Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12
cm) 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. Dirty, warped
or damaged CDs, irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch
protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The
label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent
felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may
damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further
information.
Audio system warranty and service: Refer to the Warranty Guide
for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your
dealer or qualified technician.
Navigation system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Navigation System. Refer to the
Navigation supplement for further information.

Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system 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
system OFF, or with recirculated air engaged and A/C off.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”

with A/C to provide colder airflow.
• Set the temperature to 60° F (16° C).
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
In MAX A/C setting:
• Move the temperature control to full cold.
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
In (panel) or (panel/floor) modes:
• Move temperature control to full cold.
• Select A/C and (recirculated air). Use recirculated air with A/C
to provide colder airflow.
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
• To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select .
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
The ignition must be in the 3 (RUN) position to operate the rear window
defroster.
The rear defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. To manually turn off the
defroster before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.
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.

sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
• To turn autolamps on, rotate the
control counterclockwise to .
• To turn autolamps off, rotate the
control clockwise to .
The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for a predetermined
amount of time after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK. You can
change the amount of time the lamps stay on by using the programming
procedure that follows:
Autolamps - Programmable exit delay
Programmable exit delay allows the length of the autolamp exit delay to
be changed.
To program the auto lamp exit time delay:
1. Start with the ignition in the LOCK position and the headlamp control
in the autolamp position.
2. Turn the headlamp switch to
.
3. Turn the ignition switch to RUN and then back to LOCK.
4. Turn the headlamp switch to the autolamp position. The headlamps

5. Wait the desired amount of time for the exit delay you want (up to
three minutes), then turn the headlamp switch to . The headlamps
will turn off.
Foglamp control
With the ignition on, the foglamps
can be turned on when the
headlamp control is pulled toward
you and is in any of the following
positions:
• Parking lamps
• Low beams
• Autolamps (when active)
The foglamps will not operate when
the high beams are active.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns on the front turn lamps.
To activate:
• the ignition must be in the ON position,
• the headlamp control is in the OFF, autolamps or parking lamp
position and
• the transmission must be out of the Park position.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system
does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
