or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult your
authorized dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian

Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems —
such as two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms - that are equipped
with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle
should comply with FCC or CRTC
regulations and should be installed
only by a qualified service technician.
• Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly
designed for automotive use.

SERVICE PLANS (U.S. only)
More than 32 million Ford and Lincoln
owners have discovered the powerful
protection of Ford Extended Service Plan.
It is the only extended service plan backed
by Ford Motor Company, and provides
peace of mind protection beyond the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage.
Up to 500+ Covered Vehicle
Components
There are four, new-vehicle Extended
Service Plans with different levels of
coverage. Ask your dealer for details.
1. PremiumCare - Our mostcomprehensive coverage. With over
500 covered components, this plan is
so complete that we generally only
discuss what’ s not covered!
2. ExtraCare - Covers 113 components, and includes many high-tech items.
3. BaseCare - Covers 84 components.
4. PowertrainCare - Covers 29 critical components.
Ford Extended Service Plan is honored by
all Ford and Lincoln Dealers in the U.S. and
Canada. It is the only extended service plan
authorized and backed by Ford Motor
Company. That means you get:
• Reliable, quality service anywhere you
go.
• Factory-trained technicians.
• Ford Authorized Parts used with every
covered repair.
Rental Car Reimbursement
If your vehicle is kept overnight for covered
repairs, you are eligible for rental car
coverage, including Bumper-to-Bumper
warranty repairs, or manufacturer ’s recalls. Transferable Coverage
If you sell your vehicle before your Ford
Extended Service Plan coverage expires,
you can transfer any remaining coverage
to the new owner. Whenever you’re ready
to sell your car, prospective buyers may
feel better about taking a risk on your used
vehicle. Ford Extended Service Plan may
add resale value!
Plus, exclusive 24/7 roadside assistance,
including:
•
Towing, flat-tire change and battery
jump starts.
• Out-of-fuel and lock-out assistance.
• Travel expense reimbursement for
lodging, meals and rental car.
• Destination assistance for taxi, shuttle,
rental car coverage and emergency
transportation.
Ford Extended Service Plan Can
Quickly Pay for Itself
One service bill – the cost of parts and
labor – can easily exceed the price of your
Ford Extended Service Plan Service
Contract. With a Ford Extend Service Plan,
you minimize your risk for unexpected
repair bills and rising repair costs.
Avoid the Rising Cost of Properly
Maintaining Your Vehicle!
Ford Extended Service Plan also offers a
Premium Maintenance Plan that covers
items that routinely wear out.
The coverage is prepaid, so you never have
to worry about affording your vehicle
maintenance. It covers regular checkups,
routine inspections, preventive care and
replacement of items that require periodic
attention for normal wear:
• Wiper blades
• Spark plugs (except California)
• Clutch disc

Privacy Information
When a mobile phone is connected to
SYNC, SYNC creates a profile within your
vehicle that is linked to that mobile phone.
This profile is created in order to offer you
more mobile features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile
may contain data about your mobile phone
book, text messages (read and unread),
and call history, including history of calls
when your mobile phone was not
connected to SYNC. In addition, if you
connect a media device, SYNC creates and
retains an index of media content
supported by SYNC. SYNC also records a
short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent SYNC activity. The
log profile and other SYNC data may be
used to improve SYNC and help diagnose
any problems that may occur. The mobile profile, media device index, and
development log will remain in the vehicle
unless you delete it and are generally
accessible only in the vehicle when the
mobile phone or media player is
connected. If you no longer plan to use
SYNC, or the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
information stored in SYNC.
