0-2 Introduction
Introduction
This means that Genuine Ford Accessories purchased along with your new vehicle and installed
by the dealer are covered for the full length of your New Vehicle’s Limited Warranty — 3 years or
36,000 miles (60,000 km) (whichever occurs first). Contact your dealer for details and a copy of
the warranty.
Considerations When Using or Installing Accessories
For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in mind when adding
accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your vehicle, do not exceed
the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated
on the Safety Compliance Certification label). Consult your dealer for specific weight information.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile communications systems — such as 2-way
radios, telephones and theft alarms that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC regulations and should be
installed only by a qualified service technician.
Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are
not properly designed for automotive use.
To avoid interference with other vehicle functions, such as anti-lock braking systems, amateur
radio users who install radios and antennas onto their vehicle should not locate the Amateur
Radio Antennas in the area of the driver’s side hood.
Electrical or electronic accessories or components that are added to the vehicle by the dealer or
the owner may adversely affect battery performance and durability.
