Emission Control System

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
which enables your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission requirements.
WARNING
Exhaust leaks may result in the entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes
into the passenger compartment. Under
extreme conditions excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the fuel
system, the interior floor covering, or
other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
246
To make sure that the catalytic converter and the
other emission control parts continue to work
properly:
Use only unleaded fuel.
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not push start your vehicle.
Have the services listed in the Maintenance
Schedule booklet performed according to the
specified schedule. The scheduled maintenance
services are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance
of your vehicle and to its emissions system.
In general, maintenance, replacement, or service of
the emissions control devices or systems in your
new Ford Motor Company vehicle or engine may
be performed at your expense by any automotive
repair establishment or individual using automotive
parts equivalent to those which your vehicle or
engine was originally equipped.
