INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror when your vehicle is
moving.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or ammonia based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your preference. Some mirrors also
have a second pivot point. This lets you move the mirror head up or
down and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note:Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the mirror.
Mirror performance may be affected. A rear center passenger or raised
rear center head restraint may also block light from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to reduce glare when bright lights are
detected from behind your vehicle. It will automatically return to normal
reflection when you select reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.
CHILDMINDER MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
On double bin overhead consoles, the conversation mirror allows the
driver to view the rear seating area.
WARNING:Do not use the childminder mirror to view rearward
traffic, do not allow rear passengers to distract you from the
driving task, and make sure the rear view mirror has a clear view of
rearward traffic. Failure to do so could increase the risk of a crash from
an unseen vehicle, which may result in serious injury.
Press the release area on the rear
edge of the bin door to open the
childminder mirror. The door will
open to full open position.
The rear view mirror may have to
be adjusted to its lower arm
position to prevent interference
when the childminder mirror is
extended down.

WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that you
use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
your 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.
WARNING:For safety reasons, do not connect or adjust the
settings on your portable music player while the vehicle is moving.
WARNING:Store the portable music player in a secure location,
such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is

stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury. The audio extension
cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
The auxiliary input jack (AIJ) allows
you to connect and play music from
your portable music player through
the vehicle speakers. You can use
any portable music player designed
for use with headphones. Your audio
extension cable must have male
18-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors
at each end.
1. Make sure the vehicle, radio and portable music player are turned off
and the transmission is in positionP.

Rear Heated Seats (if equipped)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
The rear seat heat controls are located on the rear of the center console.
The heated seats only operate when the ignition is on. To operate the
heated seats:
Press the heated seat button to cycle through the various
heat settings and off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
3rd Row Seats
