EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING:
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may result in entry of harmful and
potentially lethal fumes into the passenger compartment.
Your vehicle is equipped with various emission control components and a
catalytic converter which will enable your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission standards. To make sure that the catalytic
converter and other emission control components continue to work
properly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
•
Avoid running out of fuel.
•
Do not turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.
•
Have the items listed in
scheduled maintenance information
performed according to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed in
scheduled maintenance
information
are essential to the life and performance of your vehicle
and to its emissions system.
If other than Ford, Motorcraft
威
or Ford-authorized parts are used for
maintenance replacements or for service of components affecting
emission control, such non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine
Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability.
Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system
warning light or the temperature warning light, fluid leaks, strange odors,
smoke or loss of engine power could indicate that the emission control
system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged exhaust system may allow exhaust
to enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or improperly operating exhaust
system inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or engine. By
law, vehicle owners and anyone who manufactures, repairs, services,
sells, leases, trades vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles are not
permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent
