Safety by electronics
For your safety your vehicle is fit-
ted with sophisticated electronic
controls.
Running in
There are no particular running in
rules for your vehicle. Simply avoid
driving too briskly during the first
1500 km. Vary the speed frequently
and change to the next higher gear
in good time. Avoid labouring the
engine. This is necessary to give
the moving parts a chance to bed
in.
If possible you should avoid full use
of the brakes for the first 150 km
in town and the first 1500 km on
motorways.
From 1500 km onwards you can
gradually increase the performance
of your vehicle up to the permitted
maximum speeds.
By operating other electronic
equipment (e.g. mobile tele-
phone without exterior aerial)
electro-magnetic fields may
occur which may cause mal-
function of the vehicle elec-
tronics. You should therefore
observe the instructions of
the equipment manufacturers.
Avoid using high engine
speeds. You will then protect
the engine, reduce fuel con-
sumption, lower the engine
noise level and help to reduce
the environmental burden.
We wish you safe and plea-
surable driving with your Ford
vehicle.
Petrol injection system
safety switch
In the event of an accident
the petrol injection system
safety switch will automati-
cally cut off the fuel supply
to the engine (on vehicles
with petrol engines only). The
switch can also be activated
through sudden vibration
(e.g. collision when parking).
To reset the switch, see
instructions on page 57.
