Parental control
The multimedia system allows for
three varying levels of parental
control over rear-seat controls. By
simultaneously pressing the 3 and 5 buttons, the rear passengers may be
allowed to access FULL or LOCAL control or be LOCKED out of rear
seat controls altogether.
After the ignition has been turned on, the rear seat passengers have
FULL control over the audio system. This means that while in single play
mode, the rear seat passengers can fully control the audio system from
the rear controls (including volume, media selection and seek
adjustments).
Simultaneously press 3 and 5 to restrict the rear passengers control to
LOCAL media. While in dual play mode, this means that only media
which is played through the auxiliary input jacks, or media which has
been selected at the radio by the driver can be accessed by the rear
passengers. Press 3 and 5 a second time to LOCK the rear passenger
controls completely; all media access is removed from the rear
passengers. Press 3 and5athirdtimetocomplete the cycle and allow
full control to the rear passenger again.
To activate the rear seat radio controls:
•After the ignition has been turned
on, FULL rear controls are active
and the system is in single play
mode.
•Press the memory preset controls 3 and 5 at the same time. The word
LOCAL will illuminate in the radio display and on the rear display,
indicating that only LOCAL rear control is available.Note:While in
single play mode, LOCAL is the same as LOCKED. In dual play mode,
LOCAL allows control of media which the driver has selected at the
radio, or over media played through the rear auxiliary input jacks.)
•Press the 3 and 5 buttons a second time and the rear control will be
LOCKED (locked). In this state, the rear passenger is restricted from
control over media of any kind, the rear controls are disabled.Note:If
in dual play mode, the headphone icon normally illuminated in the
radio display when in dual play, will turn off in the radio display.
•Press the 3 and 5 buttons a third time and full control will be restored
to the rear seat controls. Turning the ignition off and then on again
will have the same effect.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio frequencies:
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors:
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
CD/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.

Satellite radio information (if equipped)
Satellite radio channels:SIRIUSbroadcasts a variety of music, news,
sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUSsatellite radio channels,
visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.siriuscanada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUSat 1–888–539–7474.
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 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.
SIRIUSsatellite radio service:SIRIUSsatellite radio is a
subscription based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports,
news and entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order
to receive SIRIUSservice. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory
installed SIRIUSsatellite radio system include hardware and a limited
subscription term, which begins on the date of sale or lease of the
vehicle.
For information on extended subscription terms, the online media player
and other SIRIUSfeatures, please contact SIRIUSat 1–888–539–7474.
Note:SIRIUSreserves 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.
