STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
IMPORTANT:
The “Statements of Conformity” section of this manual lists the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date of
manufacture of this incomplete vehicle that are applicable to the
type(s) of completed vehicles into which this incomplete vehicle
may be manufactured. This date is shown on the label affixed
to the cover of this manual. These statements, in most cases,
apply to specific types of incomplete or completed vehicles and
identify GVWR and UVW weight ranges.
To rely on the compliance representations in this manual,
the incomplete vehicles must be completed as one of the
completed vehicle types designated on the label affixed
to the cover of this manual, and must not exceed the
specified GVWR, GAWRs, or the Unloaded Vehicle Weight
limits when specified in this manual.
This vehicle was certified with a GVWR over 3856 kg
[8500 lb]. If the GVWR is modified to less than 3856
kg [8500 lb], additional Federal and/or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (F/CMVSS) may apply.
The incomplete vehicle type is identified by the 5th, 6th, and
7th digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); see page
7. The completed vehicle types to which this incomplete vehicle
may appropriately be completed is printed on the label, under
the heading “May Be Completed As,” that is affixed to the cover
of this document. The Completed Vehicle Types charts on page
8 identifies how various incomplete vehicles with an Optional
Prep Packages or a Trim Code, may be completed.
VEHICLE SPECIAL ORDER (VSO) VEHICLES
VSO vehicles can be identified by a six digit number with the
letters VSO below the digits in the lower right corner of the
Incomplete Vehicle Information Label which is affixed to the
driver-door lock pillar. See the sample label on page 7.
Each statement of conformity is identified by a safety standard
number located at the left margin. Because there may be
multiple statements of conformity for each safety standard,
use care to select the appropriate statement. Unique CMVSS
requirements will be identified at the conclusion of the
representations for a particular safety standard.
The Statements of Conformity section of this manual includes
compliance representations for certain VSO vehicles. These
vehicles are identified in the charts on page 8. Other VSO
vehicles may require additional Statements of Conformity which
will be in the Supplement Section of this manual.
Compliance statements provided in this manual are of the
three following types (49CFR568.4):
Type I • A statement that the vehicle, when completed,
will conform to the standard if no alterations are
made in identified components of the incomplete
vehicle.

• The GVWR
The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act and Regulations
require installation of an Incomplete Vehicle Information Label
with the National Safety mark on it on vehicles manufactured
for sale in Canada. A sample of a typical label is shown below.
• The front and rear GAWRs
OPTIONAL PREP PACKAGES
• Tire and wheel size
Incomplete vehicles produced by Ford Motor Company, in some
instances, are equipped with an optional prep package. These
include the Ambulance Prep, School Bus Prep, Motorhome
Prep, and Shuttle Bus Prep. The completed vehicle type charts
on page 8 will identify incomplete vehicles and the optional
prep packages or trim codes that may be required by Ford
Motor Company if final stage manufacturers wish to rely on
the Statements of Conformity or, in some cases, preserve the
Ford Motor Company new vehicle warranty.
• Cold tire inflation pressure (kPa/PSI)
• Completed vehicle type(s) into which the incomplete
vehicle may be manufactured
• Optional prep package when the vehicle is so equipped
INCOMPLETE VEHICLE INFORMATION LABEL
All E-Series incomplete vehicles manufactured by Ford Motor
Company will have an Incomplete Vehicle Information Label
affixed to the driver-door lock pillar, except Basic (Stripped)
Chassis. The Incomplete Vehicle Information Label for the
Basic (Stripped) Chassis is affixed to the front structure and
a second label is provided to be permanently affixed in an
acceptable location per 49CFR567.4. A sample of a typical
label is shown below.
If an incomplete vehicle is equipped with an optional prep
package, both the Incomplete Vehicle Information Label affixed
to the vehicle and the label on the front of this manual will
identify the prep package.
The 5th, 6th, and 7th digits of the Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) will identify the incomplete vehicle type. These three digits
are used in the Completed Vehicle Types charts on page 8.

