•Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your
vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive
use or are not properly installed. When operated, such systems may
cause the engine to stumble or stall or cause the transmission to be
damaged or operate improperly. In addition, such systems may be
damaged or their performance may be affected by operating your
vehicle. If you intend on fitting a mobile radio such as a citizens band
radio (CB), please refer to your local dealer for Ford recommended
installation guidelines. Ask you dealer to reference the“Ford Mobile
Radio Installation Guidelines.”(Citizens band [CB] transceivers, garage
door openers and other transmitters with outputs of five watts or less
will not ordinarily affect your vehicle’s operation.)
•Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse effects or damage
that may result from the use of such equipment.
