2022 FORD ESCAPE audio

If your vehicle is in any forward gear, the
front parking aid provides audible warnings
and visual indication when your vehicle is
moving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or
below and the system detects an object
within the detection zone. Once your
vehicle reaches a stop, the visual indication
and audio warning stops after a few
seconds.
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the front
and rear sensors provide visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving below a
speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and obstacles
are detected inside the detection areas.
Once your vehicle stops, the visual
indication and audio warning stops after
a few seconds.

WHAT IS THE BATTERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The battery management system monitors
battery conditions and takes actions to
extend battery life.
HOW DOES THE BATTERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WORK
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 could 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.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
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
could 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 could
adversely affect battery performance and
durability. This could also affect the
performance of other electrical systems in
the vehicle.
RESETTING THE BATTERY
SENSOR
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.
RECYCLING AND DISPOSING OF
THE 12V BATTERY
E107998
Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries.

AM/FM RADIO
AM/FM RADIO LIMITATIONS
The further you travel from an AM or FM
station, the weaker the signal and the
weaker the reception.
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.
When you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the
audio system muting.

DIGITAL RADIO
WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO
HD Radio™ technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio.
For additional information, visit
www
.HDRadio.com.
HD Radio Technology is manufactured
under license from iBiquity Digital
Corporation and foreign patents. HD Radio
and the HD and HD Radio logos are
proprietary trademarks of DTS. The vehicle
manufacturer and DTS are not responsible
for the content sent using HD Radio
technology. Content may be changed,
added or deleted at any time at the station
owner's discretion.
HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK
Your system has a special receiver that
allows it to receive digital broadcasts in
addition to analog broadcasts.
412
Audio System

HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in both analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations are
only available digitally and could contain
new or different content.
Note:When the system first receives an
HD1 station, it plays the station in the analog
version until it verifies the station is an HD
Radio station. Then it shifts to the digital
version.
Note: There is an audio mute delay when
switching to an HD2 or HD3 station because
the system has to reacquire and decode the
digital signal.
DIGITAL RADIO LIMITATIONS
If you are outside the reception area, the
system could not work.
If you are on the fringe of the reception
area, the station could mute due to weak
signal strength.
Note: If you are listening to HD1, the system
changes back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again. If
you are listening to any other multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays
muted unless it is able to connect to the
digital signal again.
Depending on the station quality, you could
hear a slight sound change when the
station changes between analog and
digital audio.
You cannot access a saved HD station if
your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.
SWITCHING DIGITAL RADIO
RECEPTION ON AND OFF
1. Access the vehicle drawer on the touchscreen.
2. Press SETTINGS.
3. Press Radio. 4. Switch HD Radio on or off.
DIGITAL RADIO INDICATORS
HD Radio Indicator
The indicator appears when HD Radio is
on and you tune to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology.
E142616
The color of the indicator changes to
indicate the system status.
Gray indicates the system is acquiring a
digital station.

Note: SiriusXM reserves the unrestricted
right to change, rearrange, add or delete
programming including canceling, moving
or adding particular channels, and its prices,
at any time, with or without notice to you.
Neither SiriusXM and its affiliates nor Ford
Motor Company and its affiliates will be
liable to you or any third party for any such
modification, suspension or termination.
SATELLITE RADIO LIMITATIONS
For optimal reception performance, keep
the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up
and keep luggage and other material as
far away from the antenna as possible.
Placing luggage over the antenna may
reduce performance. Factory-installed and
aftermarket vehicle structures including,
but not limited to, roof racks and soft top
roofs in a partially open position could
reduce reception performance.
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception. When you pass a ground-based
broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger
signal may overtake a weaker one and
could result in the audio system muting.
Your display could show an error message
to indicate the interference.
