When you drive down steep hills, downshifting
helps you keep a safe speed and helps prevent
unnecessary wear on the brakes.
*
[DR15300(B F )03/95]
When you come to a stop, do not downshift
through each gear. Disengage the clutch and use
the brake as necessary. Downshifting through
the gears decreases your vehicle's fuel economy.
*
[DR15400(B F )05/95]
RWARNING
Continued use of a damaged or worn
clutch, prolonged clutch slippage or
downshifting at excessive speeds can
result in a failure of the engine,
transmission or clutch components.
*
[DR15500(B F )03/91]
Transmission Function
*
[DR15600(B F )03/91]
Upshift at the speeds specified in the chart
available for your engine and transmission. All
forward gears are synchronized allowing you to
shift into them with your vehicle in motion. The
clutch pedal should be fully depressed when
shifting.
*
[DR15625(B F )04/94]
NOTE: Shifting during extremely low rpm's
can result in a momentary audible
rattle which disappears as vehicle
rpm's are increased. Shifting at higher
speeds will eliminate this sound.
*
[DR15700(B F )03/95]
Parking
*
[DR15800(B F )01/95]
To park your vehicle, apply the service brake
pedal, and shift into N (Neutral) while still
maintaining pressure on the service brake. Set
the parking brake fully. Shift into first and turn
off the ignition.

220Overloading a vehicle punishes components and
can lead to shortened service life or outright
failure.
*
[DR31001( ALL)06/92]
The capacity of the tires is included as part of
the axle and suspension system, which is to be
considered when determining the lowest rated
component. Tires are rated to carry a specific
maximum load at a specific maximum tire
pressure.
*
[DR31050( ALL)06/92]
Passenger car type tires when installed on light
trucks and multipurpose passenger vehicles are
rated at 10% lower load carrying capacity due to
the differences in vehicle usages.
*
[DR31101(BEF )07/92]
The vehicle must not be loaded to both the front
and rear GAWR because the GVWR will be
exceeded. The GAWR of the front and rear axles
exceed the GVWR when added together to allow
flexibility in fore and aft loading of cargo.
*
[DR31110( ALL)06/92]
With the tires inflated to the specified pressure
the total weight of your vehicle must not exceed
the GVWR and GAWR specified on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label. This includes full
fuel tank(s), vehicle equipment, and occupants as
well as the cargo load.
*
[DR31120( ALL)06/92]
GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating)
*
[DR31130( ALL)06/92]
GCWR is the maximum combined weight of the
towing vehicle (including passengers and cargo)
and the loaded trailer. The GCWR is specified
by the manufacturer to indicate the combined
maximum loaded weight that the vehicle is
designed to tow.
*
[DR31140( ALL)06/92]
Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
*
[DR31150( ALL)06/92]
The maximum weight of a trailer the vehicle is
permitted to tow. The maximum trailer weight
rating is specified by the manufacturer and is
determined by subtracting the vehicle curb

Cleaning the Engine
*
[SV05920(BEF )04/95]
A clean engine is more efficient because a
buildup of grease and dirt acts as an insulator,
keeping the engine warmer than usual.
*
[SV05940(BEF )05/95]
q
Extreme care must be used if a power washer
is used to clean the engine. The high pressure
fluid could penetrate sealed parts and
assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[SV05960(BEF )04/95]
q
In order to avoid possible cracking of the
engine block or fuel injection pump, do not
spray a hot engine or injection pump with
cold water.
*
[SV05980(BEF )04/95]
q
The alternator, distributor and air intake must
be covered. Covering these components will
help prevent water damage.
*
[SV06000(BEF )04/95]
q
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is
running. Water getting into the engine may
cause internal damage.

[SV06600(BEF )10/94]
To open the fuel filler door of your vehicle, just
insert your finger in the divot and pull the door
open all the way.
*
[SV06700( ALL)01/95]
Removing the fuel cap
*
[SV06750( ALL)01/95]
The proper instructions for removing the fuel
cap are as follows:
*
[SV06800( ALL)03/90]
q
Unscrew the fuel cap by exerting pressure on
the plastic lock bar and rotating the fuel cap
counterclockwise.
*
[SV06850( ALL)12/91]
q
Turn the fuel cap 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn until a
hissing sound is heard. Wait until the hissing
sound stops and then continue rotating
counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
*
[SV06900( ALL)03/93]
q
Make sure that you follow the above fuel cap
removal instructions and use caution. Such
caution will minimize the possibility of fuel
spraying during removal of the fuel cap.
*
[SV06950( ALL)03/91]
To replace and secure the fuel cap; place it in
position and rotate it clockwise until it clicks
(ratchets). Doing so will not damage or break
the fuel cap. The ratcheting mechanism allows
the fuel cap to be sealed without overtightening.
[SV06975( ALL)05/95]
If you lose the fuel cap, replace it with an
authorized Motorcraft or equivalent part.

[SV07000( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the
pressure in the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work improperly
in a collision.

Filling the fuel tank
*
[SV10400( ALL)04/94]
RWARNING
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure
in an overfilled tank may cause leakage
and lead to fuel spray and fire.
*
[SV10500( ALL)01/95]
To fill the fuel tank properly:
*
[SV10550( ALL)01/95]
NOTE: Extinguish all lit cigarettes, other
smoking materials, and any open
flames before fueling your vehicle.
*
[SV10600( ALL)01/95]
1. Remove the fuel cap by following the
instructions above underRemoving the Fuel
Capin this chapter. Proceed to add fuel to
the tank only if your vehicle is on level
ground.
*
[SV10700( ALL)03/95]
2. Make sure that you pump unleaded fuel and
put the nozzle all the way inside the fuel
filler pipe.
*
[SV10800( ALL)05/95]
3. If you spill any fuel on the body of your
vehicle, clean it off immediately. The fuel
may dull or soften the paint if you do not
wash it off.
%*
[SV10900( ALL)05/95]
4. Replace the fuel cap completely when you
are finished. Turn it clockwise 1/4 turn until
it is tight. It will click when it is fully
tightened.

Running Out of Fuel
*
[SV11400( ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, try to stop on
level ground away from traffic. Add at least two
gallons (8 liters) of fuel to start your vehicle
again. If your vehicle is not on level ground,
you may need as much as five gallons (20 liters)
of fuel to start it.

Wiper blade replacement
*
[SV25000(BEF )03/95]
If the wiper blades still do not work properly
after you clean them, you may need to replace
the wiper blade assembly or the blade element.
When replacing the wiper blade assembly, blade
refill, or wiper arm always use a Motorcraft part
or equivalent. To replace the blades, follow the
instructions that come with them.

[SV25200( ALL)03/95]
Tires
*
[SV25300( ALL)03/95]
Look at your tires each time you fill your fuel
tank. If one tire looks lower than the others,
check the pressure in all of them. Always follow
these precautions:
*
[SV25400( ALL)04/95]
q
Keep your tires inflated to the pressures that
are recommended.(SeeChecking the pressure
of the tireslater in this chapter.)
*
[SV25500(BEF )02/95]
q
Stay within the recommended load limits (see
Load limitsin the Index).
*
[SV25600( ALL)02/95]
q
Make sure the weight of your load is evenly
distributed.
*
[SV25700( ALL)10/89]
q
Drive at safe speeds.
*
[SV25800( ALL)01/95]
If you do not take these precautions, your tires
may fail or go flat.
*
[SV25875( ALL)05/95]
Ford Motor Company recommends obeying
posted speed limits.
*
[SV25900( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Driving too fast for conditions creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
Driving at very high speeds for extended
periods of time may result in damage to
vehicle components.
