Raising the Rear Wing
For routine cleaning raise the wing.
Using the information display select the
following:
1.
Rear wing deployment.
2. Select Raise.
After you have cleaned your vehicle, you
must drive the car at 15 mph (25 km/h)or
above. The wing will return to the lowered
position.
Note:
You cannot lower the wing when your
vehicle is stationary.
Exterior Plastic Parts
For routine cleaning we recommend
Motorcraft® Detail Wash. If tar or grease
spots are present, we recommend
Motorcraft® Bug and Tar Remover.
Under Hood
For removing black rubber marks from
under the hood we recommend
Motorcraft® Wheel and Tire Cleaner or
Motorcraft® Bug and Tar Remover.
WAXING
Note:
If your vehicle has a matte paint
finish, do not wax your vehicle.
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
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.
•
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:
•
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.
•
Never spray water on electrical
components such as modules,
connectors and fuse boxes. Cover all
electrical components before cleaning
to prevent water damage.
