1999 FORD EXPEDITION trip computer

Battery voltage gauge
This gauge shows the battery
voltage when the ignition is in the
ON position. If the pointer moves
and stays outside the normal
operating range (as indicated), have
the vehicle's electrical system
checked as soon as possible.
Engine oil pressure gauge
This shows the engine oil pressure
in the system. Sufficient pressure
exists as long as the needle remains
in the normal range (the area
between the ªLº and ªHº).
If the gauge indicates low pressure,
stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible and switch off the engine
immediately. Check the oil level.
Add oil if needed (refer toEngine oilin theMaintenance and care
chapter). If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your
dealership or by a qualified technician.
TRIP COMPUTER
The trip computer tells you about the condition of your vehicle through
a constant monitor of vehicle systems. You may select display features on
the trip computer for a display of status.
The appearance of your vehicle's trip computer may differ depending on
your vehicle's option package, but the functions are the same.
The trip computer only works when the ignition is in the ON position.

Fuel range.This displays the
approximate number of kilometers
(miles) left to drive before the fuel
tank is empty. The indicated distance to empty may be inaccurate:
²with sustained, drastic changes in fuel economy (such as trailer
towing), but will eventually recover.
²if the vehicle is started while parked on an incline.
²if less than 27 liters (6 gallons) of fuel is added to the fuel tank.
The fuel range function will flash for 5 seconds when you have
approximately the following distance you can drive before the fuel tank
is empty:
²80 km (50 miles)
²40 km (25 miles)
²16 km (10 miles)

Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of fan
speed (
) if automatic fan speed is not desired.
To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 18ÉC
(65ÉF) and 29ÉC (85ÉF) by pressing
the blue (cooler) or red (warmer)
buttons.
For continuous maximum cooling, push the blue button until 16ÉC
(60ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
warmer temperature is selected by pressing the red button.
For continuous maximum heating, push the red button until 32ÉC (90ÉF)
is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue maximum
heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a cooler
temperature is selected by pressing the blue button.
Temperature conversion
Press MAX A/C and DEFat the
same time (for one second) to
switch between Fahrenheit and
Celsius.
The English/Metric (E/M) control on
the trip computer and message center (if equipped) will not change

Trip computer
For information on the trip computer, refer toTrip computerin the
Instrumentationchapter.
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas.
Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also
affect compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone adjustment.

Compass zone adjustment
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.
2. Locate the compass module
mounted at the base of the mirror.
3. Turn ignition to the ON position.
4. Insert an appropriate diameter
rod (paperclip) into the small hole
underneath the compass module
and gently press the switch for 1 to
2 seconds until ZONE and the
current zone setting is displayed on
the trip computer.
5. Release the switch, then slowly press down again. Press the switch
repeatedly until the correct zone setting for your geographic location is
displayed on the trip computer.
6. To exit the zone setting mode, release pressure from the switch for
greater than two seconds.

Compass calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.
For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air
conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Locate the compass module
mounted on the base of the mirror.
3. Insert an appropriate diameter
rod (paperclip) into the switch
access hole underneath the compass
module.
4. Gently press the switch for 2 to 4
seconds until CAL and a direction
are displayed on the trip computer.
(To exit CAL mode before
performing a compass adjustment, turn the ignition OFF.)
5. Release pressure from the switch.
6. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) until
the CAL indicator turns off. This will take three to five circles to
complete calibration.
7. The compass is now calibrated.
