EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a

catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with applicable

exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic converter and

other emission control components continue to work properly:

• Use only the specified fuel listed.

• Avoid running out of fuel.

• Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at

high speeds.

• Have the items listed in your scheduled maintenance guide performed

according to the specified schedule.

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 “Check Engine” 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.
