•
An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.
• If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
AUXILIARY SWITCHES
For maximum vehicle performance, keep
the following information in mind when
adding accessories or equipment to your
vehicle:
• When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Ask an authorized
dealer for specific weight information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems
equipped with radio transmitters, for
example, two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should comply
with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulations, and
should be installed by an authorized
dealer. •

any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In
addition, you may also adversely affect
the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle. The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches operate only when you switch the
ignition on, whether the engine is running
or not. Ford recommends, however, that
the engine remain running to maintain
battery charge when using the auxiliary
switches for extended periods of time or
higher current draws.
When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of
electrical battery power for a variety of
personal or commercial uses.
The switches include the fuse and relay kit.
This kit contains the required fuses and
relays that an authorized technician needs
to install into the power distribution box,
located under the hood. Refer to the
instruction sketch included in the kit.
Contact an authorized dealer for service.
