WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.
Check engine:TheCheck Engine
indicator light illuminates when the
ignition is first turned to the ON
position to check the bulb. Solid
illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer toOn
board diagnostics (OBD-II)in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
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.
Check fuel cap (if equipped):
Illuminates when the fuel cap may
not be properly installed. Continued
driving with this light on may cause
the Check engine warning light to
come on. Refer toFuel filler capin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter.

Low fuel (if equipped):
Illuminates when the fuel level in
the fuel tank is at, or near empty
(refer toFuel gaugein this
chapter).
Speed control:Illuminates when
the speed control is activated. Turns
off when the speed control system
is deactivated.
Low washer fluid (if equipped):
Illuminates when the windshield
washer fluid is low.
Bulb warning (if equipped):
Illuminates when one of the exterior
front turn lamps or rear
brake/turn/tail lamps bulb has
burned out. Depress the RESET control to return to the Trip odometer
display.
Door ajar (if equipped):
Illuminates when the ignition is in
the ON position and any door is
open.
Turn signal:Illuminates when the
left or right turn signal or the
hazard lights are turned on. If the
indicators stay on or flash faster, check for a burned out bulb.
High beams:Illuminates when the
high beam headlamps are turned on.
Electronic throttle control (if
equipped):Illuminates when the
engine has defaulted to a
’limp-home’operation. Report the
fault to a dealer at the earliest opportunity.

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 felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
dealer for further information.
15.Power/volume:Press to turn
the system on/off. Turn to
raise/lower the volume.
Speed sensitive volume:(if
equipped) Radio volume changes
automatically and slightly with
vehicle speed to compensate for road and wind noise.
Press and hold the volume control for five seconds. Then press SEL to
increase (
) or decrease () the volume setting. The level will
appear in the display.

up.
18.Tape door:Insert the tape facing the right.
RADIO FREQUENCIES
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

Quick Start — How to get going
To play a radio station:
1. Ensure that the vehicle ignition is on.
2. Press AUDIO.
3. Select AM, FM1 or FM2.
4. Press TUNE to adjust manually up (
) or down ().
5. Press SEEK to find the next strong station up (
) or down ().
Note:If PTY (program type) is selected, the station selection will be
limited.
To play a previously loaded CD:
1. Ensure that the vehicle ignition is on.
2. Press AUDIO.
3. Press CD to select a CD which is already loaded. (NO CD will appear
in the display if there are not CDs loaded into the system).
4. CD will begin to play.

2. Press SOUND.
3. SCV is located in the middle of
the screen. Press to turn on.
4. Select setting 1 to 7 or turn off.
The AM/FM control works in radio, CD and navigation modes.
AM/FM select in radio mode
Press to switch between AM/FM1/FM2 memory preset stations.
AM/FM select in CD mode
Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.
Radio reception factors:
•Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by“signal modulation.”Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
•Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its“shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
•Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
AM/FM select in navigation mode
The radio will continue to play in the background of the navigation
screens. To access, press AUDIO then AM/FM1/FM2.SOUND
