Safety Belt Extension Assembly
[SS10100(ALL)02/96]
A safety belt that is too short even when fully
extended can be lengthened. You can add about
eight inches (20 cm) to the belt length with a
safety belt extension assembly. Safety belt
extensions are available at no cost from your
dealer.
*
[SS10200(ALL)01/96]
Use only extensions manufactured by the same
supplier as the safety belt. Manufacturer
identification is located at the end of the
webbing on the label. Also, use the safety belt
extension only if the safety belt is too short for
you when fully extended. Do not use extension
to change the fit of the shoulder belt across the
torso.

Driving
[GF05600(ALL)01/96]
When to use Overdrive (D with Overdrive
activated)
[GF05700(ALL)01/96]
Overdrive is the usual driving position for an
automatic overdrive transaxle. It works the same
way Drive (Overdrive OFF) works, automatically
upshifting or downshifting as the vehicle speeds
or slows.
[GF05800(ALL)01/96]
However, Overdrive also shifts into a fourth
gear Ðan overdrive gear Ð when your vehicle
cruises at a consistent speed for any length of
time. This fourth gear will increase your fuel
economy when you travel at cruising speeds.
[GF05850(ALL)05/96]
Cancelling Overdrive
[GF05900(ALL)05/96]
Overdrive may not be appropriate for certain
terrain. If the transaxle shifts back and forth
between third and fourth gears while you are
driving on hilly roads, select Drive (Overdrive
OFF) by cancelling Overdrive as outlined below.
[GF06100(ALL)01/96]
The Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) button is located
on the gearshift. The Overdrive Off (O/D OFF)
light is located in the instrument cluster.
[GF06200(ALL)01/96]
The O/D OFF light is not illuminated during
normal vehicle operation. This allows the
transaxle to upshift and downshift from 1st
through 4th gears. When the O/D OFF button is
pressed, Overdrive is cancelled and the O/D
OFF light in the instrument cluster illuminates.
When the O/D OFF light is illuminated, the
transaxle will upshift and downshift from 1st
through 3rd gears.

Mediation/Arbitration Program
(Canada Only)
*
[HS06393(ALL)05/96]
In those cases where you continue to feel that
the efforts by Ford and the dealer to resolve a
factory-related vehicle service concern have been
unsatisfactory, Ford of Canada participates in an
impartial third party mediation/arbitration
program administered by the Canadian Motor
Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
*
[HS06394(ALL)05/96]
The CAMVAP program is a straight-forward and
relatively speedy alternative to resolve a
disagreement when all other efforts to produce a
settlement have failed. This procedure is without
cost to you and is designed to eliminate the
need for lengthy and expensive legal
proceedings.
*
[HS06395(ALL)05/96]
In the CAMVAP program, impartial third-party
Arbitrators conduct hearings at mutually
convenient times and places in an informal
environment. These impartial Arbitrators review
the positions of the parties, make decisions and,
where appropriate, render awards to resolve
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair and
final as the arbitrator's award is binding on both
you and Ford of Canada.
*
[HS06396(ALL)05/96]
CAMVAP services are available in all territories
and provinces, except Quebec. For more
information, without charge or obligation, call
your CAMVAP Provincial Administrator directly
at 1-800-207-0685.
*
[HS06397(ALL)08/95]
This plan is not available in the province of
Quebec.
