Overdrive off indicator light
[IS04900(ALL)01/96]
If the light flashes for about 8 seconds when the ignition is
turned to ON, it means the transaxle control unit received an
improper signal the last time the vehicle was operated. It may
be necessary to have your dealer check the transaxle.

Fuel Gauge
[IS07000(ALL)01/96]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how much fuel you have
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly
while the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. An accurate reading may be
obtained when the vehicle is on smooth, level ground.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
[IS07300(ALL)05/96]
This gauge is accompanied by a thermometer symbol. It
indicates the temperature of the engine coolant when the
ignition is in the ON position.
[IS07400(ALL)01/96]
As the engine warms up, the pointer will move to the
NORMAL band. When you are driving in heavy traffic or
experiencing stop-and-go conditions in hot weather, the pointer
may move to the very top of the normal band.
[IS07500(ALL)01/96]
Under any circumstances, if the pointer moves past the upper
limit of the NORMAL band, the engine is overheating and
engine damage may occur.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
[IS09800(ALL)01/96]
This gauge shows you the temperature of the engine coolant
and is identified by a thermometer symbol. The letter H means
that the coolant is hot, C means that it is cold, and NORMAL
means that the coolant is within the normal operating range.
[IS09900(ALL)01/96]
The indicator bar on the graph will move into the normal
operating range as the engine warms up. When you are in
heavy traffic or stop-and-go driving in hot weather, the gauge
may read at the very top of the NORMAL range. This is
acceptable.
[IS10000(ALL)01/96]
However, if the indicator bar on the graph moves into the H
(hot) position, the engine is overheating and may cause engine
damage. If this happens, you should stop your vehicle as soon
as safely possible. Turn off the engine and let it cool. Check the
coolant level to be sure that it is at the proper level. If your
vehicle needs more coolant, seeEngine coolant, checking and
addingin the Index and read the section regarding adding
coolant.

[AS10400(ALL)09/94]
Your cassette tape player is equipped with power loading. Once
you insert a tape and push slightly (with theopen edge to the
right), the loading mechanism draws the tape the rest of the
way in and play will begin after a momentary tape tightening
process.
[AS10600(ALL)04/96]
How to locate a desired selection on the tape
[AS10700(ALL)05/94]
There are four ways to locate a desired selection on the tape.
You can use the fast forward, rewind, ªSEEKº or ªSCANº
function. Following are brief descriptions of each.
[AS10800(ALL)05/94]1.
Fast forwarding the tape
[AS10900(ALL)05/96]
To fast forward the tape, press the ªFFº button. The ª
Xº
display blinks while the tape fast forwards. The radio will
automatically begin playing until fast forward is manually
stopped (by pressing ªFFº button) or the end of the tape is
reached. At the end of the tape, the direction automatically
reverses and plays the other side of the tape.
[AS11000(ALL)06/95]2.
Rewinding the tape
[AS11100(ALL)07/95]
To rewind the tape, press the ªREWº button. The ª
Xº
display blinks while the tape rewinds. The radio will
automatically begin playing until rewind is manually
stopped (by pushing the ªREWº button) or the beginning of
the tape is reached.

Tips on caring for your cassette player and tapes
*
[AS12900(ALL)08/95]
In order to keep your cassette tape player performing the way it
was meant to, read and follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS13000(ALL)08/95]
n
Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less should be
used. Tapes longer than 90 minutes are thinner and subject
to breakage or may jam the tape player mechanism.
*
[AS13100(ALL)08/95]
n
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct sunlight, high
humidity and extreme heat or cold. If they are exposed to
extreme conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
*
[AS13200(ALL)08/95]
n
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become lodged in the
mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting
a cassette.

How to Take Care of and Clean Your CD Changer and
Discs
[AS32220(ALL)06/95]
To ensure the continued performance of your Ford Compact
Disc Changer, carefully read the following precautions:
*
[AS32230(ALL)04/96]
n
Always handle the disc by its edge. Never touch the playing
surface.
*
[AS32240(ALL)08/95]
n
Before playing, inspect the disc for any contamination. If
needed, clean the disc with an approved disc cleaner, such as
the DiscwasherHCompact Disc Cleaner or the Allsop 3H
Compact Disc Cleaner, by wiping from the center out to the
edges.Do not use a circular motion to clean.
*
[AS32250(ALL)04/96]
n
Do not clean discs with solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended
for analog records.
*
[AS32260(ALL)04/96]
n
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as defroster and floor heating ducts. Do not leave any
discs in a parked car in direct sunlight where there may be a
considerable rise in temperature or damage may result.
*
[AS32270(ALL)04/96]
n
After playing, store the disc in its case.
[AS32280(ALL)06/95]
n
If a disc has already been inserted, do not try to insert
another disc. Doing so may damage the disc changer.
[AS32290(ALL)06/95]
n
Do not insert anything other than a disc into the disc
changer.
*
[AS32295(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
The laser beam used in the compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the
case.

Terrain
[AS35700(ALL)05/94]
The terrain (hills, mountains, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS35900(ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ªbendsº around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
[AS36000(ALL)05/95]
This condition exists when the radio waves are reflected off
objects or structures; the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and distortion.
Cancellation effects are most prominent in metropolitan areas,
but also can becomes quite severe in hilly terrain and depressed
roadways.
[AS36100(ALL)03/93]
To minimize the effects of these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this system. This feature
automatically switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer
monaural signal, which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.

Operating with the function selector control in off or in
the recirculated air mode for extended periods of time in
cold weather can result in fog buildup on interior glass
surfaces.
[CF01200(ALL)01/96]

The Mix (P) button directs approximately equal amounts of
air to the windshield and floor outlets with a small amount
to the side windows.
[CF01300(ALL)01/96]

The Defrost (V) button directs air to the windshield with a
small amount going to the floor outlets.

The Panel (Q) button directs air to the instrument panel
outlets.
[CF01500(ALL)01/96]

amounts of air to the instrument panel outlets and the floor
outlets.

Air intake selector button
[CF01900(ALL)01/96]
The typical air intake selection is outside air. However, for
recirculated air, the air intake selector button may be activated.
When the air intake selector button is activated (indicator light
is on), it prevents the intake of outside air. This is the typical
selection when using the air conditioner (if equipped). It
recirculates interior air for faster cooling. The recirculated air
function also helps to prevent the intake of dusty or unpleasant
air.
