of this owner guide.

*[IN03700(ALL)04/95] Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic

%*[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.

File:02ctinr.ex

Update:Thu Sep 21 14:11:14 1995

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

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

*[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.

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

Vehicle

%*[IN07200(ALL)04/95] Washing and Polishing Your Vehicle

*[IN07300(ALL)04/95] Wash the outside of your vehicle, including the

underside, with a mild detergent.

*[IN07600(ALL)04/95] ❑Wash your vehicle while it sits in direct

sunlight

*[IN07700(ALL)04/95] ❑Wash your vehicle while the body is hot

*[IN07800(ALL)07/95] 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.

*[IN07900(ALL)07/95] Take similar precautions if your vehicle is

exposed to chemical industrial fallout.

*[IN08000(ALL)07/95] 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

File:02ctinr.ex

Update:Thu Sep 21 14:11:14 1995

environmental fallout within 12 months or 12,000

first. Customers may be required to bring their

vehicle in for inspection by a Ford

representative.

and protect the finish.

%*[IN08200(ALL)04/95] Cleaning Chrome and Aluminum Parts

detergent. Do not use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, fuel, or strong detergents.

%*[IN08400(ALL)04/95] Cleaning Plastic Parts

*[IN08500(ALL)04/95] Some of your vehicle’s exterior trim parts are

plastic. Clean with a tar and road oil remover if

necessary. Use a vinyl cleaner for routine

cleaning.

or petroleum-based cleaners.

%*[IN08700(ALL)04/95] If you have your vehicle rustproofed, remove

oversprayed rustproofing with a tar and road oil

remover. If rustproofing is not removed from

plastic and rubber parts, it can cause

deterioration.

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.

*[SR00700(ALL)08/95] Safety belts provide best restraint when:

*[SR00800(ALL)08/95] ❑the seatback is upright

*[SR00900(ALL)08/95] ❑the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)

*[SR01000(ALL)08/95] ❑the lap belt is snug and low on the hips

*[SR01100(ALL)08/95] ❑the shoulder belt is snug against the chest

*[SR01200(ALL)08/95] ❑the knees are straight forward

[SR01300(ALL)06/95] 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/chime in the

Warning Lights and Gauges chapter.

*[SR01400(ALL)07/95] 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.

%*[SR02000(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.
