NOTE: Always dispose of used automotive
fluids in a responsible manner. Follow
your community's standards for
disposing of these types of fluids. Call
your local recycling center to find out
about recycling automotive fluids.

Manual Transaxle Fluid
[SV29900(ALL)01/92]
The lubricant level and quality should not
deteriorate under normal driving conditions.
However, you should have the fluid level
checked occasionally. If lubricant is required, see
Lubricant specificationsin the Index.

[SV30200(ALL)02/95]
Brake Fluid
[SV30250(ALL)02/94]
If you have a manual transaxle, the brake fluid
reservoir in your vehicle includes the clutch
fluid reservoir.
*
[SV30300(ALL)03/95]
Under normal circumstances, your vehicle
should not use up brake fluid rapidly. However,
expect the level of the brake fluid to slowly fall
as you put more mileage on your vehicle and
the brake pads wear.
%*
[SV30400(ALL)06/93]
You should check the brake fluid at every
scheduled engine oil change, but be sure to
check it at least once a year. You can do this by
looking at the fluid level in the plastic reservoir
on the master cylinder. (SeeThe Engine Typesin
this chapter to locate the master cylinder.) The
fluid level should be at or near the MAX mark.
[SV30425(ALL)03/95]
If the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning
light in the instrument cluster will illuminate.
*
[SV30450(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Brake fluid is toxic.

RWARNING
Do not let the reservoir for the master
cylinder run dry. This may cause the
brakes to fail.

Power Steering Fluid
*
[SV31300(ALL)01/95]
Check the level of the power steering fluid at
least twice a year (i.e., every Spring and Fall).

Checking and Adding Power Steering
Fluid
*
[SV31500(ALL)02/95]
1. Start the engine and let it run until the
power steering fluid reaches normal
operating temperature. The power steering
fluid will be at the right temperature when
the engine coolant temperature gauge in the
instrument cluster is near the center of the
NORMAL operating temperature range.
*
[SV31600(ALL)01/95]
2. While the engine idles, turn the steering
wheel back and forth several times. Make
sure that the cap assembly is installed at this
time.
*
[SV31700(ALL)05/95]
3. Turn the engine off.
[SV31850(ALL)02/94]
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. The
fluid level should be in between the F (Full)
and L (Low) markings on the reservoir.
[SV32100(ALL)02/94]
5. If the power steering fluid is low, add fluid
in small amounts, continuously checking the
level until you reach the F (Full) range. Do
not overfill. To find out how much fluid
your vehicle's reservoir for the power
steering fluid will hold, seeRefill capacitiesin
the Index.
[SV32150(ALL)03/95]
6. When you are finished, put the reservoir cap
back on and make sure that it fits snugly.

To make sure that the catalytic converter and the
other emission control parts continue to work
properly:
*
[SV41400(ALL)01/95]
q
Use only unleaded fuel.
*
[SV41500(ALL)01/95]
q
Avoid running out of fuel.
*
[SV41600(ALL)01/95]
q
Do not turn off the ignition while your
vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds.
*
[SV41700(ALL)03/95]
q
Have the services listed in theMaintenance
Schedule and Recordbooklet performed
according to the specified schedule. The
scheduled maintenance services are required
because they are considered essential to the
life and performance of your vehicle and to
its emissions system.
*
[SV41720(ALL)03/95]
In general, maintenance, replacement, or service
of the emissions control devices or systems in
your new Ford Motor Company vehicle or
engine may be performed at your expense by
any automotive repair establishment or
individual using automotive parts equivalent to
those which your vehicle or engine was
originally equipped.
*
[SV41750(ALL)05/95]
If other than Ford or Motorcraft or Ford
authorized remanufactured parts are used for
maintenance, replacement, or for the service of
components affecting emissions control, the
owner should be assured that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company
parts in performance and durability. Please
consult your warranty information booklet for
complete warranty information.

[SV41800(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in
dry grass or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, which
can start a fire.
*
[SV42000(ALL)01/95]
Do not make any unauthorized changes to your
vehicle or engine. Changes that cause more
unburned fuel to reach the exhaust system can
increase the temperature of the engine or
exhaust system.
*
[SV42100(ALL)01/95]
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.
[SV42200(ALL)08/95]
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.
*
[SV42300(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.
%*
[SV42400(ALL)05/95]
Information about your vehicle's emission
control system is on the Vehicle Emission
Control Information decal located on or near the
engine. This decal identifies engine displacement
and gives some tune-up specifications.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
Testing
*
[SV42410(ALL)07/95]
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
varies with individual driving patterns. To
complete this requirement in the minimum
amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle
defined below. If the vehicle owner cannot or
does not want to do the additional driving
required by law, a service center can perform
this drive cycle as it would any other type of
repair work.
[SV42415(ALL)09/95]
OBD II Drive Cycle (1.9L Engine only)
[SV42416(ALL)08/95]
The following steps must be run in the order
shown. If any steps are interrupted, repeat the
preceding step. Any safe driving mode is
acceptable between steps.
[SV42417(ALL)09/95]
NOTE: Always drive vehicle in a safe manner
according to traffic conditions and obey
all traffic laws.

The engine must be warmed up and at
operating temperature before proceeding with
the drive modes of the following OBD II Drive
Cycle.
[SV42425(ALL)08/95]
1. Start the engine. Drive the vehicle or idle in
neutral for 4 minutes.
[SV42430(ALL)08/95]
2. Idle the vehicle in D (drive) (neutral for
manual transaxles) for 40 seconds.
[SV42435(ALL)08/95]
3. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 mph (55 km/h)
(manual transaxles upshift from 1st to 3rd
gear) at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle for 10 seconds.
[SV42440(ALL)08/95]
4. Drive the vehicle with a steady throttle at
35 mph (55 km/h) (manual transaxles use
3rd gear) for 30 seconds.
[SV42445(ALL)08/95]
5. Idle the vehicle in D (drive) (neutral for
manual transaxles) for 40 seconds.
[SV42450(ALL)08/95]
6. Continue to drive the vehicle in city traffic at
speeds between 25 and 40 mph
(40-64 km/h) (manual transaxles primarily
use 3rd and 4th gear when possible) for 15
minutes. During the 15 minute drive cycle
the following modes must be achieved:
*
[SV42455(ALL)07/95]
a. at least 5 stop and idle modes at 10
seconds each
[SV42460(ALL)06/95]
b. acceleration from idles at 1/2 to 3/4
throttle position, and
*
[SV42465(ALL)07/95]
c. choose 3 different speeds to do 1.5
minute steady state throttle drives.
[SV42470(ALL)08/95]
7. Accelerate the vehicle up to between 45 and
60 mph (72-97 km/h) (manual transaxles
upshift to 5th gear). This should take
approximately 5 minutes.

If an original 1.9L engine spark plug is removed
for examination, it must be reinstalled in the
same cylinder. Spark plugs in cylinders 1 and 3
have a EG suffix. Spark plugs in cylinders 2 and
4 have a E suffix. If a spark plug needs to be
replaced, use only spark plugs with the service
part number suffix EE as shown on the engine
decal.
