NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™

Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
you use your vehicle. By using several

important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your
vehicle and reduces environmental waste at
the same time.

This means you do not have to remember to
change the oil on a mileage-based schedule.
Your vehicle lets you know when an oil
change is due by displaying a message in
the information display.

The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of use.

useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the

specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.

Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter

COMPATIBILITY

WARNING: Do not place objects or

mount equipment on or near the airbag
cover, on the side of the seatbacks (of the
front seats), or in front seat areas that may
come into contact with a deploying airbag.
Failure to follow these instructions may

cables to original vehicle wiring, fuel pipes
and brake pipes.

WARNING: Keep antenna and power

cables at least 4 in (10 cm) from any
electronic modules and airbags.

Note: We test and certify your vehicle to

legislation (UNECE Regulation 10 or other
applicable local requirements). It is your
responsibility to make sure that any
equipment an authorized dealer installs on
your vehicle complies with applicable local
legislation and other requirements.
