• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil, spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the area in and around these locations. • Cover the battery, power distribution box, and air filter assembly to prevent water damage when cleaning the engine. CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES Car wash chemicals and environmental fallout can result in windshield and wiper blade contamination. Dirty windshield and wipers will result in poor windshield wiper operation. Keep the windshield and wiper blades clean to maintain windshield wiper performance. To clean the windshield and wiper blades: • Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior of the windshield, avoid getting any glass cleaner on the instrument panel or door panels. Wipe any glass cleaner off these surfaces immediately. • For windshields contaminated with tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the entire windshield using steel wool (no greater than 0000 grade) in a circular motion and rinse with water. • Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl rubbing alcohol or windshield washer concentrate. Note: Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean or remove decals from the inside of the heated rear window. The vehicle warranty does not cover damage caused to the heated rear window grid lines. CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNINGS Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle ’s safety belts, as these actions may weaken the belt webbing. On vehicles equipped with seat-mounted airbags, do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents. Such products could contaminate the side airbag system and affect performance of the side airbag in a collision. For fabric, carpets, cloth seats, safety belts and seats equipped with side airbags: • Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. • Remove light stains and soil with Motorcraft Professional Strength Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. • If grease or tar is present on the material, spot-clean the area first with Motorcraft Spot and Stain Remover. In Canada, use Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Cleaner. • If a ring forms on the fabric after spot cleaning, clean the entire area immediately (but do not oversaturate) or the ring will set. • Do not use household cleaning products or glass cleaners, which can stain and discolor the fabric and affect the flame retardant abilities of the seat materials. 268 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Vehicle Care ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LENS WARNING Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents when cleaning the steering wheel or instrument panel to avoid contamination of the airbag system. Note: Follow the same procedure as cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces. See Cleaning Leather Seats (page 269). Clean the instrument panel and cluster lens with a clean, damp and soft cloth, then use a clean, dry and soft cloth to dry these areas. • Avoid cleaners or polishes that increase the gloss of the upper portion of the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect you from undesirable windshield reflection. • Do not use any household cleaning products or glass cleaners as these may damage the finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens. • Wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan lotion to avoid possible damage to the interior painted surfaces. • Do not allow air fresheners and hand sanitizers to spill onto interior surfaces. If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Your warranty may not cover these damages. If a staining liquid like coffee or juice has been spilled on the instrument panel or on interior trim surfaces: 1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, soft cloth as quickly as possible. 2. Use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially available leather cleaning product for automotive interiors. Test any cleaner or stain remover on an inconspicuous area. 3. Alternatively, wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth. 4. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product to a clean, soft cloth and press it onto the soiled area. Allow this to set at room temperature for 30 minutes. 5. Remove the soaked cloth, then with a clean, damp cloth, use a rubbing motion for 60 seconds on the soiled area. 6. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth. CLEANING LEATHER SEATS (If Equipped) Note: Follow the same procedure as cleaning leather seats for cleaning leather instrument panels and leather interior trim surfaces. For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth. For cleaning and removing stains such as dye transfer, use Motorcraft Premium Leather and Vinyl Cleaner or a commercially available leather cleaning product for automotive interiors. Note: Test any cleaner or stain remover on an inconspicuous area. 269 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Vehicle Care ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
You should: • Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. • Clean and treat spills and stains as soon as possible. Do not use the following products as these may damage the leather: • Oil and petroleum or silicone-based leather conditioners. • Household cleaners. • Alcohol solutions. • Solvents or cleaners intended specifically for rubber, vinyl and plastics. REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE Authorized dealers have touch-up paint to match your vehicle ’s color. Your vehicle color code is printed on a sticker on the front, left-hand side door jamb. Take your color code to your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color. Before repairing minor paint damage, use a cleaner such as Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover to remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots, road salt and industrial fallout. Always read the instructions before using cleaning products. CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to warm or hot wheel rims and covers. Note: Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your wheel rims and covers. Note: Industrial-strength or heavy-duty cleaners in combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust and dirt, could wear away the clear coat finish over a period time. Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergents. Note: If you intend parking your vehicle for an extended period after cleaning the wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your vehicle for a few minutes before doing so. This will reduce the risk of increased corrosion of the brake discs. Alloy wheels and wheel covers are coated with a clear coat paint finish. To maintain their condition we recommend that you: • Clean the wheels weekly using Motorcraft Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Apply using manufacturer's instructions. • Use a sponge to remove heavy deposits of dirt and brake dust accumulation. • 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.

