2. Important information you should know
IF YOU NEED CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
Your Ford Motor Company Dealer is available to assist you with all your
automotive needs. Please follow the procedures outlined on the front
page of this booklet. In addition, if you are an eligible U.S. owner, you
may use - at no cost - the services of the BBB AUTO LINE program. For
details, see Better Business Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE program, page 25
or call 1-800-955-5100.
KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
YourWarranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new
vehicle or the day it is first put into service (for example, as a dealer
demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the
dealership, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal,
upholstery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may
slip past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before
he or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your
vehicle, notify your dealership within one week.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your Owner’s Manual, provided with your vehicle, indicates the scheduled
maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards
against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate
maintenance and may help increase the value you receive when you sell
or trade your vehicle.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all the scheduled maintenance
is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified in
the Owner’s Manual will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected
by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for completed
maintenance work are retained with the vehicle.

Your EV dealership, or local Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center, has
factory-trained technicians who can perform the required maintenance
using genuine Ford parts. The dealership looks forward to meeting your
every service need to maximize your satisfaction with your vehicle.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty
during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere
in this guide.
Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of
your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
Some states and/or local governments may require a tax on a portion of
warranty repairs. Where applicable law allows, the tax must be paid by
you, the owner of the vehicle.
During the Bumper to Bumper Warranty period, Dealers may receive
instructions to provide no-cost, service-type improvements - not
originally included in your Owner’s Manual - intended to increase your
overall satisfaction with your vehicle.
Sometimes Ford may offer a special adjustment program to pay all or
part of the cost of certain repairs beyond the terms of the applicable
warranty. Check with your Dealer or call the Customer Relationship
Center at 1-800-392-3673 to learn whether any adjustment program is
applicable to your vehicle. Please have your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) available.3

repairs, conduct recalls, or extend the warranty coverage period for
certain vehicles or vehicle populations, at the sole discretion of Ford.
The fact that Ford has provided such measures to a particular vehicle

maintenance records and receipts for review by Ford.

5. Additional information about your warranty coverage
NOTE: Fully-electric vehicles are not eligible for any emissions
warranties.
WHAT REPLACEMENT PARTS SHOULD I USE?
Ford Motor Company recommends that you use genuine Ford
replacement parts. However, when you are having non-warranty work
performed on your vehicle, you may choose to use non-Ford parts. If you
decide to use non-Ford parts, be sure they are equivalent to Ford parts
in performance, quality, and durability. If you use replacement parts that
are not equivalent to Ford parts, your vehicle’s systems may not work as
effectively, and you may jeopardize your warranty coverage.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. Ford Motor
Company recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance
on your vehicle, but Ford cannot deny warranty coverage soley for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Ford Motor
Company Dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Ford Motor
Company may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.

To preserve your warranty,the following conditions should be observed
(See Owner’s Manual for further detail):
• Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the proper ways your vehicle’s battery
must be maintained in the event the vehicle is not driven or is stored
for an extended period.
• Follow all instructions for use and charging of the high voltage battery
assembly
• Use the vehicle, charging equipment, and high voltage battery
assembly as intended and as described in the Owner Manual, and in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Have all high voltage battery assembly service and repairs performed
by properly qualified and equipped personnel at an EV Certified Ford
dealership.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
The high voltage battery assembly in the vehicle is designed to operate
within a sealed system. Removing the high voltage battery assembly from
the vehicle, or opening the high voltage battery assembly, creates a risk
of damage to the high voltage battery assembly, as well as a risk of
personal injury, including electrocution. EV Certified Ford dealerships
are specially trained and equipped to repair the high voltage battery
assembly and high voltage systems on the vehicle, and are the only
repair facilities authorized to repair the high voltage battery assembly.
In order to maintain optimal battery life and functionality of your vehicle,
it is imperative that all high voltage battery software updates are
installed. You are responsible for ensuring all software updates are
installed within 30 days of software availability. You can most easily
accomplish this by keeping Automatic Updates set to ON. If you are
unable or choose not to use your vehicle’s connectivity features to
update software, your Ford Dealer can determine if software updates are
available for your vehicle and perform these updates. Battery system
updates will be installed at no cost to you during the warranty period.
Damage resulting from failure to install battery system updates will not
be covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
21

During the warranty coverage period, Ford Motor Company warrants that
you will not be charged for diagnosis, repair, replacement, or adjustment
of components that are damaged or inoperable due to a defect caused by
an OTA update.
If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Ford may have the right to
deny you warranty coverage. To have repairs made under this warranty,
you may have to show that you have followed Ford’s instructions on
properly maintaining and using your vehicle. You will find these
instructions in yourOwner’s Manual. Be sure to save your service
receipts and to keep accurate records of all maintenance work.
