Have your vehicle serviced regularly to keep it in good running order and to preserve its resale value.

An extensive network of authorised Ford repairers is at your service. Authorised repairers are the best qualified to provide quality maintenance for your vehicle; they have access to many specialist tools for this purpose.

In addition to regular maintenance, we recommend carrying out the following checks.

WARNINGS

  • Switch off the ignition before any work or adjustment.
  • Do not touch electronic ignition system components once the ignition is on or when the engine is running. The system uses high voltages.
  • Keep your hands and clothing away from the cooling fan. Under certain conditions, the fan may continue to run for several minutes after the engine is switched off.
  • Make sure the filler caps are securely fitted after carrying out maintenance checks.

Daily checks

  • Exterior lights.
  • Interior lights.
  • Warning lights and indicators.

  • Brake fluid level. See Brake and Clutch Fluid Check
  • Washer fluid level. See Checking the washer fluid
  • Tyre pressures (cold tyres). See Tyre pressures (page 271).
  • Tyre condition. See Wheels and tyres (page 257).

Monthly checks

  • Coolant level (engine cold). See Checking the coolant (page 243).
  • Check pipes, hoses and reservoirs for leaks.
  • Check air conditioning operation.
