System Operation
DC/AC converter
In the rear part of the center console there is an
optional 230 V socket instead of the outlet of the
standard 12 V electrical system.
In this case a DC/AC converter supplies a
continuous power of 150 W at 230 V/50 Hz. It can
also absorb temporary power peaks of up to 300
W when consumers are switched on. For example, an output of 150 W is sufficient to
run laptops, games consoles and mobile phone
chargers.

Component Description
DC/AC converter
The converter operates with a series connection
of two power converter circuits. The primary power
converter here is a push-pull converter. It converts
the 12 V supply from the electrical system of the
vehicle to an intermediate direct current link of
approx. 320 V.
From this intermediate direct current link, the
downstream full H-bridge circuit generates a
pulse-width modulated output voltage with 230
V/50 Hz.
A controller modulates the pulse width of the
square-wave output voltage and maintains an
effective output voltage of 230 V under varying
load conditions and under different input voltages.
Here, the rising and falling edge of the positive and
negative square wave pulse are controlled
symmetrically to the ideal shape of a sine wave,
which - among other things - also makes a positive
contribution to electromagnetic compatibility.
DC/AC converters which supply a modified square
wave output voltage are referred to as 'Modified
Sine Wave Inverters".
With this type of system there is no need for a
residual current operated device for protection in
the event of accidental contact, as all of the 230 V
lines are double-insulated. Potential-free separation
of the entire 230 V voltage part from the vehicle is
provided (electrical isolation).
The output voltage of 230 V/50 Hz is not generated
until the switching voltage is present at terminal 1
of the converter via the AC mains outlet switch.
The converter operates with the ignition switched
on and a vehicle electrical supply of between 11
V and 16 V. Internal voltage monitoring in the converter deactivates the system if the input
voltage is outside this range.

In order to prevent accidents and the risk of
electrical shock, the outlet is protected with a child
safety device and the AC outlet switch.
In order to make the system safer for children, the
safety catches for the 230 V contacts can only be
pushed to one side by pressing a Euro plug evenly
into both of the connector openings.
The AC mains outlet switch only activates the
system when a consumer is connected to the
outlet. G1055639en

Audio System – Overview
Keycode entry - vehicle with standard
audio system
The keycode is entered via the MENU button and
the arrow buttons. The keycode is then confirmed
with the rotary/pushbutton in the middle of the unit.
Only a limited number of attempts to enter the
correct keycode are allowed. The number of
attempts already made is shown in the display.
Following every subsequent unsuccessful attempt,
an uninterrupted waiting period must be observed
before a further attempt can be made.
The display then shows "WAIT XX" and counts
down to "0", provided the ignition remains switched
on. Once this time has expired, a new attempt can
be made to enter the keycode.
After a certain number of unsuccessful attempts
at entering the keycode, the display will show
"LOCKED" or "SAFE". The customer will now be
unable to switch on the device.
The authorized Ford dealer can remove the lock
and can make up to three further attempts.
Vehicle Identification Number (VID) -
entry - vehicle with standard audio
system
It is often extremely difficult to return stolen audio
units which have been seized by the police to their
owners.
Therefore, many Ford audio units offer the option
of, for example, entering a vehicle identification
number into the unit.
For Ford audio systems, the abbreviation VID is
used to refer to the Vehicle Identification Number.
The VIN (chassis number) or, for instance, the number plate number can be entered and this
fulfills the security function.
The VIN is programmed ex works. If the unit is
replaced, the VIN is automatically transferred by
the diagnostics system during configuration.
Self-check routine - vehicles with
standard audio system.
The audio unit must be in radio mode before
entering the Self-Diagnostic Mode.
To enter the audio unit Self-Diagnostic Mode,
switch the audio unit ON. Press pre-set buttons 3
and 6 simultaneously and then release them again.
Keycode entry - vehicles with upgraded
audio system
The station keys are used to enter the keycode.
Station key 5 is used to confirm the keycode.
Only a limited number of attempts to enter the
correct keycode are allowed. The number of
attempts already made is shown in the display.
After the second unsuccessful attempt, the person
entering the keycode will have to wait for an
uninterrupted period of time before making the next
attempt.
The display then shows "WAIT XX" and counts
down to "0", provided the ignition remains switched
on. Once this time has expired, a new attempt can
be made to enter the keycode.
After a certain number of unsuccessful attempts
at entering the keycode, the display will show
"LOCKED" or "SAFE". The customer will now be
unable to switch on the device.

CAUTIONS:
On vehicles with autolamps, retrofitting
with daytime running lamps is not
permissible, as otherwise, the engine
cannot be stopped when the lighting is
switched on.
On vehicles with autolamps, the daytime
running lamp fuse must not be fitted, as
otherwise, the engine cannot be stopped
when the lighting is switched on.
The combined rain sensor/light sensor is located
behind the interior rear view mirror.
autolamps The low beams, side lamps, license plate lamps
as well as the instrument cluster and instrument
panel illumination are switched on automatically if
all the following conditions are met:
• Ignition ON
• Light switch in the "AUTO" position
•
Detected ambient light conditions below a stored
threshold value
These are switched on and off by the GEM (generic
electronic module) in accordance with the input
signals from the combined rain/light sensor.
Headlamp switch-off delay
In vehicles with mid to high-end equipment, the
headlamp switch-off delay uses the dipped beam
headlamps and the door entry illumination (if
equipped) to illuminate the vehicle surroundings.
This function is activated by operating the main
beam headlamp lever with the ignition switched
off. After the last door has been closed, the function
remains active for a further 30 seconds and then
switches off automatically.
When a door or the tailgate is open, the switch-off
time is extended to 180 seconds. After the last door
has been closed, the switch-off time is reset to 30
seconds.
The headlamp switch-off delay can be deactivated
prematurely by operating the high beam lever again
or by switching on the ignition.
The switch-off time is adjusted to fixed values at
the factory and can
notbe re-programmed using
WDS.
Turn signals The turn signals and the warning lamp flash at a
specified frequency and, in the case of failure of a
turn signal, the frequency is doubled.
The turn signal lamps also have a one-touch lane
change function. If the multifunction lever is
pressed just slightly then the relevant turn signal
lamp is actuated 3 times.
