NOTE: You might hear a chattering sound from the Anti-lock Brake System each time the vehicle is started or during driving. This is normal. Ford Motor Company has not found any detrimental effects of popular mobile road transmitting equipment installed on vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System if normal radio installation practices are rigidly followed. However, if after installing mobile radio transmitting equipment, the Anti-lock Brake System light comes on at any time other than immediately after turning the key to the ON position or during a sudden stop, have your mobile radio dealer inspect the radio installation. Proper radio installation procedures to be followed are published by the radio manufacturer. Parking Brake The parking brake should be used whenever you park your vehicle. If the service brakes don't operate while the vehicle is in motion, you can make an emergency stop with the parking brake, however, the stopping distance will be much greater than normal. The parking brake lever is located between the front seats. To set the parking brake, put your foot on the brake pedal while pulling the parking brake handle fully and firmly upward. To release the parking brake, put your foot on the brake pedal, pull the handle upward and push the button. Then lower the handle to the released position while holding the button in. 129
