GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception
FactorsAM 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
The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the
signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance/Strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units are designed to play
commercially-pressed 4.75 inch (12
centimeter) 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.
Note: 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.
Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped
discs or discs with a scratch protection film
attached. Always handle discs by their edges only.
Clean the disc with an approved CD
cleaner only, wiping from the center of the
disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a
circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
heat sources for extended periods of time.
MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 individual tracks and folder
structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
disc playback: MP3 track mode
(system default) and MP3 folder
mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder
structure on the MP3 disc. The player
numbers each MP3 track on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3
files may be less depending on the
structure of the CD and exact model
of radio present.
97
Audio System
Page 98 of 423

•MP3 folder mode represents a folder
structure consisting of one level of
folders. The CD player numbers all MP3
tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3
file extension) and all folders
containing MP3 files, from F001
(folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through
the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is
important to understand how the system
reads the structures you create. While
various files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only files with
the .mp3 extension are played; other files
are ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer, home
computer and your in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and
plays the structure as if it were only one
level deep (all .mp3 files are played,
regardless of being in a specific folder). In
folder mode, the system only plays the
.mp3 files in the current folder.

that you use extreme caution when using
any device or feature that may take your

For safety reasons, do not connect
or adjust the settings on your
portable music player while the
vehicle is moving.
WARNINGS
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.

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch the fan off, the
windshield may fog up.
A
Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and
the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce
the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering
your vehicle.
B
Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select MAX A/C, the
system distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel air vents. This
mode is more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. When the
temperature control is in the MAX A/C position, neither the air conditioning or
recirculated air can be turned off.
C
Air conditioning: Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning
when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
D
Air distribution control: Adjust to select the desired air distribution.
E
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel and
footwell air vents.

air vents. Air conditioning is automatically selected. The fan is set to the highest
speed and the temperature to HI. When the air distribution is set in this position,
you are unable to select recirculated air or manually adjust the fan speed and
temperature control. Press the AUTO button to return to auto mode.
D
MAX A/C: Press the button to distribute maximum air conditioning through
the instrument panel air vents. This mode is more economical and efficient
than normal air conditioning.
E
Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates.
This can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.
