•
Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream
of water when you have completed the
cleaning process.
•
To remove tar and grease, use
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
VEHICLE STORAGE
If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
days or more, read the following
maintenance recommendations to make
sure your vehicle stays in good operating
condition.
We engineer and test all motor vehicles
and their components for reliable, regular
driving. Under various conditions,
long-term storage may lead to degraded
engine performance or failure unless you
use specific precautions to preserve engine
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 the underside of front fenders.
•
Periodically wash your vehicle if it is
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 you wash your vehicle.
•
Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.
•
Cover interior trim to prevent fading.
•
Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.
Engine
•
Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminates which may
cause engine damage.
•
Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast idle
with the climate controls set to defrost
until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
•
With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running.
•
We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.
Fuel system
•
Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.
Cooling system
•
Protect against freezing temperatures.
•
When removing your vehicle from
storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm that there are no cooling
system leaks and that fluid is at the
recommended level.
