More Protection for Your Vehicle
*
[II04120(R)05/96]
You can get more protection for your new car or light truck by
purchasing a Ford Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP). Ford ESP
is the only extended service program with the Ford name on it
and the only service contract backed by Ford Motor Company.
*
[II04140(R)05/96]

administered by Ford. It provides:
*
[II04160(R)05/96]
n
protection against repair costs after your Bumper to Bumper
Warranty expires;
*
[II04180(R)05/96]
and
*
[II04200(R)05/96]
n
other benefits during the warranty period (such as:
reimbursement for rentals; coverage for certain maintenance
and wear items).
*
[II04220(R)05/96]
You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating Ford Motor
Company dealer. There are several Ford ESP plans available in
various time-and-mileage combinations. Each plan can be
tailored to fit your own driving needs, including reimbursement
benefits for towing and rental. (In Hawaii, rules vary. See your
dealer for details.)
*
[II04240(R)05/96]
When you purchase Ford ESP, you receive peace-of-mind
protection throughout the United States and Canada, provided
by a network of more than 5,100 participating Ford Motor
Company dealers.
*
[II04260(R)05/96]
NOTE: Repairs performed outside the United States and
Canada are not eligible for ESP coverage.
*
[II04280(R)05/96]

[IS12801(R)03/96]
Odometer
*
[IS12900(R)01/96]
The odometer tells you the total number of miles (kilometers)
your vehicle has been driven.
%*
[IS13000(R)01/96]
Trip Odometer
*
[IS13100(R)04/96]
If you want to track your mileage up to 999.9 miles
(kilometers), use the trip odometer. Simply set the trip odometer
to zero by pressing the reset control firmly when beginning the
distance you wish to measure.
% [IS13200(R)04/96]
Tachometer (If equipped)
*
[IS13300(R)03/96]
The tachometer will show you the engine's speed measured in
revolutions per minute (RPM).
*
[IS13400(R)03/96]
The tachometer may move slightly when the key is placed in
the ACC or ON position, with the engine off. This is normal
and does not affect the performance of the tachometer when the
engine is running.
*
[IS13525(R)03/96]
Some vehicles are equipped with an engine speed (RPM)
limiting device contained within the powertrain control module
(PCM). The purpose of this device is to maintain peak engine
speed (RPM) below a specified limit. This feature is only
evident on automatic transmission vehicles when shifting
manually (1, 2, D) and on all manual transmission units. (Engine
speed limits may vary based on engine displacement.)
*
[IS13550(R)03/96]
If you are experiencing an ªengine cut-outº condition at high
speeds, it may be the result of this limiting device. It is a
normal condition and can be avoided by reducing
vehicle/engine speed.
