On-board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle’s On-board Diagnostics (OBD-II) system has a data port for
diagnostics, repair and reprogramming services with diagnostic scan
tools. Installing a non-Ford-approved aftermarket OBD plug-in device
that uses the port during normal driving, for example remote insurance
company monitoring, remote vehicle diagnostics, telematics or engine
reprogramming, may cause interference or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse the use of any non-Ford-approved
aftermarket OBD plug-in devices. The vehicle Warranty may not cover
damage caused by any non-Ford-approved aftermarket OBD plug-in
device.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

other short-distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm
systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note:Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note:If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press
any button unintentionally.
