GETTING THE SERVICES YOU NEED
Warranty repairs to your vehicle must be performed by an authorized
Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury dealer. While any authorized dealer handling
your vehicle line will provide warranty service, we recommend you
return to your selling authorized dealer who wants to ensure your
continued satisfaction.
Please note that certain warranty repairs require special training and/or
equipment, so not all authorized dealers are authorized to perform all
warranty repairs. This means that, depending on the warranty repair
needed, you may have to take your vehicle to another authorized dealer.
A reasonable time must be allowed to perform a repair after taking your
vehicle to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be made using Ford or
Motorcraft
parts, or remanufactured or other parts that are authorized
by Ford.

Refueling
WARNING:Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island;
•Turn off your engine when you are refueling;
•Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle;
•Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel;
•Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle — this is against the law in some places;
•Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
•Do not use a cellphone while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while
filling.
•DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill
position.
Fuel filler cap
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.
4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the
filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise until it clicks at least once.
If the check fuel cap light
or a CHECK FUEL CAP message comes
on, the fuel filler cap may not be properly installed. The light or message
can come on after several driving events after you’ve refueled your
vehicle.

Calibrated speedometer - police
Deviations from true road speeds are minimized by a calibrated
speedometer head which gives both miles-per-hour (0–140 mph) and
kilometer-per-hour (0–222 km/h) readings. The speedometer head
assembly accuracy is
2 mph (
3 km/h) over the entire range (at 70°F
[21°C]). The “certified calibration” applies to the head assembly only and
does not apply to the indicated speed of the system, which is affected by
variations in vehicle loading, tire inflation pressures, tire rolling radii and
driveline ratios.
Red/White map light - police (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a red/white map light located in the
headliner between the driver and front seat passenger. A three-position
switch provides either white or night-vision red options. When the rocker
switch is in the center position, the lamp is off. Pressing the left side
(white dot) makes the lamp operate in the white light mode. Pressing
the right side (red dot) makes the lamp operate in the night-vision red
mode.
Mobile communication systems
The Federal Communications Commission regulates the use of mobile
communication systems (such as two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms) that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this
equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules and a
qualified technician should install the equipment. Ford Motor Company
vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and
SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or not
properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause
the engine to stumble or stall and may affect 4R70W transmission
operation. In addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or their
operation affected by operating your vehicle. (Citizen band [CB]
transceivers, garage door openers and other transmitters whose power
output is 5 watts or less will not ordinarily affect your vehicle’s
operation.)
Because we have no control over the installation, design or manufacture
of such systems, Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse
effects or damage that may result if you use this equipment.
Malfunction of aftermarket electronic equipment should be resolved by
the equipment manufacturer.
