WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
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.
Service engine soon
Illuminates briefly to ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing.
Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.
If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
10
Page 11
Instrument Cluster
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
Check fuel cap (if equipped)
Illuminates when the fuel cap is not installed correctly. Check the fuel cap for proper installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, or a mis-installed fuel cap can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine warning light.
It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap.
For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.
Check gage
Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high, the engine oil pressure is low or the fuel gauge is at or near empty. Refer to Engine coolant temperature gauge, Engine oil pressure gauge or Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information.
Brake system warning
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON position to START position, the light will momentarily illuminate prior to reaching the START
CHECK
GAGE
11

position). It also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate as described, seek service immediately. Illumination after the parking brake is released indicates low brake fluid level or a brake system malfunction and the brake system should be serviced immediately by a qualified technician.
Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
To confirm the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light is functional it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON position to the START position, the light will momentarily illuminate just prior to reaching the START position). If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the ABS serviced immediately. If the ABS light remains on, it means the anti-lock brake system has malfunctioned and is disabled, however, the normal brake system will still function unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated and parking brake is off. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.
Safety belt
Illuminates to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.
ABS
Air bag readiness
Illuminates to confirm that the air bags (front or side) are operational. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.
Charging system
Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.
12
Page 13
Instrument Cluster
Low fuel
Illuminates when the fuel level in the fuel tank is at, or near, empty (refer to Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information).
Speed control
Illuminates when the speed control is activated.
Transmission control indicator light (TCIL)
Illuminates when the overdrive function of the transmission has been turned OFF using the Transmission Control Switch (TCS). Refer to the Driving chapter for transmission function and operation.
If the light does not come on or if the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.
OVERDRIVE
Turn signals
Illuminates when the turn signals or the hazard lights are turned on. If the lights stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out bulb.
High beams
Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on.
13

Instrument Cluster
Door ajar
Illuminates when any door is open (or not fully closed).
SecuriLockanti-theft system
Illuminates when the anti-theft alarm system is armed. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced.
Refer to SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system in the Locks and Security chapter.
Four wheel drive indicator
Illuminates when the four-wheel drive is engaged. If the light continues to flash have the system serviced.

GAUGES
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area between the “H” and “C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine
coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling system can burn you badly.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate.
15
Page 16
Instrument Cluster
Engine oil pressure gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (the area between the “L” and “H”); if the needle goes below the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level. Add oil if needed (refer to
Engine oil in the Maintenance and specifications chapter). If the
oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.
Transmission fluid temperature gauge
If the gauge is in the:
White area (normal) - the transmission fluid is within the normal operating temperature (between “H” and “C”).
Yellow area (warning) — the transmission fluid is higher than normal operating temperature. This can be caused by special operation conditions (i.e. towing or off road use). Refer to Special Operating Conditions in the scheduled maintenance guide for instructions. Operating the transmission for extended periods of time with the gauge in the yellow area may cause internal transmission damage.
Altering the severity of the driving conditions is recommended to lower the transmission temperature into the normal range.
16
Page 17
Instrument Cluster
Red area (over temperature) — the transmission fluid is overheating. Stop the vehicle to allow the temperature to return to normal range.
If the gauge is operating in the Yellow or Red area, stop the vehicle and verify the airflow is not restricted such as snow or debris blocking airflow through the grill. If the gauge continues to show high temperatures, see your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade.
When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
The FUEL DOOR icon and arrow indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

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 peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your dealer for further information.
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER (IF EQUIPPED)
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.

CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or
extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not
being played.
RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.
Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.
AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTIES AND SERVICE
Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or a qualified technician.

Operating tips
In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in Defrost mode before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.
58
Page 59
Climate Controls
Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than the MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.
Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from contamination of outside pollutants.
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate control system as desired.
Do not put objects under the front seat which may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce visibility through your windshield. Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition to, damaging the climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select the position that distributes air through the Panel and Floor.
2. Set the temperature control to full heat.
3. Set the fan speed to full fan.
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows.
5. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel
vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

HOMELINKUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver’s visor, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver to a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
E/M
RESET
Do not use the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomelinkUniversal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to Programming in this section.

Programming
Do not program the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLink.Itis also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkfor quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not repeat step one to program additional hand-held transmitters to the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons. This will erase previously programmed hand-held transmitter signals into HomeLink威.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 5–14 cm (1–3 inches) away from the HomeLink Universal Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinkand hand-held transmitter button. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” section for Canadian residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLinkbutton is pressed and released. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons, begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section — do not repeat step 1. If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
98
Page 99
Driver Controls
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLinkbutton. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming.
HomeLinkshould now activate your rolling code equipped device. To program additional HomeLinkbuttons begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com. or 1–800–355–3515.
Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting — not allowing enough time for HomeLinkto accept the signal from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2 outlined in the “Programming” section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent overheating.
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button (note step 3 in the “Programming” section) while you press and release — every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been accepted by the HomeLink. The red indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLinkaccepts the radio frequency signal.
Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming” section.
