Buying a Ford Extended Service Plan
*
[IN04100(ALL)01/94]
If you bought your vehicle in the U.S., you can buy a Ford
Extended Service Plan for your vehicle. This optional contract
provides service protection for a longer period of time than the
basic warranty that comes with your vehicle.

[IN04200(ALL)01/95]
You do not have to buy this option when you buy your vehicle.
However, your option to purchase the Ford Extended Service
Plan runs out after 18 months or 18,000 miles. See your dealer
for more details about the Ford Extended Service Plan.

If you purchased a Canadian vehicle and did not take
advantage of the Ford Extended Service Plan at the time of
purchase, you may still be eligible. See your dealer for the
details.

Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle has new brake
linings, you should take these steps:
*
[IN06400(ALL)01/95]
— Watch traffic carefully so that you can anticipate when to
stop.
*
[IN06500(ALL)01/95]
— Begin braking well in advance.
*
[IN06600(ALL)01/95]
— Apply the brakes gradually.
*
[IN06700(ALL)01/95]
The break-in period for new brake linings lasts for 100 miles
(160 km) of city driving or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
highway driving.
