System Operation
In-car entertainment
The audio system is connected to the MS CAN
network and uses an internal amplifier which
directly drives the system speakers. It can only be
operated via the head unit and the radio remote
control. The head unit is connected to the vehicle
on the medium speed CAN bus. This allows the
unit to be interrogated for diagnostic purposes.
The automatic volume control (AVC) adjusts the
audio volume depending on the driving speed. The
audio device receives the necessary signals for
the ABS (anti-lock brake system) wheel sensors
from the instrument cluster on the MS-CAN. As
vehicle speed increases the audio level is adjusted
to compensate for extra road and vehicle noise.
Eight AVC settings are possible.
To choose the setting for automatic volume control,
press the MENU button until the AVC display
appears.
The required adjustment level is determined by the
Infotainment control unit based on the driving
speed signal. The vehicle speed signal is received
over the CAN. The signal is an average of the four
wheel speed sensor signals. Should an invalid
speed signal be received the AVC will not alter the
output volume.
AVC is controlled by the audio amplifier. Component Description
Vehicles with standard audio system
The standard audio system can only be used via
the head unit, the radio remote control and the
mobile electronic accessories module.

Vehicles with upgraded audio system.
The upgraded audio system is available with the
following equipment:
• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3
• • Radio/individual CD player with MP3 and
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3
• • Radio with integrated 6x CD changer with MP3
and DAB
DAB radio
DAB is a procedure for digital transmission of radio
programs.
The DAB system was developed in Europe within
the framework of a European development program
and in recent years has been introduced in many
European countries.
The audio signals from up to 12 radio stations are
packaged into a multiplex and bundled into a single
data stream. This is then broadcast via one or more
terrestrial transmitters. This means that individual
transmitters are no longer needed for each radio
station.
In addition to the much larger range of stations that
can be provided to radio listeners through DAB,
there are also several big technical advantages
over the current FM, MW, LW and SW
transmission:
• Provided the receiver can receive the signal from the DAB transmitter, sound reproduction
is guaranteed. There is no fading, as is typical
for AM and mobile FM reception.
• Interference, such as crackling noises caused by high voltage lines, is filtered out by the DAB
receiver. • With DAB, there is no overlapping of different
stations.
• If the transmission signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings while en route, this
causes interference with FM. With DAB,
however, reception is significantly improved by
this.
Service linking
As soon as the audio device no longer receives
the FM signal in sufficient quality, it automatically
switches to the corresponding DAB transmitter, but
the FM display in the audio device remains active.
When the FM signal becomes available again in
sufficient quality, the device automatically switches
back.
AUX port
The audio systems have an auxiliary device input
(AUX IN) which enables the playback of auxiliary
devices such as MiniDisc or MP3 players via the
vehicle's audio system. Sounds is played back
through the vehicle loudspeakers.
Radio remote control. The following functions can be controlled with the
remote control:

System Operation
Overview
NOTE: In order to prevent discharge of the battery,
if the vehicle is stationary, the Bluetooth mobile
phone and the voice control should only be used
for long periods when the engine is running.
NOTE: For certain mobile phones with the Symbian
operating system, a particular file must be installed
to allow full access to the telephone directory via
Bluetooth. This file is referred to as an SIS file and
can be downloaded from the Ford website. You
can obtain more detailed information from your
Ford dealer.
The system allows the driver to use a Bluetooth
equipped cellular phone handset through the
vehicles Information and Entertainment system.
A physical connection (adapter) between the phone
handset and the telephone control module is not
necessary and is therefore not available.
Communications between the two components are
purely Bluetooth. This can limit the available
functions dependant on the handset used.
The mobile phone system comprises the following
components:
• Control module for mobile electronic auxiliary equipment
• Microphone.
The control module for the mobile electronic
auxiliary equipment is connected to the
Infotainment system via the CAN bus and the audio
line. This enables audio and control signals to be
passed to and from the auxiliary equipment. The
mobile electronic auxiliary equipment control
module is equipped with a built-in Bluetooth
antenna.
Using Bluetooth it is possible to transfer audio files
from Bluetooth compatible storage media to the audio system and replay them (audio streaming).
This function will however only be available at a
later date.
Voice Control
Voice control makes it possible to operate the audio
system without the driver being distracted from the
traffic situation.
When the system is active, if the driver issues a
pre-defined order, the voice recognition system
converts this command into a control signal for the
various multimedia systems. The input can take
the form of dialogues or commands. The driver is
guided through the dialogues by announcements
or questions.
The following systems can be controlled using the
voice recognition system:
• Mobile phone
• Radio function
• CD player/CD changer
•
EATC (electronic automatic temperature control)
• DVD navigation system with touchscreen – Voice control via the mobile electronicauxiliary equipment control module is
unnecessary for the DVD navigation system
with touchscreen because this system has
its own integrated voice control function. G1055659en
