Cleaning the Outside of Your
Vehicle
*
[IN07130( ALL)05/95]
Pollen, bird droppings and tree sap can damage
the paint, especially in hot weather. Wash your
vehicle as often as necessary to keep it clean.
*
[IN07160( ALL)05/95]
Take similar precautions if your vehicle is
exposed to chemical industrial fallout.
*
[IN07190( ALL )05/95]
Paint damage resulting from fallout is not
related to a defect in paint materials or
workmanship and therefore is not covered by
warranty. Ford, however, believes that continual
improvement in customer satisfaction is a high
priority. For this reason, Ford has authorized
their dealers to repair, at no charge to the
owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by
environmental fallout within 12 months or 12,000
miles (20,000 km) of purchase, whichever comes
first. Customers may be required to bring their
vehicle in for inspection by a Ford
representative.

The Electronic Cluster
*
[LG23900( GV)01/95]
The electronic cluster works only when your
ignition is in the ON position. Each time you
start your vehicle, the displays go through a
self-test by flashing on and off once before the
actual readings are displayed. (Neither the turn
signals nor the high beam indicator light will
flash like the other indicators do for the
self-test.) Some of the warning lights will flash
on and remain on (will not immediately flash
off) until the normal cluster display is lit. This
self-test is used to indicate that all of the
warning/indicator lights are working properly.
*
[LG24000( GV)01/95]
Your electronic cluster tells you about the
condition of your vehicle by using two types of
equipment:

Brake Fluid
*
[SV32000( ALL)04/95]
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 lining wears.
[SV32200( BCGV)03/95]
Check the brake fluid at each scheduled engine
oil change or at least once a year. You can do
this by looking at the fluid level in the plastic
reservoir on the master cylinder. Also, see label
on reservoir cap. (To locate the master cylinder,
seeThe Engine Typesin the Index.) The fluid
level should be between the MIN and MAX
marks.
*
[SV32350( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Brake fluid is toxic.
*
[SV32375( ALL)05/95]
If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with
running water for 15 minutes. Get medical
attention if irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical
attention immediately.
