SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

To help you service your vehicle, we provide scheduled maintenance
information
which makes tracking routine service easy.

If your vehicle requires professional service, your authorized dealer can
provide the 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
• Do not work on a hot engine.
• Make sure that nothing gets caught 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 open flames and other burning material (such as cigarettes)

away from the battery and all fuel related parts.
