DATA RECORDING

Service Data RecordingService data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting andstoring diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentiallyincludes information about the performance or status of various systemsand modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brakesystems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, FordMotor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities mayaccess or share among them vehicle diagnostic information receivedthrough a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicingyour vehicle. For U.S. only (if equipped), if you choose to use the SYNC�Vehicle Health Report, you consent that certain diagnostic informationmay also be accessed electronically by Ford Motor Company and Fordauthorized service facilities, and that the diagnostic information may beused for any purpose. See your SYNC� supplement for more information.

Event Data RecordingThis vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). Themain purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or nearcrash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting aroad obstacle; this data will assist in understanding how avehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record datarelated to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short periodof time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;• Whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the acceleratorand/or the brake pedal; and

• How fast the vehicle was travelling; and• Where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.This data can help provide a better understanding of thecircumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivialcrash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR undernormal driving conditions and no personal data or information(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded (see

Introduction

limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions andInformation privacy below). However, parties, such as lawenforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinely acquired during a crashinvestigation.To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,that have such special equipment, can read the information ifthey have access to the vehicle or the EDR. Ford Motor Companyand Ford of Canada do not access event data recorderinformation without obtaining consent, unless pursuant to courtorder or where required by law enforcement, other governmentauthorities or other third parties acting with lawful authority.Other parties may seek to access the information independentlyof Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to EventData Recorders applies to SYNC� or its features, please note thefollowing: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone, discloseto emergency services that the vehicle has been in a crashinvolving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain vehicles, theactivation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain versions or updatesto 911 Assist may also be capable of being used to electronicallyor verbally provide to 911 operators the vehicle location (such aslatitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle orcrash or personal information about the occupants to assist 911operators to provide the most appropriate emergency services. Ifyou do not want to disclose this information, do not activate the911 Assist feature. See your SYNC� supplement for moreinformation.

Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions andInformation (if equipped, U.S. only) the service uses GPStechnology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’scurrent location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travelinformation”) only to help provide you with the directions, trafficreports, or business searches your request. If you do not wantFord or its vendors to receive this information, do not activatethe service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses toprovide you with this information do not store your vehicle travelinformation. For more information, see Traffic, Directions andInformation, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNC� supplementfor more information.

Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches thelevel of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between theAUX and FM or CD controls.Troubleshooting:1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line leveloutputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are notcompatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devicesthat have a headphone output with a volume control.2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than isnecessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audiosystem as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Manyportable music players have different output levels, so not all playersshould be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at fullvolume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.

3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn theportable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace orrecharge the batteries in the portable music player.

4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same mannerwhen it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.

5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on yourportable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle ismoving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a securelocation, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle isin motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow theportable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies:

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors:

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:

• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, theweaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signalmay overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequencyis displayed.

CD/CD player care

Do:

• Handle discs by their edges only.(Never touch the playingsurface).

• Inspect discs before playing.• Clean only with an approved CD

cleaner.


28


• Wipe discs from the center out.

Don’t:

• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periodsof time.

• Clean using a circular motion.CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in(12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technicalincompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compactdiscs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players.

Do not use any irregular shapedCDs or discs with a scratchprotection film attached.

CDs with homemade paper(adhesive) labels should not beinserted into the CD player asthe label may peel and cause theCD to become jammed. It isrecommended that homemadeCDs be identified withpermanent felt tip marker ratherthan adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Pleasecontact your authorized dealer for further information.

Audio system warranty and service

Refer to the Warranty Guide/Customer Information Guide for audiosystem warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer orqualified technician.

Operating your audio system with MP3-formatted discs

Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 discs upon insertion and provides youwith two ways to listen to these discs:

• Flat file mode– This mode ignores any folders on the discs and playsall MP3 files found in any folder on the disc exactly as if there wereno folders on the disc.

When in flat file mode press / to access the previous/nexttrack.

• Directory mode– This mode finds all of the folders on the disc andthen allows you to pick any folder on the disc and play only the MP3files in that folder.

