The scheduled maintenance items listed in the scheduled maintenance

guide are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its

emissions system.

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

indicator, 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

indicator 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

indicator 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
