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.

•Wipe discs from the center out.
Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in
(12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Do not use any irregular shaped
CDs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be
inserted into the CD player as
the label may peel and cause the
CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade
CDs be identified with
permanent felt tip marker rather
than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Audio System Warranty and Service
Refer to the Warranty Guide/Customer Information Guide for audio
system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or
qualified technician.

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.

Press to access your home screen.
Depending on your vehicle’s option package and software, your
screens may vary in appearance from the screens shown in this
section. Your features may also be limited depending on your market.
Check with your authorized dealer for availability.
Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
Your vehicle’s centerstack has touch-sensitive switches for your
infotainment and climate control systems. To turn a feature on and off,
just touch the graphic with your finger. To get the best performance
from the touch-sensitive controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may cause a nearby control to turn
on or off.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.
• Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the
surface of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
• Power: Turn the media (or climate features) on or off.
• VOL: Increase or decrease the volume.
• Fan: Increase or decrease the fan speed.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
• Eject: Eject a CD.
• SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media modes.
The screen does not change, but you see the media changes in the
lower left status bar.
•
SOUND: Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can make
adjustments to settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and
Fade, THX Deep Note Demo (if equipped), DSP (if equipped), Occupancy
Mode (if equipped), and Speed Compensated Volume settings.
• Hazard flasher: Press the button to turn the hazard flashers on or off.
