Tachometer (If equipped)
*
[LG13300(B F )05/95]
The tachometer will show you the engine's
speed measured in revolutions per minute
(RPM).
*
[LG13400(B F )05/95]
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.
*
[LG13525(B F )05/95]
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).
*
[LG13550(B F )05/95]
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.

You can also purchase additional transmitters
(up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your
dealer. You will need to take all your
transmitters to the dealer so they can program
them to the remote entry system all at the same
time.

[FV18601(BEF )04/95]
Illuminated Entry System (If equipped)
[FV18701(BEF )04/95]
This system will provide illumination of the
vehicle's interior courtesy lamps when either
outside front door handle is pulled or when the
Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door
or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will
automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the
START or ACCESSORY position.
*
[FV18801(BEF )04/94]
NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off if
you have turned them on with the
dimmer knob or if any door is open.

When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to all of these lights after
40 minutes: glove box, engine compartment,
overhead console, mirror, courtesy and
interior (including cargo) lamps.
*
[FV19102(B F )03/95]
This will prevent draining of the battery if these
lights have been left on inadvertently or if a
door is not completely closed. Battery voltage to
these lamps will be restored when the remote

Driving Your Bronco
*
[DR00350(BEF )03/95]
Procedures for driving your vehicle will vary
depending on which type of transmission your
vehicle has.

(E4OD)

[DR00650(BEF )04/95]
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic
Powertrain Control Module that limits engine
and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out mode to
promote durability.
*
[DR08650(BEF )03/93]
Automatic Transmission
Operation (E4OD and 4R70W)
*
[DR08710(BEF )03/94]
The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
*
[DR08720( ALL)08/94]
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more

176quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has
not reached normal operating temperature.
*
[DR08730( ALL)07/94]
The PCM also controls the transmission's Torque
Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle
performance and fuel economy. The Torque
Converter Clutch will engage when the
transmission operating temperature and other
conditions determined by the PCM have been
met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as
a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has
completed or when the driver has depressed the
throttle while driving at a steady road speed.
[DR08740( ALL)04/95]
To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually
performs self-tests on the electronic control
system and if any faults are detected, will store
them in memory. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the
gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a
malfunction has been detected. If the TCIL is
flashing, contact your Ford dealer as soon as
possible. If this condition persists, damage to the
transmission could occur.
[DR08745( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: The word ªOFFº located on the end of
the gearshift lever is the transmission
control indicator light (TCIL).

[DR08750( ALL)01/95]
Putting Your Vehicle in Gear
*
[DR08800( ALL)03/94]
Your vehicle's gearshift is on the steering
column. The Transmission Control Switch and
indicator light are located on the end of the
gearshift lever. You can put the gearshift in any
of the several positions.

*
[DR09600( ALL)04/95]
This is the normal driving position. As the
vehicle picks up speed, automatic upshifts to
second, third and fourth gears will occur when
jOverdrive is chosen on the selector and the
transmission control switch has not been
pressed. The transmission will shift into the
correct gear when the right speed is achieved,
for the accelerator pedal position you have
chosen.

When to use Drive
*
[DR09800( ALL)05/95]
You will note that there isn't a drive position on
your gearshift indicator. However, you will find
a Transmission Control Switch and an indicator
light labeled ªOverdriveº located on the end of
the gearshift lever. Press this switch and the
word ªOFFº will illuminate on the shift lever
knob. With the word ªOFFº illuminated, the
transmission will operate in gears one through
three. Operating in the Overdrive ªOFFº mode
gives more engine braking than Overdrive and
is useful for descending hills or when towing.

To return the transmission to the normalj
Overdrive operation, press the transmission
control switch again. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light will not be illuminated when
Overdrive operation resumes. This switch may
be used to select O/D ON or O/D OFF any
time the vehicle is being driven.

[DR09950( ALL)05/94]
When starting your vehicle, the overdrive system
will automatically be in the normal overdrive
mode.
*
[DR10000( ALL)03/94]
If the Transmission Control Indicator Light is
flashing on and off steadily, a transmission
system malfunction was detected. The
transmission will operate in a failure
management mode and may have harsh
engagements, firm shift feel, or abnormal shift
schedule. If this condition persists, damage to
the transmission could occur. Contact your
dealer as soon as possible.
*
[DR10100( ALL)01/95]
When to use 2 (Second)
*
[DR10200( ALL)01/95]
Use 2 (Second) to start-up on slippery roads or
to provide additional engine braking on
downgrades. This position provides 2 (Second)
gear operation only.
*
[DR10300( ALL)01/95]
When to use 1 (Low)
*
[DR10400( ALL)04/95]
Use 1 (Low) to provide maximum engine
braking on steep downgrades. Upshifts from 1
(Low) can be made by manually shifting to 2
(Second) orj(Overdrive). Selection of 1 (Low)
gear provides only low gear operation from
start-up. Selection of 1 (Low) while at higher
speeds provides a shift to second gear, and a
shift to first gear will occur after the vehicle
decelerates to the proper speed.
