[IN04100(ALL)01/94]
If you bought your vehicle in the U.S., you can buy a Ford

basic warranty that comes with your vehicle.

You do not have to buy this option when you buy your vehicle.

Plan runs out after 18 months or 18,000 miles. See your dealer
for more details about the Ford Extended Service Plan.

Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle has new brake
linings, you should take these steps:

stop.

*
[IN06600(ALL)01/95]
— Apply the brakes gradually.

highway driving.
