Buying a Ford Extended Service Plan If you bought your vehicle in the U.S., you can buy a Ford Extended Service Plan for your vehicle. This optional contract provides service protection for a longer period of time than the basic warranty that comes with your vehicle. You do not have to buy this option when you buy your vehicle. However, your option to purchase the Ford Extended Service Plan runs out after 18 months or 18,000 miles. See your dealer for more details about the Ford Extended Service Plan. If you purchased a Canadian vehicle and did not take advantage of the Ford Extended Service Plan at the time of purchase, you may still be eligible. See your dealer for the details. Special Notice NOTICE TO OWNERS OF UTILITY-TYPE VEHICLES As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an accident. Be sure to read the Additional Special Driving Instructions for Utility Vehicles in this book and the special supplement included with four-wheel drive vehicles entitled 4-Wheeling with Ford. Although this special supplement is primarily directed to four-wheel drive vehicle operators, these principles of safe driving also apply to operators of the two-wheel drive Explorer. Even though you may not select a 4WD or AWD option for your Explorer, many of its operating characteristics are similar to those of a four-wheel drive vehicle. For this reason, Ford urges you to read and understand the contents of the 4-Wheeling with Ford supplement.

AMBULANCE PACKAGES
Do not use this vehicle as an ambulance.
RWARNING
Breaking Your Vehicle In Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or break-in period during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in period, you need to pay careful attention to how you drive your vehicle. n Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle has new brake
linings, you should take these steps: — Watch traffic carefully so that you can anticipate when to
stop.
— Begin braking well in advance. — Apply the brakes gradually. The break-in period for new brake linings lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway driving.
n Wheel lug nuts must be retightened to proper torque
specifications at 500 miles/800 km of new vehicle operation. Proper torque specifications are provided in this guide. Also retighten to proper torque specification at 500 miles/800 km after any wheel change or any other time the wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
n Use only the type of engine oil that Ford recommends. See
Engine oil recommendations in the Index. Do not use special “break-in” oils.

Some vehicles are equipped with a Powertrain Control Module that limits engine speeds with a cut-out mode to promote durability. Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle Pollen, bird droppings and tree sap can damage the paint, especially in hot weather. Wash your vehicle as often as necessary to keep it clean. Take similar precautions if your vehicle is exposed to chemical industrial fallout. Paint damage resulting from fallout is not related to a defect in paint materials or workmanship and therefore is not covered by warranty. Ford, however, believes that continual improvement in customer satisfaction is a high priority. For this reason, Ford has authorized its dealers to repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by environmental fallout within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20,000 km) of purchase, whichever comes first. Customers may be required to bring their vehicle in for inspection by a Ford representative. Washing and Polishing Your Vehicle Wash the outside of your vehicle, including the underside, with a mild detergent. DO NOT: n Wash your vehicle with hot water n Wash your vehicle while it sits in direct sunlight n Wash your vehicle while the body is hot Polish your vehicle to remove harmful deposits and protect the finish.

Cleaning Chrome and Aluminum Parts Wash chrome and aluminum parts with a mild detergent. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, fuel or strong detergents. Cleaning Plastic Parts Some of your vehicle’s exterior trim parts are plastic. Clean with a tar and road oil remover if necessary. Use a vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents or petroleum-based cleaners. If you have your vehicle rustproofed, remove oversprayed rustproofing with a tar and road oil remover. If rustproofing is not removed from plastic and rubber parts, it can cause deterioration. Because your vehicle’s side mouldings are painted in lacquer, do not use thinners or solvents to clean them.

RWARNING
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the air bag system serviced at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer immediately.
Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle has a divided brake system. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both systems working well. If the warning light illuminates, there could be a problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. This light should illuminate as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t illuminate then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
Brake system and parking brake light This light illuminates briefly when you turn the ignition key to START. It normally goes off shortly after the engine starts and you release the parking brake, but it may stay on for up to 60 seconds. If the light stays on for longer than 60 seconds or comes on after you have fully released the parking brake, have the hydraulic brake system serviced.

