INTRODUCTION
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.
Note:Some features are not available while the vehicle is moving.
Note:Your system is equipped with a feature that allows you to access
and control audio features for 30 minutes after the ignition has been
turned off (as long as no doors are opened).
This system uses a four-corner strategy to provide quick access to vehicle
features and settings. The comprehensive touchscreen provides easy
interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia, climate control and
navigation system. The corners display any active modes within those
menus, such as your phone being connected or the climate temperature.
