Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and
Tapes
*
[AS27700(BEF )02/95]
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS27750(BEF )02/95]
q
Using a Ford 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.
*
[AS27800(BEF )02/95]
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.
*
[AS27900(BEF )02/95]
q
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.
*
[AS28001(BEF )02/95]
q
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.
*
[AS28101(BEF )02/95]
q
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.

Automatic Transmission
Operation (E4OD and 4R70W)
*
[DR08710(BEF )03/94]
The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
*
[DR08720( ALL)08/94]
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more

This is the normal driving position. As the
vehicle picks up speed, automatic upshifts to
second, third and fourth gears will occur when
jOverdrive is chosen on the selector and the
transmission control switch has not been

You will note that there isn't a drive position on
your gearshift indicator. However, you will find
a Transmission Control Switch and an indicator
light labeled ªOverdriveº located on the end of
the gearshift lever. Press this switch and the
word ªOFFº will illuminate on the shift lever
knob. With the word ªOFFº illuminated, the
transmission will operate in gears one through
three. Operating in the Overdrive ªOFFº mode
gives more engine braking than Overdrive and
is useful for descending hills or when towing.

[DR10000( ALL)03/94]
If the Transmission Control Indicator Light is
flashing on and off steadily, a transmission
system malfunction was detected. The
transmission will operate in a failure
management mode and may have harsh
engagements, firm shift feel, or abnormal shift
schedule. If this condition persists, damage to
the transmission could occur. Contact your
dealer as soon as possible.

When to use 2 (Second)
*
[DR10200( ALL)01/95]
Use 2 (Second) to start-up on slippery roads or
to provide additional engine braking on
downgrades. This position provides 2 (Second)
gear operation only.
*
[DR10300( ALL)01/95]
When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR10400( ALL)04/95]
Use 1 (Low) to provide maximum engine
braking on steep downgrades. Upshifts from 1
(Low) can be made by manually shifting to 2
(Second) orj(Overdrive). Selection of 1 (Low)
gear provides only low gear operation from
start-up. Selection of 1 (Low) while at higher
speeds provides a shift to second gear, and a
shift to first gear will occur after the vehicle
decelerates to the proper speed.

To shift from N (Neutral) to either 4H or 4L,
stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake.
Place the automatic transmission into N
(Neutral) or depress the clutch on manual
transmission vehicles. Push the transfer case shift
lever to the desired position. If it is difficult to
shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be necessary to
let the vehicle roll slightly and/or turn off the
engine (particularly on vehicles equipped with
automatic transmissions).

4x4 SYSTEMS-TOUCH DRIVE
*
[DR17601(B F )06/94]
The Touch Drive 4x4 system functions in three
modes. In Two Wheel Drive mode, power is
delivered only to the rear axle at normal road
speed. The 4H position provides four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and rear
axles for increased traction. The 4L position
provides four-wheel drive with power delivered
to the front and rear axles when the above
average power is required at reduced speeds.
*
[DR17630(B F )06/94]
Four wheel drive operation (4x4 or 4x4 LOW
RANGE) on dry pavement is not recommended.
Operating the vehicle in four-wheel drive on dry
pavement will increase noise, vibration, tire
wear, decrease fuel economy, and make
four-wheel drive disengagement difficult for the
transfer case.

[DR23200(BEF )11/89]
If brakes do not grip well, it may indicate the
rear drum brakes need adjustment. To do this,
drive the vehicle in reverse at 5 mph (8 km/h)
on level, dry pavement. Stop the vehicle by
firmly applying the brakes. Repeat this
procedure four or five times.
*
[DR23250( ALL)11/89]
If during normal operation the brake pedal
seems ªlowº, it may indicate the need for a
brake system inspection and/or service. You
should have your brakes checked as soon as
possible.
*
[DR23300( ALL)02/95]
Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes annoyingly loud or increases
significantly in frequency of occurrence, return
the vehicle to your dealer for inspection.
