212 [RE11900( GV)03/91]If you have the anti-theft locking spoked wheel
cover, each wheel cover has a lock bolt behind
the center hub ornament. You need a special key
wrench (stored in the glove box) to pry this
ornament off and to remove the lock bolt. Do
not lose this wrench or you will not be able to
remove the wheel cover.
[RE12000( GV)05/95]
The key wrench has a registration number
attached to it. Keep the registration number in a
safe place. Complete the registration card and
return it to the manufacturer as soon as you buy
the vehicle. To replace the key wrench, send the
I.D. card to the manufacturer.

Circuit Breakers

[SV43000( ALL)01/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker that is on
the fuse panel, seeChecking and replacing fusesin
this chapter to find out how to locate the fuse
panel.
[SV43200( ALL)12/94]
Circuit breakers will reset themselves and allow
the electrical parts to work again once the
overload on the circuit is removed. If the circuit
breakers continue to cut off electricity, have your
vehicle's electrical system checked.
*
[SV43250( ALL)02/95]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
*
[SV43300( ALL)02/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
*
[SV43800(M GV)02/95]
Since the circuit breaker for the headlamps is
mounted in the headlamp switch, you must
replace the entire switch to install a new circuit
breaker.
[SV43900( GV)06/93]
Fuse Links
[SV43950( GV)03/93]
Fuse links are circuit protectors that are part of
the wiring harness for some electrical equipment.
These, like fuses, open when the circuit lead
exceeds their amperage rating. Fuse links may be
purchased from your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury
dealer. See the following charts to find out
which electrical parts are protected by a fuse
link.

By law, anyone who manufactures, repairs,
services, sells, leases, trades vehicles, or
supervises a fleet of vehicles is not permitted to
intentionally remove an emission control device
or prevent it from working. In some of the
United States and in Canada, vehicle owners
may be liable if their emission control device is
removed or is prevented from working.
*
[SV53500( ALL)02/92]
Never use a metal exhaust collector when you
service your vehicle. If the metal collector
contacts any of your vehicle's plastic trim or
bumper parts they could melt or deform.
*
[SV53600( ALL)01/95]
Do not drive your vehicle if it does not operate
properly. See your dealer if the engine runs on
for more than five seconds after you shut it off
or if it misfires, surges, stalls, or backfires.

[SV53715( ALL)05/95]
In some localities it may become a legal
requirement to pass an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the
vehicle's powertrain system or its battery has
just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to
a not ready for I/M testing condition. To
prepare for I/M testing, the law specifies a
ªneed for additional mixed city and highway
driving to complete the checkº of the OBD II
system. As soon as all of the OBD II system
checks are successfully completed, the OBD II
system is set to the ready condition. The amount
of driving required to reach the ready condition
