Introduction
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
