NOTE: Idling the engine for extended periods
will accumulate more hours of use on
your vehicles than is actually indicated
by the mileage odometer.
Consequently, the odometer reading
can be often misleading when
determining the right time to change
your engine oil and filter.
*
[SV16650(BEF )03/95]
If you are using your Ford vehicle in a manner
which allows it to remain stationary while the
engine is running for long periods (door to door
delivery, taxi, police, power/utility company
trucks, or similar duty), then Ford recommends
you increase the frequency of oil and filter
changes to an interval equivalent to 200
ENGINE HOURS of use. Since most vehicles are
not equipped with hourmeters, it may be
necessary for you to approximate your idle time
and plan oil/filter changes accordingly.

In general, maintenance, replacement, or service
of the emissions control devices or systems in
your new Ford Motor Company vehicle or
engine may be performed at your expense by
any automotive repair establishment or
individual using automotive parts equivalent to
those which your vehicle or engine was
originally equipped.
*
[SV49300( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in
dry grass or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which
can start a fire.
*
[SV49400(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
On vehicles without original equipment
floor covering or insulation, do not let
passengers ride in your truck in a manner
that allows contact between skin and the
metal floor.
*
[SV49450( ALL)05/95]
If other than Ford or Motorcraft or Ford
authorized remanufactured parts are used for
maintenance, replacement, or for the service of
components affecting emissions control, the
owner should be assured that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company
parts in performance and durability. Please
consult your warranty information booklet for
complete warranty information.

[SV49500(BEF )05/95]
Watch for fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke, loss
of oil pressure, the charge warning light, the
check engine light, or the temperature warning
light. These sometimes indicate that the emission
system is not working properly.
