strong stations from the FM band.)
*
[AS03525(ALL)08/95]
With Auto Memory Store, you can
continually set strong stations into your
memory buttons without losing your existing
memory presets, which is especially handy
while traveling. Your radio will automatically

stations so you don't have to continually
manually tune to existing stations.

ªAUTO PRESETº button once. Your radio
will set the first five strong stations of the
band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
ªAUTO,º then run through the frequencies,
stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is
now in the ªAUTOº mode and the display
will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is
activated.
*
[AS03535(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.

Battery
[SV29220(ALL)03/95]
If the original equipment maintenance-free
battery is replaced, it may be replaced by a
low-maintenance battery. SeeMotorcraft Partsat
the end of this chapter for the proper
replacement battery.
*
[SV29230(ALL)03/95]
The low-maintenance battery has removable vent
caps for checking the electrolyte level and
adding water. The electrolyte level should be
checked at least every 24 months or 24,000 miles
(40,000 km) in temperatures up to90ÊF (32ÊC)
and more often in temperatures above90ÊF
(32ÊC). Keep the electrolyte level in each cell up
to the level indicator. Do not overfill.
*
[SV29240(ALL)03/95]
If the level gets low, refill the battery with
distilled water. If necessary, you can add tap
water to the battery, provided the water is not
hard or does not have a high mineral or alkali
content. If the battery needs water quite often,
have the charging system checked for a possible
malfunction.
[SV29245(ALL)03/95]
If you disconnect the battery, the engine must
ªrelearnº its idle conditions before your vehicle
will drive properly. To find out how the engine
does this, seeStarting your vehicle's fuel-injected
enginein the Index.
[SV29250(ALL)02/94]
If the battery has been disconnected, you will
have to reset the clock and the preset stations on
your radio once the battery is reconnected.
