Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
*
[LG07601( ALL)06/93]
This gauge indicates the engine's oil pressure,
not the oil level. However, if your engine's oil
level is low, it could affect the oil pressure. With
the engine running, the pointer should move
into the NORMAL band. If the pointer drops
below the NORMAL band while the engine is
running, you have lost oil pressure and
continued operation will cause severe engine
damage.
*
[LG07701( ALL)03/95]
If you lose engine oil pressure:
*
[LG07801( ALL)01/95]
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible.
*
[LG07901( ALL)04/95]
2. Shut off the engine immediately or severe
engine damage could result.
*
[LG08001( ALL)02/95]
3. Check the engine's oil level, following the
instructions on checking and adding engine
oil. Refer toEngine oilin the Index. If you
do not follow these instructions, you or
others could be injured. To assure an
accurate reading, your vehicle should be on
level ground.
*
[LG08051( ALL)03/93]
4. If the level is low, add only as much oil as
necessary before you start the engine again.
Do not overfill. Do not operate the engine if
the pointer is below the NORMAL band,
regardless of the oil level. Contact your
nearest dealer for further service actions.

Speedometer
*
[LG12700( ALL)01/95]
The speedometer tells you how many miles
(kilometers) per hour your vehicle is moving.
*
[LG12750(BEF )04/95]
Your vehicle contains a speedometer which
receives its input from the Anti-Lock brake
sensor. The speedometer is also used to provide
a speed signal for correct operation of the
vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM),
electronic transmission, and speed control (if so
equipped). Because of this, it is very
IMPORTANT to change the speedometer's
internal conversion constant if the size of the
tires on the vehicle is changed. Changing the
conversion constant to the proper value when
the tires are changed will also ensure that the
speedometer retains the original factory-set
accuracy. NOTE: The conversion constant can
only be changedsix timesonce the vehicle
leaves the factory. Your Ford dealership service
personnel can change the conversion constant.

[LG12753(BEF )05/95]
Some vehicles are equipped with a vehicle speed
(MPH/km/h) limiting device that is contained
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The purpose of this device is to maintain peak
vehicle speed below a specified limit. (Vehicle
speed limits may vary based on engine
displacement).

The following tips will help you to get the most
satisfaction from your heater system.
[IP01745( E )04/95]
q
In humid weather, selectVDEFROST. This
will help to prevent windshield fogging. After
a few minutes of operation, you may select
another air flow position.

Do not put objects under the front seats
unless your vehicle is equipped with an
underseat storage tray. Improperly stored
objects will interfere with the flow of air
under the seats to the back seat area.
*
[IP01756( E )02/95]

Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air
intake area at the bottom of the windshield.
