WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

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.

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

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.

Instrumentation

Air bag readiness

The supplementary restraint system includes the air bags and seat belt buckle pretensioners. The warning momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON

position. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

Seat belt

Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to remind you to fasten your seat belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position to indicate a system check. Also illuminates if the parking brake is

engaged. If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (If equipped)

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position ABS to ensure the circuit is functional. If

the light does not illuminate momentarily at start up, remains on

or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

Turn signal

Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If one or both of the

indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out turn signal bulb. Refer to Bulbs in the Maintenance and care chapter.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on.

Low washer fluid (if equipped)

Charging system

Illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position and the

engine is off. The light also

illuminates when the battery is not charging properly, requiring electrical system service.

Four wheel drive low

Momentarily illuminates after the engine is STARTED. Illuminates when four-wheel drive low is engaged. If the light continues to flash have the system serviced.

Four wheel drive high

Illuminates when four-wheel drive is put in high range. If the light continues to flash have the system serviced.

Instrumentation

O/D off (if equipped)

Illuminates when the transmission control switch (TCS) has been pushed turning the transmission overdrive function OFF. When the

light is on, the transmission does not operate in the overdrive mode, refer to the Driving chapter for transmission function and operation.

The light may also flash steadily if a transmission malfunction is detected. If the light does not come on when the transmission control switch is depressed or if the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could occur.

Cruise control

This light comes on when the vehicle cruise control is engaged and actively controlling the vehicle speed. It turns off when the cruise control OFF or CANCEL controls are pressed or the brake is applied.

Seat belt warning chime

Sounds to remind you to fasten your seat belts.

BeltMinder chime

Sounds intermittently to remind you to fasten your seat belts.

For information on the seat belt minder chime, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning chime

Sounds when a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system (front or side airbags) has been detected. Have the supplemental restraint system inspected immediately.

Headlamps on warning chime

Sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the key is removed from the ignition and the driver’s door is opened.

Instrumentation

GAUGES

4X4 LOW

4X4 HIGH

Speedometer

Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the indicated area between the ªHº and ªCº). 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 care chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot.

Instrumentation

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.

Odometer

Registers the total kilometers (miles) of the vehicle.

Refer to Electronic Message Center for information on how to switch the display from metric to English measurements.

Trip odometer

Registers the kilometers (miles) of individual journeys.

To reset, depress the control.

Refer to Electronic Message Center for information on how to switch the display.

Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute.

Driving with your tachometer pointer in the red zone may damage the engine.

Instrumentation

Battery voltage gauge

Indicates battery voltage. If the pointer moves and stays outside the normal operating range, have the vehicle’s electrical system checked as soon as possible.

Engine oil pressure gauge

Indicates the engine oil pressure when the engine is operating.

If the gauge indicates zero or very low oil pressure

(needle drops below ªLº) stop the vehicle and engine as soon as safe to do so and check the engine oil level.

If the engine oil level is below the ªMINº marking on the dipstick, add oil (refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance and care chapter). If the engine level is above the ªaddº marking, do not restart the engine but have it checked by an Authorized Ford Dealer.

After running, the engine may be hot. Allow the engine to cool before handling any components.

Instrumentation

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much

fuel is in the fuel tank (when the key is in the ON position). The fuel

gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade. The ignition should be in the OFF

position while the vehicle is being refueled. When the gauge first indicates empty, there is a small

amount of reserve fuel in the tank.

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.

MESSAGE CENTER

With the ignition in the ON position, the message center, located on your

instrument cluster, displays

important vehicle information through a constant monitor of vehicle systems. You may select

display features on the message center for a display of status preceded by a brief indicator chime. The system will also notify you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings followed by a long indicator chime.

Compass display

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. 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 to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.

Instrumentation

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 to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.

Compass zone/calibration adjustment

²To turn autolamps on, rotate the control counterclockwise.

²To turn autolamps off, rotate the control clockwise to OFF.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when R (Reverse) is selected. The RSS will assist the driver in detecting certain objects while:

²the vehicle is moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or less.

²the vehicle is in R (Reverse) but not moving backward (the brake pedal is depressed or the parking brake is applied), and a moving object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or less.

²the vehicle is moving in reverse at a speed of less than 5 km/h

(3 mph) and a moving object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of less than 5 km/h (3 mph)

The RSS is not effective at speeds greater than 5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.

Controls and features

To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the limitations of the reverse sensing system as contained in this section. Reverse sensing is only an aid for some (generally large and

fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at ªparking speedsº. Inclement weather may also affect the function of the RSS; this may include reduced performance or a false activation.

To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in R (Reverse) and when using the RSS.

This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to

assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to the ground.

The RSS detects obstacles within approximately 1.8 meters (5.9 ft.) of the rear bumper with a decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper, (refer to the figures for approximate zone coverage areas). As you move closer to the obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 25.0 cm

(10 in.), the tone will sound continuously. If the system detects a stationary or receding object further than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the side of the vehicle, the tone will sound for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the tone will sound again.

Controls and features

The RSS is automatically enabled when the gear selector is placed in R (Reverse) and the ignition is ON. The RSS control allows the driver to disable the RSS only when the ignition is ON, and the gear selector is in R (Reverse).

The OFF indicator remains illuminated when the system is

disabled. The system defaults to ON every time R (Reverse) is selected. Press the control to disable or enable the system.

The indicator will remain illuminated to indicate a failure of the RSS.

Always keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free from dirt, snow and ice (do not clean the sensors with sharp objects). These elements may cause the system to operate inaccurately.

If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.

Operating tips

²In humid weather, place the climate control system in before driving. This will reduce fogging of the windshield. Once the windshield has cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.

²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather

conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF or position.

²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.

²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control

system should be left in any position other than OFF or when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº through the outside air inlet duct.

²Under 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.

²If 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 ªaired outº, operate the climate control system as desired.

²Do not place objects under the front seat that may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats.

²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the base of the windshield and underneath the hood).

²Do 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 your instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.

You will be provided with a keycode card when you take delivery of your vehicle. Keep the card in a safe place, but not inside your vehicle.

If you lose the keycode, contact your Ford Dealer and supply details of your audio unit along with some proof of identity.

To enter a keycode

If you turn on the audio unit and CODE flashes in the display, you must enter a keycode before the unit is operational.

Use the station preset controls to enter your keycode.

1. Press the 1 memory preset control until the correct first digit of the keycode is shown in the display.

2. Press the preset controls 2, 3 and

4 in the same way for the remaining digits until the complete correct keycode is shown.

3. Press the preset control 5 to

enter the keycode. The audio unit will then operate.

If an incorrect number is entered

Ford audio units accept up to TEN keycode entry attempts. A numeral in the display shows the number of attempts made.

If an incorrect number is entered, the display reverts to CODE and another entry attempt may be made.

² If WAIT 30 appears, wait until the time counts down to zero. When CODE is displayed again, try to enter the keycode.

² If LOCK 10 appears, the unit is permanently inoperative. Contact your local Ford dealer for help and advice.

Volume/power control

Press the control to turn the audio system on or off.

Turn the control to raise or lower volume.

This control can also operate the audio system for up to one hour with the ignition turned off. The audio system will automatically turn off after one hour.

Refer to Audio distortion reduction (CLIP) later in this section.
