RADIO FREQUENCIES

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (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, the weaker 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 signal may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

CASSETTE/PLAYER CARE

Do:

  • Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
  • Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
  • Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
  • Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
  • Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10–12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.

Don't:

  • Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.
  • Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being played.

30

Entertainment Systems

CD/CD PLAYER CARE

Do:

  • Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
  • Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out.

Don't:

  • Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods of time.
  • Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.
  • Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your dealer for further information.

AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTY AND SERVICE

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

Climate Controls

HEATER ONLY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

  1. Fan speed adjustment: Controls the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
  2. Temperature selection: Controls the temperature of the airflow in the vehicle.
  3. Air flow selections: Controls the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control.

Figure from the manual

: Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.

: Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents and the floor vents.

O (OFF): Outside air is shut out and the climate system is turned off.

: Distributes outside air through the floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice.

OPERATING TIPS

• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place the air flow selector in the position.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the air flow to the back seats.

• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive in the OFF position.

• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the airflow selector in OFF. This allows the vehicle to breathe using the outside air inlets.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:

  1. Select .

  2. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

  3. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.

  1. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows. To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents located in the middle of the instrument panel.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

  1. Temperature selection: Controls the temperature of the airflow in the vehicle.
  2. Air flow selections: Controls the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control.

MAX A/C (if equipped): Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel vents and center console vents (if equipped) to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents and center console vents (if equipped).

: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents, center console vents (if equipped) and the floor vents.

O (OFF): Outside air is shut out and the climate system is turned off.

: Distributes air through the floor vents.

: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.

  1. Rear defrost (if equipped): Press to defrost the rear window. Refer to Rear Window Defrost for more information.

  • To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the airflow selector in the OFF or with recirculated air engaged.
  • Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the airflow to the back seats.
  • Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield.
  • To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been "aired out."

For maximum cooling performance (Max A/C):

Max A/C mode:

  • Move the temperature control to the coolest setting.
  • Set the fan to the highest speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
