channel guide, refer to theSirius Welcome Kit.
Satellite radio reception factors:To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
•Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material on the vehicle roof as far away from the antenna as possible.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
SIRIUS satellite radio service:SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a continental
U.S. based satellite radio service that broadcasts over 120 channels of
music, sports, news and entertainment coast-to-coast. A service fee is
required in order to receive SIRIUS service. Vehicles that are equipped
with a factory installed SIRIUS Satellite Radio system include:
•Hardware and limited subscription term, which begins on the date or
sale or lease of the vehicle.
•Online media player access: providing access to all 65 SIRIUS music
channels over the internet. Call SIRIUS at (888) 539.7474 to obtain
login instructions and your password.
For information on extended subscription terms, contact SIRIUS at (888)
539.7474.
Note:SIRIUS reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add
or delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular
channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford
Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming
changes.

RUNNING BOARDS (IF EQUIPPED)
Deployable running boards (DRB) automatically move when the doors
are opened to assist entering and exiting the vehicle.
Automatic power deploy:
•The running boards will extend
down when the doors are opened.
Automatic power stow:
•The running boards will return to
the stowed position when the
doors are closed.
Manual power deploy:
To manually operate the running
boards, refer to theMessage Centerin this chapter.
•This feature can manually set the running boards in the deployed
position for access to the roof or when washing your vehicle.
•When running boards are manually set in the deployed position
(OUT), they will return to the stowed position and enter automatic
mode when the vehicle speed becomes greater than 5 mph (8 kph).
Enable/disable:
To enable/disable the power running board feature, refer to theMessage
Centerin this chapter.
•When this feature is disabled (OFF), the running boards will
immediately move to the stowed position regardless of the position of
the doors.
•When this feature is enabled (AUTOMATIC), the running boards will
immediately move to the correct position based on the position of the
doors.
Bounce-back:
•If an object is in the way of the moving running board, the running
board will automatically bounce back in the reverse direction and
move to the end of travel.
Note:The running boards may operate more slowly in cooler
temperatures. In adverse conditions, mud, slush, salt, and other road
debris may become trapped in the running board mechanism possibly
causing unwanted noise. If this occurs manually set the running boards
in the deployed position and flush the debris from the front and rear
hinges using a high-pressure car wash wand.
