Ford Escape: General Information / Description and Operation - Engine Cooling System Health and Safety Precautions
WARNING:
Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling
system. Do not unscrew the coolant pressure relief cap when the engine
is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system is under
pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is
loosened slightly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not work on the fuel system until the pressure has been
released and the engine has cooled. Fuel in the high-pressure fuel
system is hot and under very high pressure...
WARNING:
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel
system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent
accidental spraying of fuel...
Other information:
Note: Depending on your vehicle option
package, the controls may look different
from what you see here.
Note: For Hybrid vehicles, the air
conditioning compressor may run and
airflow may be felt when the climate control
is off to provide cooling to the battery...
WARNING: When refueling always
shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes...
