Reporting Safety Defects (U.S. only)
*
[HS07800(ALL)01/93]
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause
an accident or could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ford Motor
Company.
*
[HS07900(ALL)01/95]
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or Ford Motor Company.
*
[HS08000(ALL)01/93]
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area)
or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation,
Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information
about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Getting Help Outside the U.S. and Canada
*
[HS08200(ALL)05/95]
Before you export your vehicle to a foreign country, contact the
appropriate foreign embassy or consulate to make sure local
regulations do not prevent you from registering your vehicle.
Officials at the embassy can also help you decide whether you
should import your vehicle to that country.
*
[HS08300(ALL)01/93]
Officials at the embassy or consulate can tell you where to get
unleaded fuel. If you cannot get unleaded fuel or can get only
fuel with an anti-knock index that is lower than your vehicle
needs, contact a district or customer assistance center before you
leave the U.S. or Canada.

regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15. Any such

NOTE: Mobile communication systems, particularly if not
properly installed, may adversely affect the operation
of the vehicle. For example, such systems, when
operated, may cause the engine to stumble or stall. In
addition, such systems may themselves be damaged,
or their operation affected, by the operation of the
vehicle. (Citizens band [CB] transceivers, garage door
openers, and other transmitters whose power output is
5 watts or less, ordinarily will not affect vehicle
operation.)
*
[AC02100(ALL)04/94]
NOTE: Because Ford has no control over the operation or
manufacture of such systems or their installation, Ford
cannot assume responsibility for any adverse effects or
damage if this equipment is used.
