More Protection for Your Vehicle
*
[II04120(R)05/96]
You can get more protection for your new car or light truck by
purchasing a Ford Extended Service Plan (Ford ESP). Ford ESP
is the only extended service program with the Ford name on it
and the only service contract backed by Ford Motor Company.
*
[II04140(R)05/96]
Ford ESP is an optional service contract, backed and
administered by Ford. It provides:
*
[II04160(R)05/96]
n
protection against repair costs after your Bumper to Bumper
Warranty expires;
*
[II04180(R)05/96]
and
*
[II04200(R)05/96]
n
other benefits during the warranty period (such as:
reimbursement for rentals; coverage for certain maintenance
and wear items).
*
[II04220(R)05/96]
You may purchase Ford ESP from any participating Ford Motor
Company dealer. There are several Ford ESP plans available in
various time-and-mileage combinations. Each plan can be
tailored to fit your own driving needs, including reimbursement
benefits for towing and rental. (In Hawaii, rules vary. See your
dealer for details.)
*
[II04240(R)05/96]
When you purchase Ford ESP, you receive peace-of-mind
protection throughout the United States and Canada, provided
by a network of more than 5,100 participating Ford Motor
Company dealers.
*
[II04260(R)05/96]
NOTE: Repairs performed outside the United States and
Canada are not eligible for ESP coverage.

Battery Voltage Gauge (Voltmeter)
*
[IS07900(R)04/96]
This gauge shows you the battery voltage when the ignition key
is in the ON position.
*
[IS08000(R)04/96]
If the battery is operating under cold weather conditions, the
pointer may indicate in the upper range of the NORMAL band
while the battery is charging. If you are running electrical
accessories with the engine off or idling at a low speed, or the
battery is not fully charged, the pointer may move toward the
lower end of the NORMAL band.
*
[IS08100(R)04/96]
If it stays outside the NORMAL band, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked as soon as it is safely possible.

Terrain
*
[AS30800(R)05/96]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS30810(R)05/96]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ºbendsª around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ºshadowª of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS30820(R)05/96]
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.
*
[AS30830(R)05/96]
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.
*
[AS30840(R)05/96]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS30850(R)05/96]
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.

[AS30860(R)05/96]
When several broadcast towers are present (common in
metropolitan areas), several stations may overload the receiver,
resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.
*
[AS30870(R)05/96]
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has
been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal
capture and overload.

All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS30890(R)05/96]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the
Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
establish the frequencies that AM and FM radio stations may
use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530,
540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9
MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
*
[AS30900(R)05/96]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area. This radio
will tune to each of these frequencies using manual tune and no
fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other
frequencies.
*
[AS30910(R)05/96]
Some FM radio stations advertise a ºrounded-offª frequency
which is not the frequency they actually broadcast on. For
example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7
MHz may call itself ºRadio 99ª even though 99.0 MHz is not an
allowable FM broadcast frequency.

[CF00355(R)03/96]
The interior lights will shut off after 25 seconds with all the
doors closed, or immediately when the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, or if the vehicle speed is above five MPH
(8 km/h). The interior lights will turn off after 40 minutes if
any of the doors are left open. Refer toBattery Saverin the
Featuressection for more details.

NOTE: The operating range of the remote entry system can
also be affected by weather conditions (such as very
cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle
(buildings, other vehicles, radio and TV towers, etc.).
Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.

The remote can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by
twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the remote. DO
NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE REMOTE APART.
When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive
(+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together.
