PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
CAUTION
Using the system with the engine off
will drain the battery.
Voice recognition enables operation of
the system without the need to divert your
attention from the road ahead in order to
change settings, or receive feedback
from the system.
Whenever you issue one of the defined
commands with the system active, the
voice recognition system converts your
command into a control signal for the
system. Your inputs take the form of
dialogues or commands. You are guided
through these dialogues by
announcements or questions.
Please familiarise yourself with the
functions of the system before using voice
recognition.
Supported commands
The voice control system allows you to
control the following vehicle functions:
•
Bluetooth phone
• radio
• CD Player/CD Changer
• external device (USB)
• external device (iPod)
• automatic climate control
• navigation system (DVD units only -
refer to separate DVD navigation
handbook).
System response
As you work through a voice session the
system will prompt you with a beep tone
each time the system is ready to proceed. Do not try to give any commands until the
beep tone has been heard. The voice
control system will repeat each spoken
command back to you.
If you are not sure how to continue say
"HELP" for assistance or "CANCEL" if you
do not wish to continue.
The "HELP" function provides only a
subset of the available voice commands.
Detailed explanations of all possible voice
commands can be found on the following
pages.
Voice commands
All voice commands should be given using
a natural speaking voice, as if speaking to
a passenger or on the phone. Your voice
level should be dependant on the
surrounding noise level inside or outside
the vehicle but do not shout.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Take care when handling external
devices with exposed electrical
connectors (such as the USB plug).
Always replace the protective cap/shield
when possible. There may be a risk of
electrostatic discharge causing damage
to the device. Do not touch or handle the USB
socket in the vehicle. Cover the
socket when not in use.
Only use USB Mass-Storage device
compliant devices.
Always switch your audio unit to a
different source (for example the
radio) before unplugging the USB
device. Do not install or connect USB hubs
or splitters.
Note:The system is only designed to
recognize and read suitable audio files from a USB device that conforms to theUSB Mass-Storage device class or aniPod. Not all available USB devices can beguaranteed to function with the system.
Note:It is possible to connect compatible
devices with a trailing USB lead as well as those that plug into the vehicle USBsocket directly (for example USB memorysticks and pen drives).
Note:Some USB devices with a higher
power consumption may not be compatible (for example some larger harddrives).
Note:Access time to read the files on
the external device will vary depending upon factors such as the file structure,size and device content.
The system supports a range of external
devices, to fully integrate with your audio
unit via the USB and auxiliary input
sockets. Once connected, control of the
external device is possible via the audio
unit.
A list of typical compatible devices are
shown below:
• USB memory sticks
• USB portable hard drives
• MP3 players with USB connection
• iPod media players (refer to
www.ford-mobile
-connectivity.com
for latest
compatibility list).

supports FAT 16/32 file systems.
Information on audio file
structures for external devices
USB
Create only a single partition on the USB
device.
If playlists are created, they must contain
correct file paths referenced to the USB
device. It is recommended to create the
playlist after the audio files have been
transferred to the USB device.
Playlists must be created in .m3u format.
Audio files must be in .mp3 format.
