Interval Wipers (If equipped)
[SC04240(ALL)08/91]
In addition to two speed wipers, your vehicle
may have wipers that you can set to operate at
varying intervals. For example, you can set the
interval so they wipe less often when it drizzles
and more often in heavier rain.

86 [SC04550(ALL)05/95]If the washer does not work, check the washer
fluid level visually and fill if needed. See
Servicing Your Probelater in this owner guide. If
there is fluid in the reservoir, and your washer
doesn't work, consult your Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
*
[SC04700(ALL)01/95]
Do not try to clean the windshield when the
washer fluid container is empty or activate the
washers at any time for more than 15 seconds
continuously. This could damage the washer
pump system.
*
[SC04800(ALL)01/93]
RWARNING
In freezing weather, the washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and obscure
your vision. Always warm up the
windshield with the defroster before you
use the washer fluid. If you cannot see
through the windshield clearly, it can
increase the risk of being involved in a
collision.

If your vehicle has speed control, you can
automatically maintain a constant speed at or
above 30 mph (50 km/h).
*
[SC06060(ALL)05/95]
Use of radio transmitting equipment that is not
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or

[SC06500(ALL)06/95]
If you drive up or down a steep hill, your
vehicle may momentarily slow down or speed
up, even though the speed control is on. This is
normal.
[SC06510(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transaxle, and if your speed
increases above your set speed while
driving in Overdrive on a downhill
grade, you may want to turn the
Overdrive off and use Drive. You may
turn the Overdrive off by pressing the
Overdrive off (O/D OFF) button. This
will reduce vehicle speed. Speed
control cannot reduce the vehicle speed
if it goes above your set speed on a
downhill grade.
[SC06520(ALL)01/94]
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a
5-speed manual transaxle, and if your
speed increases above your set speed
while driving in 5 (Fifth) gear on a
downhill grade, you may want to shift
to 4 (Fourth) gear to reduce vehicle
speed. Depressing the clutch pedal
cancels speed control, therefore speed
control must be reset by pressing the
SET ACC or RSM switches. Speed
control cannot reduce the vehicle speed
if it goes above your set speed on a
downhill grade.
