*[IN01300( ALL)04/95] This guide describes equipment and gives

%*[IN02000( ALL)04/95] Canadian Owners — French Version

*[IN02100( ALL)04/95] French Owner Guides can be obtained from your

dealer or by writing to Ford Motor Company of

Canada, Limited, Service Publications, P.O. Box

1580, Station B, Mississauga, Ontario L4Y 4G3.

*[IN02400( ALL)04/95] Your Maintenance Schedule and

warranties: Basic Vehicle Warranty, Extended

Warranties on certain parts, and Emissions

Warranties.

%*[IN03100( ALL)03/95] Read your Warranty Information Booklet carefully

to find out about your vehicle’s warranties and

your basic rights and responsibilities.

File:rcinc.ex

Update:Mon Jun 12 16:51:59 1995

*[IN03250( ALL)03/95] If you lose your Warranty Information Booklet, you

can get a new one free of charge. Contact any

Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer, or refer to the

addresses and phone numbers on the first page

of this owner guide.

%*[IN04000( ALL)01/95] Buying a Ford Extended Service Plan

*[IN04100( ALL)01/94] If you bought your vehicle in the U.S., you can

buy a Ford Extended Service Plan for your

vehicle. This optional contract provides service

protection for a longer period of time than the

basic warranty that comes with your vehicle.

*[IN04200( ALL)01/95] You do not have to buy this option when you

buy your vehicle. However, your option to

purchase the Ford Extended Service Plan runs

out after 18 months or 18,000 miles. See your

dealer for more details about the Ford Extended

Service Plan.

*[IN04250( ALL)01/95] If you purchased a Canadian vehicle and did not

take advantage of the Ford Extended Service

Plan at the time of purchase, you may still be

eligible. See your dealer for the details.

%*[IN06000( ALL)01/95] Breaking Your Vehicle In

*[IN06100( ALL)03/95] Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or

break-in period during the first 1,000 miles

(1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in

period, you need to pay careful attention to how

you drive your vehicle.

%*[IN06300( ALL)01/95] ❑Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle

has new brake linings, you should take these

steps:

*[IN06400( ALL)01/95] — Watch traffic carefully so that you can

anticipate when to stop.

*[IN06500( ALL)01/95] — Begin braking well in advance.

*[IN06600( ALL)01/95] — Apply the brakes gradually.

File:rcinc.ex

Update:Mon Jun 12 16:51:59 1995

*[IN06700( ALL)01/95] The break-in period for new brake linings

lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving or

1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway driving.

%*[IN06800( ALL)01/95] ❑Use only the type of engine oil that Ford

recommends. See Engine oil recommendations

in the Index. Do not use special “break-in”

oils.

*[IN07000( ALL)04/95] Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic

Powertrain Control Module that limits engine

and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out mode to

promote durability.

%*[IN07100( ALL)04/95] Cleaning the Outside of Your

Vehicle

*[IN07130( ALL)05/95] Pollen, bird droppings and tree sap can damage

the paint, especially in hot weather. Wash your

vehicle as often as necessary to keep it clean.

*[IN07160( ALL)05/95] Take similar precautions if your vehicle is

exposed to chemical industrial fallout.

*[IN07190( MVBCG )05/95] Paint damage resulting from fallout is not

related to a defect in paint materials or

workmanship and therefore is not covered by

warranty. Ford, however, believes that continual

improvement in customer satisfaction is a high

priority. For this reason, Ford has authorized its

dealers to repair, at no charge to the owner, the

surfaces of new vehicles damaged by

environmental fallout within 12 months or 12,000

miles (20,000 km) of purchase, whichever comes

first. Customers may be required to bring their

vehicle in for inspection by a Ford

representative.

Safety Restraints

%*[SR00500( ALL)04/95] Important Safety Belt Information

*[SR00600( ALL)03/95] The use of safety belts helps to restrain you and

your passengers in case of a collision. In most

states and in Canada the law requires their use.

