Maintenance and care
234
If other than Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford authorized parts are used for
maintenance replacements or for
service of components affecting
emissions control, such nonĆFord
parts should be equivalent to
genuine Ford Motor Company parts
in performance and durability.
Do not park, idle, or drive
your vehicle in dry grass or
other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust
system, which can start a fire.
Watch for fluid leaks, strange odors,
smoke, loss of oil pressure, engine
overheating, illumination of the
charging system" warning light or
the check engine" warning light.
These events could indicate that
the emission control system is not
working properly.
Exhaust leaks may result in
the entry of harmful and
potentially lethal fumes into the
passenger compartment.
