NOTE
l
For easier starting, all the accessories
should be OFF.
l
The engine may not start when
trying to start the engine with the
glow indicator light on.
l
If the glow indicator light stays on or
does not come on at all, the glow
plug control system could have an
electrical problem. If one of these
happens, consult an Authorised Ford
Dealer as soon as possible.
Brake System
q
Foot Brake
Your Ford has power-assisted brakes that
adjust automatically through normal use.
Should power-assist fail, you can stop by
applying greater force than normal to the
brake pedal. But the distance required to
stop will be greater than usual.
WARNING
Do not coast with the engine stalled or
turned off, find a safe place to stop:
Coasting with the engine stalled or
turned off is dangerous. Braking will
require more effort, and the brake's
power-assist could be depleted if you
pump the brake. This will cause
longer stopping distances or even an
accident.
Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep hills:
Driving with your foot continuously
on the brake pedal or steadily applying
the brakes for long distances is
dangerous. This causes overheated
brakes, resulting in longer stopping
distances or even total brake failure.
This could cause loss of vehicle
control and a serious accident. Avoid
continuous application of the brakes.
