WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately. Service engine soon: The Service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Brake system warning light: To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your servicing dealership.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may

occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle checked by your dealer immediately.

BRAKE

Brake reserve system warning (if equipped): Illuminates to indicate normal Hydromax booster reserve system activation when the engine is OFF and the service brake pedal is applied. This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking. If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately. Anti-lock brake system: If the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a malfunction has been detected, have the system serviced immediately. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is illuminated.

Oil pressure/Engine coolant: Illuminates when any of the following conditions has occurred: • The engine coolant temperature • The engine oil pressure is low. Transmission control indicator light (TCIL): Illuminates when the overdrive function of the transmission has been turned off, refer to the Driving chapter. If the light flashes steadily, have the system serviced immediately. Turn signal: Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If the indicators stay on or flash faster, check for a burned out bulb.

Do not insert foreign objects into the videocassette player (VCP) tape cassette compartment.

The front glass on the liquid crystal display may break when hit with a hard surface. If the glass breaks, do not touch the liquid

crystalline material. In case of contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

The driver must not attempt to operate any function of the floor console mounted VCP while the vehicle is in motion. Give full attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park in a safe place before inserting or extracting video tapes from the VCP. A remote control is included in the system to allow the rear seat occupants to operate the VCP functions without distracting the driver.

Be sure to review User Manuals for video games and video game equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your AutoVision威 System. Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation of seats and/or compartments. Disconnect video games and video equipment power cords and/or cables when not in use. Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on them or allow them to get wet or dirty. Do not clean any part of the AutoVision威 system with benzene, paint thinner or any other solvent. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Compliance Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could void user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference and radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Care of the videocassette player (VCP) Environmental extremes Videocassette players subjected to harsh environmental conditions may be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these outcomes, avoid leaving the VCP: • in extremely hot or cold temperatures. • in direct sunlight. • in high humidity. • in a dusty environment. • in locations where strong magnetic fields are generated. • on a surface that is instable or subject to vibrations. Temperature extremes When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system. High/low temperature sensor circuit • Excessively high or low temperatures may cause damage to the VCP. • When the temperature of the VCP becomes too high or low, the

temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain illuminated until the system has returned to a safe operating temperature.

Humidity and moisture condensation Moisture in the air will condense in the VCP under extremely humid conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. Moisture condensation on the tape playback head drum may damage the videocassette and/or drum. If moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a videocassette into the player. If a videocassette is already in the player, remove it. Turn the VCP power ON to dry the moisture before inserting a videocassette. This could take an hour or more.

tape may be damaged if the VCP is operated.

Dew sensor circuit • Under high moisture (dewed) conditions, the tape heads and cassette • When the vehicle’s cabin temperature is very low and then is heated quickly, or the humidity is very high within the vehicle, the inside of the windows most likely will be fogged. Under these conditions, the inside of the VCP most likely is dewed. • When a dewed condition exists, the dew sensor circuit stops machine operation, ejects the cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The lamp will remain illuminated until the system is dry enough to operate safely.

Cleaning video heads Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the screen during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape and are left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with dust and air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads. Dirty heads generally cause “snowy” pictures and, in some severe cases, blurred or interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at video stores to clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because some are abrasive to the video heads. If normal head cleaning procedures do not resolve the problem, have the system checked by a service technician. Foreign substances Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF and consult a qualified service technician.
