The auxiliary input jack allows you
to connect your portable music
player and play music through the
vehicle speakers with high fidelity.
Required equipment:
1. Any portable music player
designed to be used with
headphones
2. An audio extension cable with
stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm)
connectors at each end.
To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack:
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off.
2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully
charged and that the device is turned off.
3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output
of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the
auxiliary input jack.
4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into
the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the
volume.
6. If you have a single CD system, press AUX on the vehicle radio
repeatedly until AUX, LINE, LINE IN or SYNC LINE IN appears in the
display. If you have the AM/FM stereo system, press AM/FM repeatedly
until IN appears in the display.
You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may
be low.
7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the
level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the
AUX and FM or CD controls (for the single CD system) or by switching
back and forth between IN and FM (for the AM/FM stereo).

Troubleshooting:
1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level
outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not
compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices
that have a headphone output with a volume control.
2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio
system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many
portable music players have different output levels, so not all players
should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full
volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.
3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or
recharge the batteries in the portable music player.
4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner
when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control
(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.
5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your
portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is
moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is
in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the
portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
USB port (if equipped, late availability)
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may
take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.

To pair/bond subsequent phones to the system,simply follow the
previous procedure.
Phonebook entries:Once theBluetoothsystem connects to your
phone, it will attempt to automatically download your Phonebook entries
so that you can easily access them later. The maximum number of
entries vary depending on the information attached to the number.
Voice recognition
YourBluetoothsystem is equipped with a voice recognition system
which allows you to perform some operations by speaking certain
commands to the system. The system will respond with a series of beeps,
confirmations or questions when necessary. At any time, you can say,
“Cancel” if you do not wish to continue, or “Help” for a list of possible
voice commands in your current mode. Speak the command clearly to
ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired
function.
For best system performance:
•After pressing VOICE on the
stalk, wait until the beep is heard
before speaking a command. Any
command spoken prior to this will
not register with the system.
•Speak naturally without large
pauses in between words.
•Ensure that the interior of the
vehicle is as quiet as possible.
Wind noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing spoken voice commands.
At any time, you can say these commands:
•Phone•Radio
•CD player•Cancel
•External device•Help
External device:Auxiliary input jack
Note:This system is language specific. If you would like the system to
operate in another language, please contact your authorized dealer.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio frequencies:
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: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors:
There are three factors that can affect 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.
