How to Take Care of and Clean Your CD Changer and
Discs
[AS32220(ALL)06/95]
To ensure the continued performance of your Ford Compact
Disc Changer, carefully read the following precautions:
*
[AS32230(ALL)04/96]
n
Always handle the disc by its edge. Never touch the playing
surface.
*
[AS32240(ALL)08/95]
n
Before playing, inspect the disc for any contamination. If
needed, clean the disc with an approved disc cleaner, such as
the DiscwasherHCompact Disc Cleaner or the Allsop 3H
Compact Disc Cleaner, by wiping from the center out to the
edges.Do not use a circular motion to clean.
*
[AS32250(ALL)04/96]
n
Do not clean discs with solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended
for analog records.
*
[AS32260(ALL)04/96]
n
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as defroster and floor heating ducts. Do not leave any
discs in a parked car in direct sunlight where there may be a
considerable rise in temperature or damage may result.
*
[AS32270(ALL)04/96]
n
After playing, store the disc in its case.
[AS32280(ALL)06/95]
n
If a disc has already been inserted, do not try to insert
another disc. Doing so may damage the disc changer.
[AS32290(ALL)06/95]
n
Do not insert anything other than a disc into the disc
changer.
*
[AS32295(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
The laser beam used in the compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the
case.

[AS35600(ALL)05/96]
Terrain
[AS35700(ALL)05/94]
The terrain (hills, mountains, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS35900(ALL)08/95]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ªbendsº around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
[AS36000(ALL)05/95]
This condition exists when the radio waves are reflected off
objects or structures; the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and distortion.
Cancellation effects are most prominent in metropolitan areas,
but also can becomes quite severe in hilly terrain and depressed
roadways.
[AS36100(ALL)03/93]
To minimize the effects of these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this system. This feature
automatically switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer
monaural signal, which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(ALL)08/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(ALL)08/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.

Air Outlets
[CF01800(ALL)01/96]
Air intake selector button
[CF01900(ALL)01/96]
The typical air intake selection is outside air. However, for
recirculated air, the air intake selector button may be activated.
When the air intake selector button is activated (indicator light
is on), it prevents the intake of outside air. This is the typical
selection when using the air conditioner (if equipped). It
recirculates interior air for faster cooling. The recirculated air
function also helps to prevent the intake of dusty or unpleasant
air.

[CF02000(ALL)01/96]
There are several air outlets on the instrument panel. There are
side outlets near the driver's window and passenger's window,
two center outlets, floor outlets, and windshield outlets. The
direction and amount of air flow from the center and side
instrument panel outlets can be adjusted for personal comfort.
[CF02050(ALL)03/96]
NOTE: Selection of the recirculated air mode under cold and
humid conditions may result in window fogging due
to entrapped humidity within the vehicle. To
counteract this circumstance, switch to the Defrost
mode and set fan speed to 3 or 4. Adjust air
temperature to a ªwarmº instead of ªhotº setting and
deactivate the air intake selector.
[CF02100(ALL)04/96]

Press the A/C button. The indicator light on the A/C button
will illuminate.
[CF05200(ALL)03/96]4.
The air intake selector button may be in the outside air
mode or the recirculated air mode. The outside air mode is
recommended for best A/C performance when the vehicle
interior is very warm. As interior air comfort is reached, you
may decide to switch to the recirculated air mode.
[CF05300(ALL)01/96]5.
Turn the fan speed knob to the position of your choice.
[CF05400(ALL)01/96]6.
If your vehicle is equipped with the rear passenger

REAR, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Refer to the previous section for an
explanation of the heating system.
[CF05500(ALL)01/96]7.
Adjust your instrument panel registers.
[CF05600(ALL)01/96]8.
If the inside of your vehicle is very warm, you may want to
drive for a few minutes with the windows down and the air
conditioner on. This forces most of the hot, stale air out of
the vehicle and allows the air conditioner to cool down the
interior more quickly.
*
[CF05700(ALL)01/96]
The air conditioner may be used to cool the outside air being
drawn into your vehicle, but using recirculated air is more
economical and cools your vehicle more quickly.
[CF05800(ALL)01/96]
NOTE: The A/C button independently toggles the A/C
system's compressor signal and indicator light ON and
OFF in the Panel, Panel/Floor, Floor, Defrost and Mix
functions. The A/C button will not operate or light
when the system is set in the OFF position. The A/C
button will operate in defrost but will not override
previously discussed automatic operation.

Cooling your vehicle with outside air
*
[CF05950(ALL)01/96]
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter
but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity.

[CF06600(ALL)01/96]6.
Make sure the registers in the instrument panel are open.
[CF06700(ALL)01/96]
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from
the air outlets when using the A/C with outside air. Correct
this by switching to recirculated air with the A/C button.
[CF06800(ALL)04/96]
Ventilating your vehicle with outside air
[CF06900(ALL)01/96]
In mild weather, you can ventilate your vehicle with outside air.
If the outside temperature is less than70ÊF (21ÊC), you can add
cool air to your vehicle without using air conditioning. You will
get better fuel economy this way.
[CF07000(ALL)01/96]
The procedure for ventilating your vehicle with the standard
heating system or with the air conditioning system is the same.
