Our overall mutual goal continues to be the maintenance of Ford quality. Your role in this goal is simply to handle with care each vehicle you load, tie-down, and unload. The Ford method to load, tie-down, unload, and properly handle vehicles is fully described in this manual. Care must be taken to avoid chain contact with any vehicle component. Never allow tiedown chains to come in contact with the exhaust system, ABS wires, or control arms and observe all policy updates issued in Quality Assurance Bulletins. Answers to questions that may not be listed in this manual should be directed to your supervisor. All regular training at your company in the proper handling of Ford and Lincoln vehicles will be conducted by members of your management. This manual is available online for download. The link is: https://us.library.covisint.com/PublicDocViewer?nodeID=2803 For further details, contact the North American Vehicle Logistics (NAVL) office. For details regarding port quality and standards please contact Mark Kull ([email protected]). Your correct handling of each Ford vehicle is an important contribution toward meeting our quality goals. ALWAYS WORK SAFELY & HANDLE FORD VEHICLES WITH CARE! North American Vehicle Logistics Ford Motor Company Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 6 Safety Overview The safety guidelines issued by Ford and listed in the Rail and Haulaway Vehicle Handling Manual should be observed whenever they apply to your operation. Review the safety instructions for loading and unloading that are issued by the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The Origin Service Provider (OSP) must post and educate their team of any Safety and Quality bulletins published by North American Vehicle Logistics. All employees and visitors must abide by the Plant/Ramp/OSP’s safety guidelines and personal protection equipment requirements for the site. Shuttle vans must have emergency flashers in use or a top mounted emergency flasher in use at all times while on Ford property. Per Ford’s Global Policy, seatbelts are required while operating any vehicle on behalf of Ford Motor Company, both in the shipping yards and on public roads. The only exception to this policy is during the act of carhaul and rail loading/unloading, where this exception is needed to ensure the safety of the carhaul and rail operators as they position themselves to track the driver side of the vehicle during the loading/unloading process. Seatbelts are not required during the act of carhaul loading and unloading. Seatbelts are required during rail loading and unloading except for oversized vehicle (Superduty, E-Series, DRWs, and Transits). For clarification, when a carhaul or rail loader/unloader is moving a vehicle from a parking spot to the conveyance, seatbelts are required. Upon reaching the conveyance (carhaul rig or rail car), the seatbelt can then be unbuckled, as needed, for safe loading. Only drive and park in designated areas. Observe established driving patterns within aisle ways and never attempt to pass other vehicles. All drivers must come to a complete stop at end of aisle intersections to verify drive path is clear. When driving on public roads, obey all local traffic laws. Always drive defensively. Use headlights when driving during the times between dusk and dawn or when poor weather conditions exist. Use extreme caution while sharing the roadway with car haul or commercial vehicles. When walking, use designated pedestrian aisles and ensure you are visible to anyone operating vehicles or equipment you encounter. Do not exceed 15 MPH or posted speed limits when driving to and from loading or unloading areas. The loading and unloading speed should never exceed 5 MPH when driving on any incline. A lower speed (<5MPH) should be used on vehicles with low ground clearance. Always maintain a safe driving distance behind the vehicle in front and follow the 5 second rule. Excessive speeds and reckless driving will not be tolerated. No horseplay, eating, drinking, or use of tobacco products in any Ford/Lincoln vehicle or while driving an OSP shuttle van. Do not use mobile phones, tablets, or any personal electronic device while inside any in-transit vehicle. Follow proper securement methods in this manual. After Loading, ensure the Parking brake is fully engaged. Never load no-start vehicles on haulaway or rail equipment. If a no-start vehicle needs to be removed from a railcar or haulaway truck, a driver must be inside the no-start vehicle. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 7 Do not push vehicles with other vehicles. Do not attempt to charge a battery unless properly trained. High voltage components & wiring are usually labeled and/or covered with: orange convolute, insulation, stripe tape. Avoid these components to reduce risk of injury or death associated with high voltage electrical systems! In the event of an accident with any electric and hybrid electric vehicles refer to the Emergency Response Guide available online. The link is: http://evsafetytraining.org/Resources/Auto-Manufacturer-Resources/Ford.aspx Be a good co-worker: stop and educate your fellow co-workers if you see them working unsafely. Seatbelt Policy Per Ford’s Global Policy, seatbelts are required while operating any vehicle on behalf of Ford Motor Company, both in the shipping yards and on public roads. The only exception to this policy is during the act of carhaul and rail loading/unloading, where this exception is needed to ensure the safety of the carhaul and rail operators as they position themselves to track the driver side of the vehicle during the loading/unloading process. Seatbelts are not required during the act of carhaul loading and unloading. Seatbelts are required during rail loading and unloading except for oversized vehicle (Superduty, E-Series, DRWs, and Transits). For clarification, when a carhaul or rail loader/unloader is moving a vehicle from a parking spot to the conveyance, seatbelts are required. Upon reaching the conveyance (carhaul rig or rail car), the seatbelt can then be unbuckled, as needed, for safe loading. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 8 Management Instructions Loading/Unloading – Management All personnel engaged in rail/haulaway loading/unloading, and delivery activities must wear clean uniforms appropriate for the task being performed. Uniforms must be clean, free of exposed buttons, zippers, and fasteners to avoid scratching or soiling of vehicle exteriors/interiors. In addition, for the sake of personal safety, personnel should avoid wearing jewelry such as rings, watches, and bracelets; these items can lead to personal injury or vehicle damage. It is your responsibility, as a carrier for Ford Motor Company, to determine the appropriate dress code of your handling personnel to meet Ford’s quality requirements and all safety standards. It is also your responsibility to enforce full compliance with the uniform standard that you establish. Loading/unloading of Ford/Lincoln vehicles must be supervised at all times by a knowledgeable representative of the carrier, or an agent with the authority to ensure that vehicles are handled in compliance with the provisions contained within this publication. To prevent delay caused by shipping vehicles to the wrong destination, the full serial number must be checked against the invoice. Grounds Maintenance Vehicle parking bays must be clearly marked and wide enough to permit opening of doors without damage to nearby vehicles. All working areas should be kept free of debris and fluid spills. Drying agents should be applied to fluid spills immediately to minimize soiling of vehicle interiors. Rail Loading ramp angles must not exceed 4° for rail and 11° for haulaway. Vehicles having flat tires on rail must be aired up for removal, then once in the bay, contact Fenkel for tire replacement. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 9 Common Instructions Loading/Unloading – Personnel Keep tools they carry or use from contacting vehicle exteriors and interiors. Ensure Tie-down tools have protective covering on the handles. Prior to entering or exiting vehicles, items that should be verified are: hoods, doors, deck lids, tailgates, and windows are fully and securely closed; vehicle keys are not left in the ignition, door, deck lid, or tailgate; push button start is in the off position with the engine off; and protective seat and floor covers are properly positioned. Once in the loaded position or in the parking bay, items that should be verified are: all electrical accessories are turned off; the windshield wipers are in the down position; the ignition switch is in the off position or the push button start is in the off position with the engine off; the parking brake is firmly set; the transmission is in park or 1st gear; and the keys are properly placed – 1. Cup holder/2. Center console/3. Glove box – in that order based on what’s available for a particular vehicle. Do not compress the suspension (beyond the normal compression that comes from using tie down chains or soft straps) or deflate the tires to reduce vehicle height. In-transit vehicles must never be used for shuttling personnel around the yard. Do not alter or remove printed materials such as vehicle label, tags, starting instructions, or the owner’s manual. Flat tires are to be replaced prior to moving the vehicle to its next location. Contact Fenkel for tire replacement. Using the spare tire is prohibited. Loading/Unloading –Specific to Winter Conditions Never try to force frozen wiper arms to move. Use plastic/rubber (never any metal or wood device) ice scrapers to clear snow or ice and free frozen wiper arms. