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/Strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your
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 your 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.
122
Audio System

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources for extended periods.
MP3 Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing
and playing MP3 individual tracks and
folder structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for
MP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3
folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder
structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on
the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a
maximum of T255. The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may
be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
• MP3 folder mode represents a
folder structure consisting of one
level of folders. The CD player
numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension)
and all folders containing MP3
files, from F001 (folder) T001
(track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level
of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files. If you are burning your own MP3 discs,
it is important to understand how the
system reads the structures you
create. While various files may be
present, (files with extensions other
than mp3), only files with the .mp3
extension are played; other files are
ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a
variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays
and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files
play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system
only plays the .mp3 files in the current
folder.

WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
accident and injury. Ford strongly
recommends that you use extreme
caution when using any device or
feature that may take your 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. 123
Audio System

•
Only use the sealing compound
before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand
corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle). Check
the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four
years.
• Do not store the kit unsecured
inside the passenger compartment
of the vehicle as it may cause injury
during a sudden stop or collision.
Always store the kit in its original
location.
• After sealant use, the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized Ford
dealer.
• When inflating a tire or other
objects, use the black air hose only.
Do not use the transparent hose
which is designed for sealant
application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an
electrical disturbance in radio, CD,
and DVD player operation.
What to do when a Tire Is
Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread
area can be repaired in two stages
with the kit. •
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing
compound and air. After the tire
has been reinflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle a short
distance (approximately 4 miles
[6 km]) to distribute the sealant
in the tire.
• In the second stage, you will need
to check the tire pressure and
adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle's
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall
during inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance. If the tire doesn't inflate to the
recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call
roadside assistance. Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe,
level and secure area, away from
moving traffic. Turn the hazard lights
on. Apply the parking brake and turn
the engine off. Inspect the flat tire for
visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the
accessory box on the underside of the
kit housing.

Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that is linked to
that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more
cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this
profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages
(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your
cell phone was not connected to the
system. In addition, if you connect a
media device, the system creates and
retains an index of supported media
content. The system also records a
short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and
other system data may be used to
improve the system and help
diagnose any problems that may
occur.
The cellular profile, media device
index, and development log remain in
the vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to the vehicle's SYNC module. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada
do not access the system data for any
purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or
where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other
third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to
access the information independently
of Ford Motor Company and Ford of
Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911
Assist® (if equipped), Vehicle Health
Report (if equipped), and Traffic,
Directions and Information (if
equipped).

HD Radio ™ Information (If
Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal-clear audio and no
static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available
stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com. When this feature is enabled and you
are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice
the following indicators on your
screen:
The HD Radio logo blinks when a
digital station is being acquired and is
solid when digital audio is playing.
When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen .

The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The numbers that are
highlighted signify available digital
channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the
main programming status and is
available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2 through HD7) are only
broadcast digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG
button is available (provided the
feature has been turned on). To use
the tag feature:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TAG Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG. 3. The system automatically saves
the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when it is
connected to the system. If your
music player is connected at the
time, the system automatically
transfers the tag to your player and
a pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes® with your portable music player, the
tags appear to you as a reminder.
The system allows you to tag up
to approximately 100 songs. For a
list of devices that support tagging,
refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following

This feature still works when HD Radio reception is
activated, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the
station has a digital broadcast.
When the channel is active on-screen, press and
hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute, then the sound returns signi-
fying it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again
acquire the digital signal. As with any saved radio
station, you cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station's reception area.
