MKC (TME), enUSA MyLincoln Touch™

HD Radio technology is the digital evolution
of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a
special receiver that allows it to receive
digital broadcasts (where available) in
addition to the analog broadcasts, it already
receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts with
free, crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a guide
to available stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen:
The HD Radio logo either blinks when
acquiring a digital station, and then stays
solid when digital audio is playing, or is grey
when acquiring a digital station, and then
changes to orange when digital audio is
playing. When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
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.
TAG 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 > 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
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 broa\
dcast 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 analo\
g
to digital. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sound or digita\
l back to analog sound.

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 recircula\
tes. 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 (or
be prevented from turning on) 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 i\
nstrument panel air vents, the air conditioning
automatically turns on, the driver and passenger temperatures are set to\
LO and the 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. In certain conditions,
the air conditioning compressor may still operate even though the A/C bu\
tton is off.
F
AUTO:
Touch to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired temperatur\
e using the temperature control. The system
automatically adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and ou\
tside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain
the selected temperature.
G
Rear defrost:
Touch to switch the rear window defroster and heated mirrors (if equippe\
d) on or off.
H
MAX defrost:
Touch to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice. The driver and passenger temperatures set to HI, outside air
distributes through the windshield vents, the air conditioning automatic\
ally turns on and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest
speed. The heated rear window automatically turns on when you switch on \
MAX defrost and you will be unable to select recirculated
air (to prevent fogging).

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.

and you do not press the Start Route button,
the system defaults to the Fastest Route
option and begins guidance.
During route guidance, you can press the
talking bubble icon that appears in the upper

the system to repeat route guidance
information. When the system repeats the
last guidance instruction, it updates the
distance to the next guidance instruction,
since it detects when the vehicle is moving.
