Damage Caused by Use and/or the Environment
The New Truck Limited Warranty does not cover surface rust,

(whichever occurs first) even though caused by use and/or exposure
to the elements.
Damage Caused by Improper Maintenance
The New Truck Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by
failure to maintain the vehicle, improperly maintaining the vehicle, or
using the wrong part, fuel, oil, lubricants, or fluids. See the Owner’s
Manual for proper ways to maintain the vehicle. Failure to perform
maintenance as specified in the Owner’s Manual will invalidate or void
warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance.

or repair of emissions control devices or systems, the cost of which is
not covered by the warranties, can be performed by any automotive

you have followed Ford’s instructions on properly maintaining and using
your vehicle. You will find these instructions in your Owner’s Manual and
