THE SPEEDOMETER IN THIS MODEL IS DIFFICULT TO VIEW, PARTICULARLY IN DAYLIGHT, DUE TO BLUE NUMBERS AGAINST A BLUE BACKGROUND. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, IF A DRIVER CANNOT EASILY SEE THE SPEED HE/SHE IS TRAVELING, IT COULD RESULT IN DRIVING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED AND RESULTING IN A CRASH. SECOND, A DRIVER MAY HAVE TO TAKE HIS/HER EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR TOO LONG TO SEE THE SPEED REGISTERED, RATHER THAN JUST A GLANCE. THIS DISTRACTION COULD ALSO RESULT IN A CRASH. MORE CONTRAST OR BETTER ILLUMINATION OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER COULD ALLEVIATE THIS CONCERN. *TR

FORD CHECKED IT OUT FOR TWO HOURS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR
