Maintenance And Care - Ford 1998 Windstar Owner's Manual

How Ford Makes Servicing Your Vehicle
Easy
Ford has two goals for servicing your vehicle.
When we can, we design parts that do not need to be
1.
serviced.
We want to make servicing your vehicle as easy as possible.
2.
To help you:
We highlight do-it-yourself items in yellow in your engine
compartment so that you can find them easily.
When possible, we design parts that can be replaced without
tools.
We give you a Maintenance Schedule booklet that makes
tracking routine service for your vehicle easy.
This chapter tells you about the basic parts that you need to
check and service regularly.
If you need professional servicing, see the chapter on Customer
Assistance in this Owner Guide.
Check your Warranty Information Booklet to find out which parts
are covered.
Precautions When Servicing Your Vehicle
Be especially careful when inspecting or servicing your vehicle.
Here are some general precautions for your safety:
If you must work with the engine running, avoid wearing
loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving
parts.
Do not work on a vehicle in an enclosed space with the
engine running, unless you are sure you have enough
ventilation.
