Always dispose of automotive batteries
in a responsible manner. Follow your
local authorized standards for disposal.
Call your local authorized recycling
center to find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
Battery Management System (If
Equipped)
The battery management system (BMS)
monitors battery conditions and takes
actions to extend battery life. If excessive
battery drain is detected, the system may
temporarily disable certain electrical features
to protect the battery. Those electrical
accessories affected include the rear defrost,
heated/cooled seats, climate control fan,
heated steering wheel, audio and navigation
system. A message may be shown in the
information displays to alert the driver that
battery protection actions are active. These
messages are only for notification that an
action is taking place, and not intended to
indicate an electrical problem or that the
battery requires replacement.
Electrical accessory installation
To ensure proper operation of the Battery
Management System, any electrical devices
that are added to your vehicle should not
have their ground connection made directly
at the negative battery post. A connection at
the negative battery post can cause
inaccurate measurements of the battery
condition and potential incorrect system
operation.
Note:
Electrical or electronic accessories
added to your vehicle by the dealer or the
owner, may adversely affect battery
performance and durability, and may affect
the performance of other electrical systems
in your vehicle.
When a battery replacement is required, the
battery should only be replaced with a
Ford-recommended replacement battery
that matches the electrical requirements of
your vehicle. After battery replacement, or in
some cases after charging the battery with
the external charger, the Battery
Management System requires eight hours of
vehicle sleep time (key off with doors closed)
to relearn the new battery state of charge.
Prior to relearning the state of charge, the
Battery Management System may disable
electrical features (to protect the battery)
earlier than normal. CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or
water applied with a soft sponge or cloth.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiper arms can be manually moved
when the ignition is off. This allows for ease
of blade replacement and cleaning under the
blades.
1. Pull the wiper blade and arm away from
the glass.

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 individual tracks and folder
structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
disc playback: MP3 track mode (system
default) and MP3 folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder
structure on the MP3 disc. The player
numbers each MP3 track on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3 files
may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio
present. •
MP3 folder mode represents a folder
structure consisting of one level of
folders. The CD player numbers all MP3
tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) and all folders containing MP3
files, from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to
F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through the
disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is
important to understand how the system
reads the structures you create. While various
files may be present, (files with extensions
other than mp3), only files with the .mp3
extension are played; other files are ignored
by the system. This enables you to use the
same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your
work computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays and plays
the structure as if it were only one level deep
(all .mp3 files play, regardless of being in a
specific folder). In folder mode, the system
only plays the .mp3 files in the current folder. AUDIO UNIT WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and injury.
We strongly recommend that you use
extreme caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe operation
of your vehicle. We recommend against the
use of any hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated systems
when possible. Make sure you are aware of
all applicable local laws that may affect the
use of electronic devices while driving. Note:
The MyLincoln Touch system controls
most of the audio features. See
Entertainment (page 325).

This system uses a four-corner strategy to
provide quick access to several vehicle
features and settings. The touchscreen

Note: Some features are not available while
your vehicle is moving.
Note: Your system is equipped with a feature
that allows you to access and control audio
features for 30 minutes after you switch the
ignition off (and no doors open).

Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone to SYNC,
the system creates a profile within your
vehicle that links to that cellular phone. This
profile helps in offering you more cellular
features and operating more efficiently.
Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cellular phone book, text
messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell phone
was not connected to the system. In addition,
if you connect a media device, the system
creates and retains an index of supported media content. The system also records a
short development log of approximately 10
minutes of all recent system activity. The
system uses a log profile and other data to
improve the system and help diagnose any
problems that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and
development log remain in your vehicle
unless you delete them and are generally
accessible only in your vehicle when the
cellular phone or media player is connected.
If you no longer plan to use the system or your
vehicle, we recommend you perform a Master
Reset to erase all stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without
special equipment and access to your
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor Company
and Ford of Canada do not access the system
data for any purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or where
required by law enforcement, other
government authorities, or other third parties
acting with lawful authority. Other parties
may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada. For further privacy
information, see the sections on 911 Assist,
Vehicle Health Report, and Traffic, Directions
and Information.

provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode has
less audible interaction and more tone
prompts.

your voice request. If switched off, the
system simply makes a best guess as to
what you requested. The system may still
occasionally ask you to confirm settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of possible results
from your voice commands. The system
creates these lists when it has the same
confidence level of several options based
on your voice command.
To access these settings using the
touchscreen:
