VEHICLE STORAGE
If you plan on storing your vehicle for
an extended period of time (30 days
or more), read the following
maintenance recommendations to
make sure your vehicle stays in good
operating condition.
All motor vehicles and their
components were engineered and
tested for reliable, regular driving.
Long term storage under various
conditions may lead to component
degradation or failure unless specific
precautions are taken to preserve the
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 toremove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud
from exterior surfaces, rear-wheel
housing and underside of front
fenders.
• Periodically wash your vehicle 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 your vehicle is
washed.
• Lubricate all hood, door and trunk lid hinges, and latches with a light
grade oil.
• Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
• Keep all rubber parts free from oil and solvents.
Engine
• The engine oil and filter should bechanged prior to storage, as used
engine oil contain contaminates
that may cause engine damage.
• Start the engine every 15 days. Run at fast idle until it reaches normal
operating temperature
• With your foot on the brake, shift through all the gears while the
engine is running.
Fuel system
• Fill the fuel tank with high-qualityfuel until the first automatic
shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.

1Use only Motorcraft DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or equivalent
meeting WSS-M6C65-A2 and ISO 4925 Class 6. Use of any fluid other than
the recommended fluid may cause brake system damage.
2Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.
3Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission
fluid should only use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission
damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page 436).
4See your authorized dealer for fluid level checking or filling.
5Your engine has been designed to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils
that meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of
recommended viscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays
the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines
6Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are
unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that is not covered by your Ford
warranty.
7Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.

Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that
pays dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and
resale value. To maintain the proper
performance of your vehicle and its
emission control systems, make sure
you have scheduled maintenance
performed at the designated intervals.
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system,
which displays a message in the
information display at the proper oil
change interval. This interval may be
up to one year or 10000 miles (16000
kilometers).
When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED appears in
the information display, it is time for
an oil change. Make sure you perform
the oil change within two weeks or
500 miles (800 kilometers) of the
ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED message
appearing. Make sure you reset the
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after each
oil change. See (page 101).
If your information display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative,
you should perform the oil change
interval at six months or 5000 miles
(8000 kilometers) from your last oil
change. Never exceed one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers)
between oil change intervals. Your vehicle is very sophisticated and
built with multiple, complex,
performance systems. Every
manufacturer develops these systems
using different specifications and
performance features. That is why it
is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and
repair your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has
recommended maintenance intervals
for various parts and component
systems based upon engineering
testing. Ford Motor Company relies
upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for
replacement of oils and fluids to
protect your vehicle at the lowest
overall cost to you and recommends
against maintenance schedules that
deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of
only genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the
recommended additives and
chemicals for your vehicle. We do not
recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part
of your vehicle’s normal maintenance.
Please consult your warranty
information.

Scheduled Maintenance

Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and,
by itself, does not necessarily indicate
a concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert,
such as the factory-trained
technicians at your dealership, should
inspect discolored fluids that also
show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination immediately.Make sure to change your vehicle’s
oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a
repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems
are flushed only with new fluid that is
the same as that required to fill and
operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following
basic maintenance checks and
inspections every month or at
six-month intervals.
Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level.
Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.

Scheduled Maintenance

Multi-Point inspection
Windshield for cracks, chips or pits
For oil and fluid leaks
Washer spray and wiper operation
Half-shaft dust boots
* Brake, coolant recovery reservoir, automatic transmission and window washer
**If your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit, check the tire sealant
expiration Use By date on the canister. Replace as needed.
Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the
multi-point vehicle inspection. It is a
comprehensive way to perform a
thorough inspection of your vehicle.
Your checklist gives you immediate
feedback on the overall condition of
your vehicle.
NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that
determines when you should change
the engine oil based on how your
vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations,
the monitor helps reduce the cost of
owning your vehicle and reduces
environmental waste at the same
time. This means you do not have to
remember to change the oil on a
mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle
lets you know when an oil change is
due by displaying ENGINE OIL
CHANGE DUE
or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the information display.
The following table provides
examples of vehicle use and its
impact on oil change intervals. It is a
guideline only. Actual oil change
intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity
of use.
