ACCESSING AND ADJUSTING MODES THROUGH YOUR
INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY
The infotainment display (A) is located on the right side of your
instrument cluster. It allows you to view and make minor adjustments to
active modes without taking your hands off the wheel. For example:
•In entertainment mode, you can view what is now playing, change the
audio source, select presets and make some adjustments.
• In phone mode, you can accept or reject an incoming call.
• In navigation mode (if equipped), you can view the current route or
activate a route.
• In surplus mode, surplus (or status) is represented by either
butterflies or a gauge. The number of butterflies matches the current
surplus or status distance up to a maximum of sixteen butterflies. The
more efficiently you drive, the more butterflies (or higher status)
display, and vice versa. See Message centerin theInstrument Cluster
chapter for more information.
When you enter or turn off the vehicle, you have the opportunity to view
charging status, charge start and end times as well as the charging mode.
You can also switch your charging mode between Value Charge and
Charge Now. See Convenience charging with MyFord mobile in the
High Voltage Battery chapter.

HD RadioInformation (If Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal clear audio and no static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com.
When this feature is enabled and you are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice the following indicators on your
screen: HD) logo blinks when a digital station is being acquired and is
solid when digital audio is playing. When this logo is available,
you may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
Multicast indicator appears in FM mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The numbers that are
highlighted signify available digital channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the main programming status and is
available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2 through HD7) are only broadcast digitally.
TA G allows you to save a song to download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG button is available (provided the
feature has been turned on). To use the tag feature:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TAG On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG.
3. The system automatically saves the song’s information and transfers it to your portable music player (if supported) when it is connected
to the system. If your music player is connected at the time, the
system automatically transfers the tag to your player and a pop-up
confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes with your portable music player, the tags
appear to you to be reminded of the song. The system allows you to
tag up to approximately 100 songs. For a list of devices that support
tagging, refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com or www.syncmaroute.ca.

functions:
When you select:You can:
Scan Hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD Radio
reception is activated, although it does not
scan for HD2 through HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a
digital broadcast.
Seek Hear the next strong radio station.

To save a multicast
station as a preset When the channel is active on-screen, press
and hold a memory preset slot on the right of
the screen until the sound returns. There is a
brief mute, then the sound returns signifying
it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the

access the saved station if your vehicle is
outside the station’s reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
Reception area If you are listening to a multicast station and
you are on the fringe of the reception area,
the station may mute due to weak signal
strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the
possible HD2 through HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stay muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
Station blending When a station is first received (aside from
HD2 through HD7 multicast stations), the
system first plays the station in the analog
version and then, if receiver verifies the
station is an HD Radio station, it shifts to the
digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change
when the station changes from analog to
digital. This shift from analog to digital sound
or digital back to analog, is known as
“blending”.
In order to provide the best possible experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio technology. Every station is independently
owned and operated. These stations are responsible for ensuring all
audio streams and data fields are accurate. See the following chart for
potential station issues.