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 10 Facility Accumulated snow, ice or debris is removed from tie-down tracks and vehicle pathways (This also applies to railcars placed for unloading.) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD SALT BE USED TO MELT SNOW OR ICE TO EASE MOVEMENT OF TIE-DOWN DEVICES OR TO GAIN TRACTION ON RAILCAR DECKS OR LOADING RAMPS. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 11 No-Start Vehicle Procedures Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 12 No vehicle should be delivered to a dealer with a dead battery. Never try to push or use ether to start a vehicle. Never load no-start vehicles on haulaway equipment. No start vehicles equipped with power brakes, power steering, or electronic transmissions will be difficult to maneuver. Never cut the Rap-Gard seam at the hood opening to charge/replace a battery; instead, remove the entire sheet of Rap-Gard. Do not attempt to re-apply the Rap-Gard. Dispose of the Rap-Gard because unseen dirt or grit could scratch the vehicle. If a vehicle arrives on a railcar with a dead battery, it is to be jump started with an auxiliary power source and driven off the railcar directly to the facility’s battery charging station. For non-battery related no-start conditions, the vehicle must be pushed off the railcar by hand or towed with a low clearance towing vehicle/tool – in either case, a driver must be inside the no-start vehicle. The proper steps for charging a 12 Volt Batter are: 1) Check the Battery Charging Log to see if the vehicle had been previously placed on the facility’s charging system; 2) Charge the battery and record the VIN in the Battery Charging Log; and 3) If the charge holds, the vehicle can then be bayed and released to the carrier; or 4) If the charge does not hold, contact Fenkel, Ford’s authorized battery contractor. When using a booster battery to “jump start”, be careful that positive cables are attached to the proper battery terminal, and the negative cable is attached to the booster battery and the engine ground on the “no start” vehicle. In the no-start vehicle, turn on the heater blower motor and turn off all other accessories. Never use a booster battery from another in-transit vehicle. Never attach jumper cables or attempt to ground through the wiper assembly Follow all federal, state, local, company rules, and warnings on the battery relative to safe battery handling and disposal. Refer to the BEV Specific Instructions section (below) for instructions on how to recharge the high voltage battery in a BEV.

You’re responsible for managing and reconciling your inventory. If you discover a missing/stolen vehicle it is imperative that the following instructions be followed. Steps for Missing/Stolen Vehicles: Carrier should report missing/stolen vehicles immediately to: 1) Damaged Vehicle Operations (313) 248-1002 2) Local police department 3) Vehicle Shipping Supervisor if vehicle is missing from plant or plant confines. Confirm in writing with an email to Mary Heady ([email protected]) of Damaged Vehicle Operations (DVO) that ALL notifications were made and supply as much information as possible. Recovered vehicles must be reported to DVO immediately. Recovered vehicles must be inspected/categorized by the adjusting agency and are not to be delivered to the dealer unless directed by Ford DVO. Carrier must prepare Form 10032 on recovered units indicating vehicle had been stolen and report any damage when applicable. Reported Stolen units that are later recovered may not be sold as NEW and are required to go to auction. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 19 Ford/Lincoln Vehicle Handling and Loading Restrictions Special Handling: Transport Mode No vehicle should ever leave the factory gate out of transport mode or in factory mode. The vehicle screen should always read “Transport Mode” after being released from the factory. Depending on the model type of the vehicle you are driving the message will be displayed either directly behind the steering wheel on the screen or located on the center console screen. If discovered out of transport mode or in factory mode there are two courses of action you can take depending on where the vehicle is: 1) If the vehicle has not been shipped from the shipping yard, then the vehicle should be returned to the factory. 2) If the vehicle is at the ramp please apply exception code JG and authorization code NoTM. Please contact your local UPS contact if further clarification is needed. Please do not hold vehicle at ramp, continue to ship as normal. [OK to Ship] Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company [Return to Plant or Apply Exception Code] Page 20 Special Handling: Loading and Unloading Speed The loading and unloading speed should never exceed 5 MPH when driving on any incline. A lower speed (<5MPH) must be used on vehicles with low ground clearance (e.g. MKZ, Mustang, Continental, Fiesta; all passenger cars) when traversing over caution points* where there is a higher likelihood of contact between the vehicle and the inclined surface (see pictures below for examples of caution points). When driving down an incline the driver must maintain light pressure on the brake pedal to keep their speed below 5 MPH to avoid a hard stop at a caution point which results in even more downward bounce of the front end. During the process of loading or unloading, personnel must exercise extreme caution to avoid vehicle body side, roof or undercarriage contact with any hard surface. This is achieved by driving through the center at speeds that prevent vehicle bounce. Loading ramp angles must not exceed 4 degrees for rail and 11 degrees for haulaway. Speed restriction applies going over bridge plate’s in-between railcars as well. Examples of Caution Points on Haulaway Rigs Example of Caution Point When Loading Rail Caution Points: 1 mph Caution Points: 1 mph *A caution point is defined by any point in the loading or unloading process where two angles come together to cause the vehicle to be less than 2 inches from the equipment the vehicle is on Critical Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 21 Special Handling: Hybrid Electric Vehicles Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) are equipped with batteries with a weight around 93 pounds (42 kg) containing lithium. It is at the carrier's (sea – road – rail) discretion how many HEV may be loaded on a vessel, truck or wagon. Be aware that Voltage of the batteries can be up to 280V. Therefore all regulations to handle high voltage have to be respected. It is strictly forbidden to start any repair action without further and clear written advice from Ford. Be aware of danger of a potential hazardous electric shock or other potential serious accident important notice for all Carrier and Compounds. All carriers and compounds are responsible for instructing their employees, in native language, on these health & safety concerns. The reason for this is to make sure that the employees understand it and are able to ask questions. If Ford people are affected Ford has to make sure that their employees get a verbal instruction too. All instructions need to be documented. Hybrid Electric Vehicle Operation Hybrid electric vehicles operate under some circumstances from electricity stored in the onboard high voltage battery pack which power the traction motor, air conditioner, etc. While the standard 12V automotive battery is the power source for the computer system, lights, wipers, radio, accessories. There is also an internal combustion engine as in a typical vehicle. This document serves as a reference document to quickly acclimate outbound yard managers, rail loaders, car haulers, ramp operators, ports with the HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles). That said, should additional information be required please reference the owner’s manuals for the HEV.

