Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot.
Tachometer: Indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.
Engine oil pressure gauge:
Indicates engine oil pressure. If the
pointer drops to the red section
when the engine is running, stop
your vehicle as soon as possible,
shut off the engine and check the
oil tank level. Add oil if necessary.
Do not continue to operate your
engine as long as the pointer is in the red section. Otherwise, your
engine may be severely damaged.
If the gauge indicates zero or very low oil pressure (needle in the
red section) stop the vehicle and engine as soon as safe to do so
and check the engine oil tank level.
After running, the engine may be hot. Allow the engine to cool
before handling any components.
Voltmeter gauge: Measures the
battery charging voltage. If the
pointer moves above or below the
normal operating range under
normal vehicle operation, have your
vehicle ’s electrical system checked.

RADIO FREQUENCIES
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 540 –1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9 –107.7, 107.9 MHz
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

CD/CD PLAYER CARE
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
• Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner
and wipe from the center out.
Don ’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
• Insert more than one disc into the CD player.
• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12
cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility,
certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTY AND SERVICE
Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If
service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
• To demist the side glass, place the air flow selector in the
position and aim the outboard panel vents toward the side glass.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle:
during cold weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the
OFF or MAX A/C position.
during warm weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the
OFF position.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
