7. Additional information about your emissions warrantycoverage, under Federal and California requirements
HOW DO I GET WARRANTY SERVICE?
To get service under your emissions warranties, take your vehicle to any
Ford Motor Company dealer as soon as possible after illumination of the
Malfunction Indicator Light or it has failed an EPA-approved test or a
California Smog Check inspection. Be sure to show the dealer the
document that says your vehicle has failed the test.
Your dealer will determine whether the repair is covered by the warranty.
If the dealer has a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage, it will forward the question to Ford Motor Company, which
must make a final decision within 30 days after you bring your vehicle in
for repair. (The decision will be made within a shorter time if state, local,
or federal law requires you to have the vehicle repaired more quickly in
order to avoid additional penalties.) The deadline for a determination
about Emissions Performance Warranty Coverage does not need to be
met if you request a delay, agree to a delay in writing, or if the delay is
caused by an event for which neither Ford nor your dealer is
responsible. If a question about Emissions Performance Warranty
coverage is referred to Ford Motor Company, you will be notified by Ford
Motor Company in writing if your claim for warranty coverage is denied.
The notice will explain the basis for denying your claim. If you fail to
receive this notice within a timely manner, as determined above, Ford
will perform the warranty repair for you free of charge.
HOW DO I HANDLE EMERGENCY REPAIRS?
If your vehicle needs an emergency warrantable repair and a Ford Motor
Company dealer is not available, or if a Ford Motor Company dealer
cannot perform warrantable repair(s) within 30 days of you bringing
your vehicle to the dealer, repairs may be performed at any service
establishment or by you using Ford equivalent replacement parts.
Ford will reimburse you for the cost of these warranty repairs including
diagnosis, if you take the part(s) that are replaced and the repair
receipt(s) to a Ford Motor Company dealer. The reimbursement shall not
exceed Ford’s suggested retail price for the warranted parts that are
replaced and labor charges based on Ford’s recommended time allowance
for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly rate.

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
done 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 emissions control systems
may not work as effectively, and you may jeopardize your emissions
warranty coverage.
Under the Federal and California emissions warranties, Ford will repair
or replace covered parts if they are properly installed Ford parts or the
equivalent, or non-Ford parts that have been certified by the U.S. EPA or
the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Ford is not responsible for
the cost or repairing or replacing non-Ford parts that are not equivalent
to Ford parts or that have not been certified by EPA or CARB.
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control
devices or systems can be performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using Ford replacement parts or the
equivalent, or EPA- or CARB-certified parts, without voiding your
emissions warranty coverage for future repairs during the
applicable warranty period.
PROPER MAINTENANCE PRESERVES YOUR WARRANTY
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.

8. Noise emissions warranty
NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY FOR CERTAIN LIGHT TRUCKS
Ford Motor Company warrants to the first person who purchases this
vehicle for purposes other than resale and to each subsequent purchaser
that this vehicle as manufactured by Ford, was designed, built and
equipped to conform at the time it left Ford’s control with all applicable
U.S. EPA Noise Control Regulations.
This warranty covers this vehicle as designed, built and equipped by
Ford Motor Company, and is not limited to any particular part,
component or system of the vehicle as manufactured by Ford. Defects in
design, assembly or in any part, component or system of the vehicle as
manufactured by Ford, which, at the time it left Ford’s control, caused
noise emissions to exceed Federal standards, are covered by this
warranty for the life of the vehicle.
THE NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS DO NOT APPLY TO:
•loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of the vehicle, commercial loss
or, other consequential damages.
• any vehicle which is not covered by the U.S. EPA Medium and Heavy
Trucks Noise Emission Standards (40 C.F.R. Part 205, Subpart B).
Among the non-covered vehicles are those lacking a partially or fully
enclosed operator’s compartment, such as a basic stripped chassis,
those having a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 10,000 pounds or less,
and those sold outside the United States and its territories. To the
extent permitted by law, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY INSTEAD
of any express or implied warranty, condition, or guarantee,
agreement, or representation, by any person with respect to

Regulations, including ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS.

12. Important information about ambulanceconversions
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford
Incomplete Vehicle Manual and theFord Truck Body Builders
Layout Book (and pertinent supplements).
Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep Package
to produce an ambulance could result in elevated underbody
temperatures, fuel overpressurization, and the risk of fuel
expulsion and fires. Such use also voids the Ford Bumper to
Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties.
You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford
Ambulance Prep Package by inspecting the information plate on the
driver’s rear door pillar.
You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has followed
Ford’s recommendations by contacting the ambulance manufacturer of
your vehicle.
