[CF07400(ALL)01/96]
When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather,
place the automatic transaxle gearshift selector lever in Park (P)
or in Neutral (N). This aids in engine cooling and air
conditioner efficiency. (If the engine overheats, turn the
Function Selector Knob toQ(PANEL) and turn the
Temperature Control Knob to WARM.)
*
[CF07500(ALL)01/96]
When your vehicle's engine is operated at full throttle, the air
conditioner compressor will automatically be turned off to allow
maximum engine power. This may occur during passing or
when climbing steep grades. The compressor will return to
normal operation within a few seconds after full throttle is no
longer needed.
[CF07600(ALL)01/96]
NOTE: The compressor will not operate when the outside
temperature is less than about45ÊF (7ÊC).
% [CF07700(ALL)01/96]
Rear Climate Control System (If equipped)
[CF07800(ALL)01/96]
If your vehicle is equipped with a rear climate control system,
the rear seat occupants can select their own personal fan speed
settings.
[CF07900(ALL)01/96]
The rear seat climate control system is controlled from the main
climate control system on the instrument panel. If the rear
passenger compartment climate control knob in the front climate
control panel is set in OFF, the fan in the rear seat climate
control system will also be off. If the knob is set in any of the
fan speed positions (Medium Low, Medium High, or High), air
will be discharged from the rear seat vents at the corresponding
speed. However, when the knob is set at REAR CTRL, rear seat
passengers can control their own fan speed.

your set speed while driving in
j(Overdrive) on a
downhill grade, you may want to downshift to Third
(3) gear to reduce vehicle speed. To do this, push the
Overdrive ON/OFF button on the end of the gearshift
lever. The OVERDRIVE OFF lamp will illuminate
when you press the switch.
[CF24400(ALL)01/96]
You may want to drive in 3 (Third) when driving in hilly
terrain, at high altitudes, or when pulling a trailer. This will
improve speed control performance.
[CF24500(ALL)04/96]
NOTE: When driving uphill, especially with a heavy load,
you may notice your speed decreasing even if you
have the speed control set. If the speed drops more
than 8 to 14 mph (13-23 km/h) it is normal for the
automatic speed control feature to be cancelled. You
may need to use the accelerator pedal to help your
vehicle maintain the selected speed when driving up
steep grades.
*
[CF24600(ALL)05/96]
RWARNING
Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, slippery, or unpaved.

Accelerating With the Speed Control On
[CF24800(ALL)01/96]
If you want to speed up momentarily, or regain preset speed on
hills when the speed control is on, accelerate using the
accelerator pedal. Manually accelerating to a higher speed does
not interfere with the speed control. When you take your foot
off the accelerator, your vehicle returns to the set speed.

The keyless system registers this second code. To open your
vehicle, you can now use either code. The module
remembers only one personal code at a time. Entering a
second personal code will erase the first and replace it with
the new code.

Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order,
such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who
idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button five times.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.

You must unlock the driver's door before you unlock any of the
other doors. If you let more than five seconds pass between

Safety Seats for Children
*
[SS28200(ALL)01/96]
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight
of the child. Always follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions when installing and using the safety seat.
*
[SS28300(ALL)01/96]
Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top
tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position
which is capable of providing a tether anchorage. For more
information on top tether straps seeAttaching Safety Seats With
Tether Strapsin this chapter.
*
[SS28400(ALL)05/96]
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct
safety belt buckle for that seating position, and make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. For a shoulder/lap
belt combination with a sliding tongue, make sure the retractor
is in the automatic locking mode.
[SS28500(ALL)04/96]
In rear-facing infant seats, the infant's head is closer to the
passenger air bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag
could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle
seatback. REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child seats and
infant seats should be secured in the rear seat whenever
possible. Forward-facing child seats used in the front seat must
have the passenger seat moved as far back from the instrument
panel as possible.
*
[SS28600(ALL)05/96]
Your vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger air bag.
Air bags deploy with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
Front passengers, especially children and small adults, must
never sit on the front edge of the seat, stand near the glove
compartment of the instrument panel, or lean over near the air
bag cover when the vehicle is moving. All occupants should sit
with their backs against the seatback, move the seat to the most
rearward position if possible and use the safety belts. Children
weighing less than 40 lbs. (18 kg) always should use child or
infant seats.
