Safety Restraint Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Safety Restraint Coverage begins at the warranty start date and lasts for five years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. During this coverage period, Ford Motor Company or Ford Motor Vehicle Assurance Company warrants your vehicle's safety belts and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) against defects in factory-supplied materials or workmanship. Corrosion Coverage Under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty, Corrosion Coverage begins at the warranty start date and covers body sheet metal panels against corrosion due to a defect in factory-supplied materials and workmanship. Corrosion coverage (which lasts for 5 years, regardless of miles driven) only applies if the corrosion causes perforation (holes) in body sheet metal panels. If corrosion does not cause perforation (holes), and is not the result of usage and/or environmental conditions, paint damage is covered under the terms of the Bumper to Bumper Warranty (4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first). For damage caused by airborne material (environmental fallout) - where there is no factory-related defect involved and therefore no warranty our policy is to cover paint damage due to airborne material for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. WHAT IS NOT COVERED? Damage Caused By: • accidents, collision, or objects striking the vehicle • theft, vandalism, or riot • fire or explosion • freezing • misusing the vehicle, such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or using the vehicle as a stationary power source • altering or modifying the vehicle - including the body, chassis, or components - after the vehicle leaves Ford's control • non-Ford parts installed after the vehicle leaves Ford's control. For example, but not limited to, cellular phones, alarm systems, and automatic starting systems 8
