ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the car, you decide
to install electrical accessories that
require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.)
or accessories that in any case burden
the electric supply, contact Ford
Dealership, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable
devices belonging to Lineaccessori Ford,
will also evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is able to withstand
the load required, or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
