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: 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio Reception Factors
There are four 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.
• Electric motor noise: AM reception is affected by static and tones
created by the electric motor in your plug-in/hybrid vehicle. These
noises are inherent to the technology used on this vehicle and cannot
be mitigated by your Ford dealer. The noise becomes more or less
significant depending upon the other factors listed here for reception.
CD/CD Player Information
Do: •Handle discs by their edges only.
(Never touch the playing
surface).
• Inspect discs before playing.
• Clean only with an approved CD
cleaner.

•Wipe discs from the center out.
Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
• Clean using a circular motion.
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.
Audio System Warranty and Service
Refer to the Warranty Guide/Customer Information Guide for audio
system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or
qualified technician.

screens may vary in appearance from the screens shown in this
section. Your features may also be limited depending on your market.

Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
Your vehicle’s centerstack has touch-sensitive switches for your

from the touch-sensitive controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may cause a nearby control to turn
on or off.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Since the touchscreen operates based on the touch of a finger, you
may have trouble using it if you are wearing gloves.
• Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the
surface of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
• Power: Turn the media (or climate features) on or off.
• VOL: Increase or decrease the volume.
• Fan: Increase or decrease the fan speed.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
• Eject: Eject a CD.
• SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media modes.
The screen does not change, but you see the media changes in the
lower left status bar.
•
SOUND: Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can make
adjustments to settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and
Fade, THX Deep Note Demo (if equipped), DSP (if equipped), Occupancy
Mode (if equipped), and Speed Compensated Volume settings.
• Hazard flasher: Press the button to turn the hazard flashers on or off.

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.
