Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring
defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or
design than the original part, so long as the vehicle functions
properly with the replacement part. Moreover, Ford and its
authorized dealers are entitled to a reasonable time and a
reasonable number of attempts within which to diagnose and
repair any defect covered by this warranty.
In certain instances, Ford may authorize repairs at other than
Ford dealer facilities.
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

ROADSIDE SERVICE ASSISTANCE
(UNITED STATES, PUERTO RICO, AND U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS)
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, ortowing to your selling dealership if within 35 miles of the
disablement
• Flat tire change (vehicle must have useable spare)
• Fuel delivery (limited to two occurrences in a 12-month period up to 2 gal. gas, 5 gal. diesel)

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 a Ford or
Lincoln Protect extended service plan, you may seek
reimbursement for a tow charge under that plan.
For emergency roadside assistance, call 1-800-241-3673,

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
Motor Company dealer is not available, or if a Ford Motor
Company 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.

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.
