CANADIAN VEHICLES

(Vehicles to be completed for sale or use in Canada)

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
Refer to the Vehicle Description section of this manual on page

6, for additional information. Incomplete vehicles produced by

Ford Motor Company require, for certain applications, optional

Prep Packages or trim codes which are listed on the Completed

Vehicle Types chart on page 7.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (DRL)
Compliance representations for CMVSS 108, Lighting and

CMVSS 108.1, Headlamps, are on page 14. The following items

are also required for CMVSS 108 and 108.1 compliance:
• The DRL module circuits are not to be altered.
• DRL module is not to be repositioned.

CANADIAN RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

INFORMATION
All vehicles powered by spark ignition engines (e.g.: gasoline,

natural gas, or propane engines) and manufactured in Canada

or for sale or use in Canada are subject to the Canadian

“Regulations for the Control of Interference to Radio Reception”

per Interference-Causing Equipment Standard (ICES-002)

and applicable test method according to “CAN/CSA-C108.4-

M92”. Violation of these regulations is punishable by fine

or imprisonment. This Ford-built incomplete vehicle was

designed and manufactured to be capable of meeting the

regulatory requirements or such modifications thereof as may

have been authorized by the Department of Communications.

However, because Ford Motor Company has no control over

how this incomplete vehicle is completed by subsequent stage

manufacturers, Ford Motor Company does not represent that

the completed vehicle incorporating the Ford-built components

will comply with applicable requirements.
The following information is supplied to subsequent stage

manufacturers to help them avoid increasing the RFI emissions

of this vehicle in the course of completing it.
For any completed vehicle, additional measures may be

needed to adequately suppress RFI emissions. Affected

components could include spark plugs, ignition wires, ignition

coils, ground straps, ignition component shields, accessory

drive belts, instrument voltage regulator suppressor assembly,

and ignition coil suppressor assembly.

More specifically:
• All components required to suppress RFI emissions, which

are removed during service, repair, or completion of the

vehicle, must be reinstalled in the manner in which they were

installed by Ford Motor Company.

• Shields on ignition coils must remain installed.
• Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils

must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to

original equipment.

• Electrical grounds on all components must be retained.
• Metallic components installed on the body or chassis must

be grounded to the chassis.

• Electrical circuits added to the vehicle must not be installed

near the high voltage ignition components.

• Only “static conductive” accessory drive belts should be used.

Fan, water pump, power steering, and other belts should be

of the OEM type or equivalent that will not build up a static

electrical charge.

• Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any

manner.

• The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must not be relocated

from the position as installed by Ford Motor Company.
