position should only be used for vehicle towing.

[DR17490(B F )12/91]
NOTE: Dash mounted four wheel drive
indicator lights are off when your
vehicle is in neutral.
*
[DR17540(B F )01/95]
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.

[DR18080(B F )06/94]
For example:
*
[DR18110(B F )06/94]
If you were driving the vehicle forward in
4x4, the automatic locking hubs will
disengage the next time the vehicle is driven
in reverse in Two-Wheel Drive for
approximately 10 feet (3 meters) in a straight
line.
*
[DR18140(B F )06/94]
If you were driving the vehicle in reverse in
4x4, the automatic locking hubs will
disengage the next time the vehicle is driven
forward in Two-Wheel Drive for
approximately 10 feet (3 meters) in a straight
line.
*
[DR18170(B F )01/95]
Operating in two-wheel drive mode with the
hubs locked increases fuel consumption, noise,
vibration, and wear. For prolonged two-wheel
drive operation on dry pavement, disengagement
of the automatic locking hubs, which is not
required for two-wheel drive operation, stops all
movement of front-wheel drive components
while operating in two-wheel drive.
*
[DR18230(B F )03/91]
To shift from 4x4 to 4x4 LOW RANGE:
*
[DR18290(B F )06/92]
Stop the vehicle and place the automatic
transmission in NEUTRAL or depress the clutch
on vehicles with a manual transmission. Push
the LOW RANGE button on the instrument
panel to shift the transfer case from 4x4 to 4x4
LOW RANGE. Both the 4x4 and LOW RANGE
lights are now lit.
*
[DR18300(B F )08/94]
NOTE: The vehicle must already be in 4x4
before pushing the Low Range Button.

Driving Off Road with 4-Wheel
Drive
*
[DR19300(B F )11/89]
Most vehicles with four-wheel drive are
especially equipped for driving on sand, snow,
mud, or rough terrain and have operating
characteristics that are somewhat different from
conventional vehicles, both off and on the road.
The driving tips below will help you learn to
use four-wheel drive.
*
[DR19400(B F )10/94]
q
Do not use 4WD LOW on dry, hard-surfaced
roads.
*
[DR19600(B F )11/89]
q
Special maintenance procedures are necessary
after operating with drive components in
water.
*
[DR19700(B F )08/94]
q
Manual locking hubs must be in LOCK
position before shifting into four-wheel drive.
*
[DR19800(B F )11/89]
When using four-wheel drive, maintain steering
wheel control at all times, especially in rough
terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can
result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make
sure you grip the steering wheel rim from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes.
*
[DR19900(B F )05/90]
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from
concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.
Know the terrain or examine maps of the area in
question before driving. Map out your route
beforehand. To maintain steering and braking
control of your vehicle, you must have all four

RWARNING
If you are driving down a long or steep
hill, shift to a lower gear. Do not apply
your brakes continuously, as they may
overheat and become less effective.

[DR24600( ALL)03/95]
Using the Parking Brake
*
[DR24650(BEF )01/95]
The parking brake should be used whenever you
park your vehicle.
*
[DR24800(B F )12/91]
The parking brake pedal is suspended just below
the bottom of the instrument panel to the left of
service brake and/or clutch pedals. To set the
parking brake while parking your vehicle, press
the brake pedal with your right foot and hold it
while you push the parking brake pedal down
firmly and fully with your left foot.

Clean the filler plug on the side of the case.
Remove the filler plug. The fluid level should be
up to the bottom of the filler plug hole.

If additional fluid is required:
[SV34900(B F )01/95]
1. Add enough fluid through the filler plug
hole to bring the level up to the bottom of
the hole. Use only fluid certified to meet
Ford Motor Company lubricant specification
as listed underA Quick Reference for Refill
Capacities and Motorcraft Parts, later in this
section.

The Clutch
*
[SV35200(B F )03/91]
The clutch on your vehicle is automatically
self-adjusting and should not require any routine
service.
*
[SV35301(B F )03/91]
During normal operation the fluid level in the
clutch reservoir will slowly rise. If for any
reason the fluid level drops, maintain the fluid
level at the step in the reservoir body.

If it becomes necessary to remove the reservoir
cap, thoroughly clean the reservoir cap before
removing it to prevent dirt or water from
entering the reservoir. Remove the internal
diaphragm and then add only a DOT 3 brake
fluid such as Ford High Performance DOT 3

Driveline Universal Joint and
Slip Yoke
*
[SV36000(BEF )06/93]
The universal joints that come standard with
your vehicle do not require lubrication. If your
original equipment universal joints are replaced
with universal joints equipped with grease
fittings, lubrication will be necessary at the
intervals shown in theMaintenance Schedule and
Recordbooklet.
*
[SV36100(B F )06/93]
Your vehicle may be equipped with a constant
velocity or double cardan joint at the transfer
case end of the driveshaft. The front driveshaft
double cardan joint may be fitted with a flush
type grease fitting that requires an adapter to
permit proper lubrication. Lubricate the drive
joint according to the intervals shown in the
Maintenance Schedule and Recordbooklet.
