Just like all the hidden easter eggs in the promo shots of the Ranger, the writer of the owners manual had some fun - one example:

For those of you not in the know of 80's songs, it was a popular song by Tommy Tutone

OOPS! Guess I wasn't the first to notice it!
As I was forced to wait 45 minutes for my truck to be delivered to me, I showed it to the salesman who sold me the truck. He didn't understand the reference.

I think they have the same "Call Jenny" and "867-5309" in all of their manuals, but it is clever.

Your response made me curious - I went out and looked at our 2016 C-Max manual and it doesn't have it, or the 2016-2018 manuals don't either. Then I went and looked at a 2018 F-150 manual and it didn't have it, but the 2019 Ford F-150 manual did. Apparently somewhere in the writers office in 2019 someone got a sense of humor.... :)

My wife's name is Jennifer (some family members call her Jennie) and she hates that song too.