When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white. When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated fuel economy are shown in amber Blue indicates only electric power is being used. White indicates hybrid power is being used. 1. Power-demand Gauge: Shows current power demand with an engine ON/OFF threshold. Keep power within the threshold to operate on battery power only. 2. Average Fuel Economy: Resettable by holding the OK button on the steering wheel. 3. Battery State: The Battery Gauge can be configured to display State of Charge, Charge Assist and Regen Active information. 4. EV icon: Appears when operating on lithium-ion battery power only. Charging High Voltage Batteries Never use another vehicle to jump start any Ford or Lincoln vehicle. The battery pack is a self-charging system and does not require regular service maintenance. The battery compartment is located behind the rear, fold-down seats. Cabin air is drawn through vents in the rear package tray (located near the rear speakers), and cools the battery. For optimal battery operation, keep these air inlets free of any potential obstruction. The battery pack should be serviced only by an authorized technician. Improper handling can result in personal injury or death. Refer to your Owner's Manual for more details. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 27 12V Low Voltage Battery The 12V battery located in the left side of the trunk is the power source for: computer system, lights, wipers, radio, accessories. Note: • • A discharged 12V battery will prevent the vehicle from operating (Accessory Mode, Start Mode) & prevent the HV batteries from being charged. Requiring the 12V battery to be recharged or replaced prior to HV charging and/or operating the vehicle. While in Start Mode the high voltage battery recharges the 12V battery via a DC to DC converter. 4.8.5.1 12V battery issues identified by battery not charging symbol or blank cluster. 4.8.5.2 Using a 12V jumper box or a 12V battery charger applied to the 12V battery may provide enough power to place the vehicle into Start Mode (Flat Towing: Accessory Mode in order to shift transmission into N (Neutral). This will enable the DC to DC converter to recharge the 12V battery via high voltage battery in Start Mode or via the engine. 4.8.5.3 Un-snap protective terminal cover from 12V battery. The 12V battery is located in the trunk, behind the left trim panel 4.8.4.5 Once vehicle in Start Mode keep jumper cables attached for three minutes before removing them.

However, due to the numerous truck models with varying wheelbases as well as the various load combinations, certain variations in tie-down methods are authorized as follows: In no instance are tie-downs to be achieved by fastening chains around rear axle housings or spring shackles. When it becomes necessary to provide additional frame clearance, on chassis cabs or cutaways, either one or both taillight assemblies, including the mounting brackets, can be completely removed from the frame, placed on the floor in the cab and re-installed at destination. When trucks are modified by carriers because of equipment limitations, it is the carrier's responsibility to reverse those modifications. The vehicle must be delivered to the destination in the same condition it was in when released by the shipper. Exhaust stacks and breather caps - when removed from trucks -must be wrapped and placed in the cab of the unit or banded to the frame from which removed. These parts are removed only when it is necessary to reduce the overall height to comply with state and federal clearance regulations while being transported. Vehicles with stacks or breather caps removed are not to be operated other than in loading or unloading operations. Trucks with flapper valves must have valves installed to prevent water entry into the engine. The carrier is responsible for the replacement and reconnection of any exhaust stacks and breather caps that were removed. When vehicles have been modified with up fits they may be handled differently and will be addressed by Quality Assurance Bulletins (QAS) issued by NAVL. WARNING: Instructions for the re-installation of exhaust stacks and breather caps must be followed carefully and completely. Properly installed exhaust stacks and breather caps may be necessary for compliance of the vehicle with the noise emission regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for medium and heavy trucks. The removal of these components - for purpose of shipment without proper re-installation - or the use of the vehicle - other than in loading or unloading after these components have been removed -may violate the Federal Noise Control Act.

