The 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.
TAG 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 Button > 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 as a reminder.
The system allows you to tag up
to approximately 100 songs. For a
list of devices that support tagging,
refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following

Scan
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is
activated, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the
station has a digital broadcast.
When the channel is active on-screen, press and
hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute, then the sound returns signi-
fying it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again
acquire the digital signal. As with any saved radio
station, you cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station's reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station
may mute due to weak signal strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back
to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast
is available again. However, if you are listening to
any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels,
the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able
to connect to the digital signal again.
Reception area
When a station is first received (aside from HD2-
HD7 multicast stations), the system first plays the
station in the analog version and then, if the receiver
verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts
to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when
the station changes from analog to digital. This shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to
analog, is known as blending.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues
found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Every station is
independently owned and operated.
These stations are responsible for
ensuring all audio streams and data
fields are accurate.

Power: Touch to turn the climate control system on and off. When
the system is off, outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.
A
Passenger settings:
Touch DUAL to switch passenger side
temperature controls on and off. Touch the + and - to adjust the
temperature. Touch the heated seat icon to control the heated seat
(if equipped). Touch the cooled seat icon to control the cooled seat
(if equipped).
B
Fan speed:
Touch + or - to increase or decrease the volume of air
circulated in your vehicle.
C
Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When recirculated air is selected, the button illuminates
and the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C)
and may also reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
D
MAX A/C:
Touch to switch on. Recirculated air is distributed through
the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning is automatically adjusted
to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical and efficient.
E
A/C:
Touch to turn air conditioning on or off. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve
cooling performance and efficiency.
F
AUTO:
Touch to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected
temperature.

Rear defroster:
Touch to turn the rear window defroster and heated
mirrors (if equipped).

Route Prefs to set route preferences
like avoiding freeways, toll roads,
ferries and car trains as well as to use
or not use HOV lanes. (HOV lanes are
High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes also
known as carpool or diamond lanes.
These lanes are reserved for people
who ride in buses, vanpools or
carpools.)
Note:
If Start Route button is not
pressed and the vehicle is driven on a
recognized road, the system defaults
to the fastest route option and begins
guidance.
During route guidance, the talking
bubble icon that appears in the upper
right navigation corner (green bar) can
be pressed if the user wants the
system to repeat a route guidance
instruction. Instructions decrease with
each press.

Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and,
by itself, does not necessarily indicate
a concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert,
such as the factory-trained
technicians at your dealership, should
inspect discolored fluids that also
show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s
oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a
repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems
are flushed only with new fluid that is
the same as that required to fill and
operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following
basic maintenance checks and
inspections every month or at six
month intervals. Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level. Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.
