INSTALLATION OF AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
To avoid any damage to the vehicle, check with an Authorised Ford
Dealer to ensure correct installation of auxiliary equipment. Fitment of
some non-Ford accessories (such as alarms and other electronically
controlled devices) may affect normal vehicle operation due to
electromagnetic interference emitted by these accessories.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Improper or incomplete servicing may result in operating
problems. This section gives instructions only for those relatively
easy items that an owner may wish to perform.
When it comes to the operations which are essential for the reliability
and roadworthiness of your vehicle, keep to the service intervals shown
in the Service Guide. We recommend that you always take your vehicle
to an Authorised Ford Dealer for its service requirements.
Things that you must do
Check and top up fluid levels regularly. Check the tire pressures and the
correct operation of brakes and lights. Check the warning lights. Refer to
the Maintenance chart.
If any of the underbonnet fluid levels drop significantly or require
topping up frequently, have the system inspected by an Authorised Ford
Dealer.
