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 31 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. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty for your2022-Model Battery Electric Vehicle
LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
All of the warranties in this booklet are subject to the following
limitations and disclaimers:
The warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties
applicable to your vehicle. Ford does not assume or authorize
anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in
connection with your vehicle or these warranties. No person,
including Ford employees or Dealers, may modify or waive any
part of these warranties.
Ford and its Dealers reserve the right to make changes in or
additions to vehicles built or sold by them at any time without
incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes
or additions to vehicles previously built or sold.
Ford and its Dealers also reserve the right to provide
post-warranty 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 or vehicle population in
no way obligates Ford to provide similar accommodations to
other owners of similar vehicles.
As a condition of these warranties, you are responsible for
properly using, maintaining, and caring for your vehicle as
outlined in your Owner’s Manual. Ford recommends that you
maintain copies of all maintenance records and receipts for
review by Ford.

labor needed to maintain the vehicle; and (2) the replacement of

5. Additional information about your warrantycoverage
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. Software 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.

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 a software 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.
