gently apply andrelease the brakes repeatedly over a10-minute drive to reduce the corrosionfrom the brakes.
•Check fluid levels (including coolant, oiland gas) to make sure there are no leaks,and fluids are at recommended levels.

Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-LifeMonitor system, a message appears in theinformation display at the proper oil changeinterval. This interval may be up to one yearor 10,000 mi (16,000 km), hybrid vehiclesmay exceed 10,000 mi (16,000 km).
Your vehicle can be driven in such a way thatdilutes and increases the level of oil by shorttrips that do not allow the engine to get tooperating temperature, extended idling, andlow speed driving for long periods of time.
When the oil change message appears inthe information display, it is time for an oilchange. Make sure you perform the oilchange within two weeks or 500 mi (800 km)of the message appearing. Make sure youreset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor aftereach oil change. See Intelligent Oil LifeMonitor (page 433).
If your information display resets prematurelyor becomes inoperative, you should performthe oil change interval at six months or5,000 mi (8,000 km) from your last oilchange. Never exceed one year or 10,000 mi(16,000 km) between oil change intervals,
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and builtwith multiple, complex, performance systems.Every manufacturer develops these systemsusing different specifications andperformance features. That is why it isimportant to rely upon your dealership toproperly diagnose and repair your vehicle.
We have recommended maintenanceintervals for various parts and componentsystems based upon engineering testing.We rely upon this testing to determine themost appropriate mileage for replacementof oils and fluids to protect your vehicle atthe lowest overall cost to you andrecommends against maintenance schedulesthat deviate from the scheduled maintenanceinformation.
We strongly recommend the use of onlygenuine Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorizedre-manufactured replacement partsengineered for your vehicle.

Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-LifeMonitor that determines when you shouldchange the engine oil based on how you useyour vehicle. By using several important
factors in its calculations, the monitor helpsreduce the cost of owning your vehicle andreduces environmental waste at the sametime.
This means you do not have to remember tochange the oil on a mileage-based schedule.Your vehicle lets you know when an oilchange is due by displaying a message inthe instrument cluster display.
The following table provides examples ofvehicle use and its impact on oil changeintervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oilchange intervals depend on several factorsand generally decrease with severity of use.
