High-pressure cleaner
It is extremely important to follow
the operating instructions for the
high-pressure cleaner, in particular
with regard to the pressure (max.
80 bar) and the spraying distance
(min. 30 cm), since serious damage
to delicate parts could be caused.
Flat spray nozzles are
recommended. Do not direct the jet
nozzle towards the radiator, the
alternator or the suspension ball
joints.
Note: Do not use round spray
nozzles.
Remember to include regular
underbody washing during the
winter to remove corrosive salt.
Washing by hand
Rinse with plenty of water if using a
car shampoo. Dry the vehicle with a
chamois leather.
Gently apply the brakes
several times whilst driving,
to remove the moisture from the
brake discs.
Cleaning the instrument panel
It is recommended that you clean
the instrument panel with a soft
brush or use warm water and a
non-fluffy cloth. For special
cleaning products, ask your Ford
Dealer.
Cleaning the headlights
To avoid damaging the clear plastic
headlight lens do not use aggressive
abrasives or chemical solvents. Do
not wipe the lights when they are
dry or use sharp objects to clean
the lenses.
Underbody preservation
The underbody of your vehicle has
been treated against corrosion. The
underbody preservation should be
checked regularly and, if necessary,
touched up by an expert. Ford
authorized repairers are
recommended.
Cleaning wheels
Depending on the distance
travelled, clean the wheels weekly
to avoid staining by brake dust. Use
wheel cleaner or warm water and a
soft sponge. Never use abrasives.
These will damage the special
surface finish. Ford Wheel Cleaner
is recommended.
