Available on the new 2004 2005 Ford Windstar minivan is the advance trac stability control system which makes use of computerized antilock brake technology to modulate the rotation speed of each wheel under conditions that could cause a loss in traction and helps the mini van to stay on the road.</p>
<p>All 2004 2005 Ford Windstar vans come with the 3.8L V-6 features a splitport induction system that helps balance the need for economy during normal operation and more power output and sequential electronic fuel injection, multiple port.

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img id="image45" title="2003 Windstar" alt="2003 Windstar" src="http://www.fordfaqs.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/03wind.jpg" align="left" />As the only minivan to achieve the U.S. government&#8217;s highest crash-test rating for eight straight years, the 2003 Ford Windstar in providing families with a safe vehicle for their transportation needs. Durability is another key feature of the 2003 Ford Windstar, as its sturdy construction translates into a long and fruitful life.</p>
<p>The 2003 Ford Windstar is designed for families, and in that vein manufactures have equipped models with the necessary interior features. LX models feature air conditioning, power steering, front passenger area carpeting and cloth headliner, power mirrors, windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. The SE adds such standards as rear air conditioning with rear controls, cruise control, remote keyless entry and an AM/FM/cassette/CD player.</p>
<p>At the upper half of the lineup, the SEL and Limited combine the features of the LX and SE and throw in a few of their own for good measure. The top-line Limited has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, quad bucket seats, 6-way power driver seat with power lumbar adjustment, heated power mirrors with turn signals and rear radio controls.</p>
<p>The 2003 Windstar retains the same basic design as previous models, but adds more aerodynamic side view mirrors, beltline moldings and B-pillar appliquÃ©s to reduce wind turbulence along the sides of the vehicle.</p>
<p>Each and every Windstar model is given the same capable engine. It is a 3.8-liter V6 that doles out 200 horsepower at 4900 rpm and 232 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. 4-speed automatic transmission is standard, providing a fuel economy of 17/23 mpg (city/hwy). The result is enough power to handle full capacity and then some for whatever is in the trunk.</p>
<p>The safety system includes antilock brakes and dual front airbags and uses an electronic crash severity sensor, a restraint control module, driver&#8217;s seat position sensor, safety-belt pretensioners, energy management retractors and front outboard safety belt usage sensors to help protect the driver and front passenger in certain frontal collisions.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img id="image35" title="2002 Ford Windstar" alt="2002 Ford Windstar" src="http://www.fordfaqs.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/wind.jpg" align="left" />The 2002 Ford Windstar has been the recipient of high praise for its sensibility, performance, and stellar government crash test ratings for over several years. Popular with families, it continues to improve and offer new features and colors to effectively compete with even the best vans out there in its class. Four tremendously versatile models hit the market the year, the 2002 Ford Windstar LX, Windstar SE, Windstar SEL, and 2002 Ford Windstar Limited.</p>
<p>The LX has a brand new look this year, sporting standard headlights, and painted body-color front and rear fascias. For those on the lookout for more luxuries, take a good look at the well-appointed 2002 Ford Windstar Limited. In addition to a standard audio system, you may opt for the Autovision Video Entertainment System that includes 6.4-inch overhead console-mounted monitor plus removable videocassette player.</p>
<p>For peace and quiet, the system comes with two headphone sets. Among the convenient aspects of the Autovision package are a remote control, side pocket videotape storage, and eight-foot headphone cords for those seated in the third row.</p>
<p>The 2002 Ford Windstar has loads of interior cargo space, and is graced with amenities such as garage door opener, driver&#8217;s seat memory, and memory functions for the accelerator and brake pedals. The tilt steering wheel with memory comes as an option.</p>
<p>Along with some updated physical changes, the 2002 Ford Windstar features dual sliding doors plus the handy rear liftgate so that you can load and unload effortlessly. Power dual sliding doors are available as a convenient option to make matters even easier, especially when your hands are full. Choose from a new selection of colors for 2002. A roof rack is also offered for the transport of extra cargo, equipment, or sporting goods.</p>
<p>All the 2002 Ford Windstar models boast a 3.8-litre engine that powers along to the tune of 200 horsepower and 240 lbs-ft of torque. Built with front-wheel drive, each vehicle features a 26-gallon fuel tank that allows you to travel 500 miles of highway before you have to pull over to the next gas station. This classifies the Windstar as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle country-wide.</p>
<p>The list of performance features continues with standard equipment such as front disc and rear drum brakes, plus the all-new AdvanceTrac Interactive Vehicle Dynamics System which couples with the ABS brakes at certain moments to maximize control.</p>
<p>The Windstar has received five-star government crash test ratings for seven years in the driver and front-passenger protection category. It also received a double five-star rating in side-impact tests when the vehicle is equipped with side impact air bags.</p>
<p>Standard safety equipment on the Ford Windstar includes anti-lock brakes, AdvanceTrac interactive, electronic crash severity sensor, and strategic crumple zones. Inside, occupants are protected with a driver depowered air bag, passenger depowered air bag, three-point seatbelts, child seat tethers and anchors, and child safety locks.</p>
<p>Another interesting safety fact is that the Windstar is equipped with a front passenger weight sensor that automatically turns off the passenger side air bag and side air bag if the passenger is below a certain weight.</p>
