SPECIAL NOTICES
Using your vehicle as an ambulance
If your light truck is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
package, it may be utilized as an ambulance. Ford urges ambulance
manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford incomplete
vehicle manual, Ford truck body builder’s layout book and the QVM
guidelines as well as pertinent supplements. For additional information,
please contact the Light Truck Body Builders Advisory Service
1–800–635–5560.
Use of your Ford light truck as an ambulance, without the Ford
Ambulance Preparation Package voids the Ford New Vehicle Limited
Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties. In addition, ambulance
usage without the preparation package could cause high underbody
temperatures, overpressurized fuel and a risk of spraying fuel which
could lead to fires.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
Ford ambulance preparation
package, it will be indicated on the
Safety Certification Compliance
label. The label is located on the
driver’s side door pillar or on the
rear edge of the driver’s door. You
can determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer followed
Ford’s recommendations by directly
contacting that manufacturer. Ford
Ambulance preparation package is
only available on certain 7.3L Diesel
engine equipped vehicles.
Diesel-powered vehicles
Read the 7.3L Diesel Engine Owner’s Guide Supplement for information
regarding correct operation and maintenance of your diesel-powered
light truck.
