traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its“shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
•Station 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.
Principles of GPS (global positioning system) operation
Your system directs you based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, sensors in your
vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary
information to guide you to your selected destination. Space satellites
determine the vehicle’s current location and transmit position and time
signals to your car.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation
function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will
operate reliably again once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.
Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
•in multi-story parking garages
•in tunnels and under bridges
•inside or in between buildings
•by forests or tree-lined avenues
•in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
•in valleys and in mountainous regions
•roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf.
If your windows are tinted, ensure that you use non-metal tinting instead
of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can interrupt GPS reception.
Cleaning the display
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a
soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should
be used.
•Recommended products- Rubbing alcohol based cleaner (i.e., methyl
alcohol) or a damp clean cloth.

OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle:
Do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF position.
Do not drive with recirculation engaged.
•In order to allow the vehicle to“breathe”using the outside air inlet
vents, do not leave the air flow selector in the OFF position when the
vehicle is parked.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•With the ignition in the OFF position after operating the vehicle, some
vehicle sounds related to the climate control system may be heard.
•Approximately two minutes after key off, the air distribution doors
may adjust their positions as part of the normal operating process.
•Demisters, located at the far left and right sides of the dash, usually
blow out a small amount of airflow in order to reduce side window
fogging.
•Outboard panel registers, located at the left and right sides of the
dash, blow out a small amount of airflow when in Floor, Floor/Defrost,
and Defrost modes. This also reduces side window fogging.

1. Select
.
2. Ensure that recirculation is disengaged.
3. Set the temperature control to full heat.
4. Set the fan to the highest speed.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.

located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER

Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a Cabin air filter. The particulate air
filtration system is designed to reduce the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the air being supplied to the
interior of the vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives the
following benefits to customers:
•Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits
The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl grille
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.
