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, encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state
and local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with two
USB ports in the center console.
This allows you to plug in media
playing devices, memory sticks, and
also to charge devices if they
support this feature. Refer to your
MyFord Touchchapter for
information.

Speed-Restricted Features
Some features of this system may be too difficult to use while the vehicle
is in motion so they’re restricted from being modified unless the vehicle
is not moving. Some examples of these are listed below:
•Screens that are too crowded with information, such as Point of
Interest (POI) reviews and ratings, SIRIUS Travel Link™ sports
scores, movie times, ski conditions, etc.
• Any action that requires using a keyboard, such as entering a
navigation destination or editing information
• All lists are limited so the user can view fewer entries (e.g. phone
contacts, recent phone call entries)
Listed below are more specific features that can only be modified while
the vehicle is not moving:
Restricted features
Cellular Phone Pairing a Bluetooth phone Adding phonebook contacts or uploading
phonebook contacts (from a USB)
Lists entries are limited for phone contacts
and recent phone call entries

SD Card Slot and USB Port
SD Card Slot
Note:Your SD card slot is spring-loaded. To remove the SD card, press
the card in and the system ejects it. Do not attempt to pull the card to
remove it as this could cause damage.
The card slot can be used for your navigation card (if equipped). Refer
to Navigation system later in this chapter for more information.
The slot is located either in the center console
or behind a small access door in the
instrument panel. To access and play music
from your SD card slot, press the lower left
corner of the touchscreen.

LLC.
USB Port The ports are located either in the center
console or behind a small access door in the
instrument panel. To access and play music
from your device, press the lower left corner
of the touchscreen.
This feature allows you to plug in media playing devices, memory sticks,
flash/thumb drives and also charge devices if they support this feature.
In order to playback video from your iPod/iPhone (if compatible), you
MUST have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable
(available for purchase from Apple). When the cable is connected to
your iPod/iPhone, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and the
USB port.

5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V in tab.(You should hear audio from your portable music player although it
may be low.)
6. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between
the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod or iPhone(if compatible),
you must have a special combination USB/RCA composite video cable
(available for purchase from Apple). When the cable is connected to
your iPod or iPhone, plug the other end into both the RCA jacks and
the USB port.
Note: For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your
portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is
moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is
in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the
portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. The AIJ
only works correctly with devices that have a headphone output with
a volume control.
• Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio as this causes
distortion and reduces sound quality.
• If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace
or recharge the batteries in the portable music player.
• The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner
when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control
(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.
