WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Base instrument cluster
Optional instrument cluster
Mach 1 instrument cluster
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious enough to cause
expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate
when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any
light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect radio
reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an
FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker
the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker
one and play while the weak station frequency is
displayed.
CD PLAYER CARE
All audios are CD changer compatible. See your
dealer for further details.
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
•Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an
approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center
out.
Don’t:
•Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for
extended periods of time.
•Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD
changer magazine.
•Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12 cm (4.75 in) audio compact discs
only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs
may not function correctly when used in Ford
CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a
scratch protection film attached, and CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not
be inserted into the CD player. The label may

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed
at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment
of your headlamps should be checked by a qualified
service technician.

7.6 meters (25 feet) from a vertical wall or screen
directly in front of it.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) Center height of lamp to ground
•(3) Twenty five feet
•(4) Horizontal
reference line
2. Measure the height
from the center of your
headlamp to the
ground and mark a 2.4
meter (8 foot)
horizontal reference
line on the vertical wall or screen at this height (a
piece of masking tape works well). The center of the
lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle on the headlamp
lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the
wall or screen and open the hood.
4. On the wall or
screen you will observe
a light pattern with flat
edges at the top of the
beam pattern. If the
flat edges are not at
the horizontal
reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted.
