[LG12753(BEF )05/95]
Some vehicles are equipped with a vehicle speed
(MPH/km/h) limiting device that is contained
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The purpose of this device is to maintain peak
vehicle speed below a specified limit. (Vehicle
speed limits may vary based on engine
displacement).

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.
*
[SV11500( ALL)05/95]
You may need to crank the engine several times
before the fuel system starts to pump fuel from
the tank to the engine.

Fuel Economy
*
[SV11700( ALL)06/95]
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of
your vehicle and can be calculated as Miles Per
Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per 100 Kilometers
(L/100K).
*
[SV11750( ALL)05/95]
Do not calculate fuel economy during your
vehicle's break-in period. This would not be an
accurate estimate of how much fuel your vehicle
will normally use.
*
[SV11800( ALL)05/95]
To calculate fuel economy:
*
[SV11900( ALL)06/95]
1. Fill the tank completely and record the
initial odometer reading.
*
[SV12000( ALL)06/95]
2. Every time you buy fuel record the
amount (in gallons or liters) purchased.
*
[SV12200( ALL)05/95]
3. After at least three to five tankfuls, fill the
fuel tank and record the final odometer
reading.
*
[SV12225( ALL)05/95]
4. Use these equations to calculate your fuel
economy.

q
English: MPG = (total miles)/(gallons used).
*
[SV12275( ALL)05/95]
q
Metric: L/100K = (liters used) x 100/(total
kilometers)

Changing the Engine Oil and the Oil Filter
*
[SV16500( ALL)04/95]
Change the engine oil and oil filterper the
following, whichever occurs first.
*
[SV16600(BEF )04/95]
one third page art:0060618-C
Oil change intervals
*
[SV16625( ALL)06/95]
NOTE: Idling the engine for extended periods
will accumulate more hours of use on
your vehicles than is actually indicated
by the mileage odometer.
Consequently, the odometer reading
can be often misleading when
determining the right time to change
your engine oil and filter.
*
[SV16650(BEF )06/95]
If you are using your Ford vehicle in a manner
which allows it to remain stationary while the
engine is running for long periods (door to
door delivery, taxi, police, power/utility
company trucks, or similar duty), then Ford
recommends you increase the frequency of oil
and filter changes to an interval equivalent to
200 ENGINE HOURS of use. Since most
vehicles are not equipped with hourmeters, it
may be necessary for you to approximate your
idle time and plan oil/filter changes
accordingly.