Rail Instructions Rail Instructions: Transport Equipment Railcars must be maintained in a manner that provides damage free transportation. Any of the following defects make a railcar unfit for loading until permanently repaired. Broken cross members Cracked uprights Broken or loose tie-down tracks Inoperative ratchets Less than 100% door edge protection Inoperative hinged decks Inoperative end doors Loose or missing side shielding Bridge plate pipes loose or missing Cracked or broken barrel rings Railcars must be equipped with wheel chock assemblies as follows: Tri-Levels with Thrall car or Standard car chock assemblies. Bi-Levels with minimum of 48 Holden chock assemblies. Rail carriers are responsible for furnishing (and maintaining) portable bridge plates of sufficient length and quantity to allow safe loading and unloading. Prior to placement for loading, railroad personnel must make certain that railcars have been Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 65 inspected and serviced per AAR specifications as follows: All railcars have 100% door edge protection Tie-down devices are lubricated and defective devices are repaired or replaced (as required) Hinges for hinged decks are lubricated and the decks are locked in the raised position (as-required). Hinges for end doors are lubricated and the doors are locked in the open position (as required). Accumulated snow, ice or debris is removed from tie-down tracks and vehicle pathways (This also applies to railcars placed for unloading.) NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD SALT BE USED TO MELT SNOW OR ICE TO EASE MOVEMENT OF TIE-DOWN DEVICES OR TO GAIN TRACTION ON RAILCAR DECKS OR LOADING RAMPS. Carriers or their agents are responsible for de-icing railcars prior to loading and unloading. Commercial chemical compounds such as "Urea" or a mixture of 60% ethylene glycol and 40% water may be used for de-icing purposes. Rail Instructions: Transport Equipment (Continued) Multilevel cars must be placed for unloading so that all vehicles can be driven off forward. Where railcar loading or unloading is performed, railcars on the same track must be compatible. No more than 3" of height difference should exist between railcars. Do not load/unload through more than 5 railcars. NOTE: FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE GUIDELINES WILL EXPOSE VEHICLES TO ROOF AND UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE. When placed for loading or unloading, railcar couplers must not be compressed. Compressed couplers will not allow bridge plates to be properly seated and, thereby, reduce loading height clearances. Should slight deck height differences exist, bridge plates should be attached to the higher deck. NOTE: FAILURE TO LEAVE COUPLERS IN THEIR NORMAL EXTENDED POSITION WILL EXPOSE VEHICLES TO ROOF AND UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE. Hand brakes must be set on all railcars with air "ON". NOTE: FAILURE TO SET BRAKES PROPERLY WILL EXPOSE VEHICLES TO MAJOR DAMAGE - AND LOADING AND UNLOADING PERSONNEL TO INJURY SHOULD BRIDGE PLATES FALL DUE TO RAILCAR MOVEMENT. At destination ramp locations - where Ford and competitor traffic are unloaded at the same Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 66 time - Ford loads must be placed nearest the unloading dock to avoid the reduced height and width clearances of multilevel railcars used by competitors (for example, 20'2" extended height tri-levels). BI-LEVEL RAILCARS WITH E-SERIES AND DUAL REAR WHEEL FENDERED PICKUPS MUST BE PLACED NEAREST THE UNLOADING DOCKS. DUE TO THE HIGH/WIDE CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE VEHICLES, DRIVING THROUGH RAILCARS SHOULD BE MINIMIZED. Rail Instructions: Loading/Unloading A railroad representative should thoroughly inspect units upon receipt for loading and document exceptions noted. Similar inspections should be made at destination. Prior to loading or unloading, the track must be inspected to be sure that railcars are placed in the prescribed manner as described on the preceding pages. Deviations must be corrected before loading or unloading begins. When loading any railcar, the operator should drive the vehicle centered between the two chock rails avoiding tire contact with beginning of the outer chock rail. Driving thru railcars and at all decks, drivers should drive vehicle centered avoiding contact as much as possible with the rail chocks. Same precautions as listed above should be taken when unloading the vehicle from the railcar. Vehicles in the loaded position must have a minimum of 3 inches between Vehicles and 5 inches from end doors unless otherwise directed by North American Vehicle Logistics Operations (NAVL). When loading railcars with hinged "B" decks, all vehicles loaded on the "A" deck must be properly tied down (chain only) before lowering and locking the hinged decks. When unloading railcars with hinged "B" decks, vehicles loaded on "B" deck must be unloaded and the hinged decks raised and locked before releasing tie-down chains on "A" deck. All personnel responsible for loading should be aware that rail cars with RAVE doors should not be loaded onto routes destined for Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico. This initiative is also being driven by the VEQ, MUAR, and MPEC participants.

Vehicles must have the required front to rear and overhead clearances to avoid contact during transport. Automatic Transmissions must be in Park. Manual transmissions must be in 1st gear. Vehicles transported in totally enclosed railcars are to be left UNLOCKED. All keys are to be handled in compliance with local standards. Glove box door is to be securely closed. Ignition and all electrical accessories must be turned off. All windows/vents must be fully closed. Parking brake must be set fully applied. Protective seat and floor coverings must be in place. Hoods, deck lids and tailgates must be properly closed. All keys are to be removed from external lock. Key code cards must not be visible. Rail Car Deck Capacity and Height Specifications Enclosed car inside clearance is 1,072" with a loading length of 1,062" after allowing for the 5 inch space requirement from the end doors. A minimum of 3" spacing between vehicles is required and 5" to end doors. There is a minimum of 3" lateral spacing required for loading on each side of the vehicle.

The reason for the addition of the "supplemental" chocks is to reduce the occurrence of vehicles jumping chocks. The rail carriers have chosen to adopt and procure two different supplemental chock designs from two different manufacturers – Holden and Zeftek. The "supplemental" chocks are to be used in conjunction with the current Holden chock system. The Basics: All bi-level railcars will still be equipped with 48 standard Holden chocks Bi-level railcars may also be equipped with 48 supplemental chocks The supplemental chocks will be either Zeftek OR Holden style If the railcar is equipped with supplemental chocks, it is mandatory to use ALL chocks as described in this bulletin. Holden Supplemental Chock System The vehicles must still be secured with the minimum number of standard Holden chocks as described in this manual. The four (4) outer tire positions for standard Holden wheel chock placements will not change from current procedure. If the railcar is equipped with Holden supplemental chocks it is mandatory all vehicles be chocked with the additional four (4) supplemental Holden chocks (see figure 3), on the inside tire position of all four tires (8 chocks per vehicle). Holden installation guidelines require chocking the four (4) inside tire positions leaving a gap of no more than three (3) inches (see figure 4). ALL vehicles must be secured with eight (8) chocks, four (4) standard Holden chocks at the outer tire positions in conjunction with four (4) Holden supplemental chocks on the inner side of the tire. Please refer to the vehicle matrix chart to see which Ford and Lincoln vehicles require supplemental chocks. Zeftek Supplemental Chock System If the railcar is equipped with Zeftek supplemental chocks the vehicles must still be secured with the minimum number of standard Holden chocks as described in this manual. The Zeftek supplemental chocks will be placed tight against the four outer tire positions in conjunction with the four (4) Holden chocks (see figures 5 and 6). If the vehicle requires more than four (4) chocks, then the standard Holden chock will be used by itself on the required inner tire positions (see figure 7).

