208 [DR22430( E M)04/95]Hydraulic Brake Booster System
(Hydro Boost)
[DR22460( E M)04/95]
The Hydro Boost system receives its source of
power from the power steering system pump.
% [DR22550( E )03/93]
Rear Anti-lock Brakes (If equipped)
*
[DR22750( E )10/94]
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Rear
Anti-lock Brake System. This system prevents at
least one and often both rear wheels from
completely locking up when the brakes are
applied in a panic stop, for example.
*
[DR22800( EF )07/94]
Even with the Anti-lock Brake System, you
should be careful when braking. Front brake
lock up on any surface, even on smooth
pavement causes loss of steering control. Heavy
braking on roads with loose surfaces such as
snow or gravel, or severe pavement irregularities
could also cause you to lose steering control of
your vehicle.
*
[DR22900( EF )05/95]
RWARNING
If the anti-lock brake system warning
light remains on or comes on while
driving, have the braking system checked
by a qualified service technician as soon
as possible.
*
[DR22902( EF )06/95]
NOTE: If a fault occurs in the anti-lock
system, and the brake warning light is
not lit, the anti-lock system is disabled
but normal brake function remains
operational.
[DR22908( E )03/93]
Anti-lock Brake System (If equipped)
*
[DR22912( E )08/94]
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Four
Wheel Anti-lock Braking System (4WABS). The
4WABS helps the driver to maintain vehicle
control by preventing wheel lockup during hard
braking.
File:10ltdre.ex
Update:Wed Apr 17 08:44:07 1996

209
*
[DR22915(BE )03/94]
The 4WABS operates with a computer that is
able to optimize vehicle control during braking
on varying tire and road conditions by
modulating the brake pressure at each of the
front wheels and the rear axle. This ªpumping
actionº is similar to the driver ªpumpingº the
brakes but happens at a much faster rate.
*
[DR22920(BE )05/95]
RWARNING
The Anti-lock system does NOT assist the
vehicle in stopping quickly on wet or icy
surfaces. Heavy braking combined with
poor road conditions could cause you to
lose steering control of your vehicle.
*
[DR22925(BE )10/94]
Using anti-lock brakes
*
[DR22930(BE )05/94]
The operation of a vehicle with 4WABS is not
similar to the operation of normal brakes. Some
differences exist and are listed below:
*
[DR22935(BE )10/94]
q
Apply the brake steadily. In the event of a
panic stop, do NOT ªpumpº the brakes.
ªPumpingº the brakes during an Anti-lock
stop will diminish braking effectiveness.
%*
[DR22940(BE )10/94]
q
During an Anti-lock stop, the driver will
notice a brake pedal pulsation and hear some
noise from the engine compartment. This is
an indication that the 4WABS system is
working correctly and is normal.
*
[DR22945(BE )05/95]
RWARNING
The Anti-lock system does NOT decrease
the time necessary to apply the brakes.
Always leave enough room between the
vehicle in front of you and your vehicle.

4WABS driver warning light
[DR22955(BE )08/94]
The 4WABS computer continuously monitors the
system while driving for any electrical faults or
system malfunctions. In addition, the 4WABS
computer performs an initial system check called
bulb proveout when the vehicle ignition is
switched on. During bulb proveout, the amber
ªABSº light on the instrument cluster will
momentarily illuminate and then go out.
*
[DR22960(BE )03/93]
NOTE: After starting the vehicle and upon
initial drive-off, the driver may notice
a single pulse of the brake pedal and a
noise from the engine compartment.
This is part of the initial system check
and is normal.
[DR22965(BE )08/94]
Should a malfunction in the 4WABS system
occur, the amber ªABSº light on the instrument
cluster will come on and stay on indicating that
the antilock system has been shut down and the
vehicle needs to be serviced. Normal braking is
not affected unless the red brake warning light
is also illuminated.
*
[DR22970(BE )10/94]
NOTE: It is important to note that when the
ABS Warning Light is illuminated the
ABS system is disabled. The vehicle
must be serviced immediately to
restore the benefits of the Anti-lock
system.
*
[DR22975(BE )10/94]
NOTE: Mobile phones or radio transmitters
not installed by Ford Motor Company
may interfere with the Anti-lock
System. Should the Anti-lock system
activate unexpectedly or the Anti-lock
Warning Light illuminate after
installation of such a unit, have the
installation of the unit checked.

[SV10215( ALL)03/95]
Gasoline and gasoline-methanol blends may
contain small amounts of carcinogens, such as
benzene. Long-term exposure to unleaded
gasoline vapors has caused cancer in laboratory
animals. Further, excessive inhalation of fuel
vapors can cause headache, dizziness, nausea,
loss of coordination, and other symptoms which
could interfere with your ability to safely
operate your vehicle. To the extent possible,
avoid breathing vapors while refueling. If fuel
vapors are inhaled in excessive quantities, move
the victim to fresh air and seek medical
attention.
*
[SV10220( ALL)03/95]
Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through
the skin. When refueling, be careful not to
splash fuel on yourself or your clothing. If fuel
is splashed on the skin, promptly remove
contaminated clothing and wash the skin
thoroughly with soap and water.
*
[SV10225( ALL)05/95]
Fuels can cause severe eye irritation and possibly
eye damage. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with large
amounts of water for 15 minutes, and seek
medical attention.
*
[SV10230( ALL)06/95]
You should be particularly careful if you are
taking the medication ªAntabuseº or other forms
of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism.
There is a possibility that breathing the vapors
of a gasoline-methanol blend, or skin contact
with such a blend, may cause the same kind of
adverse reaction as drinking an alcoholic
beverage. In sensitive individuals, serious
personal injury or sickness could result. Consult
a physician promptly if you experience an
adverse reaction.

[SV47000(BEF )02/95]
1. With the flat side of the bulb's plastic base
facing upward, insert the glass end of the
bulb into the socket. You may need to turn
the bulb left or right to line up the grooves
in the plastic base with the tabs in the
socket. When the grooves are aligned, push
the bulb into the socket until the plastic base
contacts the rear of the socket.
*
[SV47100(BEF )02/95]
2. Slip the bulb retaining ring over the plastic
base until it contacts the rear of the socket.
Lock the ring into the socket by rotating it
clockwise until you feel a ªstopº.
[SV47250( E )12/91]
3. Reposition the three adjuster screws into the
retaining holes and hold while pushing the
two black tabs downward to engage the
ends of the adjuster screws. You will hear a
ªsnapº when the tabs are properly engaged.
Make sure lamp is secured properly by
pulling it forward. If it is loose, remove
lamp and reinstall.
