GETTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
To fully assist you should you have a vehicle concern, Ford offers a
complimentary roadside assistance program. This program is separate
from the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and is not applicable to vehicles
sold in Canada. The service is available:
• 24–hours, seven days a week

• for the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period (U.S.) of two years

(unlimited miles)

Roadside assistance will cover:
• jump-starts.

• lock-out assistance.

• towing to the nearest Ford Motor Company dealership, or towing to

your selling dealership if within 35 miles (56 km). Even non-warranty
related tows, like accidents or getting stuck in the mud or snow, are
covered (some exclusions apply, such as impound towing or
repossession).

Using roadside assistance
Complete the roadside assistance identification card and place it in your
wallet for quick reference. This card is found in the Owner Guide
portfolio in the glove compartment.
To receive roadside assistance in the United States, call 1-800-241-3673.
If you need to arrange roadside assistance for yourself, Ford will
reimburse a reasonable amount. To obtain information about
reimbursement, call 1-800-241-3673.

HAZARD FLASHER

The hazard flasher control is located
on the instrument panel, to the right
of the steering wheel. The hazard
flashers will operate when the
ignition is off.

Push in the flasher control and all front and rear direction signals will
flash. Press the flasher control again to turn them off. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and is creating a safety hazard for other motorists.
Note: With extended use, the flasher may run down your battery.
FUSING
If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have
blown. Blown fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse.
Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any electrical components.

Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.

Power distribution box (PDB)

The PDB is located behind the cab
on the right-hand frame rail, behind
a protective cover.

To access the PDB, the protective
cover must be taken off the vehicle
by removing the two screws (shown
in illustration), then gently pulling
the cover off.

Note: Remove and install the cover
carefully so that no wires or cables
become disconnected or damaged.

Note: Always re-install the
protective cover to avoid water or
fluids from damaging the PDB or
other electrical components.
