Warranty

KNOW WHEN YOUR WARRANTY BEGINS
Your Warranty Start Date is the day you take delivery of your new
vehicle or the day it is first put into service (for example, as a dealer
demonstrator), whichever occurs first.
CHECK YOUR VEHICLE
We try to check vehicles carefully at the assembly plant and the
dealership, and we usually correct any damage to paint, sheet metal,
upholstery, 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
vehicle, 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
required 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
maintenance 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 confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in your
Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury
Quality Care Service Center, has factory-trained technicians who can
perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The
dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize
your satisfaction with your vehicle.