*[SR00800( ALL)01/95] Safety belts provide best restraint when:

*[SR00900( ALL)01/95] ❑the seatback is upright

*[SR01000( ALL)01/95] ❑the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)

*[SR01100( ALL)01/95] ❑the lap belt is snug and low on the hips

*[SR01200( ALL)01/95] ❑the shoulder belt is snug against the chest

*[SR01300( ALL)01/95] ❑the knees are straight forward

*[SR02100( ALL)05/95] To help you remember to fasten your safety belt,

a warning light may come on and a chime may

sound. See Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime in

the Warning Lights and Gauges chapter.

*[SR02500( ALL)01/95] See the following sections in this chapter for

directions on how to properly use these safety

belts. Also see Safety Restraints for Children in this

chapter for special instructions about using

safety belts for children.

%*[SR02600( ALL)05/95] RWARNING

Make sure that you and your passengers

wear safety belts. Always drive and ride

with your seatback upright and the lap

belt snug and low across the hips.

File:rcsrc.ex

Update:Mon Jun 12 16:51:53 1995

*[SR02700( ALL)03/95] RWARNING

Never wear the shoulder belt under the

arm. Never swing it around the neck over

the inside shoulder. Never use a single

belt for more than one person or across

more than one seating position. Each

seating position in your vehicle has a

specific safety belt assembly which is

made up of one buckle and one tongue

that are designed to be used as a pair.

Failure to follow these precautions could

increase the risk and/or severity of injury

in a collision.

*[SR02801( ALL)05/95] RWARNING

Ford recommends that all safety belt

assemblies and attaching hardware should

be inspected by a qualified technician

after any collision. Safety belt assemblies

not in use during a collision should also

be inspected and replaced if either

damage or improper operation is noted.

*[SR02901( ALL)05/95] RWARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury in a

collision, children should always ride with

the seatback upright.

*[SR03001( ALL)05/95] RWARNING

Never let a passenger hold a child on his

or her lap while the vehicle is moving.

The passenger cannot protect the child

from injury in a collision.

*[SR03200( ALL)05/95] Lock the doors of your vehicle before driving to

lessen the risk of the door coming open in a

collision.

[SR03700( ALL)05/95] Combination Lap and Shoulder

Belts

*[SR03800( ALL)01/95] While your vehicle is in motion, the combination

lap and shoulder belt adjusts to your movement.

However, if you brake hard, corner hard or if

your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph

(8 km/h) or more, the lap and shoulder belt

locks and helps reduce your forward movement.

*[SR04100( ALL)05/95] After you get into your vehicle, close the door

and lock it. Then adjust the seat to the position

that suits you best.

[SR04400( ALL)06/93] To fasten the belt, pull the lap/shoulder belt

from the retractor so that the shoulder portion of

the belt crosses your shoulder and chest. Be sure

the belt is not twisted. If it is, remove the twist.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle

until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make

sure the tongue is securely fastened in the

buckle.

% [SR04677( BC )05/95] Safety Belts for the Front Passenger

Outboard Seating Positions

[SR04680( BC )03/95] Your vehicle is equipped with a dual locking

mode retractor on the shoulder belt portion of

the combination lap/shoulder safety belt for

front seat passengers and a locking “cinch

tongue” for rear outboard passengers.

*[SR04682( ALL)05/95] Dual locking mode retractors operate in two

ways:

*[SR04683( ALL)03/95]

Vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode

[SR04684( ALL)03/95] In this operating mode, the shoulder belt

retractor will allow the occupant freedom of

movement, locking tight only on hard braking,

hard cornering or impacts of approximately

5 mph (8 km/h) or more. The retractor can also

be made to lock by pulling/jerking on the belt.

%*[SR04685( ALL)04/95]

Automatic locking mode

[SR04686( ALL)03/95] In this operating mode, the shoulder belt

retractor will be automatically locked and remain

locked when the combination lap/shoulder