This light will also illuminate if the parking brake does not release fully. If it does stay on after the parking brake is fully released, it means there may be a brake problem. Pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push, the pedal may go closer to the floor, or it may take longer to stop the vehicle. Try the brakes again after you have stopped.
RWARNING
The BRAKE light indicates that the brakes may not be working properly. Have the brakes checked immediately.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the anti-lock brake system warning light will illuminate. When the engine is started, the anti-lock brake system control unit will determine if all components of the system are operating correctly. The warning light could remain on for two to four seconds.

If the light flashes briefly while you are driving, it means that the condition is no longer present. O/D OFF Light (If equipped) This light tells you that the overdrive off (O/D OFF) button on the shift selector has been pushed. When the light is on, the transaxle will not shift into overdrive. Depressing the button on the shift selector again will return the vehicle to “overdrive on” mode. The transaxle will be in the “overdrive on” mode when the vehicle is started even if the O/D OFF mode was selected when the vehicle was last shut off. Refer to the Driving chapter for more information. If the light does not illuminate when the O/D OFF button is pressed, or if the light flashes when you are driving, have your vehicle serviced at the first opportunity. If this condition persists, damage could occur to the transaxle.
Overdrive OFF light Gauges Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel you have in the fuel tank. The ignition must be turned off while putting fuel in the tank in order to get a correct fuel gauge reading after the ignition is turned on.

The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel movement within the tank. You can get a more accurate reading with the vehicle on smooth, level ground. Charging System Gauge This gauge tells you your battery’s voltage when you turn your ignition key to ON. When you start your engine, the pointer should move to the NORMAL range if you are not operating any electrical accessories. (If electrical accessories are operating and the engine is not running, the pointer may move into the red area). If the pointer moves into the red area when no electrical accessories are operating, have the vehicle’s electrical system checked. Engine Oil Pressure Gauge The gauge needle should stay in the NORMAL range (indicating normal engine oil pressure). If the needle drops below the NORMAL range into the low range, there is a loss of oil pressure. If this happens: 1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible. 2. Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
3. Check the oil level when the vehicle is on
level ground.
4. Add only as much oil as the engine needs before you drive the vehicle again. Do not overfill the oil reservoir. For more information, see Adding engine oil in the Index.

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 usually moves from C (cold) into the NORMAL band as your vehicle warms up. Under most driving conditions, the pointer should stay in the NORMAL band. If you are driving in heavy traffic or on an extended grade in hot weather, the pointer may reach to the top of the NORMAL band. If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves above the NORMAL band, the engine is overheating and continued operation may cause engine damage. If your engine overheats: 1. Pull off the road as soon as it is safely
possible.
2. Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
3. Let the engine cool. 4. Check the coolant level following the
instructions on checking and adding coolant to your engine. (See Engine coolant in the Index.) If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured. For instructions on checking and adding coolant to your engine, see Engine coolant in the Index. If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured.

5. Refer to Adding Engine Coolant in the
Maintenance and Care chapter. Add as much coolant as your engine needs. If the engine continues to overheat, have the cooling system serviced.
Speedometer The speedometer tells you how many miles (kilometers) per hour your vehicle is moving. Odometer The odometer tells you the total number of miles (kilometers) your vehicle has been driven. Trip Odometer Use the trip odometer to track your mileage. Simply set the trip odometer to zero by pressing the reset button. Tachometer The tachometer indicates approximate engine revolutions per minute, and is located on the right-hand side of the instrument cluster. The tachometer pointer may move slightly when the key is placed in the ACC or ON position, with the engine off. This pointer movement is normal, and will not affect the accuracy of the tachometer once the engine is running.

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 (b) or bottom (a) half of the “SEEK” button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the top or bottom half of the “SEEK” button. 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. 2. Press one of the memory preset buttons and hold the button until the sound returns. That station is now held in memory on that button.
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 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 helpful 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 now in the “AUTO” mode and the display will show “AUTO” each time a preset is activated. NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong stations in the frequency band, the remaining unfilled buttons will store the last strong station detected on the band.
After all stations have been filled, the radio will begin playing the station stored on memory button 1.
