Note: The descriptions and specifications contained in this manual were in effect at the time this
manual was approved for printing. Ford Motor Company reserves the right to discontinue
models at any time, or change specifications or design without notice and without incurring

Ford Motor Company has assembled this Escape/Mariner Hybrid Modifier Guide to assist vehicle
modifiers in producing safe and quality products. Ford believes that safety and quality come first.
To achieve customer satisfaction, we want to assist modifiers in achieving the highest standards of
safety and quality in their products.
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.
