CD CARE
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE CD PLAYER
(IF EQUIPPED)
The laser beam used in the compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.
If sound skips:
•You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
•A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
a disc.
•The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
•The disc is dusty or defective.
•The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C
(140°F). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
•A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
