•Wipe discs from the center out.
•Do notexpose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
•Do notclean using a circular motion.
Note: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. Do not use any irregular shaped
CDs or discs with a scratch protection film attached.CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into
the CD player as 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. Ballpoint pens
may damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further
information.

WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may
take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving and that you comply with all applicable
laws.
The auxiliary input jack (AIJ) provides a way to connect and play music
from your portable music player over the vehicle speakers. To access:
1. Plug in one end of the cable into the AIJ (located in your center
console).
2. Listen to an FM station or a CD first to adjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
3. Turn your portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2.
4. Press AUX repeatedly untilAuxiliary audio activeorLine in active
appears.
5. Now adjust the volume on your portable music player until it matches
that of the FM station or the CD you were listening to previously.

Troubleshooting tips
•Don’t connect the AIJ to a line level output. These are intended for
connection to a home stereo and are not compatible.
•Don’t set the volume on your portable music player higher than
necessary as this may cause distortion and reduce sound quality.
•If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the volume
on the portable music player down and check to see if you need to
replace or recharge the batteries.
•The AIJ doesn’t provide control over your portable music player. You
still need to use the controls on the player for functions such as play,
pause, etc.
•For safety reasons, you should not connect or adjust your portable
music player while the vehicle is moving. The portable music player
should have a long enough extension cable to allow it to be stored in a
secure location, (such as the center console or the glove box) when
the vehicle is in motion.

Press MENU > Display Settings > Temp. Setting.
1.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C
engages automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost)
and
(floor/defrost).
2.
(Recirculated air):Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off
automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog
potential.
3.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the airflow in the
vehicle.
4.MAX A/C (if equipped):Distributes recirculated air through the
instrument panel vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior
air is more economical and efficient than normal A/C mode. Recirculated
air may also help reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
Press the MAX A/C button again for normal A/C operation.

Operating tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost) or(floor/defrost).
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with
(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the
windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
