When reinstalling a rear seat in your
vehicle it must be placed in its original

is not twisted. A twisted safety belt may
cause the retractor to work improperly.
Remove any twist, then insert the tongue
end of the detachable anchor into the
detachable anchor until you hear a ªsnapº
and feel the latch engage. Refer to the
previous illustration.

seat or upward for the seat bed. Then fold the
seatback down. The latch will re-engage in the
cargo position.
[FV35901(ALL)08/95]
To raise the seatback, release the seatback latch
and rotate the seatback upwards until the latch
re-engages. (A slight downward pressure on the
bench seat seatback will reduce effort on the
latch.)

192 [DR16025(ALL)05/94]How the Electronic 4-Wheel Drive (E-4WD)
System Works
[DR16036(ALL)03/90]
Under normal driving conditions, when the road
is firm, dry and level, the engine power is
distributed one-third to the front axle and
two-thirds to the rear axle. However, if a wheel
begins to slip, the microprocessor will sense this
condition and signal the system to transmit more
power to the axle with more traction. (You may
feel a momentary surge of power.)
[DR16046(ALL)06/95]
NOTE: The microprocessor is disabled when
the brakes are applied or when the
transmission selector is in the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) positions.
[DR16055(ALL)05/94]
Driving Your Electronic 4-Wheel Drive
(E-4WD) Vehicle
[DR16065(ALL)03/95]
Since your E-4WD vehicle is unique, follow these
steps to be safe:
[DR16075(ALL)03/95]
q
Avoid unnecessary turns or other maneuvers
that could cause loss of control and possible
injury.
[DR16076(ALL)06/95]
q
Use the same size and type of tire and wheel
as originally provided for your vehicle and
inflate the tires to the manufacturer's
recommended air pressure.
[DR16077(ALL)03/95]
q
Become familiar with your vehicle's operating
characteristics and study this Owner Guide
for specific operating instructions. Be sure all
occupants wear the safety belts provided.
Drive cautiously, defensively, and at speeds
safe for current road conditions.

RWARNING
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
the vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and safety belts.
[DR29520(ALL)08/95]
RWARNING
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a safety belt properly.
*
[DR29525(ALL)07/95]
RWARNING
Cargo should always be secured to
prevent it from shifting and causing
damage to the vehicle or harm to
passengers.
*
[DR29551(ALL)03/91]
Each additional item of equipment affects how
much cargo a vehicle can carry. If a vehicle is
overloaded, performance will suffer and service
concerns may arise.

The Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch
*
[RE24500(ALL)07/95]
If the engine cranks but does not start or if you
have had a collision, the fuel pump shut-off
switch may have been triggered. The shut-off
switch is a device that stops the fuel pump
when your vehicle has been involved in a
substantial jolt.

fuel pump shut-off switch, seeFuel pump shut-off

Towing Your Vehicle
[RE24750(ALL)08/95]
The recommended method to tow your Aerostar
is with flatbed or wheel lift equipment.
However, slingbelt towing is acceptable. On
vehicles equipped with an under-vehicle spare
tire carrier, remove the tire assembly from the
carrier and store it in a secure area before
towing. For E-4WD vehicles, the 4-wheel drive
system must be disabled prior to towing. The
transmission must be in N (Neutral) and the
ignition switch must be in the OFF position to
disable the Electronic 4-Wheel Drive System.

Replacing the Tires
*
[SV27400(ALL)05/95]
Replace any tires that show wear bands. When
your tire shows a wear band, it has only 1/16
inch (2 mm) of tread left.
*
[SV27500(ALL)10/89]
quarter page art:0060006-A
Wear band
*
[SV27600(ALL)01/95]
Because your vehicle's tires may wear unevenly,
you may need to replace them before a wear
band appears across the entire tread. Some spots
wear more heavily than others.
*
[SV27700(ALL)03/90]
Your wheels and tires are match-mounted for
improved ride. Before you begin to repair a tire,
mark the wheel and tire so that they are
properly aligned when remounted. This will
ensure that the tires will continue to give you
the same ride level.
*
[SV27851(ALL)01/95]
RWARNING
When replacing full size tires, never mix
radial, bias-belted, or bias-type tires. Use
only the tire sizes that are listed on the
tire pressure decal. Make sure that all tires
are the same size, speed rating, and
load-carrying capacity. Use only the tire
combinations recommended on the decal.
If you do not follow these precautions,
your vehicle may not drive properly and
safely.
