Warranty

CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the dealer-
ship, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal, uphol-
stery, or other appearance items. But occasionally something may slip
past us, and a customer may find that a vehicle was damaged before he
or she took delivery. If you see any damage when you receive your ve-
hicle, notify your dealership within one week.
MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE PROPERLY
Your glove compartment contains an Owner Guide and a Scheduled
Maintenance Guide which indicate the scheduled maintenance re-
quired for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance, may help
increase the value you receive when you sell or trade your vehicle, and is
important in allowing your vehicle to comply with applicable emissions
standards.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled mainte-
nance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance as specified in
the Scheduled Maintenance Guide will invalidate warranty coverage on
parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for
completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and confirma-
tion of maintenance work is always entered in your Scheduled Mainte-
nance Guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury
Quality Care Service Center, has factory-trained technicians who can per-
form the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The dealership
looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize your satis-
faction with your vehicle.
WHO PAYS FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS?
You will not be charged for repairs covered by any applicable warranty
during the stated coverage periods, unless specifically stated elsewhere
in this guide.
Some states have mandated alternate time coverage periods for parts of
your vehicle (e.g. seatbelts).
