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:
The HD Radio logo blinks when acquiring
a digital station and stays 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 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.

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 broadcast 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 digital 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 Radio 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 sound
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.

Power
Motor-to-wheel flow shows the direction of power flow between the wheels
and the electric motor.
A
Electric Motor
represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor
power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready
to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
B
Battery-to-motor flow 1
shows the direction of power flow between the
high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor indicates
the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle (discharging t\
he battery).
Flow toward the battery indicates the electric motor is providing power \
to the
battery (charging the battery).
C
Other 2
includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the
climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power u\
sage
is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node
illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is always some low lev\
el power
in use.
D
Climate 2,3
includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor. The higher the power usage
is from these components, the larger the circle around this node.

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle
illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving p\
ower
from regenerative braking or engine charging. The higher the power going\
into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node.
F
Fuel
represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
G
Fuel-to-engine flow
shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the
engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the engine is o\
n, but
not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the eng\
ine node
is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot is
off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.

provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on.
When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due
to
reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.
I
Motor-to-engine flow
shows the direction of power flow between the engine
and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is providing power
to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical\
system is
providing power to control or start the engine.
J
Engine power
represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the
gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the ci\
rcle
around this node.
K
Engine-to-wheels flow
shows the direction of the power flow between the
engine and the wheels.
L
Drive power
represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel
power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive
power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey.
M
1 The battery-to-motor flow includes battery
power the vehicle is using for acceleration.
It does not include energy the vehicle is
using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories
indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle ’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do
not contribute to making the vehicle move.
The power flow displays power usage from
the climate control system and other
accessories separately.
3 The climate control system may determine
A/C is necessary even when you turn it off.
In this case, you may see some climate
power when the A/C is off.

Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert,
such as the factory-trained technicians at
your dealership, should inspect discolored
fluids that also show signs of overheating
or foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils
and fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals. Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level. Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.
