2022 FORD BRONCO SPORT audio

throttle control and minimize speed
change over rough terrain. The steering
optimizes for less effort with reduced
kick-back. Rock crawl mode optimizes
braking for off-road conditions, allowing
quick path corrections and minimized
stopping distance when on deformable
surfaces. The engine sound enhances
when in rock crawl mode.
The rear differential lock feature enables
in rock crawl mode. When enabled it is
engaged below 30 mph (48 km/h). You
can disable the feature using the drive
mode controller.
Note: The front camera system switches
on when you are in rock crawl mode. You
can switch the camera off using the button
on the audio unit.
Note: This mode may help get your vehicle
unstuck from deep snow or sand.
Note: Do not use this mode on dry, hard
pavement. This could produce some
vibration, driveline bind up, and potential
excessive tire and vehicle wear depending
on the four-wheel drive mode selection.
SAND For more spirited off-road
driving. Sand mode is for
off-road driving on soft, dry sand
or deep conditions. Lower gears hold
longer in sand mode to maintain
momentum in soft conditions. Sand mode
engages the four-wheel drive lock, which
you can switch off using the drive mode
controller. Sand mode optimizes braking
for off-road conditions, allowing quick path
corrections and minimized stopping
distance when on deformable surfaces.
The engine sound enhances when in sand
mode. The rear differential lock feature enables
in sand mode. When enabled it is engaged
below
30 mph (48 km/h). You can disable
the feature using the drive mode controller.
Note: The front camera system switches
on when you are in sand mode. You can
switch the camera off using the button on
the audio unit.
Note: Using sand mode on dry, hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, potential excessive tire
wear and vehicle wear.
Note: Do not use on firm, slippery surfaces,
such as paved roads covered with snow or
ice or driving on packed snow. For slippery,
firm surfaces use slippery mode.
SLIPPERY For less than ideal road
conditions such as snow or ice
covered roads. You can use this
mode for crossing terrain where loose, wet
or slippery materials covers a firm surface.
Slippery mode lowers throttle response
and optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
The rear differential lock feature is
available in slippery mode. When enabled
it is engaged below
15 mph (24 km/h).
Note: Do not use this mode on dry, hard
pavement. This could produce some
vibration, driveline bind up, and potential
excessive tire and vehicle wear depending
on the four-wheel drive mode selection.

Note:
If you only disconnect the negative
battery cable terminal, make sure it is
isolated or placed away from the battery
terminal to avoid unintended connection or
arcing.
If you replace the battery make sure it
matches the electrical requirements of
your vehicle.
If you disconnect or replace the battery
and your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, it must relearn its adaptive
strategy. Because of this, the transmission
may shift firmly when first driven. This is
normal operation while the transmission
fully updates its operation to optimum
shift feel.
Battery Sensor Reset
When you install a new battery, reset the
battery sensor by doing the following:
1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the engine off.
Note: Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10
seconds.
2. Flash the high beam headlamps five times, ending with the high beams off.
3. Press and release the brake pedal three
times.
The battery warning lamp flashes three
times to confirm that the reset is
successful.
Battery Management System (If
Equipped)
The system monitors battery conditions
and takes actions to extend battery life. If
excessive battery drain is detected, the
system temporarily disables some
electrical systems to protect the battery.
Systems included are:
• Heated rear window.
• Heated seats. •
Climate control.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Audio unit.
• Navigation system.
A message may appear in the information
display to alert you that battery protection
actions are active. This message is only for
notification that an action is taking place,
and not intended to indicate an electrical
problem or that the battery requires
replacement.
After battery replacement, or in some
cases after charging the battery with an
external charger, the battery management
system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep
time to relearn the battery state of charge.
During this time, your vehicle must remain
fully locked with the ignition switched off.
Note: Prior to relearning the battery state
of charge, the battery management system
may temporarily disable some electrical
systems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery management
system works correctly, do not connect an
electrical device ground connection
directly to the battery negative post. This
can cause inaccurate measurements of
the battery condition and potential
incorrect system operation.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect battery performance and durability.
This may also affect the performance of
other electrical systems in the vehicle.
Remove and Reinstall the Battery
Install a battery approved for use by our
specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 336).
To disconnect or remove the battery, do

Radio Frequencies and Reception
Factors
Note: Listening to loud audio for long
periods of time could damage your hearing. Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an AM or FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in the audio system muting.
Station overload

DIGITAL RADIO (IF EQUIPPED)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
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 HD Radio logo on your
screen. 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.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you
can access the following functions:
•
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 the accuracy of all audio
streams and data fields.
