Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
WARNING:For safety reasons, do not connect or adjust the
settings on your portable music player while the vehicle is
moving.
WARNING: Store the portable music player in a secure location,
such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is
in motion. Hard objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury. The audio extension
cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off.
2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully charged and that the device is turned off.
3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the
AIJ in your vehicle.
4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio Reception Factors
There are four factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
• Electric motor noise: AM reception is affected by static and tones
created by the electric motor in your plug-in/hybrid vehicle. These
noises are inherent to the technology used on this vehicle and cannot
be mitigated by your Ford dealer. The noise becomes more or less
significant depending upon the other factors listed here for reception.
CD/CD Player Information
Do: •Handle discs by their edges only.
(Never touch the playing
surface).
• Inspect discs before playing.
• Clean only with an approved CD
cleaner.

Satellite Radio Information (If Equipped)
Satellite Radio Channels
SIRIUSbroadcasts a variety of music, news, sports, weather, traffic and
entertainment satellite radio channels. For more information and a
complete list of SIRIUS satellite radio channels, visit www.sirius.com in
the United States, www.siriuscanada.ca in Canada, or call SIRIUS at
1–888–539–7474.
Satellite Radio Reception Factors
To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle
roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky,
a requirement of a satellite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance:
• Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio Service
Note:SIRIUS reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add or
delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular
channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford
Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming changes.
SIRIUS satellite radio is a subscription based satellite radio service that
broadcasts music, sports, news and entertainment programming. A
service fee is required in order to receive SIRIUS service. Vehicles that
are equipped with a factory installed SIRIUS satellite radio system
include hardware and a limited subscription term, which begins on the
date of sale or lease of the vehicle.
For information on extended subscription terms, the online media player
and other SIRIUS features, please contact SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
