• Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at

high speeds.

• Have the items listed in your Scheduled Maintenance Guide

performed according to the specified schedule.

The scheduled maintenance items listed in the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide
are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its
emissions system.

If other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts are used for
maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting
emission control, such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine
Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability.

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine

compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.

Illumination of the

indicator, charging system warning light, fluid

leaks, strange odors, smoke or loss of engine power, could indicate that
the emission control system is not working properly.

Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger compartment.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By
law, vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures, repairs, services,
sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not
permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent
it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on
the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the
engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune up
specifications.

Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete emission warranty
information.
