automotive needs. Please follow the procedures outlined on the front
page of this booklet.

the services of the BBB AUTO LINE program. For details, see Better
Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program,

KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
Your Warranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new
vehicle or the day it is first put into service (for example, as a dealer
demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the
dealership, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal,
upholstery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may
slip past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before
he or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your
vehicle, notify your dealership within one week.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your glove compartment contains an Owner’s Manualwhich indicates
the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper
maintenance guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect
or inadequate maintenance, may help increase the value you receive
when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is important in allowing your
vehicle to comply with applicable emissions standards.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled
maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford
engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as
specified in the Owner’s Manual will invalidate warranty coverage on

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.
Extended warranty coverage periods are available for certain
vehicle parts and conditions. Specifically,
(1) Your vehicle’s Powertrain components are covered for five years or
60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The extended coverage applies to
