Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the
ignition switch is ON.
For a proper fuel gauge indication after adding
fuel, the ignition switch should be in the OFF
position while the vehicle is being refueled.
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly while
the vehicle is in motion. This is the result of fuel
movement within the tank. An accurate reading
may be obtained with the vehicle on smooth,
level ground.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the NORMAL band as the engine coolant warms
up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate
within the NORMAL band under normal driving
conditions. Under certain driving conditions,
such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up
hills in hot weather, the pointer may move to
the top of the NORMAL band.
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves
above the NORMAL band, the engine is
overheating and continued operation may cause
engine damage.

If your engine overheats:
1.
Pull off the road as soon as it is safely
possible.
2.
Turn off the engine.
3.
Let the engine cool.
DO NOT REMOVE
COOLANT SYSTEM FILL CAP UNTIL
THE ENGINE IS COOL.
4.
Check the coolant level following the
instructions on checking and adding coolant
to your engine. Refer to
Engine coolant
in the
Index. If you do not follow these
instructions, you or others could be injured.

Speedometer
The speedometer tells you how many miles
(kilometers) per hour your vehicle is moving.
Your vehicle contains a speedometer which
receives its input from the Anti-Lock brake
sensor. The speedometer is also used to provide
a speed signal for correct operation of the
vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM),
electronic transmission, and speed control (if so
equipped). Because of this, it is very
IMPORTANT to change the speedometer’s
internal conversion constant if the size of the
tires on the vehicle is changed. Changing the
conversion constant to the proper value when
19
the tires are changed will also ensure that the
speedometer retains the original factory-set
accuracy.
NOTE:
The conversion constant can only be
changed six times once the vehicle
leaves the factory. Your Ford dealership
service personnel can change the
conversion constant.
Some vehicles are equipped with a vehicle speed
(mph/km/h) limiting device that is contained
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The purpose of this device is to maintain peak
vehicle speed below a specified limit. (Vehicle
speed limits may vary based on engine
displacement.)
If you are experiencing an “engine cut-out”
condition at high speeds, it may be the result of
this limiting device. It is a normal condition and
can be avoided by reducing vehicle/engine
speed.

Odometer/Trip Odometer
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) odometer is a
combination trip odometer and total odometer.
The total odometer is normally displayed. To see
the trip odometer, press and release the SELECT
control on the upper right side of the
speedometer. To zero out the trip odometer,
press and release the RESET control on the
upper left side of the speedometer while the trip
odometer is displayed. If the trip odometer is
displayed, press and release the SELECT control
to return the display to the total odometer value.
