If other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts are used for

maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting

emission control, such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine

Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability.

Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry

ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine

compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.

Illumination of the “Service Engine Soon” light, charging system warning

light or the temperature warning light, fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke

or loss of engine power, could indicate that the emission control system

is not working properly.

Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and potentially

lethal fumes into the passenger compartment.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By

law, vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures, repairs, services,

sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not

permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent

it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on

the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the

engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and gives some tune up

specifications.

Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete emission warranty

information.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an I/M test of

the on-board diagnostics system. If your “Check Engine/Service Engine

Soon” light is on, refer to the description in the Warning lights and

chimes section of the Instrument Cluster chapter. Your vehicle may not

pass the I/M test with the “Check Engine/Service Engine Soon” light on.

If the vehicle’s powertrain system or its battery has just been serviced,

the on-board diagnostics system is reset to a “not ready for I/M test”

condition. To ready the on-board diagnostics system for I/M testing, a

minimum of 30 minutes of city and highway driving is necessary as

described below:

• First, at least 10 minutes of driving on an expressway or highway.
