CD player care:
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
•Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner
and wipe from the center out.
Don’t:
•Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
•Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.
•Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in
(12 cm) 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 felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact
your authorized dealer for further information.
Audio system warranty and service:
Refer to theWarranty Guidefor audio system warranty information. If
service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.
MP3 track and folder structure
Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 individual tracks and folder structure
as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track mode
(system default) and MP3 folder mode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder 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 a maximum of T255. (The
maximum will vary depending on the amount of data.)
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks on the
disc (denoted by the .mp3 extension) and all folders containing MP3
files, from 01–01 to 99–99. The first two digits denote the folder
number and the last two digits denote the track number within that
folder.

If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to “C”. If a “C” is
displayed, remove the source of magnetic interference and re-calibrate
compass, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. A correct zone setting
will eliminate this error. You MUST set the mirror to the proper zone to get
an accurate compass reading, refer toCompass zone adjustment.
Compass zone adjustment
1. Determine which compass zone
you are in by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
3. Press and hold the control for no
more than six seconds until the
zone selection number appears in
the mirror display window. If a “C”
appears repeat this step.
4. Release the control, then press it
down again.
5. Repeatedly press until your zone number is shown in the mirror
display, then release.
6. The display will show all segments, then return to normal compass
mode within ten seconds.
Compass calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Press and hold the control until “C” appears in the mirror display.
3. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) in circles until the
display reads a direction.
4. The compass is now calibrated.

Distance to empty (DTE)
Selecting this function from the INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal
driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling to
allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel.
Single mode display
Dual mode display
The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for
one second when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If
you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return
within 10 minutes.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Average fuel economy (AFE)
Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in miles/gallon or liters/
100 km.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing miles traveled
by gallons of fuel used (liters of fuel used by 100 kilometers traveled),
your figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest gallon (0.1 liter)
