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.

Compact Disc Radio The Compact Disc Radio combines the Electronic Stereo Radio with the Ford Compact Disc Player. Using the Controls on Your New Radio/CD Player Most of the features of this unit work for both radio and CD operation, depending on which mode the unit is in. Also, some of the buttons control several different functions, so be sure to read all of the operating instructions carefully. How to turn the radio on and off Press the “POWER” button to turn the radio on. Press it again to turn it off. How to adjust the volume Press the (R/S) side of the “VOL” button to increase/decrease the volume. Bars illuminate in the display to show the relative volume level. NOTE: If the volume level is set above a
certain listening level when the ignition switch is turned off, when the ignition switch is turned back on, the volume will come back to a “nominal” listening level. However, if the radio power is turned off, the volume will remain in the position it was set at when radio power was switched off.
Selecting the AM or FM frequency band Push the “AM/FM” button to select the desired frequency band. When in the radio mode, pushing the button more than once will alternate between AM, FM1 and FM2. These functions are used with the station memory buttons described under How to tune radio stations.

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.

Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and Tapes In order to keep your cassette tape player performing the way it was meant to, read and follow these simple precautions: q Using a Ford or equivalent cassette cleaning cartridge to clean the tape player head after 10-12 hours of play will help maintain the best playback sound and proper tape operation.
q Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage or may jam the tape player mechanism. q Protect cassettes from exposure to directsunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions, allow them to reach a moderate temperature before playing. If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it before playing by putting your finger or a pencil into one of the holes and turning the hub until the tape is tight.
q Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting a cassette. q Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player when not in use. High heat in the vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

Radio Antenna The radio antenna is mounted on the rear passenger side quarter panel of the vehicle. It is a fixed mast antenna and cannot be retracted. Common Radio Reception Conditions Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely clear and noise-free, such as the following: 1. Distance/Strength The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal becomes weaker.

2. Terrain The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being noise-free. Repeated pops and hisses which are heard during an otherwise clear broadcast can occur near the station because of the “line of sight” characteristic of FM radio waves. If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and station, some of the signal “bends” around the building, but certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the “shadow” of the structure will allow the station to return to normal. When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways. To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal, which improves the quality of reception. Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Another reception phenomenon is Strong Signal Capture and Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may capture the more distant station, although the

displayed frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the original station. When several broadcast towers are present (common in metropolitan areas), several stations may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and distortion. Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal capture and overload. All About Radio Frequencies The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies that AM and FM radio stations may use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps. Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area. This radio will tune to each of these frequencies using manual tune and no fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other frequencies. Some FM radio stations advertise a “rounded-off” frequency which is not the frequency they actually broadcast on. For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself “Radio 99” even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM broadcast frequency.

Air Conditioning System (If equipped) Operate the air conditioning by using the climate controls on the center of the instrument panel.
Air conditioning controls Sometimes you may notice slight engine surging if you have the air conditioner on. This is normal, as the system is designed to cycle the compressor on and off to maintain desired cooling. The reduced compressor operation should benefit fuel economy. On some vehicles with air conditioning, wide-open throttle acceleration will temporarily cut off the air conditioning. Since the air conditioner removes a lot of moisture from the air during operation, it is normal for water to drip on the pavement under the air conditioner drain after you have stopped the vehicle. Action for heating and windshield defrosting are identical for cars equipped with either the Heating Only System or the Heating and Air Conditioning System. For instructions about these functions, see the previous section, Heating Only System. For instructions about using the air conditioning, see the following sections.

If the inside of your vehicle is very warm, drive for a few minutes with the windows down. This forces most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle and helps the air conditioning cool the vehicle faster. MAX A/C When MAX A/C is selected, cooled interior air is recirculated through the system. This position is more efficient than NORM A/C. To cool your vehicle quickly in warm weather: 1. Turn the function selector control to MAX
A/C.
2. Turn the temperature control to the blue
(cool) area.
3. Set the fan at the desired speed.
