Introduction
NOTE:
Please note this manual does not apply to hybrid responder sedan vehicles for upfitting. For hybrid responder sedan vehicle fit ups
please refer to the "Fusion Hybrid Responder Sedan Modifiers Guide".
Ford Motor Company has assembled this guide to assist vehicle modifiers in producing a safe and quality vehicle. Ford believes safety and
quality come first. To achieve customer satisfaction, we want to assist modifiers in achieving the highest standards of safety and quality in their
vehicles.
This book is divided into topics pertinent to vehicle modifiers. References are made to the current Fusion Hybrid/MKZ Hybrid/Fusion Energi
Workshop Manual for appropriate service procedures, torque specifications, component separation clearances and other standard information
which is common with an unmodified vehicle. Specifications unique to this guide are designated.
This modifier guide is not a "how-to" book; it should be used as a checklist to help make sure that certain important steps in the modification
process are considered. While Ford is providing this information to assist modifiers, it does not warrant the vehicles, methods, materials or the
workmanship of the modifier. Ford also does not warrant against failures that result from the modification of a vehicle.
Following the guidelines contained in this guide does not assure individual modifiers that the products they modify comply with US Federal or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect at the time of the modification. The guidelines set forth are based on engineering analysis
of typical vehicles. If the guidelines are followed, the modifier's efforts in certifying vehicles to applicable standards should be aided.
Compliance testing that may be required for certification of specific vehicle configurations or construction is the sole responsibility of the
individual modifier.
Genuine Ford Accessories For Your Vehicle
A wide selection of genuine Ford accessories are available for your vehicle through your local authorized Ford or Ford of Canada dealer.
These quality accessories have been specifically engineered to fulfill your automotive needs; they are custom designed to complement the
style and aerodynamic appearance of your vehicle. In addition, each accessory is made from high-quality materials that meet or exceed Ford's
rigorous engineering and safety specifications. Ford Motor Company will repair or replace any properly installed genuine Ford accessory found
to be defective in factory-supplied materials or workmanship during the warranty period, as well as any component damaged by the defective
accessory. The accessory will be warranted for whichever provides you the greatest benefit:
•
12 months or 20,000 km (12,000 mi), whichever occurs first; or
•
the remainder of your new vehicle limited warranty.
This means that genuine Ford accessories purchased along with your new vehicle and installed by the dealer are covered for the full length of
your new vehicle's limited warranty — 3 years or 60,000 km (36,000 mi), whichever occurs first. Contact your dealer for details and a copy of
the warranty.
Considerations When Using or Installing Accessories
For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and/or luggage to your vehicle, do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
•
or gross axle weight rating (GAWR) as indicated on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. Consult your dealer for specific weight
information.
•
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulates the use of
mobile communication systems, such as 2-way radios, telephones and theft alarms that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC regulations and should only be installed by a qualified service
technician.
•
Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use.
•
To avoid interference with other vehicle functions, such as the anti-lock brake system (ABS), amateur radio users who install radios and
antennas onto their vehicle should not locate the antenna in the area of the driver's side hood.
•
Electrical or electronic accessories or components that are added to the vehicle by the dealer or the owner may adversely affect battery
performance and durability.
