Premium Stereo Cassette, Stereo
Cassette with CD DJ and
Premium Compact Disc RadioYour vehicle is equipped with either a premium
stereo cassette radio or a premium compact disc
radio. Both systems are available with a JBLH
upgrade system, which includes a Ford 10-CD
changer.
Individual functions of these systems follow:Using the Controls on Your New RadioHow to turn the radio on and offPress the ªVOL/PUSHº knob to turn the radio on.
Press again to turn it off.How to adjust the volumeTurn the ªVOL/PUSHº knob to the right to
increase the volume and to the left to decrease the
volume. Bars illuminate in the display to show
relative volume level.NOTE:If the volume level is set above a certain
listening level when the ignition switch is turned
off, when the ignition switch is turned back on, the
volume will come back to a ªnominalº listening
level. However, if the radio power is turned off, the
volume will remain in the position it was set at
when radio power was switched off.
Selecting the AM or FM frequency bandPush the ªAM/FMº button to select the desired
frequency band or to stop/store cassette tape (when
in cassette mode) or compact disc (when in CD
mode). Pushing the button more than once will
alternate between AM, FM1 and FM2. These
functions are used with the station memory buttons
described underHow to tune radio stations.How to tune radio stationsThere are four ways for you to tune in a particular
station. You can manually locate the station using
the ªTUNEº, ªSEEKº, ªSCANº or selecting the
station by using the memory buttons, which you

increment at a time by pressing and releasing either
the left
bor right
aside of the ªTUNEº button.
To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down
either the right or left side of the button.
Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any allowable
broadcast frequency, whether or not a station is
present on that frequency. (SeeAll About Radio
Frequenciesin this section.)
q
Using the ªSEEKº function
Press the right (
a) side of the ªSEEKº button to
select the next listenable station up the frequency
band. Press the left (

the next listenable station down the frequency
band. By pressing and holding the button, listenablestations can be passed over to reach the desired
station.
q
Using the ªSCANº function
Pressing the ªSCANº or ªSCNº button will begin
the scan mode up the frequency band, stopping on
each listenable station for approximately five
seconds.
To stop the scan mode on the presently sampled
station, press the ªSCANº or ªSCNº button again.
q
Setting the station MEMORY PRESET buttons

Follow the easy steps below to set these buttons to
the desired frequencies:
1. Select a band, then select a frequency.
2. Press one of the memory preset buttons and
hold the button until the sound returns. That
station is now held in memory on that button.
3. Follow the two steps above for each station
memory preset button you want to set.q
Using the AUTOSET feature
With AUTOSET, you can continually set strong
stations into your memory buttons without
losing your originally set stations.
Press the ªAUTOSETº button once. Your radio
will set the first six strong stations of the band
you are in (AM, FM1, or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
ªAUTOº, then run through the frequencies
setting the memory buttons.NOTE:If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the remaining
unfilled buttons will store the last strong station
detected on the band.
When all stations are filled, the radio will begin
playing the station stored in memory button 1.
To deactivate the Auto Memory Store mode and
return to manually-set memory button stations,
press the ªAUTOSETº button. Display will show

Controls and FeaturesThe Climate Control SystemElectronic Automatic Temperature
Control SystemThe Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
(EATC) module is located at the center of the
instrument panel and operates only when the key is
in the ON position.The EATC feature maintains the temperature you
select and automatically controls the airflow for
your comfort. It also allows you to override the
automatic operation with manual override buttons.

70The automatic temperature control system
To turn your EATC on, push the AUTOMATIC
button or any of the six override buttons along the
bottom of the control.
To turn your EATC off, press the OFF button.
When the system is off, the display window will be
blank (dark).
If you select AUTOMATIC, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If an override button is selected, your
selection determines airflow location only. Fan
speed remains automatic unless you override it by
rotating the vertical thumbwheel located at the
extreme right of the control panel.
To change the temperature in the display window,
select any temperature between65ÊF(18ÊC) and
85ÊF(29ÊC)using the BLUE (cooler) or RED
(warmer) buttons. The Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control will do the rest.

72When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is
not warm enough to allow heating. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to increase
and the airflow will change to the floor area.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you to
select special air discharge locations. A thumbwheel
allows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
Temperature selectionThe RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of the
Control are for temperature selection. The RED
Button will increase the set temperature and the
BLUE Button will lower the set temperature.
Pressing a button and releasing it will change the
set temperature one degree. Holding either button
in will rapidly change the temperature setting in
one degree increments to either65ÊF(18ÊC)
(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED). Then, the set
temperature will jump 5 Ê and stop at either60ÊF
(16ÊC)which is maximum cooling or90ÊF(32ÊC)
which is maximum heating. When you select60ÊF
(16ÊC) or90ÊF(32ÊC), the fanwill go to HI speed
for maximum air flow.
The average temperature range used is between
68ÊF(20ÊC) and78ÊF(26ÊC).Changing the
temperature setting by several degrees outside this
range or overriding to60ÊF(16ÊC) or90ÊF(32ÊC)
will not speed up the heating or cooling process.

74You can override the fan speed at any time. If you
use the thumbwheel to override the fan speed, the
EATC will continue to control the temperature but
you control the fan speed. To return to auto fan
control, press the AUTOMATIC button. If you are
operating in one of the override functions (FLOOR,
MAX A/C, etc.), automatic fan control will
continue unless you rotate the fan thumbwheel. Toreturn to automatic fan control, press the
AUTOMATIC button. The EATC will return to
Automatic operation. If you want to return to any
override function, press the button for that function.
The fan speed will continue to be automatically
controlled.
Manual override buttonsYour EATC has six buttons which allow you to
make special selections. The buttons are located
along the bottom edge of the EATC control and
allow you to determine where the air will be
discharged. Pressing any override button changes
the air discharge location only. It does not affect
the ability of the system to control temperature or
the fan speed. Return to fully Automatic operation
by pushing the AUTOMATIC button.

MAX A/C button
The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling
because air is drawn from inside the vehicle. Using
inside air causes the fan to sound louder which is
normal for this selection. The Display window will
change to indicate60ÊF(16ÊC) and MAXA/C. The
fan will run and the airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. To exit and return to the
previous temperature, push AUTOMATIC or any of
the other five override buttons.
VENT button
Push this button to select outside air through the
instrument panel registers. The display window will
show the set temperature and VENT to the lower
right of the temperature. Your EATC will heat the
air if the temperature you have selected is warmer
than the outside air coming into the vehicle.
However, the air will NOT be cooled regardless of
the temperature setting.PNLOFLR button
Push this button to get air from the floor and
instrument panel registers at the same time. The
display will show the set temperature and the
words PNL and FLR. Depending on the selected
temperature, the air will be automatically heated or
cooled.
FLOOR button
Airflow will be to the floor when the FLOOR
button is pressed. The display window will show
the set temperature and FLR to the left of the
temperature. The air cannot be cooled in the FLR
position, only heated. Fan speed will be automatic
unless manually controlled. If you override the fan
speed and wish to return to automatic fan control,
push AUTOMATIC. Then, again select FLOOR for
airflow to the floor.
