MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATIONS
The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been carefully
designed to provide safe, predictable performance and durable load
carrying capability. Do not make modifications such as adding or
removing parts (such as lift kits or stabilizer bars) or using replacement
parts not equivalent to the original factory equipment because these
modifications can affect the safety of your vehicle.
Do not use ªaftermarket lift kitsº or other suspension
modifications. ªAftermarket lift kitsº could adversely affect the
vehicle's handling characteristics, which could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death.
Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the center of gravity can make
it easier to induce vehicle rollover. Ford recommends that you take extra
precautions, such as driving at lower speeds, avoiding abrupt steering
changes and allowing for increased stopping distance, for any vehicle
equipped with a high load (for example, roof racks).
Failure to maintain your vehicle properly may void the warranty, increase
your repair cost, reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities
and adversely affect driver and passenger safety. Frequent inspection of
vehicle chassis and powertrain components is recommended if the
vehicle is subjected to heavy off-road usage. Refer to the ªOwner's
Guideº and ªService Guideº for proper maintenance instructions and
schedules.
