    							ABOUT THIS MANUAL
    Thank you for choosing Ford. We
    recommend that you take some time to
    get to know your vehicle by reading this
    manual. The more that you know about
    your vehicle, the greater the safety and
    pleasure you will get from driving it.
    WARNING
    Driving while distracted can result in
    loss of vehicle control, crash and
    injury. We strongly recommend that
    you use extreme caution when using any
    device that may take your focus off the
    road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
    operation of your vehicle. We recommend
    against the use of any hand-held device
    while driving and encourage the use of
    voice-operated systems when possible.
    Make sure you are aware of all applicable
    local laws that may affect the use of
    electronic devices while driving. Note:
    This manual describes product
    features and options available throughout
    the range of available models, sometimes
    even before they are generally available. It
    may describe options that are not on your
    vehicle. It is possible that either Ford Motor
    Company or an authorized Ford dealer may
    have originally sold an incomplete vehicle
    to a vehicle modifier who upfitted it. As a
    result, some of the options and features on
    this vehicle may differ from what we
    describe in this manual.
    Note: Some of the illustrations in this
    manual may show features as used in
    different models, so they may appear
    differently to you on your vehicle.
    Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
    in line with all applicable laws and
    regulations.
    Note: Pass on this manual when selling
    your vehicle. It is an integral part of the
    vehicle. Note:
    Your vehicle ’s powertrain control
    systems can detect and store information
    about vehicle modifications that increase
    horsepower and torque output such as
    whether or not performance-enhancing
    powertrain components commonly referred
    to as performance chips have been used.
    This information will stay in the system ’s
    memory and cannot be erased even if the
    modification is removed. Ford Motor
    Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico
    and service or repair facilities can retrieve
    this information when servicing your vehicle.
    Ford Motor Company may use this
    information to determine if your warranty
    covers any needed repairs.
    Note: Some aftermarket products may
    cause severe engine, transmission and
    exhaust system damage. See your warranty
    information for more details.
    Your new diesel engine may feel, drive and
    function somewhat differently than a
    gasoline engine. Therefore, it is very
    important that you read and thoroughly
    familiarize yourself and others operating
    the vehicle with this guide. There is a
    special procedure for turning off the diesel
    engine.  See Starting a Diesel Engine
    (page 176).  It is important to read and
    understand this material in order to
    maintain the best service life for your
    engine.
    Ford may discontinue models or change
    specifications without any notice and
    without incurring obligations.
    This manual may qualify the location of a
    component as left-hand side or right-hand
    side. The side is determined when facing
    forward in the seat.
