On vehicles equipped with ªnonº folding
(swing-out recreational) mirrors, automatic car
wash systems are not recommended. Use special
truck wash facilities for vehicles with this type
of mirror.

For the Econoline van without rear door
windows and all Econolines equipped with the
swing-out recreational mirrors, the right-hand
side mirror is a flat glass mirror. All other
right-hand side/view mirrors used on the
Econoline are convex. Convex mirrors have a
curved surface and will show a wider view of
the lane next to and behind your vehicle.

NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a
brake-shift interlock feature. This
feature prevents you from shifting
from P (Park) unless you have the
brake pedal depressed. (The ignition
must be in the ON position.) If you
cannot shift from P (Park) with the
brake pedal depressed:
*
[DR01220( EF )01/95]

Driving
*
[DR01600( EF )06/95]
When to use D (Drive)
*
[DR01700( EF )12/91]
This is the normal driving position. As the
vehicle picks up speed, automatic upshifts from
First gear to Second and Second to Third will
occur. The transmission automatically downshifts
as speed decreases.
*
[DR01800( EF )01/95]
When to use 2 (Second)
*
[DR01900( EF )12/91]
Use 2 (Second) to drive up moderately steep
grades, to start-up on slippery roads or to
provide engine braking on downgrades.
*
[DR02000( EF )12/91]
Do not go faster than 55 mph (88 km/h) in this
gear.

[DR02100( EF )01/95]
When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR02200( EF )06/92]
Use 1 (Low) to drive up steep grades and to
provide maximum engine braking on hilly roads.
Upshifts from 1 (Low) can be made by manually
shifting to 2 (Second) or D (Drive). Selection of 1
(Low) gear provides only First gear operation at
start-up. When driving, manually shifting to 1
(Low) will result in downshifts to Second gear
or First gear depending on vehicle speed.
*
[DR02250( EF )12/91]
NOTE: Do not drive faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) in this gear.
*
[DR02300( EF )01/95]
P (Park)
*
[DR02400( EF )03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). This position locks the
transmission and prevents the rear wheels from
turning. To securely latch the gearshift in the P
(Park) position, pull it toward you, push it
completely counterclockwise against the stop,
and then push it toward the instrument panel.
*
[DR02450( EF )03/94]
The gearshift is securely latched in P (Park) if
you cannot rotate it in a clockwise direction
without lifting it toward you.
*
[DR02500( EF )06/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure the gearshift is securely latched
in P (Park).

condition can result in transmission
overheat, malfunction or fluid
expulsion.

[DR22100( ALL)11/89]
Hydraulic Power Brakes
*
[DR22200(BEF )08/94]
The hydraulic brake system is made up of two
independent hydraulic circuits. One hydraulic
circuit supplies fluid to the front disc brakes and
the other hydraulic circuit supplies fluid to the
rear drum brakes. These two circuits are
supplied by a common hydraulic brake fluid
reservoir, with a fluid level sensor.
*
[DR22300( ALL)11/89]
The brake light in the instrument cluster will
light for low brake fluid in the common brake
fluid reservoir.
