SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

To help you service your vehicle:

We highlight do-it-yourself items in the engine
compartment for easy location.

We provide a “Service Guide” which makes
tracking routine service easy.

If your vehicle requires professional service, your
dealership can provide necessary parts and service.
Check your “Warranty Guide” to find out which parts
and services are covered.

Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids and
service parts conforming to specifications. Motorcraft
parts are designed and built to provide the best
performance in your vehicle.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING YOUR
VEHICLE

Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing
your vehicle.

Do not work on a hot engine.

When the engine is running, avoid wearing loose
clothing, jewelry or long hair that could get
caught up in moving parts.

Do not work on a vehicle with the engine running
in an enclosed space, unless you are sure you
have enough ventilation.

Keep all lit cigarettes, open flames and other lit
material away from the battery and all fuel related
parts.

If you disconnect the battery, the engine must
“relearn” its idle conditions before your vehicle will
drive properly, as explained in the

Battery

section in

this chapter.

Working with the engine off

1. Set the parking brake, and ensure the gearshift is
securely latched in park.
