WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have
the respective system inspected immediately.
Check engine
Illuminates briefly to ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted and will not require towing.
Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light
CHECK
ENGINE
10
Page 11
Instrument Cluster
should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.
If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Light is blinking:
Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
Check gage
Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high, the engine oil pressure is low or the fuel gauge is at or near empty. Refer to Engine
coolant temperature gauge, Engine oil pressure gauge or Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information.
Brake system warning
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles
when the ignition is moved from the ON position to START position, the light will momentarily illuminate prior to reaching the START position).
It also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate as described, seek service immediately. Illumination after the parking brake is released indicates low brake fluid level or a brake system malfunction and the brake system should be serviced immediately by a qualified technician.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
To confirm the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light is functional it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON position to the START position, the light will momentarily illuminate just prior to reaching the START position). If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the ABS serviced immediately. If the ABS light remains on, it means the anti-lock brake system has malfunctioned and is disabled, however, the normal brake system will still function unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated and parking brake is off. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.
Safety belt
ABS
Illuminates to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.
Air bag readiness
Illuminates to confirm that the air bags (front or side) are operational. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.
Charging system
Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.

Check fuel cap
Instrument Cluster
Illuminates when the fuel cap is not installed correctly. Check the fuel cap for proper installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, or a mis-installed fuel cap can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine warning light.
It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap.
For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

MP3 file directory structure
The MACHMP3 music system recognizes MP3 disc file and directory (folder) structure as follows:
There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3 directory mode.
MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structure present on the MP3 disc. The player sequentially numbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted by the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.
MP3 directory mode represents a directory structure consisting of one level of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3 extension) and all directories containing MP3 files, from 01–01 to 99–99. The first two digits denote the directory number and the last two digits denote the
track number within that directory.
Creating discs with only one level of subdirectories will help with navigation through the disc files.

Saving and naming MP3 files
Your MACHMP3 music system supports discs containing up to 255 files in 255 directories. Discs containing more than 255 files will not play.
Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly and damage may occur to the player or your sound system.
The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
When burning a disc, ensure that you close/finalize the disc before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error message may appear.
The player supports DAM (Digital Automatic Music) discs.
Sample hierarchies
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand how the MACHMP3 music system will read the hierarchies you create. This is an example of creating a directory structure that is one level deep with various types of music. While various files are present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension will be played. Other files will be 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 MACHMP3 music system.
42
Page 43
Entertainment Systems
This hierarchy is an example of a more complex directory structure. While you are capable of setting up many directory levels when burning a CD, the MACHMP3 music system will display the structure as if it were only one level deep. Therefore, the system will condense the complex hierarchy into a structure similar to the one-level-deep example above. This will not harm the MP3 disc and will not change the hierarchy that is actually written on the disc. Only mp3 files will be played, files with other extensions will be skipped.

CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not use circular motion.
MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS
The MACHMP3 music system is designed for use with CD-DA (regular audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660 and Joliet standards.
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
Disc capacity Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity. We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of storage.
Disc type Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto CD-R discs.
Disc finalization The disc may be left open for the purpose of adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session or the disc will not play.
Bit rate The player supports bit rates from 56320 kbps, as well as variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files using a high quality encoder.
PC configuration Encoding MP3 files requires intensive use of your computer’s resources. Follow the PC configuration recommendations of the encoder software vendor. We recommend that you avoid running other software applications on your PC during MP3 encoding to avoid undesirable noise and distortion.
CD, MP3 AND CD PLAYER CARE
Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of the CD player (if equipped).
Always store discs out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat may damage or warp discs.
72
Page 73
Entertainment Systems
Use care when handling and playing CD-R and CD-RW discs, which are more susceptible to damage from heat, light and stress than are regular CDs.
Always insert and remove a disc by holding the disc flat, with the playing surface facing down, in order to prevent damage to the disc or the player.
Never insert any object other than a compact disc into the player, as doing so may damage the player and may cause injury to you.
Do not disassemble the player. The laser used in disc playback is extremely harmful to the eyes.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75 in) 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.
CLEANING CASSETTE PLAYER (IF EQUIPPED)
Clean the tape player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after 10 to 12 hours of play in order to maintain the best sound and operation.
CASSETTE AND CASSETTE PLAYER CARE
Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme heat or
extreme cold. Allow tapes that may have been exposed to extreme temperatures to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole and turning the hub.
Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
Do not leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not
being played.

RADIO FREQUENCY INFORMATION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are:
AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz
FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Not all frequencies are used in a given area.
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
Three factors can affect radio reception:
Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by signal modulation.Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.
Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicles antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its shadow) returns your reception to normal.
Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.
The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.
