PHONE COMPATIBILITY
While yourBluetoothsystem supports a variety of features, many are
dependent upon the functionality of your cellular phone withBluetooth
wireless technology. If there is an incompatibility, the performance of
your system may be significantly degraded.
To see if your phone is compatible with your Bluetooth system,
please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on
“Check Bluetooth Compatibility”.
Getting started
Pairing (bonding) your phone
The first thing you must do to use the system is to pair (bond) your
Bluetoothenabled cellular phone with your vehicle’sBluetoothsystem.
This process allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free
system and ensures that other phones cannot inadvertently do so. You
may pair/bond up to six phones with yourBluetoothsystem.
To pair/connect your phone:
1. Ensure that yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone and audio system
are on and your vehicle is in Park (P).
2. Press MENU repeatedly until ADV MENU appears in the display.
3. Press and hold MENU to enter into the Advanced menu selections.
4. Press MENU repeatedly until BT ON/OFF appears in the display. If the
feature is set to OFF, press > so BT ON appears in the display.
5. Ensure that your phone is not in privacy mode. Then, follow the
instructions in your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into
Bluetoothdiscovery mode.
6. Select FORD AUDIO when it appears in your phone’s display.
7. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone
keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth
PIN number 0000 or any number using the phone keypad. Now enter the
Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display.
The phone you have just paired/bonded is now considered the ’active’
phone. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, theBluetoothsystem will
automatically begin so search for paired phones, and will attempt to
re-connect to the phone last paired/bonded with the system. If this
phone is not available, the system will then automatically search for the
next most recently connected phone.

INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rearview mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror up or down and from side to side.
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in
motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)
The interior rear view mirror has an auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal (high reflective)
state to the non-glare (darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach
the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle,
it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Note:A rear center passenger and/or raised rear center headrest (if
equipped) may also block the light from reaching the sensor.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Note:If equipped with a rearview camera system, a video image will
display in the mirror when the vehicle is put in R (Reverse). As you shift
into any other gear from R (Reverse), the image will remain for a few
seconds and then turn off. Refer toRearview camera systemin the
Drivingchapter.

REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rearview camera is located on
the rear doors. The camera system
provides a video image which
appears in the rear view mirror of
the area behind the vehicle. It adds
assistance to the driver while
reversing or reverse parking the
vehicle.
To use the camera system, place the transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display in the rear view mirror. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
•(1) Rear bumper
•(2) Red zone
•(3) Yellow zone
•(4) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.
Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the
green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as
they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones.
Use the side mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle.
The camera lens for the camera is located on the rear doors. Keep the
lens clean so that the video image remains clear and undistorted. Clean
the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
Note:If the camera system image is not clear or seems distorted, it may
be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other substance. If
this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the rear view camera
system.
WARNING:The camera system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with
the rear view mirror and the side mirrors for maximum coverage.
