Aiming the headlamps
Your vehicle is equipped with a
variable headlamp aiming device
(VHAD) on each headlamp
reflector extension and headlamp
housing. Each headlamp may be
properly aimed in the horizontal
direction and the vertical direction
by performing the following steps.
The horizontal aim must be
adjusted first. This procedure
requires the use of a 4 mm box
wrench or open end wrench.
Position the vehicle on a surface
that is level in the front-to-rear
direction.
If the vehicle cannot be placed on
a true level surface, the headlamps
still can be adjusted using the
VHAD if the slope of the surface is
accurately known and does not
differ by more than 30.5 mm (1.2
in) from true level.
173
Maintenance and care
Adjustingthehorizontalaim 1. With the hood open, locate the horizontal indicator and adjusting screw. 2. Use a 4 mm wrench to turn the horizontal adjusting screw until the reference mark on the reflector extension aligns with the ‘‘O’’ reference mark on the horizontal indicator when viewed directly from above. 3. When the horizontal aim has been adjusted, close the headlamp access panel. Adjustingtheverticalaim 1. Do not adjust the vertical aim until after adjusting the horizontal aim. 2. With the hood open, locate the bubble level vertical aim indicator. It is visible when viewed from above the rear of the headlamp. 3. With the vehicle on a level surface, use a 4 mm wrench to turn the vertical aim adjustment screw (outboard screw) located on the back of the lamp assembly clockwise or counterclockwise until the bubble in the spirit level is centered when viewed from directly above the bubble. 4. Close the hood. If the vehicle is on a downward or upward slope of not more than 1.2°, the VHAD’s bubble level can be used to correct for the effects of the surface slope, provided that the slope is accurately known.
174
Each graduation of the bubble level represents 0.19° of downward or upward slope. To correct for the effects of surface slope, turn the vertical aim adjustment screw until the bubble is centered at a position corresponding to the slope of the surface.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE Contact your dealer for more information on recommended cleaners and their availability in your area.
Washing your vehicle Wash your vehicle regularly with cold or lukewarm water. Never use strong detergents or soap. If your vehicle is particularly dirty, use a quality car shampoo. Always use a clean sponge and plenty of water for best results. We recommend that you have the underbody of your vehicle washed at the end of the winter to remove deposits left by snow, salt, and water. Wax the body paintwork of your vehicle several times a year. This will help to retain the glossy paintwork finish and water droplets will run off more easily.
Remove any after dealer accessories, such as
antennae, before entering a commercial car wash.
Maintenance and care
175
Maintenance and care
After washing your vehicle, apply the brakes several times to dry them.
Repairing paint chips Minor scratches or paint damage from road chippings may be camouflaged with Ford exterior lacquer touch-up paint, AL81-XXXX-B or ALBZ-19500-XXXXA. XXXX indicates the code, meeting Ford specification ESR-M2P100-C. Follow the application instructions on the product. Be sure to remove aggressive particles such as bird droppings, tree resins, insect remains, tar spots, and road salt, that may damage your paint.
Cleaning the wheels Wash the wheels with the same detergent used to clean the body of your vehicle. Do not use acid based wool cleaners, steel wool, fuel, or strong detergents. Never use abrasives that will damage the finish of special wheel surfaces. Use a tar and road oil remover to remove grease and tar.
Cleaning plastic parts Some of the vehicle’s trim parts are plastic. Clean with a tar and road oil remover if necessary. Use a vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents, or petroleum based cleaners.
176
Cleaning the instrument panel Any cleaner or polish that increases the gloss of the upper portion of the instrument panel should be avoided. The dull finish in this area is to help protect the driver from windshield reflection.
Cleaning the exterior lamps Do not use dry paper towels, chemical solvents, or abrasive cleaners to clean the lamps; these products may cause scratches or crack the lamps.
Cleaning the engine A clean engine is more efficient than a dirty one because a buildup of grease and dirt acts as an insulator and keeps the engine warmer than normal. Follow these guidelines to clean your engine: † Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The high pressure fluid could penetrate sealed parts and cause damage.
† In order to avoid cracking the engine block or fuel injection pump, do not spray these components with cold water. † The alternator and air intake must be covered to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine. † Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in a running engine may cause internal damage.
Maintenance and care
177
Maintenance and care
Cleaning the wiper blades If the blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and the wiper blades using undiluted windshield washer solution or a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents to clean the wiper blades; these fluids will damage the blades.
Cleaning the built-in child seat Clean the built in child seat with mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning products because they may weaken the safety belt webbing or damage the vinyl parts of the seat. The child seat liner is removable and may be machine washed and air dried.
Cleaning and maintaining the safety belts Clean the safety belts with a mild soap solution recommended for cleaning upholstery or carpets. Do not bleach or dye the belts; this may weaken the belt webbing. Check the safety belt system periodically to ensure there are no nicks, wear, or cuts. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, have all the safety belts and child seat anchoring brackets (if equipped) examined by a qualified technician.
