Active Safety Features:
Front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, independent front suspension for stability.
Passive Safety Features:
Seat belts, reinforced body structure, impact-absorbing steering column (standard on later models).
Infotainment Systems Era:
Basic analog radio and cassette player, with limited or no digital integration. Some higher trims might have upgraded sound systems.

Virtually no electronic driver assistance systems common today. Focus on basic functionality and mechanical integrity.
Connectivity Options:
None. No Bluetooth, USB, or smartphone integration.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 6,000-10,000 miles or 12 months, depending on engine and driving conditions. The manual will provide precise intervals.
Timing Belt Interval:
For engines with timing belts (e.g., CVH, Zetec), typically 60,000-80,000 miles or 4-5 years. Critical to follow manual recommendations to avoid catastrophic engine damage.
Engine Oil Specification:
Various API ratings and viscosities (e.g., API SF/SG, SAE 5W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40) depending on engine and climate. Manual will specify exact grades.

Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Specific ATF fluid (e.g., Ford Type-A, Mercon) if automatic transmission is equipped. Manual is crucial here.
Common Issues Corrosion:
Rust and corrosion, particularly on sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, are common on Fiestas of this era due to European climates.
Common Issues Electrical:
Degradation of wiring insulation, aging connectors, and issues with the ignition system or dashboard electronics.
Common Issues Suspension:
Worn suspension bushings, ball joints, and wheel bearings leading to knocking noises and poor handling.
Common Issues Engine:
Oil leaks, coolant leaks, worn valve stem seals, and timing belt failure if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Ford History In Small Cars:
Ford has a long history of producing successful small and economical cars in Europe, with the Fiesta being a cornerstone model.
Fiesta Mk2 Evolution:
Introduced in 1983, the Mk2 was an evolution of the original Mk1, featuring updated styling, improved aerodynamics, and mechanical refinements.
Fiesta Mk3 Evolution:
Launched in 1989, the Mk3 represented a significant redesign with a larger, more modern body, improved safety features, and a wider range of engines. This manual clearly covers the Mk3 extensively.
Production Locations:
Primarily manufactured in Europe, including plants in the UK, Germany, Spain, and France.
