Two separate warranties apply to tires on your new vehicle. The New
Vehicle Limited Warranty covers tire defects in factory supplied material
or workmanship for 100% of labor costs and on a pro rata adjustment
basis for parts. (See the reimbursement schedule below).
For vehicles within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty time in service
and mileage coverage period, defective tires will be replaced on a pro
rata adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based
Reimbursement Schedule:
MILES DRIVENPERCENT OF PARTS COVERED BY FORD
1-12,000 100%
12,001-24,000 60%
24,001-36,000 30%
The tire manufacturer also provides you with a separate tire warranty
that may extend beyond the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage.
You will find the manufacturer’s tire warranty with the owner literature
supplied with your vehicle. You have the option of having a tire warranty
repair performed by the tire manufacturer’s authorized service center. If
you go to a tire service center for a repair covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty, you may be charged a prorated amount for wear or
other charges. If so, you should present your paid invoice detailing the
nature of the charges to any Ford Motor Company dealership for refund
consideration. When making warranty repairs on your vehicle, the dealer
will use Ford or Motorcraft parts or remanufactured or other parts that
are authorized by Ford. In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs
at other than Ford dealer facilities. Tire replacements under warranty
will be made with the same brand and model as originally equipped with
the vehicle unless the same brand and model is no longer available, in
which case a tire of the same brand, size, load, speed and tread type will
be used. In some circumstances, Ford may authorize another brand
and/or model to substitute for the original brand and model, even if still
available.
Normal tire wear or damage is not reimbursable. See page 15 for details
of what is not covered.

4. In addition ...
ROADSIDE SERVICE ASSISTANCE
Your vehicle is covered by the complimentary Ford Roadside Assistance
Program (unless you are driving a daily rental unit). Under this program,
Ford will cover:
•Towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership, or towing to
your selling dealership if within 35 miles of the disablement

years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first). If you need towing
beyond the five years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first) period,
Ford can arrange roadside assistance and charge your credit card. If the
reason for the vehicle disablement is later found to be covered by
another Ford warranty, Ford will provide a refund for the tow charge
under the other warranty, through the dealership.
For emergency roadside assistance, call 1-800-241-3673 (FORD),
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to any
Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a
California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the
document that says your vehicle has failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty.
If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which
must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in
for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local,
or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in
order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be
met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is
caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your dealer is
responsible.
If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty coverage is referred
to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford Motor Company in
writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied. The notice will
explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to receive this notice
within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford will perform the
warranty repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford dealer
is not available, or if a Ford dealer cannot perform warrantable repair(s)
within 30 days of you bringing your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be
performed at any service establishment or by you using Ford equivalent
replacement parts.
30
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage.
To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to show that
you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using
your vehicle. You will find these instructions in yourOwner’s Manual.
Be sure to save your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all
maintenance work.
