Radio reception factors
Three factors can affect radio reception:
²Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by ªsignal modulation.º Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
²Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle's
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its ªshadowº) returns your reception to normal.
²Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it
will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.
Audio system warranties and service
Refer to the ªWarranty Guideº for audio system warranty information.
If service is necessary, see your dealer or a qualified technician.
LOW TIRE WARNING (IF EQUIPPED)
Refer to theTiresection of the
Maintenance and Carechapter for

Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is closing, the door
will automatically reverse to the open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
Resetting the PSD
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at all because of
the following condition:
²a low voltage or dead battery
²disconnecting the battery
²if the PSD fuse (fuse #6 ) is removed or blown. Refer toFuses and
relaysin theRoadside emergencieschapter.
If any of these conditions occur, reset the PSD by:
1. Check to see if power sliding door is unlocked and securely closed.
2. Make sure the gearshift is in (P) Park.
3.
Push the power door control on the overhead console to open the door.
4. Wait five (5) seconds and close the door by pressing the power door
control on the overhead console.
5. Wait five (5) seconds and repeat Steps 3 and 4 and go on to step 6.
6. Repeat steps 3±5 for opposite door.
If the door does not rest in the fully open position, repeat Steps 1±4
again. If the door still does not operate correctly:
7. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
8. Remove the PSD fuse (fuse #6) from the passenger fuse panel and
leave it out for thirty (30) seconds. Refer toFuses and relaysin the
Roadside emergencieschapter.
9. Reinstall the fuse and wait ten (10) seconds.
10. Repeat steps 1±6 above.
If the door still does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.
Sliding Door Child Safety Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door child safety lock that helps
prevent passengers from operating the sliding door by using the inside
door handle. This lock is on both doors if equipped. The child safety lock
lever is located in the inside of the sliding door, on the front edge of the
door. Lift the control up to engage the child lock.

Replacing the front passenger and second row bench seat belt
assemblies after a collision
All front passenger and second row bench seat belt assemblies adjacent
to a sliding door have special energy management retractors designed to
further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
These retractors should be replaced if they were used in any accident in
which the front airbags deploy. If the safety belt assemblies are not
replaced, there may be increased risk of injury in the event of a
subsequent collision.
Failure to inspect and if necessary replace the safety belt
assembly under the above conditions could result in severe
personal injuries in the event of a collision.
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module
which records information about the air bag and sensor systems. In the
event of a collision this module may save information related to the
collision including information about the air bag system and impact
severity. This information will assist Ford in the servicing of your vehicle
and may help Ford better understand real world collisions and further
improve the safety of future vehicles.
The air bag supplemental restraint system is designed to work in
conjunction with the safety belts to help protect the driver and front
outboard passenger from certain upper body injuries. The term
ªsupplemental restraintº means the air bags are intended as a
supplement to the safety belts. Air bags alone cannot protect as well as
