Then drive away in the normal manner.


If the engine still does not start, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been triggered. For directions on how to reset the switch see Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch later in this chapter. A computer system controls the engine’s idle speed. When you start your vehicle, the engine’s idle speed normally runs high. These faster engine speeds will make your vehicle move slightly faster than its normal idle speed. It should, however, slow down after a short time. If it does not, have the idle speed checked. If the engine idle speed does not slow down automatically, do not allow your vehicle to idle for more than 10 minutes. Have the vehicle checked.


RWARNING


Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.


RWARNING


Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.


*[ST10500(ALL)03/95]


If you consistently start your vehicle in subzero temperatures, use an engine block heater (if your vehicle has this option).

Starting Your Contour


Engine Block Heater (If equipped) Engine block heaters are strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach -10˚F (-23˚C) or below. An engine block heater warms the engine coolant, which improves starting, warms up the engine faster, and allows the heater-defrost system to respond quickly. To turn the heater on, simply plug it into a grounded 110-volt outlet. Ford recommends that you use a 110-volt circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.


RWARNING


To prevent electrical shock, do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters.


For best results, plug the heater in at least three hours before you start your vehicle. Using the heater for longer than three hours will not damage the engine, so you can plug it in at night to start your vehicle the following morning.

Starting Your Contour


If your engine cranks but does not start after a collision or substantial jolt: 1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position. 2. Check under the vehicle for leaking fuel. 3. If you do not see or smell fuel, push the red reset button


down. If the button is already set, you may have a different mechanical problem.


4. Turn the ignition key to the ON position for a few seconds,


then turn it to the OFF position.


5. Check under the vehicle again for leaking fuel. If you see or


smell fuel, do not start your vehicle again. If you do not see or smell fuel, you can try to start your vehicle again.


6. Check all vehicle warning lights before driving the vehicle. Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes Carbon monoxide, although colorless and odorless, is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.


RWARNING


Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or other enclosed area. Never sit in a stopped vehicle for more than a short period of time with the engine running. Exhaust fumes are toxic. See Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes in this chapter for more instructions.


RWARNING


If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

Warning Lights and Gauges


Brake System Warning Light The warning light for the brakes can show two things — that the parking brake is not fully released, or that the brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir. If the fluid level is low, the brake system should be checked by a qualified service technician.


This light comes on when the parking brake is set, or if it is not set, it comes on briefly when you turn the ignition to the START position. It normally goes off shortly after the engine starts and you release the parking brake. If the light stays on after you have fully released the parking brake, have the hydraulic brake system serviced by your dealer or a qualified service technician.


RWARNING


The BRAKE light indicates that the brakes may not be working properly. Have the brakes checked immediately.

Charging System Light This light indicates that your battery is not being charged and that you need to have the electrical system checked.


This light comes on every time you turn the ignition to the ON or START position (engine off). The light should go off when the engine starts and the alternator begins to charge. If the light stays on or comes on when the engine is running, have the electrical system checked as soon as possible. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light This light indicates the engine’s oil pressure, not the oil level. However, if your engine’s oil level is low, it could affect the oil pressure. The light will come on briefly when you turn your key to the START and ON position. The light should stay off when the engine is running with normal oil pressure. If the light comes on while the engine is running, you have lost oil pressure and continued operation will cause severe engine damage.

Warning Lights and Gauges


If you lose engine oil pressure: 1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible. 2. Shut off the engine immediately. If you do not stop the engine as soon as safely possible, severe engine damage could result.


3. Check the engine’s oil level, following the instructions on checking and adding engine oil in this Owner Guide. (See Engine oil in the Index.) If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured. To ensure an accurate reading, your vehicle should be on level ground.


4. If the level is low, add only as much oil as necessary to


bring it to the full level before you start the engine again. Do not overfill. Do not operate the engine if the light is on, regardless of the oil level. Contact your nearest dealer for further service actions.


High Beam Light This light comes on when the headlamps are turned to high beam or when you flash the lights. If the high beam light flashes in a vehicle equipped with the Daytime Running Light (DRL) system (Canada), it indicates a failure in the DRL circuit. Check the bulbs and fuses or have the DRL system checked by your dealer or a qualified service technician.

Warning Lights and Gauges


Check Engine Warning Light The Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) system consists of the hardware and software necessary to monitor the operation of the powertrain. The OBD II system is designed to check the function of the vehicle’s powertrain control system during normal operation. If an emission problem is detected, the Check Engine Warning Light (in the cluster) is turned on. Modification or additions to the vehicle may cause incorrect operation of the OBD II system. Additions such as burglar alarms, cellular phones, and CB radios must be carefully installed. Do not install these devices by tapping into or running wires close to powertrain control system wires or components.


This light comes on briefly when you turn the ignition to the ON position, but should turn off when the engine starts. If the light does not come on when you turn the ignition to the ON position or if it comes on and stays on when you are driving, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. This indicates a possible problem with one of the engine’s emission control systems. You do not need to have your vehicle towed in. If the light turns on and off at one (1) second intervals while you are driving the vehicle, it means that the engine is misfiring. If this condition persists, damage could occur to the engine or catalytic convertor. Have your vehicle serviced at the first opportunity. You do not need to have your vehicle towed in.

