Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
This gauge 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. With the engine running, the pointer should move into the NORMAL band. If the pointer drops below the NORMAL band while the engine is running, you have lost oil pressure and continued operation will cause severe engine damage.
If you lose engine oil pressure:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible.
2. Turn off the engine. 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. Refer to Engine oil in the Index. If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured. To assure an accurate reading, your vehicle should be on level ground.
4. If the level is low, add only as much oil as necessary before
you start the engine again. Do not overfill. Do not operate the engine if the pointer is below the NORMAL band, regardless of the oil level. Contact your nearest dealer for further service actions.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the ignition switch is ON.
For a proper fuel gauge indication after adding fuel, the ignition switch should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is being refueled.
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion.
With ignition switch OFF, the fuel gauge indicator may drift from the ignition switch ON position.

Instrumentation
The pointer moves from the C (cold) 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 move 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. Turn off the engine. If you do not stop the engine as soon as
safely possible, severe engine damage could result.
3. Let the engine cool. DO NOT REMOVE COOLANT SYSTEM FILL CAP UNTIL THE ENGINE IS COOL.
4. Check the coolant level following the instructions on
checking and adding coolant to your engine. Refer to Engine coolant in the Index. If you do not follow these instructions, you or others could be injured.
If the coolant continues to overheat, have the coolant system serviced as soon as possible.

Engine coolant temperature gauge — mechanical cluster with tachometer Speedometer The speedometer tells you how many miles (kilometers) per hour your vehicle is moving. Some vehicles are equipped with a vehicle speed (mph/km/h) limiting device that is contained within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The purpose of this device is to maintain peak vehicle speed below a specified limit. (Vehicle speed limits may vary based on engine displacement.) If you are experiencing an “engine cut-out” condition at high speeds, it may be the result of this limiting device. It is a normal condition and can be avoided by reducing vehicle/engine speed.

Odometer
The odometer tells you the total number of miles (kilometers) your vehicle has been driven. Trip Odometer
If you want to track your mileage up to 999.9 miles (kilometers), use the trip odometer. Simply set the trip odometer to zero by pressing the reset control firmly when beginning the distance you wish to measure. Tachometer (If equipped)
The tachometer will show you the engine’s speed measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The tachometer may move slightly when the key is placed in the ACC or ON position, with the engine off. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the tachometer when the engine is running.
Some vehicles are equipped with an engine speed (RPM) limiting device contained within the powertrain control module (PCM). The purpose of this device is to maintain peak engine speed (RPM) below a specified limit. This feature is only evident on automatic transmission vehicles when shifting manually (1, 2, D) and on all manual transmission units. (Engine speed limits may vary based on engine displacement.)
If you are experiencing an “engine cut-out” condition at high speeds, it may be the result of this limiting device. It is a normal condition and can be avoided by reducing vehicle/engine speed.

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: n 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.
n 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.
n Protect cassettes from exposure to direct sunlight, high
humidity and extreme heat or cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions, allow them to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
n 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.
n Loose labels on cassette tapes can become lodged in the
mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting cassette.
n Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player. High heat in
the vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.
Clock Operation How to view the clock mode
Press the “CLK” button to display time. The time will continue to be displayed until a radio or tape function is chosen. After approximately 10 seconds, the time will again appear in the display. To display radio or tape information only, press the “CLK” button a second time.

Press the right (a) side of the “SEEK” button to seek forward to the next track of the current disc. After the last track has been completed, the CD player automatically changes to the next disc.
Press the left (b) side of the “SEEK” button to seek to the previous track on the current disc.
n Using the SCAN function with your CD Changer
Press the “SCAN” button to move forward to the next track. Approximately an eight-second sampling of the track will be played before moving to the next track. The display will indicate the disc and track number (dd-tt). At the end of the disc, the CD Changer automatically changes to the next disc.
To end the scan mode, press the “SCAN” button a second time.
Operating the CD Compression feature
Because of the wide dynamic range of Ford’s 6-CD Changer System, soft passages may be difficult to hear under certain driving conditions while maintaining a reasonable volume level in the louder passages. The compression feature will bring these soft and loud passages closer together for a more consistent listening level.
To turn the compression on, press the “COMPRESS”/#5 button. When the compression feature is activated, the display will indicate “C”.

In order to keep your cassette tape player performing the way it was meant to, read and follow these simple precautions: n 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.
n 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.
n Protect cassettes from exposure to direct sunlight, high
humidity and extreme heat or cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions, allow them to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
n 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.
n Loose labels on cassette tapes can become lodged in the
mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting cassette.
n Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player. High heat in
the vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

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.
55

*[AS30830(R)05/96]
*[AS30840(R)05/96]
*[AS30850(R)05/96]
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.
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.
