For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in  
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:  
• When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your  
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of  
the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety  
Compliance Certification label). Consult your authorized dealer for  
specific weight information.  
• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio  
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile  
communications systems — such as two-way radios, telephones and  
theft alarms - that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such  
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC  
regulations and should be installed only by a qualified service  
technician.  
• Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your  
vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive  
use.  
• To avoid interference with other vehicle functions, such as anti-lock  
braking systems, amateur radio users who install radios and antennas  
onto their vehicle should not locate the Amateur Radio Antennas in  
the area of the driver’s side hood.  
• Electrical or electronic accessories or components that are added to  
the vehicle by the authorized dealer or the owner may adversely affect  
battery performance and durability.

Ford Extended Service Plan  
Ford ESP Can Quickly Pay for Itself  
One service bill – the cost of parts and labor – can easily exceed the  
price of your Ford ESP Service Contract. With Ford ESP, you minimize  
your risk for unexpected repair bills and rising repair costs.  
Avoid the rising cost of properly maintaining your vehicle!  
Ford ESP also offers a Premium Maintenance Plan that covers items that  
routinely wear out.  
The coverage is prepaid, so you never have to worry about affording  
your vehicle maintenance. It covers regular checkups, routine  
inspections, preventive care and replacement of items that require  
periodic attention for normal “wear”:  
• Wiper blades  
• Spark plugs (except  
California)  
• Clutch disc  
• Brake pads and linings  
• Shock absorbers  
• Belts and hoses

lifestyle and budget.
