Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed
and securely tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by
filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the
recommended octane and/or properly installing and
securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving
cycles without these or any other temporary
malfunctions present, the light should turn off. (A
driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup
followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No
additional vehicle service is required.
If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at
the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration)
and have your vehicle serviced at the first available
opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

MP3 file directory structure
The MACHtMP3 music system recognizes MP3 disc
file and directory (folder) structure as follows:
²There are two different modes for MP3 disc
playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3
directory mode.
²MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure
present on the MP3 disc. The player sequentially
numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by
the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.
²MP3 directory mode represents a directory
structure consisting of one level of directories
(folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all
MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3
extension) and all directories containing MP3
files, from 01±01 to 99±99. The first two digits
denote the directory number and the last two
digits denote the track number wtihin that
directory.
²Creating discs with only one level of
subdirectories will help with navigation through
the disc files.

CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12cm 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. 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 marker rather than adhesive
labels. Please contact your dealer for further
information.
