u Have the services listed in your Maintenance Schedule and Record booklet performed according to the specified schedule. The Scheduled Maintenance Services listed in the Maintenance Schedule and Record booklet are required because they are considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system. Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts. If other than Ford or Motorcraft parts or Ford authorized remanufactured parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the service of components affecting emissions control, such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. It is the owner's responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please consult your warranty booklet for complete warranty information. RWARNING Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emissions system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. 325
