STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
CANADIAN VEHICLES
(Vehicles to be completed for sale or use in Canada)
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
Refer to the Vehicle Description section of this manual on
page 7, for additional information. Incomplete vehicles
produced by Ford Motor Company require, for certain
applications, optional Prep Packages or trim codes which are
listed on the Completed Vehicle Types charts on page 8.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (DRL)
Compliance representations for CMVSS 108, Lighting and
CMVSS 108.1, Headlamps, are on page 19. The following
items are also required for CMVSS 108 and 108.1
compliance:
• The DRL module circuits are not to be altered.
• DRL module is not to be repositioned.
• The E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis is not to be equipped
with more than two headlamps when equipped with a DRL
module as provided by Ford Motor Company.
CANADIAN RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
INFORMATION
All vehicles powered by spark ignition engines (e.g.:
gasoline, natural gas, or propane engines) and manufactured
in Canada or for sale or use in Canada are subject to
the Canadian “Regulations for the Control of Interference
to Radio Reception” per Interference-Causing Equipment
Standard (ICES-002) and applicable test method according
to “CAN/CSA-C108.4-M92”. Violation of these regulations
is punishable by ne or imprisonment. This Ford-built
incomplete vehicle (if other than a Basic (Stripped) Chassis)
was designed and manufactured to be capable of meeting
the regulatory requirements or such modications thereof
as may have been authorized by the Department of
Communications. However, because Ford Motor Company
has no control over how this incomplete vehicle is completed
by subsequent stage manufacturers, Ford Motor Company
does not represent that the completed vehicle incorporating
the Ford-built components will comply with applicable
requirements.
The following information is supplied to subsequent stage
manufacturers to help them avoid increasing the RFI
emissions of this vehicle in the course of completing it.
For any completed vehicle, additional measures may
be needed to adequately suppress RFI emissions.
Affected components could include spark plugs, ignition
wires, ignition coils, ground straps, ignition component
shields, accessory drive belts, instrument voltage regulator
suppressor assembly, and ignition coil suppressor assembly.
More specically:
• All components required to suppress RFI emissions, which
are removed during service, repair, or completion of the
vehicle, must be reinstalled in the manner in which they
were installed by Ford Motor Company.
• Shields on ignition coils must remain installed.
• Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils
must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to
original equipment.
• Electrical grounds on all components must be retained.
• Metallic components installed on the body or chassis must
be grounded to the chassis.
• Electrical circuits added to the vehicle must not be installed
near the high voltage ignition components.
• Only “static conductive” accessory drive belts should be
used. Fan, water pump, power steering, and other belts
should be of the OEM type or equivalent that will not build
up a static electrical charge.
• Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any
manner.
• The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must not be relocated
from the position as installed by Ford Motor Company.
