Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and
Tapes
*
[AS27700(BEF )02/95]
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS27750(BEF )02/95]
q
Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge to
clean the tape player head after 10-12 hours
of play will help maintain the best playback
sound and proper tape operation.
*
[AS27800(BEF )02/95]
q
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.
*
[AS27900(BEF )02/95]
q
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.
*
[AS28001(BEF )02/95]
q
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
*
[AS28101(BEF )02/95]
q
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.

q
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player when not in use. High heat in the
vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(BEF )02/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
*
[AS35400(BEF )04/95]
1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(BEF )02/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.
*
[AS35600(BEF )04/95]
2. Terrain
*
[AS35700(BEF )02/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.
*
[AS35900(BEF )01/95]
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(BEF )01/95]
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
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.

All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS36700(BEF )05/95]
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.
*
[AS36800(BEF )01/95]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given
area. This radio will tune to each of these
frequencies using MANUAL TUNE and no fine
tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use
other frequencies.
*
[AS36900(BEF )02/95]
Some FM radio stations advertise a
ªrounded-offº frequency which is not the
frequency they actually broadcast on. For
example, a radio station that is assigned a
frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself ªRadio 99º
even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM
broadcast frequency.

[DR22970(BE )10/94]
NOTE: It is important to note that when the
ABS Warning Light is illuminated the
ABS system is disabled. The vehicle
must be serviced immediately to
restore the benefits of the Anti-lock
system.
*
[DR22975(BE )10/94]
NOTE: Mobile phones or radio transmitters
not installed by Ford Motor Company
may interfere with the Anti-lock
System. Should the Anti-lock system
activate unexpectedly or the Anti-lock
Warning Light illuminate after
installation of such a unit, have the
installation of the unit checked.
*
[DR23000(BE M)12/89]
If Brakes Do Not Grip Well or Pedal is
ªLowº
*
[DR23200(BEF )11/89]
If brakes do not grip well, it may indicate the
rear drum brakes need adjustment. To do this,
drive the vehicle in reverse at 5 mph (8 km/h)
on level, dry pavement. Stop the vehicle by
firmly applying the brakes. Repeat this
procedure four or five times.
*
[DR23250( ALL)11/89]
If during normal operation the brake pedal
seems ªlowº, it may indicate the need for a
brake system inspection and/or service. You
should have your brakes checked as soon as
possible.
*
[DR23300( ALL)02/95]
Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes annoyingly loud or increases
significantly in frequency of occurrence, return
the vehicle to your dealer for inspection.

[AC01900( ALL)01/95]
NOTE: When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers, and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR, GAWR as shown
on the Safety Compliance Certification
Label). Consult your dealer for specific
weight information.
*
[AC02000( ALL)05/95]
NOTE: The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) or the Canadian
Radio Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulates the use of mobile
communications systems Ð such as
two-way radios, telephones, and theft
alarms Ð that are equipped with radio
transmitters. Any such equipment
installed in your vehicle should comply
with FCC or CRTC regulations and
should be installed only by a qualified
technician.
*
[AC02100( ALL)01/95]
NOTE: Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly
designed for automotive use or are not
properly installed. For example, when
operated, such systems may cause the
engine to stumble or stall. In addition,
such systems may themselves be
damaged or their operation affected by
operating your vehicle. (Citizens band
[CB] transceivers, garage door openers,
and other transmitters whose power
output is 5 watts or less will not
ordinarily affect your vehicle's
operation.)
