BEFORE DRIVING
WARNING
Only Falcons factory built with
E-Gas are designed and tested
by Ford Motor Company to run on
LPG. Petrol Falcons are not compatible
with LPG fitment. LPG fitment on petrol
Falcons may compromise safe vehicle
operation, reduce the life of certain
engine components and result in non-
compliance with emission regulations.
Ford does not warrant or take
responsibility for any defect caused by
or attributed to fitment of LPG to a petrol
vehicle.
Note:
If your vehicle is fitted with locking
wheel nuts, record the serial number
(located on the adaptor) for future
reference. You can record this number
at the back of this book.
Before driving your new vehicle, a
