Servicing Your Continental
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 - 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.
Ford Motor Company recommends that the Owner
Maintenance Checks listed in the
Maintenance
Schedule and Record
booklet be performed for the
proper operation of your vehicle. In addition to the
conditions listed in the
Owner Maintenance
Checklist,
be alert for any unusual noise, vibration, or other
indication that your vehicle may need service. If you
do notice something unusual, see that your vehicle is
serviced promptly.
