element edges between the air
filter housing and cover. This could
cause filter damage and allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine if
not properly seated.
6. Install the air filter housing cover.
7. Engage the clamps to secure the air filter housing cover to the air
filter housing.
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident,
the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized
dealer.
Headlamp Aiming Target 8 feet (2.4 meters)
A
Center height of lamp to
ground
B 25 feet (7.6 meters)
C
Horizontal reference line
D
Vertical Aim Adjustment
Procedure
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of
a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)
away.
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the
ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4
meter) horizontal reference line on
the vertical wall or screen at this
height.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the
light from one headlamp while
adjusting the other.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood. 281
MaintenanceE142592 E142465
Page 285 of 474

4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a flat zone of high
intensity light located at the top of
the right hand portion of the beam
pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the
horizontal reference line, the
headlamp will need to be adjusted. 5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp. Using a Phillips
#2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster
either clockwise or
counterclockwise in order to adjust
the vertical aim of the headlamp.
The horizontal edge of the brighter
light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and turn off the
lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this
vehicle and is not adjustable.
REMOVING A HEADLAMP
See an authorized dealer. CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to
accommodate normal changes in
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
thin film of mist can form on the
interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through
the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation
are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks,
drip marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of
the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture
(usually caused by a lamp water leak)
are:
• Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks
or streaks present on the interior
of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for
service if any of the above conditions
of unacceptable moisture are present.
Replacing Bulbs
For replacing bulbs, see your
authorized dealer.

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
The windows and wiper blades should
be cleaned regularly. If the wipers do
not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle
’s glass or the wiper blades
may cause squeaking or chatter noise
from the blades, and streaking and
smearing of the windshield.
To clean these items, follow these
tips:
• The windows may be cleaned with
a non-abrasive cleaner such as
Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray
Glass Cleaner.
• The wiper blades can be cleaned
with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
Motorcraft® Premium Windshield
Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or
Premium Quality Windshield
Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure
to replace wiper blades when they
appear worn or do not function
properly.
• Do not use abrasives, as they may
cause scratches
• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint
thinner to clean any parts.

Vehicle Care
Page 298 of 474

Do not remove any foreign object that
has pierced the tire. If a puncture is
located in the tire sidewall, stop and
call roadside assistance.
1.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing.
3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to
the tire valve, turning clockwise.
Make sure the connection is tightly
fastened. 4. Plug the power cable into the
12-volt power point in the vehicle.
5. Remove the warning sticker found
on the canister and place it on the
top of the instrument panel or the
center of the dash.
6. Start the engine only if the vehicle
is outdoors or in a well-ventilated
area. 7. Push and turn dial (A)
counterclockwise to the sealant
position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on/off button (B). 8.
Inflate the tire to the pressure
listed on the tire label located on
the driver's door or the door jamb
area. When the sealing compound
is first added into the tire, the air
pressure gauge reading on the
compressor unit may indicate a
higher value; this is normal and
should be no reason for concern.
The pressure will drop after about
30 seconds of operation. The tire
pressure has to be checked with
the compressor in the OFF position
to get the correct tire pressure
reading.

9. When the recommended tire
pressure is reached, turn off the kit
by pressing the on button;
disconnect the kit from the tire
valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the
metal connector, and return the kit
to the stowage area
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive
the vehicle 4 miles (6 km) to
distribute the sealant evenly
inside the tire. Do not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h).
11. After 4 miles (6 km), stop and check the tire pressure. See
Second stage: Checking tire
pressure.
Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise
while driving, reduce your speed until
you can safely pull off to the side of the
road to call for roadside assistance.
Note: Do not proceed to the second
stage of this operation.
Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the
First stage: Re–inflating the tire
with sealing compound and air section
and have injected sealant in the tire
and the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4
bar), stop and call roadside
assistance. If tire pressure is above 20
psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step. The power plug may get hot
after use and should be handled
carefully while unplugging. Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:
1.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten
firmly on the valve stem by turning
clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit
by pressing the on button. 4. Adjust the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
from the tire label located on the
driver's door or door jamb area.
The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in
the OFF position to get the correct
tire pressure reading.
5. Turn the compressor off by pressing the on/off button.
6. Unplug the hoses, re-install the
valve cap on the tire and return the
kit to the stowage area.
