Warnings, Notices and Notes
WARNINGS
Warnings provide information to avoid personal injury and to make sure service actions on critical safety systems are
performed correctly. Warnings that apply to an entire system or workshop manual section are located in section 100-00
Description and Operation, Health and Safety Precautions.
For additional information, refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and
Operation).
NOTICES (in some publications, CAUTIONS)
Notices provide information to avoid damage to the vehicle or a component.
NOTES
Notes provide information critical for a complete and effective repair.
Warnings, Notices, or Notes that apply to an entire procedure will be placed at the beginning of the procedure. Warnings,
Notices, or Notes that apply to a single step are placed at the beginning of the step. Those that apply to a group of steps will
be placed at the first step requiring it.
Safety Relevant Systems
Repair of a vehicle safety relevant system is to be achieved only by replacement of the failed component(s), unless specified
otherwise in the procedure. Repair of a vehicle safety relevant system component should not be attempted.
If directed during assembly of system components, lubricate any seal(s) only with the specified material. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in seal failure and leakage.
Specified Chemicals or Materials
Throughout this manual, chemicals or materials are specified that must be used to properly complete a service procedure or
diagnostic step. In the event a specific material is not readily available, a substitute material meeting the same specification
may be used. Ford has not reviewed third party products for compliance with environmental, health or safety regulations and
is not responsible for their use. Use of third party products is at your own risk. Additionally, such products may cause
degraded performance, premature failures, and/or vehicle component damage. All chemicals or materials used for vehicle
servicing should be checked for compliance with local environmental and health and safety regulations.

Standard Practices
The following rules apply, unless specified differently in the procedure:
FASTENERS
Reuse standard fasteners.
Replace fasteners with self-locking features.
Examples of fastener self-locking coatings or mechanical locking (with the locking features highlighted yellow)
are shown in the illustration.
Examples of self-locking nuts and bolts

Item Part Number Description
1 — Completely coated self-locking bolt
2 — Partially coated self-locking bolt
3 — Self-locking bolt with a locking washer
4 — Self-locking nut with a plastic locking insert
5 — Self-locking nut with thread deformation (3 indentations)
6 — Self-locking nut with thread deformation (to oval shape)
7 — Self-locking nut with integrated locking ring
THREAD FORMING FASTENERS
The following is a general description of best practices to be followed during handling of thread forming fasteners and
mating components.
Manual Torque Application
Hand tools are required for installation of a thread forming fastener. Do NOT use power tools, as the possibility for over-
torqueing or stripped threads exists. If a fastener is over-torqued, the joint can fail.
Hand Start Fasteners in Reverse
To avoid the possibility of cross-threading pre-existing threads during fastener replacement, begin by first hand-inserting the
new fastener and rotating counter-clockwise. This reverse rotation allows for the location of existing fastener threads to
ensure the fastener does not cross-thread upon thread re-engagement. Once the existing fastener threads are located, hand-
start individual fasteners manually until finger tight.
Risks of Over-Torque
Consult the Workshop Manual procedure when torqueing thread forming fasteners and follow torque specification as listed.
Make sure the fastener is fully seated against the mating component with no gap during reassembly.
Corrosion

During fastener replacement, inspect both fastener and mating component for signs of rust or other corrosion. If corrosion is
found, replace corroded components with new components.
Stripped Threads
If internal (mating component) threads or external (fastener) threads appear stripped or galled, replace both fastener and
mating component. When tightening, if minimum torque is not reached, internal threads on mating component may have
stripped. Remove the fastener to inspect and replace mating component if stripped threads are found.
Face Seals
When replacing fasteners, inspect mating component surface for debris, damage, disturbance, wear, or abrasion and replace
any seals or gaskets if damage is found.
SEALS AND GASKETS
Replace seals and gaskets, unless specified differently in the procedure.
EXTERIOR TRIM PARTS
Replace exterior trim parts fastened with glue or adhesive tape, unless specified differently in the procedure.
Mechanical Procedures
Illustrations in this manual may be used instead of written step instructions. Color-coding (see color scheme illustration) is
used to communicate the required step action or actions. Service action icons may be used to add information regarding the
required action.
For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

ILLUSTRATION TASK SEQUENCE
Components that must be removed or installed in a specific sequence are identified with a numbered callout. Any associated
step text is numbered accordingly.
Simple procedure example showing color-coding and task sequence.
Black arrows are used to draw attention to components (usually fasteners). Arrows with multiples specified (here, x2)
identify an identical number of fasteners or items. Callouts (numbers inside circles) show a required sequence or tightening
torque.
In the illustration, the callouts indicate the removal sequence, which is reversed for installation. The yellow coloring of the
hose indicates it is to be positioned aside (not removed). Two identical (magenta-colored) fasteners are indicated by the x2

arrow. The fasteners in this illustration require different torques (same torque for the x2 fasteners) so numbered callouts are
used to identify them with torque values in the associated step text. The (magenta-colored) hose clamp is another fastener to
be removed.
Examples of fastener removal sequence and an identical service action for 12 fasteners. Other possible symbols are
shown on the right.