Alternative Cross Member Locations For E-Series Second Unit Bodies
This letter amends the 2010MY E-Series Compliance Demonstration Report Package by making Post Job #1
revisions to the Incomplete Vehicle Manual to allow more alternatives for mounting the second unit bodies to the
Ford E-Series Cutaway & Stripped Chassis. Additional flexibility, related to frame rail extension and frame cross
member location, is provided while still maintaining Ford pass-through compliance for F/CMVSS 301.
The agreed upon changes affect only – E350 C/A & Stripped Chassis, 10K GVWR and below Incomplete Vehicle,
Non-School Bus, 138"/158"/176" WB, Single/Dual Rear Wheel Applications.
Additional Dimensions For Cross members and Frame:
(Reference Diagram A and Table 1 for more details)
1. The revisions allow the FSM to use either the #7A Hat Section or #7B Tubular Cross member
in any Non-School Bus application that requires a #7 cross member. They also provide
guidelines for acceptable mounting locations of the #7 and #8 cross members and for frame rail extension.
2. "K" dimension is added to provide a minimum dimension of the #7A or #7B from the rear edge of the fuel tank
flange to the rear surface/edge of the cross member.
3. "M" dimension is added to specify the maximum allowable frame stretch length aft of the #7A or #7B cross
member. The measurement is from the rear surface of the #7 cross member to the
end of the frame rail.
4. "S" dimension is added to specify alternative locations of the #8 cross member. The measurement is from the
design location to a maximum allowable forward position. The #8 cross member may be located anywhere within

(Continued)
• The body installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer
and the Ford installed fuel system components are
located and mounted as follows:
– The body is mounted securely and is so designed
that when the completed vehicle is tested in any
manner specified by applicable provisions of
Standard 301,
(a) body components do not contact any fuel system
component at any time (other than at the points
where the fuel system is permanently attached
to the body), and,
(b) body deformation or movement relative to
the frame does not cause any fuel system
component to be penetrated, disconnected, or
otherwise damaged.
– Body installations using flexible attaching systems
require use of a flexible/adjustable attachment in
conjunction with a shear plate, both mounted aft of
the fuel tank. Flexible/adjustable attachments located
within 10 inches of the rear surface of the fuel tank
are required to be either an inverted U-bolt, a J-hook,
or a chassis clamp.
• The rear end of the body (excluding the rear bumper)
installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer does
not extend beyond (overhang) the rear edge of the
vehicle frame or frame extension. Any extension of the
vehicle frame must be constructed and attached so as
to perform as a continuation of the vehicle frame when
the completed vehicle is tested in any manner specified
by applicable provisions of Standard 301.
• The E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis aft-of-axle fuel
filler cap, pipe, hose(s), and attaching hardware are
installed as shown in Figure K. All components must be
securely retained to remain intact when the completed
vehicle is tested in any manner specified by applicable
provisions of Standard 301.
The Basic (Stripped) Chassis is equipped with a Fuel
Shutoff Switch. The switch is located on the column
support structure for E-Series and must not be relocated,
altered, or modified in any way.
However, Ford Motor Company has tested completed
vehicles incorporating a representative fuel system
and frame assembly of a Basic (Stripped) Chassis in
accordance with the procedures of Standard 301 at
test weights specified by Section 7.1.6 of the Standard.
The tested vehicles met the applicable requirements of
Standard 301. This vehicle, when completed, is capable
of compliance with Standard 301, Fuel System Integrity, if:
• The following fuel system components as installed
by Ford Motor Company are not removed, relocated,
altered, or modified in any way except as specified in
the following representations:
– Fuel tank and attachment hardware, including
sending unit, vapor valve, OBD II pressure transducer,
fuel tank shield, fuel pump relay, and in-tank electric
pump
– Fuel filler cap, pipe(s), hose(s), any provided
protective wrap, and attachment hardware
– Fuel lines, routing, and attachments
– Vapor line(s) and carbon canister
– Fuel filter
– Fuel fuel pump relay
• No other alteration or modification is made to the
incomplete vehicle, as manufactured by Ford Motor
Company, and no other components or structure
installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer result
in penetration, separation, or other damage to the
fuel system or any portion thereof when the vehicle
is tested in any manner specified by applicable
provisions of Standard 301.†
• The completed E-Series has an Unloaded Vehicle
Weight that does not exceed the value designated in
Table A on page 14 corresponding to the model, and
wheelbase.
