RISK FACTORS
Before purchasing any Notes, you should read carefully this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and the following description of risks. For additional risk
factors regarding Ford and Ford Credit, see the risk factors discussions in Ford Credit's 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A.
DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
This description of the terms of the Notes adds information to the description of the general terms and provisions
of debt securities in the Prospectus. If this summary differs in any way from the summary in the Prospectus, you
should rely on this summary. The Notes are part of the debt securities registered by Ford Credit in March 2006 to be
issued on terms to be determined at the time of sale. In addition to the Notes offered hereby, debt securities in the
aggregate principal amount of approximately $4,000,000,000 previously have been designated for sale or have been
sold under this registration statement.
The Floating Rate Notes
The Floating Rate Notes will initially be limited to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount, will be unsecured
obligations of Ford Credit and will mature on January 13, 2012 (the "Floating Rate Maturity Date"). The Floating
Rate Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and do not provide for any sinking fund. The Floating Rate Notes
will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and will be issued in integral multiples of $1,000 for higher
amounts.
Ford Credit may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Floating Rate Notes, issue
additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Floating Rate
Notes. Any such additional notes will, together with the Floating Rate Notes, constitute a single series of notes under
the Indenture. No additional Floating Rate Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to
the Floating Rate Notes.
The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest from the Issue Date at a floating rate determined in the manner
provided below, payable on January 13, April 13, July 13 and October 13 of each year (each such day a "Floating
Rate Interest Payment Date"), commencing April 13, 2007, to the persons in whose names the Floating Rate Notes
were registered at the close of business on the 15th day preceding the respective Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,
subject to certain exceptions.
The per annum interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes (the "Floating Interest Rate") in effect for each day of an
Interest Period (as defined below) will be equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 275 basis points (2.75%). The
Floating Interest Rate for the initial Interest Period (as defined below) will be 8.11% per annum. Thereafter, the
Floating Interest Rate for each Interest Period for the Floating Rate Notes will be set on the 13th day of the months of
January, April, July and October of each year (each such date an "Interest Reset Date") until the principal on the
Floating Rate Notes is paid or made available for payment. The applicable interest rate will be determined two
LIBOR Business Days prior to each Interest Reset Date (each such date, an "Interest Determination Date"). If any
Interest Reset Date (other than the initial Interest Reset Date occurring on the Issue Date) and Floating Rate Interest
Payment Date for the Floating Rate Notes would otherwise be a day that is not a LIBOR Business Day, such Interest
Reset Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day, unless the
next succeeding LIBOR Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case such Interest Reset

Date and Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding LIBOR Business Day.
"LIBOR Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New York or the
City of London, is not a day on which banking institutions are generally

authorized or obligated by law to close. "Interest Period" shall mean the period from and including an Interest Reset
Date or, in the case of the initial Interest Period, from the Issue Date to but excluding the next succeeding Interest
Reset Date and, in the case of the last such period, from and including the Interest Reset Date immediately preceding
the Floating Rate Maturity Date to but not including such Floating Rate Maturity Date. If the Floating Rate Maturity
Date is not a LIBOR Business Day, then the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the Floating Rate
Maturity Date, or any day thereafter. "Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in
The City of New York, is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law to
close.
The "Three-Month LIBOR Rate" shall mean the rate determined in accordance with the provisions described in
the accompanying prospectus for LIBOR Telerate with an Index Maturity of three months.
The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are outstanding (the "Daily Interest Amount")
will be calculated by dividing the Floating Interest Rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by
the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any
Floating Rate Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such Floating
Rate Interest Period.
The Floating Interest Rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted
by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.
The Floating Interest Rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for each Floating Rate
Interest Period will be determined by the calculation agent. All calculations made by the calculation agent shall in the
absence of manifest error be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Ford Credit and the holders of the Floating
Rate Notes. So long as the Three-Month LIBOR Rate is required to be determined with respect to the Floating Rate
Notes, there will at all times be a calculation agent. In the event that any then acting calculation agent shall be unable
or unwilling to act, or that such calculation agent shall fail duly to establish the Three-Month LIBOR Rate for any
Interest Period, or that Ford Credit proposes to remove such calculation agent, Ford Credit shall appoint itself or
another person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the
calculation agent.
The Fixed Rate Notes
The Fixed Rate Notes will initially be limited to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount, will be unsecured
obligations of Ford Credit and will mature on December 15, 2016 (the "Fixed Rate Maturity Date"). The Fixed Rate
Notes are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. The Fixed Rate Notes will be issued in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and will be issued in integral multiples of $1,000 for higher amounts.
Ford Credit may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the Fixed Rate Notes, issue additional
notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Fixed Rate Notes. Any such
additional notes will, together with the Fixed Rate Notes, constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No
additional Fixed Rate Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes.
The Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest from the Issue Date. Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will be payable on
June 15 and December 15 of each year (each such day a "Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date"), commencing June 15,
2007, to the persons in whose names the Fixed Rate Notes were registered at the close of business on the 15th day
preceding the respective Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, subject to certain exceptions.
