MKZ (CC9) Introduction E162384 E71340

When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle
before applying wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not
contain abrasives.
• Follow the manufacturer ’s
instructions to apply and remove
the wax.
• Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in
circles.
• Do not allow wax to come in
contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim.
The wax will discolor or stain the
parts over time.
•Roof racks.
• Bumpers.
• Grained door handles.
• Side mouldings.
• Mirror housings.
• Windshield cowl area.
• Do not apply wax to glass areas.
• After waxing, your car's paint
should feel smooth, and be free of
streaks and smudges.
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
Clean your windows and wiper blades
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.

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 to
remove 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 be
changed 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-quality
fuel until the first automatic
shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.

The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the engine if the correct
air filter element is not used.
2 Only use the specified replacement oil filter. The use of a non-specified oil
filter can result in engine damage.
3 For spark plug replacement, see your authorized dealer. Replace the spark
plugs at the appropriate intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 444).
Note: Replace the spark plugs with ones that meet Ford material and design
specifications for your vehicle, such as Motorcraft or equivalent replacement
parts. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the engine if such
spark plugs are not used.
