Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance
Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and
resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why we’ve put together the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide. It outlines the services required to properly maintain your vehicle and when they
should be performed. The focus is on maintaining your vehicle while it’s running great, which goes a long
way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later.
Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on the road to routine maintenance:
•Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through yourOwner’s Guide
•Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide
•Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance

Protect your warranty!
Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle running great, it’s also the best
way to protect your warranty. While maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or
by any automotive service provider you choose, it is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance
is performed and that the materials used meet Ford Engineering specifications. Failure to perform
scheduled maintenance specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the
lack of maintenance. We can’t stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. This guide
will help you do just that. Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is
no documentation.However, damage or failures due to neglect or a lack of proper maintenance
are not covered under warranty.
Keeping maintenance records is easy with the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide
It’s important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. Every time you bring your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance, be sure to present this guide and certify the work. Also record the date of service,
mileage at the time of service, and attach your receipt. This will make record keeping easy and,
should your vehicle ever require warranty coverage, you will have all the documentation to show you’ve
properly maintained it.
Maintenance Interval
Ford Motor Company establishes recommended maintenance intervals based upon engineering testing to
determine the most appropriate mileage to perform the various maintenance services. This protects your vehicle
at the lowest overall cost to you. Ford Motor Company recommends that you not deviate from the
maintenance schedules presented in this Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