† Temporary removal of the front bumper and front bumper mounting
system during manufacture, and reinstallation in accordance with
the instructions provided in the Ford Truck Shop Manual, should not
adversely affect compliance of the completed vehicle to Standard 301.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
More specifically:
Refer to the “Vehicle Description” section of this manual for
additional information. Incomplete vehicles produced by Ford
Motor Company require, for certain applications, optional Prep
Packages or trim codes which are listed on the Completed
Vehicle Types charts on page 8.
• All components required to suppress RFI emissions, which
are removed during service, repair, or completion of the
vehicle, must be reinstalled in the manner in which they were
installed by Ford Motor Company.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (DRL)
• Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils
must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to
original equipment.
• Shields on ignition coils must remain installed.
Compliance representations for CMVSS 108, Lighting
and CMVSS 108.1, Headlamps, are in the “Statements of
Conformity” section of this manual. The following items are also
required for CMVSS 108 and 108.1 compliance:
• Electrical grounds on all components must be retained.
• Metallic components installed on the body or chassis must
be grounded to the chassis.
• The DRL circuits in the Smart Power Distribution Junction
Box (SPDJB) are not to be altered.
• The SPDJB module is not to be repositioned.
• Electrical circuits added to the vehicle must not be installed
near the high voltage ignition components.
• The E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis, when equipped with
a SPDJB module configured for Daytime Running Lamps as
provided by Ford Motor Company, is designed only for a two
headlamp system.
• Only “static conductive” accessory drive belts should be used.
Fan, water pump, power steering, and other belts should be
of the OEM type or equivalent that will not build up a static
electrical charge.
• Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any
manner.
CANADIAN RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
INFORMATION
• The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must not be relocated
from the position as installed by Ford Motor Company.
All vehicles powered by spark ignition engines (e.g.: gasoline,
natural gas, or propane engines) and manufactured in Canada
or for sale or use in Canada are subject to the Canadian
“Regulations for the Control of Interference to Radio Reception”
per Interference-Causing Equipment Standard (ICES-002) and
applicable test method according to “CAN/CSA-C108.4-M06”.
Violation of these regulations is punishable by fine or
imprisonment. This Ford-built incomplete vehicle (if other than
a Basic (Stripped) Chassis) was designed and manufactured
to be capable of meeting the regulatory requirements or such
modifications thereof as may have been authorized by the
Department of Communications. However, because Ford
Motor Company has no control over how this incomplete
vehicle is completed by subsequent stage manufacturers,
Ford Motor Company does not represent that the completed
vehicle incorporating the Ford-built components will comply
with applicable requirements.
Additional guidance for installing two-way mobile radios can
be found via the web at www.fordemc.com/docs/download/
Mobile_Radio_Guide.pdf.
The following information is supplied to subsequent stage
manufacturers to help them avoid increasing the RFI emissions
of this vehicle in the course of completing it.
For any completed vehicle, additional measures may be
needed to adequately suppress RFI emissions. Affected
components could include spark plugs, ignition wires, ignition
coils, ground straps, ignition component shields, accessory
drive belts, instrument voltage regulator suppressor assembly,
and ignition coil suppressor assembly.

EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
CAUTION:
IMPORTANT:
U.S.:
It is the responsibility of the body builder, installer, or
subsequent stage manufacturer to ensure that the
maximum completed vehicle curb weight and frontal area
specified by Ford are not exceeded. If these restrictions
are exceeded, or if the vehicle is modified such that it will
not comply with applicable emission standards throughout
its useful life, the body builder, installer, or subsequent
stage manufacturer will be considered a manufacturer for
purposes of complying with U.S. Federal, California, or
Canadian exhaust and evaporative emission requirements,
and Federal fuel economy standards, labeling, and certain
other requirements.
2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES ARE EMISSION CERTIFIED
FOR REGISTRATION IN SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE UNITED
STATES. FOR EXAMPLE, VEHICLES CERTIFIED AND
LABELED FOR SALE IN CALIFORNIA CAN NOT BE SOLD
IN THE STATES THAT REQUIRE FEDERALLY CERTIFIED
VEHICLES AND VEHICLES CERTIFIED TO FEDERAL
STANDARDS CAN NOT BE SOLD IN STATES THAT
REQUIRE CALIFORNIA CERTIFIED VEHICLES. IT IS THE
SUBSEQUENT STAGE MANUFACTURER’S RESPONSIBILITY
TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE CERTIFIED FOR THE STATE/
AREA IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL BE SOLD. EPA HAS
STATED THAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THEY
WILL NOT ENFORCE THESE REQUIREMENTS. FOR
FURTHER GUIDANCE CONSULT EPA’S “POLICY ON CROSS
BORDER SALES OF CALIFORNIA VEHICLES.”
HIGH ALTITUDE REQUIREMENTS
United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations
for the 2012 model year do not contain unique emission
certification requirements for trucks that will be sold or
delivered to customers for principal use above 1,219 m
[4,000 ft.].
CANADA:
IF THE COMPLETED VEHICLE IS INTENDED FOR SALE OR
USE IN CANADA, THE INTERMEDIATE OR FINAL STAGE
MANUFACTURER MUST INSURE THAT THE INCOMPLETE
VEHICLE IS ORDERED THROUGH A CANADIAN DEALER
OR IS ORDERED FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH
THE APPROPRIATE CANADIAN MARKET OPTION CODE.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN AN INCOMPLETE
VEHICLE THAT IS BUILT WITH AN EMISSIONS SYSTEM
AND LABELING THAT ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION ACT.
EMISSION CONTROL HARDWARE
Any body builder, installer, or subsequent stage manufacturer
must also assure that all emission control hardware furnished
with incomplete vehicles is on the vehicle and is operational
and that applicable instructions for incorporating such
hardware into the completed vehicle’s electrical or mechanical
systems are strictly followed.
MEDIUM DUTY PASSENGER VEHICLES (MDPV)
The EPA adopted separate emissions standards and requirements
for MDPVs beginning in 2005. A MDPV is defined as a heavy-duty
vehicle with a GVWR 10,000 lbs. or less designed primarily for
the transportation of persons (with seating for up to 12 persons,
or up to 9 persons rearward of the drivers seat). E-Series
vehicles ordered with the RV-Prep package are certified to MDPV
standards and may be converted to MDPVs without requiring
additional emission certification.
FRONTAL AREA AND WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS:
Complete 5.4L and 6.8L Vans and Wagons certified to California
>3856 kg [8500 lb] Medium Duty Vehicle (MDV) protocol also
have vehicle weight and frontal area restrictions. Modifiers that
add weight to a vehicle or increase the frontal area of a MDV
vehicle prior to sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser,
may be required to re-certify the vehicle for compliance with
applicable Federal or California emission standards. Some
heavy-duty incomplete vehicles are certified using chassis
certification protocol and will require vehicle weight and frontal
area restrictions (to retain emission certification). If your vehicle
is affected, the frontal area and unloaded vehicle weight
information will be found on the VECI label, which is located
in the engine compartment. Incomplete vehicles with engines
certified using heavy-duty engine protocol are not limited by
weight and frontal area restriction for exhaust emissions.
It is important that the final stage manufacturer observe vehicle
restrictions from vehicle safety requirements, etc., which are
located elsewhere in this manual.