Combinations must be manufactured or modified to allow opening of one front door for vehicle entry or exit without contacting metal surfaces. Combinations must be equipped with adequate drip protection for vehicles loaded in lower positions. The maximum permitted distance to "JUMP" a vehicle between deck sections is 7 inches. For distances greater than 7 inches, jumper plates or skids must be used and made part of the combination's regular equipment. All equipment must be in perfect working condition and free of sharp or jagged edges. All equipment should be inspected periodically to determine if replacement is required. Leasing company is to trip-lease only to carriers whose equipment meets Ford vehicle shipping standards. It is the responsibility of the leasing company to ensure that trip-leased equipment meets the above equipment requirements. Loading Prior to loading, be certain the vehicle pathway is clear of loose chains hanging from upper decks, jump skids or plates are properly positioned, and deck sections are positioned to avoid vehicle grounding. For dual rear wheel vehicles (DRW), inspect the pathway and area near the hydraulic arm to ensure there are no cotter pins, metal tabs or any other type obstruction that could lead to tire damage during the loading/unloading process. Protective padding should be added to any structure on the haulaway rig that may damage the vehicle on an as needed basis. Ideally vehicles should not be placed in locations where opening the door to exit or enter the vehicle is impeded by the haulaway equipment. During loading or unloading, vehicles must not be left unattended when tie-downs are not secure, unless the parking brake is firmly set and the transmission is in park or in gear. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 73 Loading (continued) NOTE: WHILE IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO LEAVE VEHICLES IN PARK OR IN GEAR DURING LOADING OR UNLOADING, IT IS MANDATORY THAT VEHICLES ARE SHIPPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HAULAWAY TRANSMISSION MATRIX TO DETERMINE PARK/NEUTRAL SHIPPING POSITION. Front and rear tie-down chains must exert opposing forces; for example, when front chains slope forward, rear chains must slope rearward. All chains must be pulled down evenly, unless noted otherwise. Do not over tighten. The over tightening of chains to gain clearance is prohibited. Tie-down chain angles must be approximately 30º to 50º on all units. NOTE: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID CHAIN CONTACT WITH ANY VEHICLE COMPONENT All vehicles transported on haulaway equipment must be tied down with FOUR chains. After a vehicle is tied-down there must be a minimum of one wrap of the chain around the ratchet bar. After tying down, a minimum 2" clearance must be maintained between the vehicle underbody and the trailer. After tying down, a minimum 3" clearance from bumper to bumper or trailer, must be maintained. After tying down, a minimum 4" clearance must exist between the vehicle roof, hood or deck lid and the top deck. After tie-downs are secure, transmissions must be placed in accordance with Haulaway Transmission Matrix. When adjusting decks after loading, be aware of vehicle locations to avoid vehicle contact with upper decks. Vehicles are not to be modified in any manner for any reason by the carrier (do not remove roof racks, let air out of tires, etc.). Prior to departure, all loads must be inspected and approved for proper tie-downs and clearances by a designated inspector or supervisor. It is important that all tie-downs are inspected periodically while in transit and any necessary adjustments are made. Unused tie-down chains must be secured in a manner that will prevent vehicle contact. Decks are not to exceed 18º during transit. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 74 NOTE: LOADED VEHICLES MAY BE LEFT UNLOCKED ON UNINTERRUPTED HAULS AND THEN ONLY WHEN DRIVERS REMAIN WITH THEIR RIGS AND PROVIDE SECURITY. Prior to departure, the driver must check the load height to make certain that loaded vehicles will not be exposed to damage from overhead obstructions en route. Be aware of low clearance vehicles when loading and adjust speed accordingly. NOTE: PULL-DOWN SHOULD NOT EXCEED 2" UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED. TO REDUCE VEHICLE BOUNCE, THE REAR END SHOULD BE TIED DOWN FIRST. THE PROPER TIE-DOWN PROCEDURE FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THE REAR TIE-DOWN HOLE FORWARD OF THE REAR WHEEL IN THE SIDE OF THE TORQUE BOX IS: FIRST - TIE DOWN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, PULLING DOWN THE REAR END 2" TO 3" - THEN TIE DOWN THE FRONT, PULLING DOWN THE FRONT END 3" TO 4". Chock Equipment – Use a two-point tie-down on each vehicle and set the wheel chocks. Put one chain on each end on opposite sides of the vehicle pulling in opposite directions (i.e., one chain on the right front and one chain on the left rear). Special Handling Soft Strap Requirements for Haulaway NAVL has approved the use of "Soft Strap Over-Tire Securement" for new vehicle shipping on haulaway trailers. Although this approval pertains to the new securement process, your teams must continue to follow all guidelines for haulaway shipping as detailed in this manual. Spacing requirements for Soft Strap Over-Tire Securement are as follows: 4 inches - underbody 4 inches - bumper to bumper 6 inches - roof, hood, deck lid, & top deck Four tires must be secured with Soft Strap Over-Tire Securement on all corners. Carriers must: Ensure that all equipment meets industry safety guidelines. Provide driver team members with instructions for proper loading, tie-down, and unloading techniques for Soft Strap Over-Tire Securement. Ensure internal guidelines provide for safe and damage-free vehicle deliveries. Decks are not to exceed 18º during transit Up fits/Modified Vehicles As required, Quality Assurance Bulletins will be issued by NAVL to explain special handling requirements for vehicles that have modifications. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 75 CHECKLIST - VEHICLE INSPECTION AFTER LOADING As a final check, the following inspections must be performed: All four tie-down chains on each vehicle are secured in prescribed tie-down holes exert opposing force and are taut. Tie-down chains are not bearing against vehicle component. All vehicles have sufficient front-to-rear, roof, hood, deck lid, and underbody clearances. All vehicles have transmissions set in compliance with Haulaway Transmission Matrix and parking brakes firmly set. All electrical accessories are "OFF" and windshield wipers are down. All doors, hoods, deck lids, tailgates and windows are fully and securely closed and doors locked (if trip is interrupted i.e. leaving Haulaway Rig unattended). Jump plates or skids, loading skids and stands are secured in transport position. There is sufficient clearance between vehicles on tractor ramps and trailer for turns. Overall height is within route clearance. Ensure keyless entry card is not exposed to exterior view. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 76 Ford Approved “T” Hook NOTE: THE "T" HOOK SHOULD BE USED IN THE SLOTTED HOLES INDICATED IN "TIE-DOWN LOCATIONS". ALL FORD/LINCOLN CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS ARE DESIGNED TO USE "T" HOOKS THAT MEET SAE J1142 FEB94 FOR ALL TIE-DOWNS. CHAIN ANGLES ARE TO BE 30 TO 50 DEGREES. Grab Hook Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company T Hook Page 77 "T" HOOK SPECIFICATIONS: NOTE: DIMENSIONS ARE IN INCHES DUE TO EXISTING EQUIPMENT. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 78 Miscellaneous Instructions After loading, if there is not enough time to deliver the load, drivers are required to park rigs in carrier's terminal yards. Drivers found parking loaded rigs at private residences, public lots or other unprotected areas will be reported along with a request for disciplinary action. Each carrier must make every effort to obtain a signed delivery receipt from the dealer or his authorized representative showing the date, actual time of delivery and condition of the vehicle. It is acceptable for the dealer to mail or fax the delivery receipt, containing the required information and inspection detail, on the next normal business day for vehicles delivered during non-normal dealer business hours. It is required that a cooperative process must be established with the respective dealership prior to initiating after-hour deliveries. Handling of Refused Vehicles: Should a dealer refuse to accept delivery of a vehicle, the driver must immediately contact his Terminal Manager by telephone (collect, if long distance or toll) from the dealer's place of business, advising the Terminal Manager of the vehicle's complete serial number, item number, vehicle model and reason for dealer refusal. Under no circumstances is the driver to accept vehicle disposition instructions from the dealer or leave the vehicle at the refusing dealer's location. The driver must remain at the dealer's place of business until his Terminal Manager has provided vehicle disposition instructions. Vehicle disposition instructions must be recorded on the freight bill (bill of lading) by the driver, such as a return to terminal or diverting a vehicle to another dealer. In all cases of refused vehicles, the invoice, and certificate of origin (COV) must be returned to the Terminal Manager. