are stored on preset buttons, may be
updated with the correct frequency and
station name for that area. AUTOSTORE CONTROL

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL
Many stations that broadcast on the FM
waveband have a TP code to signify that
they carry traffic programme information.
Activating traffic announcements
Before you can receive traffic
announcements, you must press either the
TA or TRAFFIC button. A ‘TA’ display will
appear to show the feature is switched on.
If you are already tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information, ‘TP’ will
also be displayed. Otherwise the unit will
search for a traffic programme.
When traffic information is broadcast, it
will automatically interrupt normal radio
or CD playback and ‘Traffic announcement
(TA)’ will appear in the display.
If a non-traffic station is selected or
recalled using a preset button, the audio
unit will remain on that station unless TA
or TRAFFIC is turned off, then on again.
Note: If TA is on and you select a preset or
manual tune to a non TA station no traffic
announcement will be heard.

way as traffic information is provided.
During news broadcasts, the display will

ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES
Many programmes that broadcast on the
FM waveband have a programme
identification (PI) code, which can be
recognised by audio units.
If your radio has alternative frequencies
(AF) tuning switched on and you move
from one transmission area to another, this
facility will search for and switch to a
stronger station signal, if one can be found.
Under certain conditions, however, AF
tuning may temporarily disrupt normal
reception.
When selected, the unit continually
evaluates signal strength and, if a better
signal becomes available, the unit will
switch to that alternative. It mutes while
it checks a list of alternative frequencies
and, if necessary, it will search once across
the selected waveband for a genuine
alternative frequency.

one or, if one is not found, the unit will
return to the original stored frequency.
When selected,
‘AF’ will be shown in the

REGIONAL MODE (REG)
Regional mode (REG) controls the
behaviour of AF switching between
regionally related networks of a parent
broadcaster. A broadcaster may run a fairly
large network across a large part of the
country. At various times of the day this
large network may be broken down into a
number of smaller regional networks,
typically centred on major towns or cities.
When the network is not split into regional
variants, the whole network caries the
same programming.
Regional mode ON: This prevents 'random'
AF switches when neighbouring regional
networks are not carrying the same
programming.
Regional mode OFF: This allows a larger
coverage area if neighbouring regional
networks are carrying the same
programming, but can cause 'random' AF
switches if they are not.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select AUDIO or AUDIO SETTINGS.
3. Scroll to RDS REGIONAL and turn on or off with the OK button.
4. Press the MENU button to return.

MP3 FILE PLAYBACK
Note: Some copy protected audio files may
not be read by the CD player.
The CD player also supports MP3 and
WMA format audio files. When a CD containing audio is inserted
into the CD player the disc's directory
structure is read in. It may take a while
before playback starts and is dependant
on the quality of the disc.
MP3 tracks may be recorded on the CD in
several ways. They can all be placed in the
root directory like a conventional audio CD,
or they can be placed in folders that may
represent, for example, an album, an artist,
or a genre.
Playing a multi session disc
The normal playing sequence on CD's with
multiple folders is to play the tracks in the
first folder, then the tracks in any folders
nested inside the first folder, then move
onto the second folder, and so on. For
example, if folder 1 has folders 1a and 1b
within it, and folder 2 contains folder 2a,
the playing sequence will be folder 1, 1a, 1b,
2, 2a.
When the playback of a file is finished the
playback of the other files in the same
directory continues. Directory change takes
place automatically when all files in the
current directory have been played back.
MP3 DISPLAY OPTIONS
When an MP3 disc is playing, certain
information encoded in each track can be
displayed. Such information will normally
include:
•
The file name
• The folder name
• ID3 information which might be the
album or artist’ s name.
The unit will normally show the file name
that is playing. To select one of the other
items of information, press the INFO
button repeatedly until the required item
is shown in the display.

limited information encoded in each track
can be displayed. Such information will
normally include:
• The disc name
• The artist name
• The track name.
Note: These display options are selected
in the same way as MP3 displays. NO DISC
NAME or NO TRACK NAME will be shown
in the display if no information has been
encoded.

CAUTION
Using the system with the engine off
will drain the battery.
This section describes the functions and
features of the Bluetooth mobile phone
hands free system.
The Bluetooth mobile phone part of the
system provides interaction with the audio
or navigation system and your mobile
phone. It allows you to use the audio or
navigation system to make and receive
calls without having to hold your mobile
phone.
Compatibility of phones
CAUTION
As no common agreement exists,
mobile phone manufacturers are able
to implement a variety of profiles in
their Bluetooth devices. Because of this,
an incompatibility can occur between the
phone and hands-free system, which in
some cases may significantly degrade the
system performance. To avoid this
situation, only recommended phones
should be used.
Please visit the website www.ford-
mobile-connectivity.com for full details. BLUETOOTH SETUP
Before you can use your telephone with
your vehicle it must be bonded to the
vehicle telephone system.
Handling of phones
Up to six Bluetooth devices can be bonded
to the vehicle system. Note:
If there is an ongoing call when the
phone in use is selected as the new active
phone, the call is transferred to the vehicle
audio system.
Note: Even if connected to the car system,
your phone can still be used in the usual
way.
Requirements for Bluetooth
connection
The following are required before a
Bluetooth phone connection can be made.
1. The Bluetooth feature must be activated on the phone and on the
audio unit. Make sure the Bluetooth
menu option in the audio unit is set to
ON. For information on phone settings,
refer to your phone user guide.
2. In the Bluetooth menu on your phone, search for Ford Audio and select it.
3. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone keypad.
If no code number is shown on the

the audio unit is switched off. If the ignition
key is turned to the off position the phone
call will remain in progress.
