Installing a garage door opener (if equipped)
The storage compartment can be converted to accommodate a variety of
aftermarket garage door openers:
•Place the Velcro hook onto the
side of the aftermarket
transmitter opposite of the
button.
•Place the transmitter into storage
compartment, button down.
•Place the provided height
adaptors onto the back of the
door as needed.
•Close the door.
•Press the depression in the door
to activate the transmitter.
Automatic dimming rear view mirror
The automatic dimming mirror is
equipped with an automatic
dimming feature. This feature will
change from the normal state to the
non-glare“active”state when bright
lights (glare) reach the mirror.
When the mirror detects bright light from behind, it will adjust
automatically to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal high reflective state
whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the
ON position). This helps to ensure a bright clear view in the mirror when
backing up.

Illuminated visor mirror
To turn on the visor mirror lamps,
lift the mirror cover.
AUXILIARY POWER POINT
Power outlets are designed for
accessory plugs only. Do not
hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not
covered by your warranty.
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use the power point.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts. Exceeding these
limits will result in a blown fuse.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.

WASHING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral
Ph shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3–A), which is available
from your dealer.
•Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish washing
or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted
surfaces.
•Never wash a vehicle that is“hot to the touch”or during exposure to
strong, direct sunlight.
•Always use a clean sponge or carwash mitt with plenty of water for
best results.
•Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order to
eliminate water spotting.
•It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the
winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause
damage to the vehicle.
•Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings
and insect deposits because they can cause damage to the vehicle’s
paintwork and trim over time.
•Remove any exterior accessories, such as antennas, before entering a
car wash.
•Suntan lotions and insect repellents can damage any painted
surface; if these substances come in contact with your vehicle,
wash off as soon as possible.
•If your vehicle is equipped with running boards, do not use
rubber, plastic and vinyl protectant products on the running
board surface, as the area may become slippery.
WAXING
Applying a polymer paint sealant to your vehicle every six months will
assist in reducing minor scratches and paint damage.
•Wash the vehicle first.
•Do not use waxes that contain abrasives.
•Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored trim, such as grained door handles, roof
racks, bumpers, side moldings, mirror housings or the windshield cowl
area. The paint sealant will“gray”or stain the parts over time.
