Owner's manual or repair manual?

The owner's manual in the glovebox explains the controls and the service intervals. This is the other book, the one technicians work from:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: removal and installation steps, torque specs, diagnostic trouble codes, wiring diagrams and component locations

Model year 2013 is part of the C-Max generation (2013–2018). It is the first model year of this generation, so wiring, body and many procedures differ from the model before it.

Typical repairs for a 2013 C-Max

• Oil leaks: valve cover and oil pan gaskets
• Exhaust leaks and oxygen sensors
