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, make sure that loose clothing, jewelry or

long hair does not 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 Battery

in this chapter.

Working with the engine off

• Automatic transmission:

1. Set the parking brake and

ensure the gearshift is securely latched in P (Park).

2. Turn off the engine and remove the key.

3. Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.

• Manual transmission:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Depress the clutch and place the gearshift in 1 (First).
