FORD 2003 Excursion v.2 - Manual (Page 16)

Engine oil pressure gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. At
normal operating temperature, the
needle will be in the normal range
(the area between the “L” and “H”);
if the needle goes below the normal
range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil
level. Add oil if needed (refer to
Engine oil in the Maintenance
and specifications chapter). If the
oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.
Transmission fluid temperature gauge
If the gauge is in the:
White area (normal) - the
transmission fluid is within the
normal operating temperature
(between “H” and “C”).
Yellow area (warning) — the
transmission fluid is higher than
normal operating temperature. This
can be caused by special operation
conditions (i.e. towing or off road
use). Refer to Special Operating
Conditions in the scheduled
maintenance guide for instructions.
Operating the transmission for
extended periods of time with the
gauge in the yellow area may cause
internal transmission damage.
Altering the severity of the driving conditions is recommended to lower
the transmission temperature into the normal range.
