Ford Fusion 2 Manual

							Note:
Contamination with dirt, water,
petroleum products or other materials may
result in brake failure or costly repairs.
Note: The brake and the clutch systems are
supplied from the same reservoir.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification.  See Technical
Specifications (page 109). WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note:
The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir.
When topping up, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.

*  Providing it meets the specification defined by WSS-M2C913-C, you can also use Ford
Engine Oil or an alternative engine oil.
Topping up the oil:
 If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C, you must use SAE 5W-30 (preferred), SAE 5W-40 (except vehicles
with E85 fuel) or SAE 10W-40 that meets the specification defined by either ACEA
A5/B5 (preferred) or ACEA A3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine cranking
periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission
levels. CAUTION
Do not use oils which do not meet the specifications or requirements. Use of
unsuitable oil may lead to engine damage which is not covered by the Ford Warranty.
Note:
If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C (68°F), you must not use
SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Castrol engine oil recommended.

							CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the
wax from the windscreen.
CAUTIONS
Prior to using a car wash facility check
the suitability of it for your vehicle.
Some car wash installations use
water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh air
filter.
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
Cleaning the headlamps
CAUTIONS
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window. Cleaning the chrome trim CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
Body paintwork preservation
CAUTIONS
Do not polish your vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the windscreen
or rear window. This could cause the
wipers to become noisy and they may
not clear the window properly. We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR

							GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre
sizes. Using other sizes could damage
the vehicle and will make the National
Type Approval invalid. If you change the diameter of the tyres
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the
correct speed. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed. A decal with tyre pressure data is located
in the driver
’s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when the
tyres are cold.
Tyre pressures WARNING
If the vehicle is used with a roof load
or is fully laden the tyres must be set
to the full load tyre pressure settings.
Driving at normal tyre pressures will
improve ride comfort; however it will alter
the driving characteristics and fuel
consumption of the vehicle.
For optimum dynamic performance the
recommended tyre pressure setting is 2.4
bar (35 psi) front and 2.2 bar (32 psi) rear.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Locking wheel nuts
You can obtain a replacement locking
wheel nut key and replacement locking
wheel nuts from your dealer using the
reference number certificate. Vehicles with a temporary spare
wheel WARNINGS
If the spare wheel differs from the
other fitted wheels, these rules must
be followed:
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Drive the shortest possible distances.
Do not fit more than one spare wheel
on your vehicle at any one time.
Do not use snow chains on this type
of wheel.
Note:
Your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Vehicle jack WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with your
vehicle should only be used when
changing a wheel in emergency
situations. Before using the vehicle jack, check
that it is not damaged or deformed
and that the thread is lubricated and
free from foreign matter. Never place anything between the
jack and the ground, or the jack and
the vehicle.
Note:
Vehicles with a tyre repair kit are not
equipped with a vehicle jack or a wheel
brace.
It is recommended to use a workshop type
hydraulic jack for changing between
summer and winter tyres.
