Anyone else's owners manual been modified?

[alec2538]

I was flipping through my manual just not (boredom struck) and noticed something funny: the section covering the parking brake had been modified. On both sides of the page there are carefully cut "overlays" that have been pasted over two sections, one on releasing the parking brake and one on the operation.

Obviously, I got curious and shined a flashlight through the back of the page. It was hard to make out, but the header quite clearly was "Automatic Parking Brake Release". Is there any reason why Ford would have replaced this information? I do have an '03 300A, so it's still got the automatic parking brake release.

Anyone else come across this oddity? I swear there are so many weird things with these cars for being such a small run!

Interesting, now I have to take a closer look at mine. That being said mine is modified, the previous owner apparently couldn't speak English so he wrote down the German words under most things in the wiring and fuse diagrams.

Sounds like they adapted the manual for the 300B cars. I think my manual has those overlays and mine is an '03 300B, but I havent opened the manual in about 8 years so I don't know.

The 300B's had the auto parking brake release de-contented. Maybe your 300A doesn't have the original manual.
