2006-2007 Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid Modifiers Guide.pdf
Taken from Introduction: This book is divided into topics pertinent to modifiers of vehicles. Reference is made to the current Escape/Mariner Hybrid Workshop Manual for appropriate service procedures, torque specifications, component separation clearances and other standard information which is common with the unmodified vehicle. Specifications which are unique to the guide are designated.
This modifier guide is not a ‘‘how-to’’ book; it should be used as a checklist to help make sure that certain important steps in the modification process are considered. While Ford is providing this information to assist modifiers, it does not warrant the products, methods, materials or the workmanship of the modifier. Nor does it warrant against failures that result from the modification of a vehicle.
Following the guidelines contained in this guide does not assure individual modifiers that the products they modify comply with U.S. Federal or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect at the time of the modification. The guidelines set forth are based on engineering analysis of typical vehicles. If followed, the modifier’s efforts in certifying vehicles to applicable standards should be aided. Compliance testing that may be required for certification of specific vehicle configurations or construction is, however, the sole responsibility of the individual modifier.