When in directory mode press / to access the previous/nextMP3 file in the current folder only.

To change directories (folders), press MENU and then press /to select the desired directory (folder).

Changing between flat file mode and directory mode

Your radio MP3 system will default to directory mode when an MP3 discis first inserted. When the MP3 system is in directory mode, the DIRicon will be illuminated on the radio display.

• To change from directory mode to flat file mode while playing an MP3CD: Press MENU until the radio display reads Directory. Thenpress . The display will change from DIR to Flat File. The MP3system is now in flat file mode.

• To change from flat file mode to directory mode while playing an MP3CD: Press MENU until the radio display reads Flat File. Thenpress . The display will change from Flat File to DIR. The MP3system is now in directory mode.

MP3 track and folder structure

Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 individual tracks and folder structureas follows:

• There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 directorymode (system default) and MP3 flat file mode. For more informationon directory and flat file mode, refer to Sample MP3 structurefollowing.


30


• MP3 flat file mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. Theplayer numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 fileextension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.Note: The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be lessdepending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radiopresent.

• MP3 directory mode represents a folder structure consisting of onelevel 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 will help with navigationthrough the disc files.

Sample MP3 structure

If you are burning your own MP3discs, it is important to understandhow the system will read thestructures you create. While variousfiles may be present, (files withextensions other than mp3), onlyfiles with the .mp3 extension will beplayed. Other files will be ignoredby the system. This enables you touse the same MP3 disc for a varietyof tasks on your work computer,home computer and your in vehiclesystem.

In flat file mode, the system will display and play the structure as if itwere only one level deep (all .mp3 files will be played, regardless ofbeing in a specific folder. In directory mode, the system will only playthe .mp3 files in the current folder.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed before leaving theassembly plant. If your vehicle is involved in an accident or if you haveproblems fixing the alignment of your headlamps, have them checked bya qualified service technician.

Headlamp aim adjustment

The headlamps are designed to be mechanically aimed, but can also beaimed visually by doing the following:

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) awayfrom a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment atnight or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern.

• (1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)• (2) Center height of lamp to

ground

• (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)• (4) Horizontal reference line• (5) Center of headlamps• (6) Center line of the vehicle2. The center of the headlamp ismarked either on the lens (a circleor cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark orfeature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to theground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on thewall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).

Lights

3. Turn on the low beam headlampsand open the hood.

4. Locate the high intensity area ofthe beam pattern and place the topedge of the intensity zone even withthe horizontal reference line (4). Ifthe top edge of the high intensityarea is not even with the horizontalline, follow the next step to adjustit.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster foreach headlamp. Adjust the aim byturning the adjuster control eitherclockwise (to adjust down) orcounterclockwise (to adjust up).

6. In addition to the horizontal linemarked in step 2, a pair of verticallines (5) must be marked at thecenter line of the headlamps on thewall or screen.

7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beampattern. The left edge of the high intensity area should be even with thevertical line corresponding to the headlamp under adjustment. If the leftedge of the high intensity area is not even with the vertical line, followthe next step to adjust it.

8. Locate the horizontal adjuster foreach headlamp. Turn it clockwise orcounterclockwise, to place the leftedge of the high intensity area evenwith the vertical line correspondingto the headlamp under adjustment.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Lamp assembly condensationExterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist airenters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of thelens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents duringnormal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dryweather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

• Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets)• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens

Lights

42


Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp waterleak) are:• Water puddle inside the lamp• Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of

the lensTake your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions ofunacceptable moisture are present.

Using the right bulbsReplacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbsmust be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and patternand safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assemblyor void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burntime.

SECURILOCK� PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

SecuriLock� passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilizationsystem. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from beingstarted unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. Theuse of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.

Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may bepurchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer canprogram your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keysyourself. Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how toprogram the coded key.

Note: The SecuriLock� passive anti-theft system is not compatible withnon-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems mayresult in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used topurchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the samekey chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent theseobjects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. Theseobjects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause amomentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting theengine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects onthe key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Alwaystake your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