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 79 Bailment Pool Units Bailment pool units typically are not ordered with a specific ship-to dealer code; however, bailment units are limited to those having a F87 prefix. Please remember that NO bailment unit should be final delivered to these F87 locations. Please adhere and follow the guidelines below. 1) Please do not physically deliver bailment units to the F87*** ship-to location on the 1A ASN. 2) Please do not report a final delivery to the bailment ship-to location F87 in COPAC. 3) Please report a move to the upfit location or ship-thru ramp provided in the 1A/G/H record. This move record should not be a final delivery record. 4) If the unit is re-assigned once completed at upfitter, please use the new ship-to dealer location provided within the new ASN and report a final delivery in COPAC to the new ship-to location. It is possible that the carrier responsible for handling re-entry may not be set up to receive the route code found in the new ASN. To confirm, further investigation may be required by NAVL. All carriers will be held responsible for their mis-shipped vehicles. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 80 Carrier Arrival Inspection Receiving and Inspecting New Vehicles: The receipt of vehicles and regulations for submitting and settling loss and damage claims are governed by the Surface Transportation Board. These regulations protect both the shipper/owner of cargo and the carrier. Receiving inspections are an integral part of this process and are required by all parties taking control and care of a Ford/Lincoln new vehicle in transit from plant to final dealer destination. Bill of Lading/Delivery Receipt: The bill of lading/delivery receipt is an inspection delivery document used for all final destination deliveries by all carriers. The document allows space for more than one vehicle to be delivered on the same document. Space is provided on the form to allow you to annotate transportation damages, missing items, as well as a remarks section. Coding System for Bill of Lading/Delivery Receipt: Standard Logistics Damage Codes are published by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and are a consensus of automotive manufacturers and others substantially interested with its scope and provisions. AIAG has laminated pocket cards available for purchase by Carrier. These cards should be provided to each of Carrier drivers and/or inspectors. Use of AIAG damage codes is mandatory when Carrier submits damage/loss inspection data to Ford or its agent. Materials are available by contacting AIAG at: Automotive Industry Action Group, 26200 Lahser Road, Suite 200, Southfield, Michigan 48034, (248) 358-3570. The five digit damage code is comprised as follows: Damage Area Code – First and Second Digit Damage Type Code – Third and Fourth Digit Damage Severity Code – Fifth Digit Multiple unrelated damages with the same damage area and type noted on the same panel should be entered separately. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 81 Carrier Interchange Responsibilities Delivering Carrier: Delivering carrier must follow drop-off instructions from receiving carrier. Vehicle must be unloaded and parked in designated area. Ford will assign damage and/or loss liability to any carrier who cannot demonstrate the completion of their contracted move. Ford does not accept destination inspections from delivering carriers. Receiving Carrier: Arriving inspections must be made prior to the receiving carrier taking control and care of the vehicle (moving the vehicle from the parked drop-off location). Receiving carrier must transmit noted damages to Ford’s agent within twenty-four (24) hours of vehicle drop-off. Failure to do so will constitute a waiver by Carrier of its right to submit such information. For purposes of determining liability for damage, the parties agree that the vehicle will be deemed to have undergone no physical change from the condition established by a prior inspection report. (See New Carrier Transporting Ford Vehicles Claim Policy Manual, on how to transmit inspection records to Ford.) Inspection Verification: Ramp operators or carriers must not restrict another carriers loading/unloading process by unreasonable verification procedure or inspection wait times. Verification inspectors must be available during all hours of operation or agreements for handling off-hour damages must be in place. The type and severity of damages must be reasonable and agreed upon by the interchanging carriers. Missing verification is not a valid declination of liability unless the delivering carrier can provide a written agreement stating otherwise. Delivering Carrier Notification of Damage: Damages are transmitted to the delivering carrier by the receiving carrier as the two carriers agree; however, delivery of carrier notification of damage is not required for Ford to assign carrier liability based on the arriving inspection data as long as the data transmission occurs within twenty-four (24) of delivery receipt. Should carriers have issue with delivery/arriving ramp procedures Ford will work to help bring the issue to resolution, but should resolution not occur, Ford will assign liability to the carrier based on the preponderance of evidence. It’s in the best interest of all parties to work cooperatively during inspection and reporting of damage or loss. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 82 Carrier Responsibilities When Delivering New Vehicles Driver Duties: The carrier driver must verify transportation loss or damage notation on the bill of lading/delivery receipt is complete and accurate, write the date and time of delivery, then sign the document. The driver can make comments in the driver section but should refrain from using words intended to identify source of damage (“factory damage”, “not carrier damage”). Should a carrier want further driver information on description of damage and/or potential cause of damage, they should use an internal document. Driver’s should not have access to independent inspection data or share with destination dealers damages found during the arriving inspection. No Starts: Should a vehicle be disabled, dealers are instructed to provide assistance under the carrier’s responsibility and driver’s supervision. Dealership personnel are instructed not to drive vehicles until the bill of lading is signed, except to wash them for inspection. Ford Motor Company reserves the right to regularly and randomly perform vehicle handling/yard audits without any advance notification. Ford Motor Company Auditors will be permitted to enter the property in a timely fashion. At no time shall the auditor be detained from entering a facility/yard. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 83 Dealer Pick-Up at Ramps and Plants Releasing Contacts: At assembly plants – the plant releasing contact would be the contact At rail yards – the rail releasing contact would be the contact At haul away ramps – the haul away carrier would be the contact Process: 1. Dealer faxes or e-mails the request to pick up units: • Include the 17 digit VIN • Name of dealer representative signing for the units, • Name of tow or haul away company if applicable • If faxing use dealer letterhead or e-mail from dealership e-mail address 2. Releasing contact faxes or e-mails back to the dealer dates and times the units will be available for pick up, include directions to ramp and any special instructions. 3. Dealer representative picking up units must have photo ID, dealer letterhead authorization, and fax or e-mail from releasing contact. 4. Releasing contact should provide inspection/delivery document with VINs. Document should be carbonless copy or one sheet of paper that the releasing contact will photo copy for the dealer after inspection is complete and document is signed by the dealer representative and releasing contact. 5. Releasing contact and dealer representative should first verify the VINs are correct. 6. Dealer rep should do the new vehicle delivery inspection as directed in the Warranty & Policy Manual, Section 2, note damage and sign the inspection/delivery document. No transportation damage claim will be honored for damage found after the inspection/delivery document is signed at the point of pick up. 7. Releasing Contact should sign the inspection/delivery document and give a copy of to the dealer representative. 8. After the document is signed the units become the responsibility of the dealer. 9. Releasing contact should then enter the D2 code in COPAC showing dealer pick up. 10. Once confirmed (step #2 above), Dealer will have 48 hours to pick up the vehicle. After 48 hours the vehicle will be shipped to the dealer by normal method.