If the light turns on and off on rare occasions while you are driving, it means that a malfunction occurred and the condition corrected itself. An example of a condition which corrects itself occurs when an engine running out of fuel begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine Warning Light may turn on and will then set a Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel was being consumed. After refueling, the Check Engine Warning Light will turn off after the vehicle has completed three consecutive warm up cycles without a misfire condition occurring. A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a cold condition (engine at ambient temperature) and running until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. On the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine Warning Light will turn off as soon as the engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to have the engine serviced. Under certain conditions, the Check Engine Warning Light may come on if the fuel cap is not properly installed. If the Check Engine Warning Light comes on and you suspect that the fuel cap is not properly installed, pull off the road as soon as it is safely possible and turn off the engine. Remove and replace the fuel cap, making sure it is properly seated. After completing the three consecutive warm up cycles and on the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine Warning Light should turn off. If the light does not go off after the fourth engine restart, have your vehicle serviced by your dealer or a qualified technician.

Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel you have in the fuel tank. For proper fuel gauge operation, the ignition must be in the OFF position before you add fuel to the fuel tank. The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel movement within the tank. An accurate reading may be obtained with the vehicle on smooth, level ground. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the gauge indication will not be accurate. The pointer moves from the white mark into the NORMAL band as the engine coolant warms up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate within the NORMAL band under normal driving conditions. Under certain driving conditions, such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up hills in hot weather, the pointer may indicate at the top of the NORMAL band.

Sport Cluster The sport cluster has basically the same standard warning lights and gauges as the standard cluster, with the following additional features: Tachometer The tachometer displays the approximate engine revolutions per minute (rpm), or how fast the engine is running. If you drive with the tachometer in the red zone, you may damage the engine. Anti-lock Brake System Warning Light (If equipped) Your vehicle may have an Anti-lock Brake System feature. If it does, check the Anti-lock Brake System light each time you start the engine. If it stays on longer than three (3) seconds, shut off the engine and restart. If it stays on, that means the Anti-lock Brake feature is not working and should be serviced immediately to restore the benefits of the Anti-lock feature. Normal braking is not affected unless the brake warning light is also lit. The Anti-Lock Brake System has self-check capabilities. As described above, the system turns on the anti-lock light each time you start your engine. After the engine is started and the anti-lock light turns off, the system performs another test the first time the vehicle reaches 5 mph (8 km/h) (between 12 and 25 mph [20 and 40 km/h] for vehicles equipped with the traction control system). The system turns on the ABS pump motor for approximately 1/2 second. At this time, a mechanical noise may be heard and felt. This is a normal part of the self-check feature. If a malfunction is found during this check the anti-lock light will come on.

Any position selected between full right and full left will give a temperature between the two extreme temperatures. The cool temperature you select will not be cooler than the outside temperature if your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner. H Fan speed adjustment The H (left) knob on the control is the fan speed knob which controls the volume of air flow. Rotate the H knob to HI to increase fan speed and increase the amount of air entering the vehicle. Four fan speed positions are available and are indicated by LO, two single dots and HI beside the H control knob. Air flow selections PANEL Use PANEL to bring outside air through the instrument panel registers. You can heat the air in this position by rotating the temperature control knob into the RED area. The air CANNOT be cooled below the outside temperature regardless of the temperature control knob setting.

MAX A/C The MAX A/C position produces cool air more rapidly to provide faster cooling of your vehicle. Thhis is possible because cooler air is drawn from inside the passenger area and refrigerated again instead of using warmer outside air. Using inside air will also make the fan sound louder, which is normal when using MAX A/C. The air flow will be from the instrument panel registers. Comfort tips The following tips will help you to get the most satisfaction from your climate control system. n In humid weather, select V DEF before starting your


engine. This will help to prevent windshield fogging. After a few minutes of operation, you may select another function.


n To prevent humidity buildup inside your vehicle, always


drive with the climate control system turned on.


n Do not put objects under the front seats that interfere with


the flow of air to the back seat area.


n Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air intake area of


your heater and air conditioner system which could block the air intake. The intake area is located at the bottom of the windshield.


Passenger Compartment Air Filter Your vehicle may have an air filter that removes pollen and road dust from outside air before it is directed to the interior of the vehicle. For maintenance of this filter, see Servicing Your Contour.

When you use the remote entry UNLOCK, TRUNK or PANIC buttons, the illuminated entry system turns on the interior lights for 12 seconds. You can turn these lights off by turning the ignition to the ON position. The interior lights will not turn off if you have turned them on manually or if a door is open. NOTE: The illuminated entry system will only work when


the dome light switch is in the “12” position.


Locking the doors To lock all the doors, press the LOCK button. If you would like a signal that the doors are being locked, press the LOCK button again within five seconds. The doors will lock again, the horn will beep and the low beam headlamps and tail lamps will flash.

Features


NOTE: The operating range of the remote entry system can also be affected by weather conditions (such as very cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33 feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.


Replacing the batteries The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART. When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive (+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together. Replacement/additional transmitters In the event a transmitter is lost, return the remaining transmitters to your dealer for reprogramming of your remote entry system. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter. Additional transmitters may be purchased from your dealer (remote entry system will work with up to four transmitters). Return your existing transmitters to your dealer so the remote entry system can be reprogrammed with your new and existing transmitters.
