About the Warranties Your vehicle is covered by three types of warranties: Basic Vehicle Warranty, Extended Warranties on certain parts, and Emissions Warranties.
Read your Warranty Information Booklet carefully to find out about your vehicle’s warranties and your basic rights and responsibilities.
If you lose your Warranty Information Booklet, you can get a new one free of charge. Contact any Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer, or refer to the addresses and phone numbers on the first page of this Owner’s Guide. Ford Extended Service Plan
More Protection for Your Vehicle
You can get more protection for your new car or light truck by purchasing a Ford Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP). Ford ESP is the only extended service program with the Ford name on it and the only service contract backed by Ford Motor Company.
Ford ESP is an optional service contract, backed and administered by Ford. It provides: q protection against repair costs after your
Bumper to Bumper Warranty expires; and
other benefits during the warranty period (such as: reimbursement for rentals; coverage for certain maintenance and wear items).

You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating Ford Motor Company dealer. There are several Ford ESP plans available in various time-and-mileage combinations. Each plan can be tailored to fit your own driving needs, including reimbursement benefits for towing and rental. (In Hawaii, rules vary. See your dealer for details.)
When you buy Ford ESP, you receive peace-of-mind protection throughout the United States and Canada, provided by a network of more than 5,100 participating Ford Motor Company dealers.
NOTE: Repairs performed outside the United States and Canada are not eligible for ESP coverage.
This information is subject to change. Ask your dealer for complete details about Ford ESP coverage. Special Notices NOTICE TO OWNERS OF FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident.

NOTICE TO OWNERS OF LIGHT TRUCK AMBULANCE CONVERSIONS If your light truck is equipped with the Ford Ambulance Preparation Package, it can be utilized as an ambulance. Ford urges ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford Incomplete Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder’s Layout Book, and the QVM Guidelines as well as pertinent supplements. For further information, please call the Light Truck Body Builders Advisory Service on 1-800-635-5560.
Use of your Ford light truck as an ambulance, without the Ford Ambulance Preparation Package voids the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties. In addition, ambulance usage without the preparation package could cause high underbody temperatures, overpressurized fuel, and a risk of spraying fuel which could lead to fires. If your light truck is equipped with the Ford Ambulance Preparation Package it will say so on its information decal. The decal is located on the driver’s side door pillar or on the rear edge of the driver’s door. You can determine whether the ambulance manufacturer followed Ford’s recommendations by directly contacting that manufacturer. NOTE: Ford Ambulance Preparation Package is only available on certain 7.3L Diesel F-Series vehicles.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN/Serial Number)
on the Safety Compliance Certification Label —this label is attached to the left front door lock facing or the door latch post pillar.

The label contains the name of the manufacturer, the month and year of manufacture, the certification statement and the Vehicle Identification Number. The label also contains Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Ratings, wheel and tire data and information codes for additional vehicle data. For further information about the Safety Compliance Certification Label and the information contained on it, refer to the Index. Incomplete Vehicles On completed derivations of incomplete vehicles, the Safety Compliance Certification Label is affixed at a location determined by a subsequent stage manufacturer of the completed vehicle. In these cases the completed vehicle is manufactured in two (or more) stages by two (or more) separate manufacturers, with the manufacture of the completed vehicle occurring at a later date than the manufacture of the incomplete vehicle. Consequently, the model year of the completed vehicle may be later than the model year of its chassis. Federal Highway Administration Regulation Regulations such as those issued by the Federal Highway Administration or issued pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and/or state and local laws and regulations may require additional equipment for the way you intend to use the vehicle. It is the responsibility of the registered owner to determine the applicability of such laws and regulations to your intended use for the vehicle, and to arrange for the installation of required equipment. Your Ford dealer has information about the availability of many items of equipment which may be ordered for your vehicle.

Breaking Your Vehicle In Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or break-in period during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in period, you need to pay careful attention to how you drive your vehicle. q Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle
has new brake linings, you should take these steps:
— Watch traffic carefully so that you can
anticipate when to stop.
— Begin braking well in advance.
— Apply the brakes gradually.
The break-in period for new brake linings lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway driving.
q Wheel lug nuts must be retightened to proper
torque specifications at 500 miles/800 km of new vehicle operation. Proper torque specifications are provided in this guide. Also retighten to proper torque specifications at 500 miles/800 km after any wheel change or any other time the wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
q Use only the type of engine oil that Ford recommends. See Engine oil recommendations in the Index. Do not use special “break-in” oils.

The Mechanical Cluster The following warning lights and gauges are on the mechanical cluster. All of the warning lights and gauges alert you to possible problems with your vehicle. Some of the lights listed are optional. The following sections detail what each of these indicators means. Brake System Warning Light
The warning light for the brakes can show three things — that either the parking brake is not fully released, that the brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir or the vacuum pressure is low on diesel engine vehicles. If the fluid level is low, the brake system should be checked by a qualified service technician.
This light illuminates when you turn the ignition key to START to verify that the indicator bulb is working. If the light stays on or illuminates after you have released the parking brake fully, have the hydraulic brake system serviced.
RWARNING
The BRAKE light indicates that the brakes may not be working properly. Have the brakes checked immediately.
