[ST10100(ALL)03/95]
If the engine cranks but does not start or does not start after a
collision, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been
triggered. The shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the
fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial
jolt.

[ST10200(ALL)03/95]
Once the shut-off switch is triggered, you must reset the switch
by hand before you can start your vehicle.

The fuel pump shut-off switch reset button is located behind the
jack access cover under the jack in the cargo compartment.

Warning Lights and Gauges
101
[LG18175(ALL)03/94]
Your distance to empty may change faster or slower than actual
distance traveled because your fuel economy varies with
changing driving conditions.
[LG18250(ALL)11/93]
The fuel computer will automatically warn you when your
distance to empty is low. When your distance to empty reaches
50 miles (80 km), 25 miles (40 km) and 10 miles (20 km), the
fuel computer will automatically select DISTANCE TO EMPTY,
flash the number for five seconds, and sound a one second
chime.
[LG18275(ALL)10/93]
If the Distance to Empty function displays CO or CS, you must
have the fuel indication system serviced.
[LG18300(ALL)03/94]
Turn your ignition to OFF while fueling to obtain an accurate
distance to empty reading. If you do not turn your ignition off,
the fuel computer will not display the new distance to empty
immediately, but will slowly increase to the correct value.
[LG18301(ALL)10/93]
AVERAGE SPEED
[LG18350(ALL)03/94]
Your average speed is the average speed your vehicle has
traveled while the ignition was ON since the last reset. To
display your average speed, press SELECT until the pointer is at
AVERAGE SPEED. Press the RESET button when AVERAGE
SPEED is selected to reset the average speed. You may want to
use this feature to see what your average speed is during daily
driving or on a long trip.

Servicing Your Windstar
361
*
[SV44235(ALL)05/95]
Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement
parts. If other than Ford or Motorcraft parts or Ford authorized
remanufactured parts are used for maintenance replacements or
for the service of components affecting emission control, such
non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor
Company parts in performance and durability. It is the owner's
responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please
consult your warranty booklet for complete warranty
information.
*
[SV44250(ALL)02/92]
Never use a metal exhaust collector when you service your
vehicle. If the metal collector contacts any of your vehicle's
plastic trim or bumper parts they could melt or deform.
*
[SV44300(ALL)01/95]
Do not drive your vehicle if it does not operate properly. See
your dealer if the engine runs on for more than five seconds
after you shut it off or if it misfires, surges, stalls, or backfires.
*
[SV44400(ALL)11/93]
Information about your vehicle's emissions control system is on
the Vehicle Emission Control Information decal located on or
near the engine. This decal identifies engine displacement and
gives some tune-up specifications.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance Testing
*
[SV44460(ALL)05/95]
In some localities it may become a legal requirement to pass an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) II system. If the vehicle's powertrain system or its battery
has just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to a not ready
for I/M testing condition. To prepare for I/M testing, the law
specifies a ªneed for additional mixed city and highway driving
to complete the checkº of the OBD II system. As soon as all of
the OBD II system checks are successfully completed, the OBD
II system is set to the ready condition. The amount of driving
required to reach the ready condition varies with individual
driving patterns. To complete this requirement in the minimum
amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle defined below.
If the vehicle owner cannot or does not want to do the
additional driving required by law, a service center can perform
this drive cycle as it would any other type of repair work.
