RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect 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.
CD PLAYER CARE
All audios are CD changer compatible. See your
dealer for further details.
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
•Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an
approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center
out.
Don’t:
•Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for
extended periods of time.
•Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD
changer magazine.
•Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12 cm (4.75 in) 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. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a
scratch protection film attached, and CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not
be inserted into the CD player. The label may

•Depress the brake pedal or the clutch pedal (if
equipped). This will not erase your vehicle’s
previously set speed.
•Press the speed
control OFF control.
Note:When you turn
off the speed control or
the ignition, your speed
control set speed
memory is erased.
CENTER CONSOLE
Your vehicle may be equipped with a variety of
console features. These include:
•Dual cupholders
•Auxiliary power point
•Coin holder slots (if equipped)
•Convertible top control (if equipped)
Use only soft cups in the cupholder. Hard
objects can injure you in a collision.
Cell phone use
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has
become increasingly important in the conduct of
business and personal affairs. However, drivers must
not compromise their own or others’safety when
using such equipment. Mobile Communications can
enhance personal safety and security when
appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using
mobile communications equipment to avoid negating
these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is
not limited to cellular phones, pagers, portable email
devices, in vehicle communications systems,
telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

typical operating range for your remote entry
transmitter is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). A
decrease in the operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions,
•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle and
•other vehicles parked next to the vehicle.
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin
between the two halves
of the remote entry
transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT
TAKE THE RUBBER
COVER AND CIRCUIT
BOARD OFF THE FRONT HOUSING OF THE
REMOTE ENTRY TRANSMITTER.
2. Do not wipe off any
grease on the battery
terminals on the back
surface of the circuit
board.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram
inside the remote entry transmitter for the correct
orientation of the battery. Press the battery down to
ensure that the battery is fully seated in the battery
housing cavity.
5. Snap the two halves back together.
Note:Replacement of the battery willnotcause the
remote transmitter to become deprogrammed from
your vehicle. The remote transmitter should operate
normally after battery replacement.

transmitter reprogrammed because you lost one, or

STARTING
Positions of the ignition
1. ACCESSORY, allows
the electrical
accessories such as the
radio to operate while
the engine is not
running.
2. LOCK, locks the
steering wheel, automatic transmission gearshift
lever and allows key removal. For vehicles equipped
with a manual transmission, you must depress the
ignition release lever to release the key.
3. OFF, shuts off the engine and all accessories
without locking the steering wheel. This position
also allows the automatic transmission shift lever to
be moved from the P (Park) position without the
brake pedal being depressed.
When the key is in the ignition and in the
OFF position, the automatic transmission
shift lever can be moved from the P (Park)
position without the brake pedal depressed. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always set the
parking brake.
4. ON, all electrical circuits operational. Warning
lights illuminated. Key position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain
control system. This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, don’t press the
accelerator before or during starting. Only use the

•uneven tire wear
•loose or worn suspension components
•loose or worn steering components
•improper steering alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may
also make the steering seem to wander/pull.
TRACTION CONTROL(IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Traction
Control
system. This system helps you maintain
the stability and steerability of your vehicle,
especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or
ice-covered roads and gravel roads. The system will
allow your vehicle to make better use of available
traction in these conditions.
During Traction
Control
operation,
the traction control
active light will
illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of
sound coming from the engine compartment and the
engine will not“rev-up”when you push further on
the accelerator. This is normal system behavior and
should be no reason for concern.
The Traction Control

switch, located below
the radio, illuminates
when the system is off.
The Traction Control

system will
automatically turn on every time the ignition is
turned OFF and ON.
If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a
very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction
Control
system off. This may allow excess wheel
spin to“dig”the vehicle out and enable a successful
“rocking”maneuver.
The traction control on/off status is shown by an
indicator lamp on the traction control switch. If the

battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed,
the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim
strategy for optimum driveability and performance.
To begin this process:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the
parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or the neutral position (manual
transmission), turn off all accessories and start the
engine.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating
temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for
at least one minute.
6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning
process.
•The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km
(10 miles) or more to relearn the idle and fuel
trim strategy.
•If you do not allow the engine to relearn its
idle trim, the idle quality of your vehicle may
be adversely affected until the idle trim is
eventually relearned.
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery
installed, the transmission must relearn its adaptive
strategy. As a result of this, the transmission may
shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will not affect function or durability of the
transmission. Over time the adaptive learning
process will fully update transmission operation to
its optimum shift feel.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new
battery has been installed, the clock and the preset
radio stations must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