IMPORTANT:
For purposes of Government Regulation, a body builder,
installer, or any subsequent manufacturer may be considered
a manufacturer.
E-SERIES (February, 2011)
49
Further, to avoid any question of certification coverage,
approval of any modification or use of an engine or vehicle
which may alter or render inoperative any of the emission
control components must be obtained from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency by the manufacturer making
such modification or use prior to distribution, sale, offering for
sale, introduction, or delivery for introduction of the subject
vehicle into U.S. commerce. Additionally, the manufacturer
making such modification or use must obtain approval from
the California Air Resources Board if the new vehicle will be
delivered for sale or use in the State of California.
UNLEADED GASOLINE LABEL
Regulations no longer require the manufacturer to affix
permanent labels reading “Unleaded Gasoline Only” or
“Unleaded Fuel Only” to vehicles destined for sale in the United
States or Canada. Such labels may however be required for
vehicles sold into other markets. It is the responsibility of the
body builder, installer, or any subsequent manufacturer to
properly label vehicles for the market in which they are sold.
EXTERIOR NOISE
New vehicles which have a gross vehicle weight rating in
excess of 4536 kg [10,000 lb], include a partially or wholly
enclosed operator’s compartment, and are manufactured for
use in the United States, must comply with U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s exterior noise emission regulations for
medium and heavy trucks (40 CFR Part 205, Subpart B)
which establish a noise emission limit of 80 dB (A).
However, the Basic (Stripped) Chassis as built by Ford is too
incomplete to constitute a regulated vehicle and Ford does not
represent that it complies with those regulations. With respect
to the Basic (Stripped) Chassis, it is the responsibility of the
subsequent stage manufacturer of that vehicle at the time it
first conforms to the regulatory definition of “vehicle” to comply
with the requirements imposed upon manufacturers by these
regulations.
EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROLS
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
Federal law prohibits the removal or rendering inoperative by
any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or
replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated
into such vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its
sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use.
Federal Law also prohibits the use of such vehicle after such
device or element of design has been removed or rendered
inoperative by any person.
The “Malfunction Indicator Light” is used to indicate malfunctions
of the engine’s emission control system and certain powertrain
emissions-related components. For all incomplete vehicles,
except Basic (Stripped) Chassis (which is not equipped with
an instrument panel), the MIL is Ford-installed and operational
in the instrument panel.
The E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis vehicle has the MIL
warning light installed in the instrument cluster, which is
shipped in the dunnage box. If an alternate instrument cluster is
utilized, the final stage manufacturer must install an operational
MIL in the instrument cluster. The MIL must be located on the
driver’s-side instrument panel, be of sufficient illumination
and location to be readily visible under all lighting conditions
and shall be amber in color when illuminated. The MIL, when
illuminated, shall display the phrase “Check Engine” or “Service
Engine Soon”. The word “Powertrain” may be substituted for
“Engine” in the previous phrases. Alternatively, the ISO engine
symbol may be substituted for the word “Engine” or for the
entire phrase. This is a requirement for emission certification.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the
acts listed below:
• Removal of fender apron absorbers, fender apron barriers,
underbody noise shields, or acoustical absorptive
material.
• Removal of or rendering inoperative the engine speed
governor so as to allow engine speed to exceed
manufacturer’s specifications.
• Removal or modification of air duct, air intake choke or
silencer, air cleaner, or air cleaner element.
OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE (ODS)
• Removal of, or rendering inoperative, exhaust system
components including the catalyst inlet pipe, muffler,
outlet pipe, resonator, or diffuser.
The Clean Air Act of 1990, Section 611 requires any product
(i.e., completed vehicle) containing or manufactured with any
Class I Ozone Depleting Substance on, or after May 15,1993
must be identified with a “clearly and conspicuously attached
label.”
• Removal of the fan shroud. Removal of or rendering
inoperative the fan clutch.
New vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada must comply
with applicable provisions of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 1106, Noise.
Ford Motor Company has eliminated Class I ODS from its
manufacturing processes. All 2012 Ford Truck incomplete
vehicles will not have Class I ODS content.
Additional noise emissions information is contained in the Ford
Truck Body Builders Layout Book.
Manufacturers, including subsequent stage manufacturers, are
required to label their products if the product, including any
component (whether manufactured by that manufacturer or
not), contains a Class I ODS or if the manufacturer used a Class
I ODS in the manufacturing of the product. In the case where
Ford Motor Company provides a label saying the incomplete
vehicle contains a Class I ODS that information must be placed
on the product warning label. (See EPA regulation on wording,
placement, size, and combining labels.) In Canada consult the
appropriate Provincial or Territorial Ministry of Environment.
WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
A copy of the appropriate Ford Truck Owners Guide and
Warranty Guide must be installed in every vehicle prior to
sale to the ultimate purchaser in order to provide emission
systems warranty information and maintenance schedules. It
also provides, where required by EPA noise control regulations
for vehicles having GVWR over 4536 kg [10,000 lb], noise
emissions warranty information, instructions for maintenance,
use, and repair of vehicle noise emission control systems, a
maintenance record format, and list of prohibited tampering acts.
VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABEL
To meet United States Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI)
label must be affixed in the engine compartment in a location
that is readily visible after installation and in such a manner
that it cannot be removed without destroying or defacing the
label. The label shall not be affixed to any equipment that is
easily detached from the vehicle.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
All 2012 Federal light and heavy duty trucks and all California
vehicles with gasoline engines are required to comply
with evaporative emissions requirements established by
the Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air
Resources Board. Production fuel systems supplied on
incomplete 2012 model year trucks manufactured by Ford
Motor Company comply with these requirements. If the
subsequent stage manufacturer adds to or modifies the
fuel system in any manner, it becomes the responsibility
of the modifier to assure compliance with the applicable
regulations. Refer to the Design Recommendation section of
the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book, for additional Fuel
System Evaporative Emissions information.
EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
When the VECI label is supplied, but not attached to the vehicle,
it must be permanently mounted in a readily visible location
to meet the preceding requirements. In addition, whether
the label is already affixed or to be affixed, no components
shall be installed which visibly obscure the label in any way
that fails to satisfy the visibility requirements described in the
California Emission Control Label Specifications. For Canadian
requirements consult Section 1100 8 (1) (d) (i), (ii), & (iii), as
applicable.
50
E-SERIES (February, 2011)
CALIFORNIA FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY
For the VECI and VIN labels, sufficient clearance shall be
provided to use a non-contact bar-code Reading Wand. For
the VECI label, the label and any adhesives used shall be
designed to withstand typical vehicle environment conditions
in the area where the label is attached for the vehicle’s total
expected life. Typical vehicle environmental conditions shall
include, but are not limited to, exposure to engine lubricants
and coolants (e.g., gasoline, motor oil, brake fluids, water,
ethylene glycol), under hood temperatures, steam cleaning,
and paints or paint solvents.
California regulations require that the vehicle fuel systems be
designed to accommodate a vapor recovery fueling nozzle
including unobstructed access to the fill pipe. Fuel filler pipes
installed per Figures J & K (Ref: Standard 301) will comply with
the “Specifications For Fill Pipes and Openings of Motor Vehicle
Fuel Tanks” referenced in Title 13 California Administrative
Code provided no part of the aftermarket body, as installed,
intrudes within a 254mm [10 in] radius cylinder which has its
axis parallel to the ground at point “Z” (Figure K illustrates a
typical point Z). The cylindrical zone uses the axis described
above, starts at the outer most surface of the Ford supplied
fuel filler housing, and projects outward (away from the frame).
