The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The highlighted numbers
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.
Other multicast stations (HD2 through
HD7) are only available digitally.
TA G allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the
feature is on. To turn the feature on
and use it:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TA G
Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TA G .
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when you
connect it to the system. The
system automatically transfers the
tag to your player (if already
connected) 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,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions:
• Scan allows you to hear a brief
sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD
Radio reception is on, although it
does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital
broadcast.
• Memory presets allow you to
save an active channel as a
memory preset. Touch and hold a
memory preset slot until the sound
returns. There is a brief mute while
the radio saves the station. Sound
returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3
memory preset, the sound mutes
before the digital audio plays,
because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
Note: 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.
Reception area
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.
When the system first receives a station (aside from
HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the
station in the analog version. Once 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. Blending
is the shift from analog to digital sound or digital
back to analog sound.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, use the contact form to
report any station issues found while
listening to a station broadcasting
with HD Radio technology.
Independent entities own and operate
each station. These stations are
responsible for ensuring all audio
streams and data fields are accurate.

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 you select recirculated air, 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 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. The system distributes recirculated air
through the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning automatically
turns on and fan speed adjusts to the highest speed. This re-cooling
of the interior is more economical and efficient than normal A/C.
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.
G
Rear defroster: Touch to turn the rear window defroster and heated
mirrors (if equipped).

following:
Destination
My Home
Favorites
Previous Destinations Point of InterestEmergency
Street Address IntersectionCity Center Map
Edit Route Cancel Route 1. Enter the necessary information
into the highlighted text fields (in
any order). For address destination
entry, the Go! button appears once
you enter all the necessary
information. Pressing the Go!
button makes the address location
appear on the map. If you choose
Previous Destination , the last 20
destinations you have selected
appear.
2. Select Set as Dest to make this your destination. You can also
choose to set this as a waypoint
(have the system route to this
point on the way to your current
destination) or save it as a favorite.
The system considers any Avoid
Areas selections in its route
calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, and then select
Start Route.
• Fastest: Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
• Shortest: Uses the shortest distance possible.
• Eco Route: Uses the most fuel-efficient route.
You can cancel the route or have the
system demo the route for you. Select
Route Prefs to set route preferences
like avoiding freeways, tollroads,
ferries and car trains as well as to use
or not use high-occupancy vehicle
lanes. (High-occupancy vehicle lanes
are also known as carpool or diamond
lanes. People who ride in buses,
vanpools or carpools use these lanes.)

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.
