SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS

To help you service your vehicle:
• We highlight do-it-yourself items in the engine compartment for easy

location.

• We provide scheduled maintenance information which makes

tracking routine service easy.

If your vehicle requires professional service, your dealership can provide
the necessary parts and service. Check your Warranty Guide/Owner
Information 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 lit material away from the battery and

all fuel related parts.

High Voltage Information

Exposure to high voltage may result in severe personal injury or
death. High voltage components must be serviced by a trained

service technician.

Your vehicle consists of various high voltage components and wiring. All
of the high voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange stripe tape. Do not come in contact with these components.

The following are specific locations in the rear cargo area that consist of
high voltage components and/or wiring.
