GARAGE DOOR OPENER
INTRODUCTION
HomeLink Wireless ControlSystem
The universal garage door opener replacesthe common handheld garage door openerwith a three-button transmitter integratedinto the driver-side sun visor.
How Does The Garage Door OpenerWork
The system includes two primary features,a garage door opener and a platform forremote activation of devices within thehome. You can program garage doors aswell as entry gate operators, securitysystems, entry door locks and home oroffice lighting.
Additional assistance can be found onlineat www.homelink.com/Ford or by callingthe toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.
Garage Door Opener Limitations
Canadian radio-frequency laws requiretransmitter signals to time out, or quit,after several seconds – which may not belong enough for HomeLink to pick up thesignal. U.S. gate operators time-out in thesame manner.

PRECAUTIONS AND
FREQUENCIES
Garage Door Opener Precautions
WARNING: Do not use the systemwith any garage door opener that doesnot have the safety stop and reversefeature as required by U.S. FederalSafety Standards (this includes anygarage door opener manufacturedbefore April 1, 1982). A garage dooropener which cannot detect an object,signaling the door to stop and reverse,does not meet current federal safetystandards. Using a garage door openerwithout these features increases the riskof serious injury or death.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF
EQUIPPED)
ENGINE BLOCK HEATERPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to follow engineblock heater instructions could result inproperty damage or serious personalinjury.
WARNING: Do not use your heaterwith ungrounded electrical systems ortwo-pronged adapters. There is a risk ofelectrical shock.
WARNING: Do not fully close thehood, or allow it to drop under its ownweight when using the engine blockheater. This could damage the powercable and may cause an electrical shortresulting in fire, injury and propertydamage.
We recommend that you do the followingfor a safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cordthat is product certified byUnderwriter’s Laboratory (UL) orCanadian Standards Association(CSA). This extension cord must besuitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with OutdoorAppliances. Do not use an indoorextension cord outdoors. This couldresult in an electric shock or become afire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord aspossible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and heater cordplug connections are free and clear ofwater. This could cause an electricshock or fire.
•If the block heater cord is under thehood, do not remove the wiring fromits original location. Do not close thehood on the extension wiring.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in aclean area, clear of combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord andextension cord are firmly connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in theelectrical hookup once the system hasbeen operating for about 30 minutes.
•Make sure the system is unplugged andproperly stowed before starting anddriving your vehicle. Make sure theprotective cover seals the prongs of theblock heater cord plug when not in use.
•Make sure the heater system ischecked for proper operation beforewinter.
HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER WORK
The engine block heater warms the enginecoolant. This allows the climate controlsystem to quickly respond. The equipmentincludes a heater element installed in theengine block and a wire harness. You canconnect the system to a grounded 110 voltAC electrical source.

Note:The engine block heater is mosteffective when outdoor temperatures arebelow 0°F (-18°C).
USING THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the heater longer than three hoursdoes not improve system performance andunnecessarily uses electricity.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Always set the parkingbrake fully and make sure you shift thegearshift lever to first gear. Switch theignition off and remove the key wheneveryou leave your vehicle.
Failure to fully press the clutch pedal tothe floor may cause increased shift efforts,premature wear to transmissioncomponents or damage the transmission.
Do not drive with your foot resting on theclutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to holdyour vehicle at a standstill when waitingon a hill. These actions reduce the life ofthe clutch and could nullify a clutchwarranty claim.
SHIFTING INTO REVERSE
Reverse (R)
1.Press the clutch pedal to the floor todisengage clutch.
2.Shift into reverse (R) by raising thecollar below the gearshift knob up, thenmoving the lever fully to the left, thenforward.
Note:You can only move the gearshift leverto reverse (R) by raising the collar below thegearshift knob up before shifting to reverse.This is a lockout feature which protects thetransmission from accidentally engagingreverse (R) when intending to select first(1).
If reverse (R) is not fully engaged press theclutch pedal, return the gearshift to theneutral position, then release the clutchpedal. Re-apply the clutch pedal, then liftthe gearshift collar and shift into reverse(R) again.
Note:Do not move the transmissionselector lever to reverse (R) gear when yourvehicle is moving. This can cause damageto the transmission.
Note:Make sure that your vehicle is at acomplete stop before you shift into reverse(R). Failure to do so could damage thetransmission.
CRAWLER GEAR
WHAT IS CRAWLER GEAR
Allows you to cruise at ultra low speedswith the clutch fully engaged, when drivingthrough obstacles and jagged terrain.
USING CRAWLER GEAR
Crawler (C)
Shifting into crawler gear:
1.Press the clutch pedal to the floor todisengage clutch.
2.Shift into crawler (C) by raising thecollar below the gearshift knob up, thenmoving the lever fully to the left, thenbackward.

Note:You can only move the gearshift leverto crawler (C) by raising the collar belowthe gearshift knob up before shifting tocrawler. This is a lockout feature whichprotects the transmission from accidentallyengaging crawler (C) when intending toselect second (2).
If crawler (C) is not fully engaged press theclutch pedal down, return the gearshift tothe neutral position, then release the clutchpedal. Re-apply the clutch pedal, then liftthe gearshift collar and shift into crawler(C) again.
The crawler gear enables an easier start inunusual conditions or terrain. You shouldchange up to first (1) when possible andrefrain from using crawler (C) at highengine speeds as transmission damagecould result. See Manual TransmissionPrecautions (page 186).
In normal use, make sure your vehicle isstationary before selecting crawler (C) asit is primarily a starting gear. If you changedown to crawler (C) from first (1) while thevehicle is moving, make sure the enginespeed is below 1500 rpm, and that theclutch pedal is fully pressed for a smoothtransition to crawler gear.
RECOMMENDED SHIFT
SPEEDS
Recommended Shift Speeds
For best fuel efficiency when driving yourvehicle, shift to the next gear by 3000RPM.
Shifting at a higher RPM such as3000-6000 RPM can increase theperformance capabilities of the vehicle.However, higher engine and transmissionspeeds can increase wear and reduce fueleconomy.
When downshifting your vehicle, alwaysshift at the lowest engine RPM possible tomatch your driving conditions. This isusually under 2000 RPM for all forwardgears, except for downshifting into thecrawler (C) gear which you should dobelow 1500 RPM. See ManualTransmission Precautions (page 186).
Note:Always fully depress the clutch pedalbetween gear shifts.