Contacts at Damaged Vehicle Operations are: Mary Heady 313-248-1002 [email protected] Brian Hicks 313-323-6590 [email protected] In-Transit Damage Procedure Carrier Liability: Carriers are liable for damage or loss to Ford/Lincoln vehicles while the vehicle in stored under the control and care of the carrier. Property should be maintained and secured to prevent damage and theft. Battery State-of-Charge: Carriers are responsible for maintaining the battery state-of-charge while in long term storage. If the battery eye is “red” or the voltage is less than 12.50 recharge the battery. All ramp operators must have and maintain battery charging stations of the industrial type. If the battery still fails to hold a charge, the carrier is instructed to call Ford’s agent – Fenkell Automotive Services for a battery replacement. Carriers are liable for the cost of battery replacement where recharge did not take place prior to calling Fenkell. Tires and Wheels: Damaged Tire and/or Wheels or broken Glass must be replaced as soon as possible to mitigate damage to the vehicle. Damage to tires causing deflation requires replacement with a new matching tire. Damaged tires cannot be repaired, nor are they available as salvage. Wheels with damage affecting drivability must also be replaced with a new replacement wheel. Wheels with minor scratches or scuffs should have the damage noted during the inspection and shipped as is to the final destination dealer. Broken glass must be replaced with matching Ford/Lincoln product. When vehicles are stopped for any tire/glass/battery repair(s), a “BG” code should be entered in the COPAC system as well as the applicable authorization code (See COPAC Codes for Damaged Vehicles page 77 for details). Service Provider: All Battery, Tire, Wheel, and Glass replacement to Ford/Lincoln new vehicles are to be made by Ford’s authorized agent which is Fenkell Automotive Services. Contact Information: Fenkell Automotive Services 800-325-3517 or 586-276-1700 Attention: David Wensing or Mary Taranto www.fenkell.com or [email protected] Paint or Body Damage Ramp Procedure: Vehicles that have incurred severe transportation paint or body damage in transit should be repaired before moving further in route (or a vehicle which must be repaired in-transit for safety reasons or prevention of additional damage). The carrier with control and Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 86 care for the vehicle at the time of damage must follow the procedure established by Ford. The carrier must enter a BY code in COPAC to show the unit has stopped for repair. Form 10032 (see page 79) must be completed online within VASCOR's system. An email is sent to VASCOR, AMRO and a regional AMRO supervisor. Once notified the adjuster will come to the ramp and write a repair estimate. The adjuster will direct the vehicle for delivery to the Damaged Vehicle Operations (DVO) authorized in transit repair dealer. An In Transit Repair register is no longer required to be submitted by email to DVO. This information is available based on electronic submission of the 10032 form. Damaged Vehicle Categories The AMRO adjuster will categorize the vehicle repair at the time an estimate is written. This category determines what happens to the vehicle after repair and the type of claims the carrier will receive from Ford Damage Claim Operations. Category A Definition: Vehicles that can be repaired and sold as new and warranted. The following conditions must apply: Auction Level Damage repairs must not exceed $1000.00 US and Canada. No Cut or Weld repairs. No compromising damage to functional components. Category B Definition: Vehicles incurring damage of a critical nature precluding sale as a new vehicle, but repairable for sale as a quality used vehicle at auction. Vehicles with damage to functional components/systems, such as, but not limited to axles, brakes, drive train, engine, frame, steering system, suspension system, transmission, recovered stolen units and repairs requiring cut and weld must be placed in Category B. Category D Definition: Vehicles severely damaged which will be sent to the Ford authorized scrap operation for disposition. Category F Definition: Vehicles incurring auction level damage repairs in excess of $1000.00 precluding sale as a new vehicle, but repairable for sale as a quality used vehicle at auction. Damage Claims: The liable carrier can expect to receive a repair claim for recovery of the full value of damage for Category A repairs. For Category B and F, the carrier can expect two claims, 1) the repair claim for the full value of repair damage, 2) Towing & AMRO Fee, 3) Transport to Auction, and 4) a loss of sale claim. COPAC Codes for Damaged Vehicles (Instructions to Ramp Locations) Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 87 When a vehicle requires tire, battery or glass repairs, contact Fenkell Automotive Services and if those repairs will delay the final delivery of this unit by over 24 hours submit the following in COPAC: 1) The "BG" transaction code (stops the clock) for damages repaired at the ramp. The BG code will require authorization code VTD001. 2) After repairs and final delivery, submit a final delivery record. When electronic 10032 procedures are followed, the carrier with control and care for the vehicle must submit the following in COPAC: 1) The "BY" transaction code (stops the clock) for all categorized damaged units (Use only when submitting an electronic 10032 form.) 2) The "BX" transaction code (puts the vehicle back in the system) for Category A repaired units-when shipped to the destination dealers to be sold as new-submit final delivery record. 3) The following transaction codes are to be input for vehicles which will be sold as used, donated or scrapped: a. "DV" for Category B b. "DW" for Category F c. "DX" for Category C d. "DY" for Category D Ramp to implement an edit to ensure they process a "BY" transaction code first and then either a "BX" or "DV"/“DW” transaction code to put the unit back in the system. A unit that has been put on a BY hold should not be released from a ramp without first entering a “BX”, “DV”, or “DW” code. All ramp operators are currently using the above notification procedure on damaged vehicles. Any questions in this regard should be referred to their respective data processing activity. For more detail instruction refer to Ford's New Carrier Transporting Ford Vehicles Claim Policy manual. Any questions regarding transmission of damaged vehicle codes should be directed to the COPAC team. