Should you need to arrange assistance for yourself, Ford will reimburse a reasonable amount. To obtain information about reimbursement, call 1Ć800Ć241Ć3673 in the United States for Ford or Mercury vehicles; or if you own a Lincoln vehicle, call 1Ć800Ć521Ć4140. Call 1Ć800Ć665Ć2006 in Canada. Customer assistance GETTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE To fully assist you should you have a vehicle concern, Ford offers a complimentary roadside assistance program. This program is separate from the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The service is available: • 24Ćhours, seven days a week • for the Basic warranty period (Canada) or New Vehicle Limited Warranty period (U.S.) of three years or 60,000 km (36,000 miles), whichever comes first on Ford and Mercury vehicles, and four years or 80,000 km (50,000 miles) on Lincoln vehicles. In the United States, you may purchase additional roadside assistance coverage beyond this period through the Ford Auto Club by contacting your Ford or LincolnĆMercury dealer. Roadside assistance will cover • changing a flat tire • jumpĆstarts • lockĆout assistance • fuel delivery • towing to the nearest Ford of Canada or Ford Motor Company dealership, or towing to your selling dealership if within 56 km (35 miles). Even nonĆwarranty related tows, like accidents or getting stuck in the mud or snow, are covered (some exclusions apply, such as impound towing or repossession. 272 Ford extended service plan You can get more protection for your new car or light truck by purchasing Ford Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP) coverage. Ford ESP is an optional service contract which is backed by Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Service Company (in the U.S.) and Ford of Canada (in Canada). It provides: • Protection against repair costs after your New Vehicle Limited Warranty period expires; and • other benefits during the warranty period (such as reimbursement for rentals and towing). You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating Ford or LincolnĆMercury or Ford of Canada dealer. There are several plans available in various time, distance and deductible combinations which can be tailored to fit your own driving needs. Ford ESP also offers reimbursement benefits for towing and rental coverage. (In Hawaii, rules vary. See your dealer for details.) When you buy Ford ESP you receive PeaceĆofĆMind protection throughout the United States and Canada, provided by a network of more than 5,200 Ford, LincolnĆMercury and Ford of Canada dealers. participating Customer assistance If you did not take advantage of the Ford Extended Service Plan at the time of purchasing your vehicle, you may still be eligible. Please contact your dealer for further information. Since this information is subject to change, please ask your dealer for complete details about Ford Extended Service Plan coverage options. Also, please be aware that some dealers offer service contracts that are not backed by Ford Motor Company or Ford of Canada. On the surface, many independent plans appear to be like Ford's. The problem is that they can often require the use of nonĆfactory approved parts and have much more complex and restrictive claims coverage terms than Ford. At Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada, we are dedicated to providing Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicle owners with programs that will enhance your ownership experience and protect you from unexpected repair bills. Genuine Ford ESP is the only Extended Service Plan that enables us to provide that service. 273 Customer assistance Getting the service you need At home Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada have authorized dealerships to service your vehicle. When you need warranty repairs your selling dealer would like you to return to it for that service, but you may also take your vehicle to another Ford Motor Company dealership authorized for warranty repairs. Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership can not assist you, then contact the Customer Assistance Center. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive at the dealership, contact your Service Advisor for assistance. If the concern or injury remains unresolved, speak with the service manager. If you are still not satisfied, speak with the owner or general manager of the dealership. In most cases, your concern will be resolved at this level. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada dealerships also carry genuine Ford parts and accessories, providing you with original equipment reliability. 274 Away from home If you are away from home when your vehicle needs service, or if you need more help than the dealership could provide after following the steps described above, contact the Ford Customer Assistance Center to find an authorized dealership to help you in the United States Ford Motor Company Customer Assistance Center 16800 Executive Plaza Drive P.O.

Eligibility may differ according to state law. For example see the unique brochures for California, West Virginia, Georgia and Wisconsin purchasers/lessees. 276 To properly review your case, the Board needs the following information: • legible copies of all documents and maintenance or repair orders relevant to the case • the year, make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) listed on your vehicle ownership license • the date of repair(s) and mileage at the time of occurrence(s) • the current mileage • the name of the dealer(s) who sold or serviced the vehicle • a brief description of your unresolved concern • a brief summary of the action taken by the dealer(s) and Ford Motor Company • the names (if known) of all the people you contacted at the dealership(s) • a description of the action you expect to resolve your concern You will receive a letter of explanation if your application does not qualify for Board review.

After a case is reviewed, the Board mails you a decision letter and a form on which to accept or reject the Board's decision.

Ford Motor Company/Ford of Canada is not responsible for any damage caused by use of improper fuel.
