Maintenance and Care

[MC00200(ALL)01/96]

How Ford Makes Servicing Your Vehicle
Easy

[MC00300(ALL)01/96]

Ford has two goals for servicing your vehicle.

[MC00400(ALL)01/96]

When we can, we design parts that do not need to be
serviced.

[MC00500(ALL)01/96]

We want to make servicing your vehicle as easy as possible.
To help you:

[MC00600(ALL)01/96]

■

We highlight do-it-yourself items in yellow in your engine
compartment so that you can find them easily.

[MC00700(ALL)03/96]

■

When possible, we design parts that can be replaced without
tools.

[MC00800(ALL)07/96]

■

We give you a Maintenance Schedule booklet that makes
tracking routine service for your vehicle easy.

[MC00900(ALL)01/96]

This chapter tells you about the basic parts that you need to
check and service regularly.

[MC01000(ALL)01/96]

If you need professional servicing, see the chapter on Customer
Assistance in this Owner Guide.

[MC01100(ALL)01/96]

Check your Warranty Information Booklet to find out which parts
are covered.

[MC01200(ALL)01/96]

Precautions When Servicing Your Vehicle

[MC01300(ALL)01/96]

Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing your vehicle.
Here are some general precautions for your safety:

[MC01400(ALL)04/96]

■

If you must work with the engine running, avoid wearing
loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving
parts.

[MC01500(ALL)01/96]

■

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