noise may occur after the track burnish or
track use. Perform this procedure in a safe
manner on dry pavement, and in
compliance with all local and state
ordinances and laws regarding motor
vehicle operation.

How to Burnish the Brakes

Initial low temperature bedding:
•

If your brakes already have 200 mi
(322 km) or more of city driving, skip
this step and go directly to the high
temperature bedding cycle procedure.
Otherwise, perform at least 30 stops
from 50 mph (80 km/h) at 1/3 g
deceleration with 1 mi (1.2 km) spacing
between stops. A deceleration gauge
can be accessed through the
TrackApps menu in your information
display.

High temperature bedding cycle:
•

Beginning with cool brakes, perform 15
consecutive stops back to back,
accelerating at 3/4 throttle to 80 mph
(128 km/h) and braking to 20 mph
(32 km/h) at 1.0 g deceleration. The
brakes may omit an odor or smoke
during this part of the procedure.

Cool down:
•

Cool the brakes down by driving one or
two laps, 5 mi (8 km), at 60 mph
(96 km/h) with minimal to no brake
usage.

Recovery low temperature bedding:
•

Perform at least 30 stops from 50 mph
(80 km/h) at 1/3 g deceleration with
0.7 mi (1.2 km) spacing between stops.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR -
MACH 1

Washing Your Vehicle

Note:

Do not use a touchless car wash or

any kind of commercial car wash equipment
with front splitter wickers installed.

Note:

Always hand wash your vehicle if you

have vinyl stripes.

Do not drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash due to
the vehicle’s low ground clearance and tire
width. Wash your vehicle by hand, or by
using a commercial wash with no
mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not use
a power washer or high pressure wand.

To maintain proper cooling and
aerodynamics at high speeds, your vehicle
has heat exchangers integrated with the
front fascia designed to maximize
performance. Do not use a power washer
or high powered spray nozzle as damage
to the cooling fins could occur.

Note:

For heavy accumulation of debris or

dirt, clean with a non-metallic soft bristle
car wash brush and warm soapy water as
needed.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, we recommend Motorcraft
Detail Wash.

•

Never use strong household detergents
or soap, for example dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.

•

Never wash your vehicle when it is hot
to the touch, or during strong or direct
sunlight.

•

Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel to eliminate water
spotting.

•

Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
These may cause damage to your
vehicle’s paintwork or trim over time.
We recommend Motorcraft Bug and
Tar Remover.

294

Vehicle Care

•

Remove any exterior accessories, for
example antennas, before entering a
car wash.

•

When filling with AdBlue®, remove any
residue on painted surfaces
immediately.

Note:

Suntan lotions and insect repellents

can damage painted surfaces. If these
substances come in contact with your
vehicle, wash the affected area as soon as
possible.

Cleaning the Exterior Precautions

Immediately remove fuel spillages, AdBlue
residuals, bird droppings, insect deposits
and road tar. These may cause damage to
your vehicle’s paintwork or trim over time.

Remove any exterior accessories, for
example antennas, before entering a car
wash.

Cleaning the Exterior Lamps

Note:

Do not scrape the exterior lamps

lenses or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents
or chemical solvents to clean them.

Note:

Do not wipe the exterior lamps when

they are dry.

Exterior Chrome Parts

•

Apply a high quality-cleaning product
to bumpers and other chrome parts.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
We recommend Motorcraft Custom
Bright Metal Cleaner.

•

Do not apply the cleaning product to
hot surfaces. Do not leave the cleaning
product on chrome surfaces longer
than the time recommended.

•

Using non-recommended cleaners can
result in severe and permanent
cosmetic damage.

Note:

Never use abrasive materials, for

example steel wool or plastic pads as they
can scratch the chrome surface.

Note:

Do not use chrome cleaner, metal

cleaner or polish on wheels or wheel covers.

Exterior Plastic Parts

For routine cleaning we recommend
Motorcraft Detail Wash. If tar or grease
spots are present, we recommend
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.

Vehicle Care

WAXING

Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.

When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before
applying wax.

•

Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.

•

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
to apply and remove the wax.

•

Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.

•

Do not allow wax to come in contact
with any non-body (low-gloss black)
colored trim. The wax will discolor or
stain the parts over time.
•

Roof racks.

•

Bumpers.

•

Grained door handles.

•

Side moldings.

•

Mirror housings.

•

Windshield cowl area.

•

Do not apply wax to glass areas.

•

After waxing, your car's paint should
feel smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.

CLEANING THE ENGINE -
MACH 1

Note:

Do not allow water or cleaning

solutions to contact the exposed air filter
element. Cover the air filter assembly and
avoid spraying water at it.

CLEANING THE ENGINE

Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.

When washing:
•

Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.

•

Do not spray a hot engine with cold
water to avoid cracking the engine
block or other engine components.

•

Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine
Shampoo.

Note:

If your vehicle has an engine cover

remove the cover before application of
Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser.
Immediately rinse away any over spray.

•

Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.

•

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.

Note:

Do not allow water or cleaning

solutions to contact the exposed air filter
element. Cover the air filter assembly and
avoid spraying water at it.

Vehicle Care

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

WARNING:

Do not use cleaning

solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.

WARNING:

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 crash.

For fabric, carpets, cloth seats 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.

materials.
