12. Important information about ambulance conversions Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package. In addition, Ford urges ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendations of the Ford Incomplete Vehicle Manual and the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book (and pertinent supplements). Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford Ambulance Prep Package to produce an ambulance could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel overpressurization, and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. Such use also voids the Ford Bumper to Bumper Warranty and may void the Emissions Warranties. You may determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford Ambulance Prep Package by inspecting the information plate on the driver's rear door pillar. You may determine whether the ambulance manufacturer has followed Ford's recommendations by contacting the ambulance manufacturer of your vehicle. 13. Important information about limousine conversions Ford Motor Company authorizes only those Qualified Vehicle Modifiers (QVM's) of limousines, as listed at www.certifiedlimo.com to perform Ford Excursion limousine conversions using the XLT package with a 6.8L engine and 4:30 axle (XC3). In addition, the Excursion limousine must have the brake hydro-boost and tire upgrade. Only Pirelli 265/75R16 E or Goodyear 235/85R16 E tires may be used. 2004-model year and later Excursions must have the 800A Limousine Package Option. The wheelbase on Ford Excursions modified into limousines cannot exceed the maximum extension of 140 inches beyond the standard wheelbase of 277.1 inches total. In addition, the conversion fully loaded must not exceed a total Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 11,000 pounds. If the Excursion limousine has not been modified by an authorized QVM and/or stretched 140 inches beyond the standard wheel base, or has a GVWR of over 11,000 pounds, then the New Vehicle Limited warranty is voided and any Ford Extended Service Plan (ESP) contract is voided. In addition, applicable Emissions Warranty may also be voided, and the vehicle modifier may be considered the vehicle ''manufacturer'' for Emissions Warranty coverage purposes (including responsibilities for Emissions Warranty, recall, and in-use compliance). 28
