Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to 4 (ON) without

turning the key to 5 (START). If

there is difficulty in turning the key,

rotate the steering wheel until the

key turns freely. This condition may

occur when:

• the front wheels are turned

• a front wheel is against the curb

Turn the key to 5 (START), then

release the key as soon as the

engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter.

Note:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,

turn the key to 3 (OFF), wait 10 seconds and try again.

Cold weather starting (flexible fuel vehicles only)

In cold weather, ethanol fuel distributors should supply winter grade

85) ethanol. If summer grade (E

85) ethanol is used in cold weather,

you may experience increased cranking times, rough idle or hesitation

until the engine has warmed up. Consult your fuel distributor for the

availability of winter grade (E

85) ethanol. High-quality blends of winter

grade (E

85) ethanol will produce satisfactory cold weather starting and

driving results.

Cold starting performance can also be improved by using an engine block

heater. Engine block heaters are available as an option and can be

obtained from your Ford dealer. Consult the engine block heater section

for proper use of the engine block heater.

If you experience cold weather starting problems on (E

85) ethanol, and

neither an alternative brand of (E

85) ethanol nor an engine block

heater is available, adding unleaded gasoline to your tank will improve

cold starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate on (E

85)

ethanol, unleaded gasoline alone, or any mixture of the two.

If the engine fails to start using the preceding instructions

(flexible fuel vehicles only)

1. Press and hold down the accelerator 1/3 to 1/2 way to floor, then

crank the engine.

2. When the engine starts, release the key, then gradually release the

accelerator pedal as the engine speeds up. If the engine still fails to start,

repeat Step 1.
