STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
CANADIAN VEHICLES
(Vehicles to be completed for sale or use in Canada)
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
More specifically:
• 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.
Refer to the “Vehicle Description” section of this manual for
additional information. Incomplete vehicles produced by Ford
Motor Company may require optional Prep Packages or trim
codes for certain applications listed on the Completed Vehicle
Types chart on page 7.
• Shields on ignition coils must remain installed.
• Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils
must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to
original equipment.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP (DRL)
Compliance representations for CMVSS 108, Lighting
and CMVSS 108.1, Headlamps, are in the “Statements of
Conformity” section of this manual.
• Electrical grounds on all components must be retained.
• Metallic components installed on the body or chassis must
be grounded to the chassis.
CANADIAN RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
INFORMATION
• Electrical circuits added to the vehicle must not be installed
near the high voltage ignition components.
• 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.
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-C108.4‑06,
Limits and Methods of Measurement.” Violation of these
regulations is punishable by fine or imprisonment. This Fordbuilt incomplete vehicle 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.
• Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any
manner.
• The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must not be relocated
from the position as installed by Ford Motor Company.
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.

F-SERIES
(February, 2012)
EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
CAUTION:
IMPORTANT:
For purposes of Government Regulation, a body builder,
installer, or any subsequent manufacturer may be
considered a manufacturer.
U.S.:
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.”
IMPORTANT:
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.
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.
HIGH ALTITUDE REQUIREMENTS
United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations
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.].
EMISSION CONTROL HARDWARE
FRONTAL AREA AND WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS:
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 restrictions 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. Additional emissions
certification information is contained in the Ford Truck Body
Builders Layout Book for the model year and type of this
incomplete vehicle.
The following Frontal Area and Weight Restrictions apply to the
completed vehicle:
• 6.2L with Pickup Box Delete option [NOTE: Export
vehicles use U.S. emissions]
– Maximum frontal area - 6.69 m2 [72.0 ft2] (SRW/DRW)
– DRW maximum completed curb weight - 4809 kg
[10,603 lb]
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
Note: Frontal area requirement includes the cab and second unit
body. The completed vehicle must meet Maximum UVW weight
for a GVWR of 4536 kg [10,000 lb] or less.
(February, 2012)
Further, to avoid any question of certification coverage,
approval of any modification or use of an engine or vehicle
which may 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
• 6.7L with Pickup Box Delete option [NOTE: Euro II /Euro

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE (ODS)
TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROLS
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.”
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.
Ford Motor Company has eliminated Class I ODS from its
manufacturing processes. All Ford Truck incomplete vehicles
will not have Class I ODS content.
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.
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.
VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABEL
To meet United States Environmental Protection Agency
regulations, the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI)
label must be affixed 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.
• Removal of, or rendering inoperative, exhaust system
components including the catalyst inlet pipe, muffler, outlet
pipe, resonator, or diffuser.
• 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.
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.
Additional noise emissions information is contained in the Ford
Truck Body Builders Layout Book.
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.
CALIFORNIA HEAVY-DUTY DIESEL ENGINE IDLING
REQUIREMENTS
The California Air Resources Board approved a regulatory
measure, effective January 1, 2008, to further reduce emissions
of toxics and criteria pollutants by limiting idling of new diesel
engine trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
greater than 14,000 pounds, with vocational exemptions for
certain buses, school buses, recreational vehicles, medium
duty vehicles, military tactical vehicles and authorized
emergency vehicles, as defined in various California Vehicle
Code sections. The regulation primarily requires manufacturers
of new California certified 2008 and subsequent model-year
diesel engines in these trucks to either incorporate a system
that automatically shuts the engine down after five minutes of
continuous idling or to meet clean-idle emission requirements.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
All 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 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.
A Super Duty F-Series diesel engine incomplete vehicle with a
GVWR greater than 14,000 pounds, as manufactured by Ford
Motor Company to be sold as a California emission labeled
vehicle, has a “Clean Idle” engine decal certifying compliance
to California diesel engine idle emission regulations. Should
modifications be made by a final stage vehicle manufacturer to
the diesel engine emissions system on vehicles with a GVWR
greater than 14,000 pounds, compliance to California clean-idle
requirements may be compromised; it is the responsibility of
the final stage manufacturer to comply with California emission
regulations.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
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,

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.
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.
CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
LABEL
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.
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.
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.)
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.
Completed vehicles for retail sale in California require a
machine-readable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) barcode 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.
Additional guidance for installing two-way mobile radios can
be found via the web at www.fordemc.com/docs/download/
Mobile_Radio_Guide.pdf.
• All incomplete vehicles except Basic (Stripped) Chassis type
vehicles will conform to this standard.
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.
