WARNINGS
Make sure the wheel and hub
contact surfaces are free from
foreign material.
Never use wheels or lug nuts
different than the original equipment
as this could damage the wheel or
mounting system. This damage could
allow the wheels to come off when your
vehicle is moving. 1. Install the wheel.
2. Install all of the lug nuts and partially
tighten them in the sequence shown.
3. Lower your vehicle and remove the vehicle jack. 4. Fully tighten all of the lug nuts in the
sequence shown. See Technical
Specifications (page 264).
5. Install the wheel trim.
Note: Make sure that the cones on the lug
nuts are against the wheel.
Note: Alloy wheel lug nuts are suitable for
use on a steel spare wheel.
Note: If the spare wheel is not the same
type and size as your vehicle road wheel
replace it as soon as possible.
Note: Check the lug nuts for correct
tightness and check the tire pressure as
soon as possible. See Technical
Specifications (page 264).
Stowing the Wheel and Vehicle
Jack
Note: Do not raise the spare wheel bracket
without a wheel attached. Damage can
occur to the winch mechanism if the spare
wheel bracket is lowered without a wheel
attached.
1. Attach the spare wheel bracket to the wheel using the retaining nut.
2. Slide the cable through the slot and attach the spare wheel bracket to the
winch.
3. Rotate the cable through 90 degrees and lower the cable end cover.
4. Insert the flat end of the lug wrench into the socket. Turn it clockwise until
you feel a strong resistance. Make sure
the wheel is secure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and Reception
Factors
AM 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 and Strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units 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: Do not insert CDs with homemade
paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player
as the label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. You should use a
permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact an 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. Wipe it 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.
MP3 and WMA Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and
WMA track mode (system default) and
MP3 and WMA folder mode.
• MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any
folder structure on the MP3 and WMA
disc. The player numbers each MP3
and WMA track on the disc (noted by
the MP3 or WMA file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3 and
WMA files may be less depending on
the structure of the CD and exact
model of radio present.

Map Mode
Press the green bar in the upper right area

of both 2D city maps as well as 3D
landmarks (when available).
2D city maps show detailed outlines of
buildings, visible land use and land
elements and detailed railway
infrastructure for the most essential cities
around the globe. These maps also contain
features, such as town blocks, building
footprints and railways.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible
objects that are typically recognizable and
have a certain tourist value. The 3D
landmarks appear in 3D map mode only.

scales up to 2.5 miles (4 kilometers). The
system remembers this setting for larger
map scales, but shows the map in North
up only. If the scale returns below this level,
the system restores Heading up. North up (2D map) always shows
the northern direction to be
upward on the screen.
3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
This viewing angle can be adjusted
and the map can be rotated 180
degrees by touching the map twice, and