The fuel pipe housing component is shown on the referenced
figures and is attached to the aftermarket body via 3/16 inch
diameter rivets.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
The ignition system on your vehicle (if other than a Basic
(Stripped) Chassis) has been designed to be capable of
compliance with RFI requirements established by the Canadian
government. However, because Ford Motor Company has
no control over how an incomplete vehicle is completed by
subsequent stage manufacturers, Ford Motor Company does
not represent that the completed vehicle incorporating the
Ford-built components will comply with those requirements. Any
ignition system component (i.e.: spark plugs, ignition wiring, coil
suppressor assembly, etc.) that is replaced should be replaced
by the same Ford Motor Company part number or equivalent
to maintain RFI suppression.
CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
LABEL
To meet California emission certification regulations, the Vehicle
Emission Control Information (VECI) label must be welded,
riveted, or otherwise permanently attached to an area within
the engine compartment or to the engine in such a way that
it will be readily visible to the average person after installation
of the engine in a vehicle. In selecting an acceptable location,
the manufacturer shall consider the possibility of accidental
damage (e.g., possibility of tools or sharp instruments coming
in contact with the label). The label shall be affixed in such a
manner that it cannot be removed without being destroyed or
defaced, and shall not be affixed to any part which is likely to
be replaced during the vehicle’s useful life. For motor vehicles
rated at 6350 kg [14,000 lb] GVWR or less, the label shall not
be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the
vehicle. As used in these specifications, readily visible to the
average person shall mean that the label shall be readable
from a distance of 460 mm [18 in] without any obstructions from
vehicle or engine parts (including all manufacturer available
optional equipment), except for flexible parts, (e.g., vacuum
hoses, ignition wires). Alternately, information required by these
specifications to be printed on the label shall be no smaller
than 8 point type size provided that no vehicle or engine parts
(including all manufacturer available optional equipment),
except for flexible parts that can be moved out of the way
without disconnection, obstruct the label.
While there are currently no RFI regulations in the United
States specifically applicable to automotive ignition systems,
all Ford Motor Company trucks built with an ignition system
use the same or equivalent components to those supplied on
Canadian vehicles.
Ford Motor Company recommends that all ignition system
service be performed at a Ford authorized service facility to
help hold RFI emissions levels to a minimum.
Additional RFI information is contained in the “Canadian
Vehicles” section of this manual.
Devices that emit radio frequency (RF) energy such as AM/FM
radios, mobile telecommunications systems (two-way radios,
telephones), and radio controlled security systems are subject
to the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications
Communication (FCC), including 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15. Any
such system installed in a vehicle should comply with those
rules and should be installed only by a qualified technician.
In addition, to ensure continued compliance with the FCC’s
regulations, RF devices must not be modified or changed in a
manner not expressly approved by Ford Motor Company Mobile
Communication Systems. RF devices particularly, if not properly
installed, may adversely affect the operation of the vehicle. For
example, such systems when operated may cause the engine
to stumble or stall. In addition, such systems themselves may
be damaged or their operation affected by the operation of the
vehicle. (Citizens Band [CB] transceivers, garage door openers,
and other transmitters whose power output is 5 watts or less,
ordinarily will NOT affect vehicle operation.)
Completed vehicles for retail sale in California require a
machine-readable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) bar-code
label made of paper, plastic, metal, or other permanent material
which shall be affixed in a readily visible location to either the
door-latch post next to the driver’s seating position, the door
edge that meets this door-latch post, or above the instrument
panel in a location clearly visible through the lower left corner
of the windshield.
• All incomplete vehicles except Basic (Stripped) Chassis type
vehicles will conform to this standard.
Because Ford Motor Company has no control over the
operation or manufacture of such systems or their installation,
Ford Motor Company cannot assume responsibility for any
adverse effects or damage if this equipment is used.
• Basic (Stripped) Chassis type vehicles:
Conformity with CARB Motor Vehicle Emission Control Label
specifications for VIN label cannot be determined based
upon the components supplied on this incomplete vehicle.
Accordingly, Ford Motor Company makes no representation
as to conformity with this requirement.
