2Refer to the dipstick for the type of transmission fluid required. Some
fluid labels may indicate dual usage such as MERCONtand MERCON
Vt. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in transmissions that use
only the MERCONttype fluid. These dual usage fluids may be used in
transmissions that require MERCONtV use.
Using a transmission fluid that indicates a dual usage (MERCONtand
MERCON Vt) in a transmission application requiring MERCONtmay
cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS (U.S. ONLY)
If you believe that your vehicle has
a defect that could cause a crash, or
could cause injury or death, you
should immediately inform the

Administration (NHTSA) in addition
to notifying Ford Motor Company.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and
if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a
recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer or Ford Motor Company.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free
at 1±800±424±9393 (202±366±0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or write
to:
