RWARNING

In freezing weather, the washer solution may freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision. Always warm up the windshield with the defroster before you use the washer fluid. If you cannot see through the windshield clearly, it can increase the risk of being involved in a collision.

For information about refilling the washer fluid or replacing your windshield wiper blades, see Windshield washer fluid and Wipers in the Index. Hazard Flasher The hazard flasher is used to alert other drivers to hazardous situations.

The flashers will continue to flash with the brake pedal depressed.

The flashers work whether your vehicle is running or not. The flashers work for up to two hours when the battery is fully charged and in good condition without draining the battery excessively. If the flashers run for longer than two hours or if the battery is not fully charged, the battery can be drained.

To use the hazard flasher:

1. Push in the flasher button; it will pop out

and the lamps will begin to flash.

2. To stop the flashers, push in the flasher

button again.

NOTE: The flasher button will be sticking up

slightly higher when ON than when OFF.

Speed Control (If equipped) Your vehicle has speed control, so you can automatically maintain a constant speed above 30 mph (50 km/h). The switches to operate the speed control are on the steering wheel.

Use of radio transmitting equipment that is not Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or in Canada the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved may cause the speed control to malfunction. Therefore, use only properly installed FCC (CRTC in Canada) approved radio transmitting equipment in your vehicle.

The speed control switches

To set the speed control:

1. Press and release the ON switch.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed above

30 mph (50 km/h) using the accelerator pedal.

3. Press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately to set your speed. If you keep this switch pressed, your speed will continue to increase.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Your vehicle will maintain the speed you set.

*[SC09275(B F )12/91]

If you drive up or down a steep hill, your vehicle may momentarily slow down or speed up, even though the speed control is on. This is normal.

NOTE: If your speed increases above your set speed while driving in j (Overdrive) on a downhill grade, you may want to depress the transmission control switch located on the shift lever to turn off overdrive to reduce vehicle speed. Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it goes above your set speed on a downhill grade. For the best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, leave the shift select in j (Overdrive), or resume as soon as practical.

RWARNING

Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, slippery, or unpaved.

In mountainous areas, at higher elevations, or when pulling a trailer, the speed control may not be able to maintain the preset speed with the transmission in overdrive.

If your vehicle comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, you may prefer to drive in 4
(Fourth) gear, in mountainous areas or at high altitudes, to improve speed control performance.

In order to downshift (with a manual transmission) with the speed control operating, you must press either the brake or clutch pedal long enough to disengage the speed control. Wait a second before depressing the clutch again and making the shift so that the speed control can fully return to the idle position.

Accelerating With the Speed Control Operating

You can use the accelerator pedal to speed up momentarily. When you take your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle will return to the set speed. Resetting the Speed Control

To reset the speed control to a lower speed, press and hold the COAST switch. Let your vehicle slow down to the desired speed and release the COAST switch.

Your vehicle has a “tap-down” feature that allows you to decrease your current speed in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a momentary tap of the COAST switch. Multiple taps of the COAST switch will decrease your vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap. For example, if you are currently set at 65 mph (104 km/h) and tap the COAST switch 5 times your vehicle speed will decrease and set at 60 mph (96 km/h).

To reset the speed control to a higher speed, you can follow any of these procedures: q Accelerate to the desired speed using the

accelerator pedal, then press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately.

q Press and hold the SET ACCEL switch until the vehicle accelerates to the desired speed, then release the switch.

q TAP-UP — This allows you to increase your

current speed in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h) by a momentary tap of the SET-ACCEL switch. Multiple taps of the SET-ACCEL switch will increase your vehicle speed 1 mph (1.6 km/h) for each tap. For example, if you are currently set at 60 mph (96 km/h) and tap the SET-ACCEL switch 5
times your vehicle speed will increase and set at 65 mph (104 km/h).

Turning the Speed Control Off

You can cancel the speed control while you are driving. q Press the OFF switch. The speed control is off. If you want to resume speed control, press the ON switch and reset the speed control by pressing the SET ACCEL button. q Press the clutch pedal slightly (if equipped). The speed control is suspended, but you can reset it by pressing SET ACCEL or return to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch.

q Press the brake pedal slightly. The speed

control is suspended, but you can reset it by pressing SET ACCEL or return to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch.

In addition, the speed control is turned off each time you turn the vehicle off.

Driving uphill or on a steep grade When the speed control is on, your vehicle may significantly drop speed when driving uphill, especially with a heavy load. If the speed drops more than 8 to 14 mph (15 - 25 km/h) the automatic speed control will, by design, be canceled. You may have to temporarily resume manual speed control while driving up a steep grade in order to maintain the speed you desire. Frequent shifting of an automatic transmission or speed loss during speed control operation can be eliminated by shifting out of overdrive into drive (or by pressing the Transmission Control Switch, if equipped). These conditions could occur in hilly terrain or at higher elevations. If the speed control “dropped out” after your climb is completed, the speed of your vehicle can be reset with the SET ACCEL switch, or returned to the previous set speed with the RESUME switch, as long as you are driving over 30 mph (50 km/h).

Cancelling and Resuming a Set Speed If you press the brake pedal, the speed control is cancelled. You can return to the speed you set by using the RSM switch, as long as you did not press the OFF switch. To resume the speed you had before, you must be driving at least 30 mph (50 km/h). Press and release the RESUME switch. Your vehicle gradually returns to the previously set speed and then maintains it.

RWARNING

If your vehicle has speed control, do not use it on slippery roads. You could lose control of your vehicle and could injure someone.

To release the tailgate:

Open the tailgate as directed above, but support it to allow for slack in the cables at both sides. Use a coin or similar object to pry the spring clip (on each upper cable connector) past the head of the support screw. Doing so will allow you to center the wider opening in the connector over the screw head and disconnect it.

If you disconnect the upper end of each cable, you can lower the tailgate completely.

NOTE: Step bumpers or hitches may damage the tailgate if it is lowered completely.

Releasing the tailgate

Tailgate removal

First release the tailgate as described above. Be sure to support the left side to prevent it from falling. Then raise the tailgate to a 45 degree angle (see the following illustration) and lift the right side of the tailgate off its hinge. You can now pull the left side of the tailgate away from the left hinge.

Replacing the batteries

The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease in operating range, the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

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 and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.

Opening the remote transmitter

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.

Replacing the batteries

Replacing lost transmitters

In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter.

You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program them to the remote entry system all at the same time. Illuminated Entry System (If equipped)

This system will provide illumination of the vehicle’s interior courtesy lamps when either outside front door handle is pulled or when the Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the START or ACCESSORY position.

NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off if

you have turned them on with the dimmer knob or if any door is open.

Automatic Dimming Inside Rearview Mirror (If equipped)

Automatic dimming inside rearview mirror

This mirror is equipped with an electrochromic glare control feature that automatically darkens the mirror, reducing glare from the headlamps of vehicles behind you. A forward facing light sensor measures the ambient light just as your eyes do. When the rear facing light sensor in the glass senses glare, such as from following headlights, it energizes a chemical layer in the glass causing it to darken and absorb light. As the glare subsides, the mirror glass returns to its normal clear state.

To turn the mirror on, push the On/Off switch, located on the bottom of the mirror, to latch it in the ON position. The button will be latched in the up position and at night a low intensity green light will be visible from the button when the mirror is turned on. To turn the mirror off, push the On/Off switch again and the button will unlatch shutting off the light and the mirror will be off.

Demonstration — The mirror’s operation may be demonstrated by simulating glare as follows:

1. Cover the forward facing sensor, located on

the right side of the mirror back, with a dark (preferably black) cloth. Hold the dark cloth over the sensor until you notice the mirror glass start to darken to the non-glare state. If the surrounding lighting conditions are too dark it may be necessary to shine additional lighting, such as from a flashlight, on the rearward sensor located on the glass face.

2. Remove the cloth (and shut off the flashlight if applicable) and the glass will return to the clear reflective stage.

One important safety feature is that the mirror automatically returns to the normal position whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position). This feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up.

How to tune radio stations

There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You can manually locate the station using the “SCAN/TUNE” button, “SEEK” the station, “SCAN” to the station or select the station by using the memory buttons, which you can set to any desired frequency. These four methods are described below. q Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to manually

tune

You can change the frequency up or down one increment at a time (FM changes in increments of 200kHz; AM changes in increments of 10kHz) by first pressing the “SCAN/TUNE” button twice (display shows “TUNE”), then — within approximately five seconds —pressing and releasing either the top a or bottom b half of the “SEEK” button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the top or bottom half of the “SEEK” button. While you are manually tuning, the display will show a blinking “M”.

Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any allowable broadcast frequency, whether or not a station is present on that frequency. (See All About Radio Frequencies in this section.)

q Using the “SEEK” function

This feature on your radio allows you to automatically select listenable stations up or down the frequency band. Press the top a half of the “SEEK” button to select the next listenable station up the frequency band. Press the bottom b half of the button to select the next listenable station down the frequency band. By pressing and holding the button, listenable stations can be passed over to reach the desired station.

q Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to scan

radio stations

Pressing the “SCAN/TUNE” button once enters the scan mode (display will indicate “SCN”). Pushing the top a half of the “SEEK” button will begin the scan mode up the frequency band, stopping on each listenable station for approximately five seconds. Pushing the bottom b half of the “SEEK” button will begin the scan mode down the frequency band, again stopping on each listenable station for approximately five seconds.

To stop the scan mode on the presently sampled station press the “SCAN/TUNE” button again.

Setting the Station Memory Preset buttons

Your radio is equipped with 5 station memory buttons. These buttons can be used to select up to 5 preset AM stations and 10 FM stations (5 in FM1 and 5 in FM2). Follow the easy steps below to set these buttons to the desired frequencies.

1. Select a band, then select a frequency.

3. Follow the two steps above for each station

memory preset button you want to set.

NOTE: If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,

the clock and station memory preset buttons (if programmed in auto mode) will need to be reset.

q Using the Automatic Memory Load feature

You can activate the Auto Memory Load feature by pressing and holding the “AUTO PRESET” button for approximately three seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by seeking out the first five strong stations for the respective band and storing them in memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the second set of strong stations from the FM band.) With Auto Memory Store, you can continually set strong stations into your memory buttons without losing your existing memory presets, which is especially handy while traveling. Your radio will automatically set your memory buttons to the strong local stations so you don’t have to continually manually tune to existing stations. Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the “AUTO PRESET” button once. Your radio will set the first five strong stations of the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory buttons. The display will show “AUTO”, then run through the frequencies, stopping momentarily on the stations being set into the memory buttons. The radio is
