PROTECTION FROM

The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
❒
atmospheric pollution;
❒
salty air and humidity (coastal areas
or hot humid climates);
❒
seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the
abrasive action of wind-borne
atmospheric dust and sand and mud and
gravel raised by other cars.
On your car, Ford implemented the
best manufacturing technologies to
effectively protect the bodywork against
corrosion.
These are the most important
technologies:
❒
Painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to
corrosion and abrasion;
❒
use of galvanised (or pre-treated)
steel sheets with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒
spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, wheelhouse internal
parts and other parts with highly
protective wax products;

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reservoir:
see “Checking fluid levels” in this
section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged, if necessary use a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by
adjusting the angle of the nozzles.
Fluid jets shall be directed at about
