Lincoln Navigator (2001) four-wheel driving [17/20] Maintenance and modifications

Inspect the tire side walls for cuts,

bruises and other damage. If

internal damage to the tire is

suspected, have the tire

demounted and inspected in case

it needs to be repaired or replaced.

MAINTENANCE AND

MODIFICATIONS

The suspension and steering

systems on your vehicle have been

designed and tested to provide

both reasonably safe, predictable

performance whether loaded or

empty and durable load carrying

capability. For this reason, Ford

strongly recommends that you do

not make modifications such as

adding or removing parts (such as

lift kits or stabilizer bars) or by

using replacement parts not

equivalent to the original factory

equipment.

Any modifications to a vehicle that

raise the center of gravity can

make it more likely the vehicle will

roll over as a result of a loss of

control. Ford recommends that

caution be used with any vehicle

equipped with a high load or

device (such as ladder racks or

pickup box cover).

Failure to maintain your vehicle

properly may void the warranty,

increase your repair cost, reduce

vehicle performance and

operational capabilities and

adversely affect driver and

passenger safety. Frequent

inspection of vehicle chassis