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 88 Vehicle Receipt and Inspection Procedures (Reference Warranty & Policy Manual Section 2) Transportation damage charged to carriers must be evidenced by physical impact, abrasion, forced entry, or excessive soiling. Below are some conditions considered to be transportation loss or damage which must be noted on the bill of lading / delivery receipt, signed and dated. Be specific on size, area, and extent of damage. Interior damage. Tire and wheel rim damage and loss, including spare with damage to the Protective Wheel Cover. Wheel damage to be claimed as Transportation only if protective wheel cover shows evidence of impact or abrasion) NOTE: The only acceptable repair technique for damaged tires is replacement. Undercarriage damage. Missing items shipped loose as defined by the Loose Item Checklist. Options not on the invoice (vehicle window sticker) cannot be claimed Exterior glass scratched, chipped, or broken excluding stress cracks or blown out glass Damage or soiling of the driver’s area of the interior and obvious vandalism or abuse to any of the interior. Damage caused by physical impact, abrasion, or forced entry. Be specific on size, area, and extent of damage. IMPORTANT: Paint and sheet metal damage found under the RapGard used to protect painted surfaces from environmental fallout is not transportation damage unless the RapGard is physically damaged at the time of delivery, and it is so noted on the delivery receipt. Warranty Conditions which are not considered transportation damage; parts which should not be noted on the bill of lading/delivery receipt and which should be claimed as warranty include the following: Industrial fallout, acid or fluid dripping damage to exterior finish unless clear evidence supports Carrier responsibility. NOTE: Although not a factory defect, airborne material/environmental fallout (e.g., acid rain, or fluid dripping) damage to exterior finish or trim should not be noted on the bill of lading. Environmental fallout is reimbursable within 12 months/12,000 miles, whichever occurs first Wavy sheet metal, file, grinder or weld marks. Outward sheet metal dents. Inward dents with no paint damage, without evidence of physical impact, Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 89 abrasion, or forced entry (damage type code 14, with a severity code 1) except for Left Front Door. Paint runs, over spray, sags, blistered / peeling paint or foreign material in paint. Under-chrome defects, thin or peeling chrome.

Customers have up to one week from the new vehicle delivery date to report any preexisting dents, dings, chips, or scratches to the selling dealer. Dealers have up to one month in service to begin warranty repairs for these conditions that are not the carrier’s or the dealer’s responsibility. Paint chips on panel edges other than driver’s side door. NOTE: Correction (brush or spray can touch-up or spot polish/buff) of minor paint blemishes such as surface scratches (not in metal or base material), scuffs, or chips on edges of panels (not in metal or base material), is part of normal dealer vehicle preparation. These conditions cannot be claimed on either Warranty or Transportation claims and should not be noted on the carriers’ delivery document. NOTE: When a vehicle has to be towed to or from an in-transit repair dealer or destination dealer for warranty repairs, the tow charge should be claimed on the warranty claim using miscellaneous expense code “TOW.” Enter “Intransit Repair” in the comments section. These vehicles are not eligible to Roadside Assistance If there are any discrepancies between this document and the Warranty & Policy Manual, the Warranty & Policy Manual governs. Time Bound Policies Deliveries during dealer's normal business hours - transportation damage (except concealed damage) must be noted on bill of lading at time of delivery. Deliveries after normal business hours - dealers have up to 48 hours from the next business day to report damage in writing (certified mail recommended).

Perimeter fencing must consist of a minimum of 6' (1.83m) high chain-link fence topped with 3 strand barbed wire on brackets preferably angled outward from the facility. To further deter theft, steel guard railing with footers imbedded in concrete is to run along the inside of the perimeter fence. Cement "Jersey" barriers can be used in place of guard railing or can be incorporated into the fence, such as 42" of chain link fence on top of 30" of cement barrier. Where the use of guard railing or concrete barriers is not possible, a 5/8th inch steel cable must be attached inside the fence at approximately 3' (.9m) in height. The ends of the cable must be secured to fence posts that are set in concrete, or must be securely anchored into the ground (see theft deter examples further in this exhibit). Holding Lots with no barriers will require 24 hour security and at minimum, one security guard at the gate and one roving security guard. If the terrain around the parking area, such as a large ditch, will not allow a vehicle to cross the anti-theft measure in number 3 can be omitted. The number of gates must be limited (preferably 1) and be operated by security personnel or via a controlled access point. In cases where gates do not provide sufficient security, traffic flow restrictors (Such as tiger teeth) can be used. Use of a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) monitoring system is encouraged but not required. Ford (Temporary) Leased Facilities Temporary Fencing must be installed around the entire perimeter of the property regardless of terrain. Fencing must be 6 feet in height and allow for a single point of entrance/exit. Lots that don’t allow for the installation of temporary fencing may require additional security. Entrance point must be managed by Plant/OSP approved security guards. Temporary Lighting required for properties void of permanent light fixtures. Location and quantity of temporary light fixtures will vary based on the size/light dispersion of the temporary lighting and the acreage of the lot. Lots must be paved. Acceptations can be made with approvals from Plant/NAVL Quality and Launch for parking lots that are gravel or rolled asphalt millings. Security Guards – A minimum of 1 security guard is required to manage the entrance/exit for each offsite storage lot 24/7. In yards were temporary fencing isn’t a viable option a 2nd roaming guard is required to patrol the finished vehicle inventory 24/7. Inventory Tracking – OSP must configure parking logic and physicals as to allow individual vins to be assigned a parking location. Copyright, 2016, Ford Motor Company Page 99
