When Inflating Your Tires
When putting air into your tires (such as at a
gas station or in your garage), the tire
pressure monitoring system may not respond
immediately to the air added to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes of driving over
20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to turn off after
you have filled your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure
How Temperature Affects Your Tire
Pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system monitors
tire pressure in each pneumatic tire. While
driving in a normal manner, a typical
passenger tire inflation pressure may
increase about 2 to 4 psi (14 to 28 kPa) from
a cold start situation. If the vehicle is
stationary overnight with the outside
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, the tire pressure may
decrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of
30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This
lower pressure value may be detected by
the tire pressure monitoring system as being
significantly lower than the recommendedinflation pressure and activate the system
warning light for low tire pressure. If the low
tire pressure warning light is on, visually
check each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If
one or more tires are flat, repair as
necessary. Check the air pressure in the road
tires. If any tire is under-inflated, carefully
drive the vehicle to the nearest location
where air can be added to the tires. Inflate
all the tires to the recommended inflation
pressure.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNINGS
The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system
and should only be used in roadside
emergencies. If you must use a sealant, the
Ford Tire Mobility Kit sealant should be used.
The tire pressure monitoring system sensor
and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer after use
of the sealant.
WARNINGS
If the tire pressure monitor sensor
becomes damaged, it will no longer
function. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (page 342).
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light will illuminate when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply
the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place
on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer
in order to prevent damage to the tire
pressure monitoring system sensors. See
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (page 342).
Replace the spare tire with a road tire as
soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have an authorized
dealer inspect the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor for damage.

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 MP3disc 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, crash and injury.
We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the
use of any hand-held device while driving
and encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while
driving.

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 that 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 HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen:
E142616
The HD logo either blinks when acquiring a
digital station, and then stays solid when
digital audio is playing, or is grey when
acquiring a digital station, and then changes
to orange 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 highlighted
numbers 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. Other multicast stations (HD2
through HD7) are only available digitally.
TA G
allows you to save a song to download
later when you are on an acquired HD Radio
station and the feature is on.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of\
the reception area, the station may
mute due to weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the analog broa\
dcast until the digital broadcast
is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels\
, the
station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digita\
l signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast \
stations), it first plays the station
in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD R\
adio station, it shifts to the digital
version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station changes
from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sou\
nd or digital back to analog sound.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, use the contact form to report
any station issues found while listening to a
station broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Independent entities own and
operate each station. These stations are
responsible for ensuring all audio streams
and data fields are accurate.

Change the appearance of the map display
by repeatedly pressing the arrow button in
the upper left corner of the screen. It toggles
between three different map modes:
Heading up, North up and 3D.
E142642
Heading up (2D map) always shows
the direction of forward travel to be
upward on the screen. This view is
available for map scales up to 2.5 miles (4
kilometers). The system remembers this
setting for larger map scales, but shows the
map in North up only. If the scale returns
below this level, the system restores Heading
up.
E142643
North up (2D map) always shows
the northern direction to be upward
on the screen.
E142644
3D map mode provides an elevated
perspective of the map. This viewing
angle can be adjusted and the map
can be rotated 180 degrees by
touching the map twice, and then dragging
your finger along the shaded bar with arrows
