[AS36100(ALL)01/95]
To minimize 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)01/95]
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)01/95]
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.
*
[AS36400(ALL)01/95]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas) several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS36500(ALL)01/95]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM
and FM bands has been incorporated into this
system to reduce strong signal capture and
overload.

All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS36700(ALL)06/95]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM radio stations may use for their
broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM:
530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM:
87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.

U.S. Department of Transportation Ð Tire
quality grades:The U.S. Department of
Transportation requires Ford to give you the
following information about tire grades exactly
as the government has written it.
%*
[SV28399(ALL)01/95]
Treadwear
*
[SV28400(ALL)01/95]
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2)
times as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road characteristics
and climate.
*
[SV28499(ALL)01/95]
Traction A B C
*
[SV28500(ALL)01/95]
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
A, B, and C, and they represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on braking (straightahead) traction tests
and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.

Headlamp Bulb
*
[SV40400(ALL)01/95]
The headlamps on your vehicle use replaceable
bulbs. When the lamp burns out, simply replace
the bulb, rather than the whole lamp.
*
[SV40500(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully
and keep out of children's reach. Grasp
the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your
hand could cause the bulb to break the
next time the headlamps are operated.
*
[SV40600(ALL)01/95]
Do not remove the burned-out bulb unless you
can immediately replace it with a new one. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing
and affect its performance.
*
[SV40700(ALL)03/95]
Removing the headlamp bulb
*
[SV40800(ALL)05/95]
1. Make sure that the headlamp knob is in the
OFF position.
*
[SV40900(ALL)02/95]
2. Lift the hood and find the bulb in the
headlamp socket.
[SV41000(ALL)05/93]
3. Remove the electrical connector from the
bulb housing by pushing the locking tabs on
either side and pulling out the connector.
[SV41100(ALL)05/93]
4. Remove the retaining ring by turning it 1/8
of a turn to free it from the socket. Then
slide the ring off.Keep the ring.You must
use it again to hold the new bulb in place.
[SV41125(ALL)05/93]
5. Remove the rubber boot. Save it because
you'll need it to cover the new bulb.
[SV41150(ALL)05/93]
6. Release the metal retaining clip that holds
the bulb in place.
