Servicing Your Escort - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

Servicing Your Escort

Service Made Easy
Ford has two goals for servicing your vehicle.
1. When we can, we design parts that do not
need to be serviced.
2. We want to make servicing your vehicle as
easy as possible. To help you:
We highlight do-it-yourself items in yellow in
the engine compartment so that you can find
them easily.
When possible, we design parts — such as
the headlamp bulbs — that can be replaced
without tools.
We give you a Maintenance Schedule that
makes tracking routine service for your
vehicle easy. The maintenance schedule is
located in the Maintenance Schedule and Record
booklet.
This chapter tells you about the basic parts that
you need to check and service regularly.
If your vehicle needs professional servicing, your
dealership can provide the parts and service
required. Check your Warranty Information Booklet
to find out which parts and services are covered.
Also see the Customer Assistance chapter of this
owner guide.
For more information concerning the
maintenance and service of your vehicle, see
Understanding the Emission Control System in this
chapter.
