WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Base instrument cluster
Optional instrument cluster
Mach 1 instrument cluster
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious enough to cause
expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate
when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any
light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
1.Fan speed
adjustment:Controls
the volume of air
circulated in the
vehicle.
2.Temperature selection:Controls the
temperature of the airflow in the vehicle.
3.Air flow selections:Controls the direction of
the airflow in the vehicle. See the following for a
brief description on each control.
MAX A/C:Uses recirculated air through the
instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This
mode is more noisy than A/C, but is more
economical and efficient. May reduce undesirable
odors from entering the vehicle.
A/C:Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows
from the instrument panel register vents only.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel vents.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will
not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster vents and floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster vents.
OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during
humid weather, place the air flow selector in
the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle:
duringcold weather,do not drive with the air
flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
duringwarm weather,do not drive with the air
flow selector in the OFF position.

•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave
the air flow selector in MAX A/C or OFF when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to
“breathe”using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will
interfere with the air flow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air
intake area at the base of the windshield.
Do not place objects on top of the
instrument panel as these objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
Ensure that the ignition
is in the ON position.
Press the control to
clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. The LED
will illuminate.
The defroster turns off automatically after 10
minutes or when the ignition is turned OFF. To
manually turn off the defroster before 10 minutes,
push the control again.

Reasons given... Consider...
“The people I’m with
don’t wear belts”Set the example, teen deaths
occur 4 times more often in
vehicles with TWO or MORE
people. Children and younger
brothers/sisters imitate behavior
they see.
“I have an air bag”Air bags offer greater protection
when used with safety belts.
Frontal airbags are not designed
to inflate in rear and side
crashes or rollovers.
“I’d rather be thrown
clear”Not a good idea.Peoplewho
areejected are 40 times
more likely to DIE.Safety
belts help prevent ejection, WE
CAN’T“PICK OUR CRASH”.
Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to
avoid the Belt Minder chime. Sitting on the
safety belt will increase the risk of injury in an
accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the
Belt Minder feature please follow the directions
stated below.
One time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then
unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, the
BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle
only.
Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature
Read steps1-9thoroughly before proceeding
with the deactivation/activation programming
procedure.
The BeltMinder feature can be deactivated/activated
by performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, ensure that the
following conditions are met:
•The parking brake is set.

on seatback (if equipped), child safety seat LATCH
and tether anchors, and attaching hardware, should
be inspected after a collision. Ford Motor Company
recommends that all safety belt assemblies in use in
vehicles involved in a collision be replaced. However,
if the collision was minor and a qualified technician
finds that the belts do not show damage and
continue to operate properly, they do not need to be
replaced. Safety belt assemblies not in use during a
collision should also be inspected and replaced if
either damage or improper operation is noted.
Failure to inspect and if necessary replace
the safety belt assembly under the above
conditions could result in severe personal injuries
in the event of a collision.
Refer toInteriorin theCleaningchapter.
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

of position at the time of air bag deployment. It is
extremely important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the air bag module as
possible while maintaining vehicle control.
The SRS consists of:
•driver and passenger air bag modules (which
include the inflators and air bags)
•one or more impact and safing sensors
•a readiness light and tone
•a diagnostic module
•and the electrical wiring which connects the
components
The diagnostic module monitors its own internal
circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical
system wiring (including the impact sensors), the
system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the
air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors.
Several air bag system components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch them after
inflation.
If the air bag has deployed,the air bag will
not function again and must be replaced
immediately.If the air bag is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument
cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the
system. Refer toAir bag readinesssection in the
Instrument clusterchapter. Routine maintenance of
the air bag is not required.

Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped
for a long period of time, open the windows at least
2.5 cm (one inch) or adjust the heating or air
conditioning to bring in fresh air.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal,
continuous grinding or continuous squeal sound is
present, the brake linings may be worn-out and
should be inspected by a qualified service
technician. If the vehicle has continuous vibration or
shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the
vehicle should be inspected by a qualified service
technician.
Refer toBrake system
warning lightin the
Instrument Cluster
chapter for information
on the brake system warning light.
Four-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS). This system helps you
maintain steering control during emergency stops by
keeping the brakes from locking. Noise from the
ABS pump motor and brake pedal pulsation may be
observed during ABS braking; any pulsation or
mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.
ABS warning lamp
ABS
The ABS lamp in the
instrument cluster
momentarily illuminates
when the ignition is
turned to ON. If the light does not illuminate during
start up, remains on or flashes, the ABS may be
disabled and may need to be serviced.

Even when the ABS is
disabled, normal
braking is still effective.
(If your BRAKE
warning lamp illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system serviced
immediately.)
Using ABS
When hard braking is required, apply continuous
force on the brake pedal; do not pump the brake
pedal since this will reduce the effectiveness of the
ABS and will increase your vehicle’s stopping
distance. The ABS will be activated immediately,
allowing you to retain full steering control during
hard braking and on slippery surfaces. However, the
ABS does not decrease stopping distance.
Hydraulic brake booster system (Hydroboost)
(if equipped)
The Hydroboost system receives fluid pressure from
the power steering pump to provide power assist
during braking.
For Hydroboost-equipped vehicles operating under
normal conditions, the noise of the fluid flowing
through the booster may be heard whenever the
brake is applied. This condition is normal; vehicle
service is not required.
If braking performance or pedal response becomes
very poor, even when the pedal is strongly
depressed, it may indicate the presence of air in the
hydraulic system or leakage of fluid. Stop the vehicle
safely as soon as possible and seek service
immediately.
