38The Compact Disc Changer unit is now ready to
play using the controls of your Luxury Audio
System.How to Operate the Ford 6-CD
Changer Using the Controls on the
RadioIf your vehicle is equipped with the Ford 6-CD
Changer System, you can operate it through the
controls of your Luxury Audio System.
Several of the controls on the radio operate in the
same manner in CD mode as they do in radio or

TerrainThe terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the
area over which the signal travels may prevent the
FM signal from being noise-free.
Repeated pops and hisses which are heard during
an otherwise clear broadcast can occur near the
station because of the ªline of sightº characteristic
of FM radio waves.
If there is a building or large structure between the
antenna and station, some of the signal ªbendsº
around the building, but certain spots receive almost
no signal. Moving out of the ªshadowº of the
structure will allow the station to return to normal.
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most prominent
in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend
circuit has been incorporated into this system. This
feature automatically switches a weak stereo signal
to a clearer monaural signal, which improves the
quality of reception.
Several sources of static are normal conditions on
AM frequencies. These can be caused by power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While passing
the tower, the station may switch back and forth a
few times before returning to the original station.

46The automatic temperature control system
To turn your EATC on, push the AUTOMATIC
button or any of the six override buttons along the
bottom of the control.
To turn your EATC off, press the OFF button.
When the system is off, the display window will be
blank (dark) except when OUTSIDE TEMP has
been selected. Then, OUTSIDE TEMP and the
temperature will appear in the window.
If you select AUTOMATIC, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If an override button is selected, your
selection determines airflow location only. Fan
speed remains automatic unless you override it by
rotating the vertical thumbwheel located at the
extreme right of the control panel.
To change the temperature in the display window,
select any temperature between65ÊF(18ÊC) and
85ÊF(29ÊC)using the BLUE (cooler) or RED
(warmer) buttons. The Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control will do the rest.

If you want continuous maximum cooling, push the
BLUE button until60ÊF(16ÊC) isshown in the
display window. Your EATC will cool at maximum
and disregard the60ÊF(16ÊC)setting until you
select a warmer temperature with the RED button.
If you want continuous maximum heating, push the
RED button until90ÊF(32ÊC) isshown in the
display window. Your EATC will provide maximum
heat regardless of the90ÊF(32ÊC)setting until you
select a cooler temperature with the BLUE button.
The display window tells you how the system is
operating. It will indicate the selected temperature
and the operating function you have chosen; AUTO
or one of the six manual overrides. It will also
indicate manual (thumbwheel) control of the fan
speed with the
Hsymbol. The display window
with all possible displays and their positions are
shown here. Normally not all are shown at the
same time but are included here to familiarize you
with the names and symbols.The display window
Automatic operationPush the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected temperature and
AUTO will be shown in the display window. The
EATC will automatically heat or cool to achieve the
set temperature. Under normal conditions, your
EATC will need no additional attention.

48The AUTO temperature displayWhen in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is
not warm enough to allow heating. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase
and the airflow will change to the floor area.If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you to
select special air discharge locations. A thumbwheel
allows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
Temperature selectionThe RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of the
Control are for temperature selection. The RED
Button will increase the set temperature and the
BLUE Button will lower the set temperature.
Pressing a button and releasing it will change the
set temperature one degree. Holding either button
in will rapidly change the temperature setting in
one degree increments to either65ÊF(18ÊC)
(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED). Then, the set
temperature will jump 5 Ê and stop at either60ÊF
(16ÊC)which is maximum cooling or90ÊF(32ÊC)
which is maximum heating. When you select60ÊF
(16ÊC) or90ÊF(32ÊC), the fanwill go to HI speed
for maximum air flow.

The normally selected temperature range is between
68ÊF(20ÊC) and78ÊF(26ÊC).Changing the
temperature setting by several degrees outside this
range or overriding to60ÊF(16ÊC) or90ÊF(32ÊC)
will not speed up the heating or cooling process.
Temperature display
Press MAX A/C and DEF at the same time to
switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. If the
battery is disconnected, the display will revert
to Fahrenheit.
Fan speed and thumbwheelYour EATC automatically adjusts the fan speed to
the existing conditions. You must push
AUTOMATIC for automatic fan speed operation. To
control the fan speed yourself, use the thumbwheel
which will cancel the automatic fan speed control.
The thumbwheel is located at the extreme right
side of the EATC control panel. It is a vertical
control marked with a fan symbol. Rotate up for HI
and down for LO speeds.

50When you move the thumbwheel, the fan speed
will go to manual control. The display window will
show the
Hsymbol in the upper left corner along
with the selected temperature and operating
function.
You can override the fan speed at any time. If you
use the thumbwheel to override the fan speed, the
EATC will continue to control the temperature but
you control the fan speed. To return to auto fan
control, press the AUTOMATIC button. If you are
operating in one of the override functions (FLOOR,
MAX A/C, etc.), automatic fan control will
continue unless you rotate the fan thumbwheel. To

return to automatic fan control, press the
AUTOMATIC button. The EATC will return to
Automatic operation. If you want to return to any
override function, press the button for that function.
The fan speed will continue to be automatically
controlled.Manual override buttonsYour EATC has six buttons which allow you to
make special selections. The buttons are located
along the bottom edge of the EATC control and
allow you to determine where the air will be
discharged. Pressing any override button changes
the air discharge location only. It does not affect
the ability of the system to control temperature or
the fan speed. Return to fully Automatic operation
by pushing the AUTOMATIC button.MAX A/C button
The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling
because air is drawn from inside the vehicle. Using
inside air causes the fan to sound louder which is
normal for this selection. The Display window will
change to indicate60ÊF(16ÊC) and MAXA/C. The
fan will run and the airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. To exit and return to the
previous temperature, push AUTOMATIC or any of
the other five override buttons.
VENT button
Push this button to select outside air through the
instrument panel registers. The display window will
show the set temperature and VENT to the lower
right of the temperature. Your EATC will heat the
air if the temperature you have selected is warmer
than the outside air coming into the vehicle.
However, the air will NOT be cooled regardless of
the temperature setting.
