How to view the clock mode
[AS30421(ALL)09/94]
Press the”CLK“button to display time. The time will continue
to be displayed until a radio or tape function is chosen. After
approximately 10 seconds, the time will again appear in the
display. To display radio or tape information only, press the
”CLK“button a second time.
[AS30431(ALL)09/95]
NOTE: The clock can be displayed or set whether the ignition
is on or off.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(ALL)08/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:
*
[AS35400(ALL)08/95]1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)08/95]
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.

Terrain
*
[AS35700(ALL)08/95]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS35900(ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal”bends“around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
”shadow“of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS36000(ALL)08/95]
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.
*
[AS36100(ALL)08/95]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has
been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically
switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload.This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS36400(ALL)08/95]
When several broadcast towers are present (common in
metropolitan areas) several stations may overload the receiver,
resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.

Choosing the Right Fuel
*
[SV07600(ALL)06/95]
Use only UNLEADED FUEL in your vehicle. Using leaded fuel
is prohibited by federal law. Your warranty may not apply if
your vehicle is damaged because you used the wrong fuel.
*
[SV07650(ALL)08/95]
Vehicle inspection programs may detect misfueling. Under these
circumstances, you may be required by law to make costly
repairs at your own expense.

[SV07700(ALL)05/95]
Octane Recommendations
*
[SV07750(ALL)06/95]
Your vehicle is designed to use regular fuel with an octane
rating of 87. In most cases it is not necessary to use a fuel with
an octane rating higher than 87. At service stations, the octane
rating is displayed in a label on the pumps.
*
[SV07775(ALL)06/95]

Typical octane rating label
*
[SV07800(ALL)07/95]
In some parts of the country, ªregularº grade fuels are sold
with octane ratings of 86 or even less, especially in high altitude
areas. We recommend that you do not use these fuels. Always
use a fuel with an octane rating of 87, even if it is sold as a
ªmidgradeº or ªpremium.º
*
[SV07850(ALL)04/95]
Do not be concerned if your vehicle sometimes knocks lightly
when you drive up a hill or when you accelerate. However, if a
fuel with the recommended octane rating knocks heavily under
all driving conditions or knocks lightly driving at cruising speed
on level roads, see your dealer or a qualified service technician.
Persistent, heavy knocking can damage the engine.

Engine Oil Recommendations
*
[SV13610(ALL)10/95]
We recommend using Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil
meeting Ford Specification WSS-M2C193-F and displaying the
American Petroleum Institute CERTIFICATION MARK on the
front of the container.

Engine oils with anSAE 5W-30viscosity arePREFERREDfor
your vehicle. They provide the best engine performance, fuel
economy and engine protection for all climates down to-15ÊF
(-25ÊC).
%*
[SV13725(ALL)03/95]
Synthetic engine oils which are CERTIFIED and of the preferred
viscosity may be used in your engine. The engine oil and oil
filter must still be changed according to the maintenance
schedule.
