Climate
No knobs or dials needed. Just touch the lower right-hand,
blue corner of the touch screen. SYNC with MyFord Touch
controls the temperature, airflow direction, fan speed, and
activates other climate features for you and your passenger.
To use voice commands to operate climate, say a voice
command like “Climate temperature 72 degrees” and
MyFord Touch will make that adjustment.
Entertainment
No matter how you store your music, SYNC makes it yours
to enjoy when you’re behind the wheel. Just press the lower,
left-hand red corner of the touch screen. From here, you
can easily go between AM/FM, CD, USB and other media
sources. You use your touch screen or the audio controls on
your steering wheel to interact with your digital media.
Bring in Your Own Music
Your media hub is located in your center console. The
media hub includes two USB ports, an SD card slot and
RCA connections. Use them to access digital media such as
MP3s, gaming systems, cameras and phones. It’s never been
easier to control what you listen to. Plug in your compatible
digital music player, USB drive or SD card and SYNC will do
the rest. Browse your music collection however you’d prefer,
by genre, album, artist, playlist and song title using voice
commands. “Play Genre: Rock,” or “Play [Artist]” or “Play
[Song]” are just a few of the simple commands. Refer to
the MyFord Touch chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
complete details.

Wiper Operation
Adjust the wiper stalk and
its controls to operate the
front and rear wipers.
• Single wipe - Pull the
stalk down.
• Intermittent wipe - Raise
the stalk upward to
position 1.
• Normal wipe - Raise the
stalk upward to position 2.
• High speed wipe -
Raise the stalk to its

Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper stalk in
intermittent mode allows
the driver to set the amount
of time between wipes.
Use the rotary control on the wiper stalk to adjust the
intermittent wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control upward
for short wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control downward
for long wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed
increases, the interval
between wipes will decrease.
Auto Wipers*
The wipers function when
moisture is detected on the
windshield, and will adjust
the speed of the wipers
automatically. Use the
rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain-sensor.
• Low sensitivity - the wipers
will automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
large amount of moisture
on the windshield.
• High sensitivity - The
wipers will automatically
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of moisture
on the windshield.
Note: In order for the sensors
to operate properly, keep the
outside of the windshield
clean. Dirt, bugs and
excessive road debris can
cover the sensor and prevent
it from detecting rain.
To reduce smearing, we
recommend the following: • Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
• Switch to normal or high
speed wipes.
• Switch the autowipers off.
Washing the
Windshield

washer, pull the wiper lever
