    							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:

    features and options available throughout
    the range of available models, sometimes
    even before they are generally available.  It
    may describe options not fitted to the
    vehicle you have purchased.
    Note:  Some of the illustrations in this
    manual may show features as used in
    different models, so may appear different
    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 your