General Information WARNING Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or death. Note: Do not use the kit if a tire has become severely damaged by driving the vehicle with a tire that has insufficient air pressure. Only punctured areas located within the tire tread can be sealed with the kit. Do not attempt to repair punctures larger than 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire's sidewall. The tire may not completely seal. Loss of air pressure may adversely affect tire performance. For this reason: Note: Do not drive the vehicle above 50 mph (80 km/h). Note: Do not drive further than 120 mi (200 km). Drive only to the closest authorized Ford dealer or tire repair shop to have your tire inspected. • Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers. • Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire. If the tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed. • Read the information in the Tips for Use of the Kit section to make sure safe operation of the kit and your vehicle. Tips for Use of the Kit To ensure safe operation of the kit: • Read all instructions and cautions fully. • Before operating the kit, make sure your vehicle is safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard lights. • Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle does not move unexpectedly. • Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the tire. • When using the kit, leave the engine running (only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the compressor does not drain the vehicle battery. • Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than 15 minutes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating. • Never leave the kit unattended when it is operating. • Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction. • Keep the kit away from children. • Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between -22°F (-30°C) and 158°F (70°C). • Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the sealant canister (bottle). Check the use by date regularly and replace the canister after four years. • Do not store the kit unsecured inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden stop or crash. Always store the kit in its original location. • After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer. • When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only. Do not use the transparent hose which is designed for sealant application only. • Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio, CD, and DVD player operation. 274 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and Tires ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
What to do when a Tire Is Punctured A tire puncture within the tire tread area can be repaired in two stages with the kit. • In the first stage, the tire will be reinflated with a sealing compound and air. After the tire has been reinflated, you will need to drive the vehicle a short distance 4 mi (6 km) to distribute the sealant in the tire. • In the second stage, you will need to check the tire pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle tire inflation pressure. First Stage: Reinflating the Tire with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS Do not stand directly over the kit while inflating the tire. If you notice any unusual bulges or deformations in the tire sidewall during inflation, stop and call roadside assistance. If the tire does not inflate to the recommended tire pressure within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure area, away from moving traffic. Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking brake and turn the engine off. Inspect the flat tire for visible damage. Sealant compound contains latex. To avoid any allergic reactions, use the non-latex gloves located in the accessory box on the underside of the kit housing. Do not remove any foreign object that has pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside assistance. 1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve. 2. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing. 3. Remove the tube cap and fasten the metal connector of the tube to the tire valve, turning clockwise. Make sure the connection is tightly fastened. 4. Plug the power cable into the 12-volt power point in the vehicle. 5. Remove the warning sticker found on the canister and place it on the top of the instrument panel or the center of the dash. 6. Start the vehicle only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. 7. Push and turn dial (A) counterclockwise to the sealant position. Turn on the kit by pressing the on/off button (B). 275 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and TiresE144619 E144924 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
8. Inflate the tire to the pressure specified by the tire label located on the driver door or the door jamb area. While the sealant compound is being pumped into the tire, the air pressure gauge will indicate a pressure above the actual tire pressure. This is normal and should be no reason for concern. The pressure gauge will provide a correct tire pressure reading after about 30 seconds of operation. The tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the off position to get an accurate tire pressure reading. 9. When the recommended tire pressure is reached, turn off the kit by pressing the on/off button. Disconnect the kit from the tire valve and the power point. Re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, place the tube cap on the metal connector, and return the kit to the stowage area 10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to distribute the sealant evenly inside the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). 11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and check the tire pressure. See Second stage: Checking tire pressure. Note: If you experience any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise while driving, reduce your speed until you can safely pull off to the side of the road to call for roadside assistance. Note: Do not proceed to the second stage of this operation. Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure WARNINGS If you are proceeding from the First stage: Re–inflating the tire with sealing compound and air section and have injected sealant in the tire and the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop and call roadside assistance. If tire pressure is above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue to the next step. The power plug may get hot after use and should be handled carefully while unplugging. Check the air pressure of your tires as follows: 1. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve. 2. Unhook the black hose from the side of the compressor and fasten firmly on the valve stem by turning clockwise. 3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit by pressing the on button. 276 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and TiresE144621 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
4. Adjust the tire to the recommended inflation pressure from the tire label located on the driver door or door jamb area. The tire pressure has to be checked with the compressor in the OFF position to get the correct tire pressure reading. 5. Turn the compressor off by pressing the on/off button. 6. When the tire pressure reading with the compressor in the off position is correct, disconnect the hose, re-install the valve cap on the tire valve, unplug the compressor, and return the kit to the stowage area. What to do after the Tire has been Sealed After using the kit to seal your tire, you will need to replace the sealant canister and clear tube (hose). You can obtain and replace sealing compound and spare parts at an authorized Ford dealer or tire dealer. Empty sealant bottles may be disposed of at home. However, liquid residue from the sealing compound should be disposed by your local Ford Motor Company dealer or tire dealer, or in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Note: After the sealing compound has been used, the maximum vehicle speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) and the maximum driving distance is 120 mi (200 km). The sealed tire should be inspected immediately. Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be replaced by an authorized Ford dealer. You can check the tire pressure any time within the 120 mi (200 km) by performing the procedure from Second stage: Checking tire pressure listed previously. Removal of the sealant canister from the kit 1. Unwrap the clear tube from the compressor housing. 2. Locate the yellow cap at the end of the clear tube. 277 Fusion/Mondeo (CC7) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Wheels and TiresE144622 E144623 E144624 ,QIRUPDWLRQ3URYLGHGE\
