GENERAL INFORMATION
The system has many features
including a full range of audio and
climate control functions. To access
these functions, press the relevant
button on the unit bezel. This will take
you into the selected mode.
One hour mode
To conserve battery power, the
system can be operated in one hour
mode. If the ignition is off, press the
ON/OFF button to switch on the
system. The system will automatically
switch off again after one hour if not
switched off by the user.
System notes
The Ford Navigation System is
recommended for use when the
ignition key is turned to the accessory
position, or when the engine is
running. If the system is used
extensively when the engine is not
running, care needs to be taken to
avoid draining the battery.
To clean the navigation system,
please use a soft cloth that is moist,
but not wet. Do not use any liquid or
aerosol cleaning agents.
WARNING
The front glass on the liquid
crystal display may break when
hit with a hard surface. If the glass
breaks, do not touch the liquid
crystalline material. In case of contact
with skin, wash immediately with
soap and water.
The Ford Navigation System is a
highgrade laser product which uses
a visible laser beam. If this is handled
incorrectly it can emit dangerous
rays. Do not attempt to look through
any openings in the equipment into
the interior.

Navigation introduction
CAUTION
Do not clean the system with
solvents or aerosol cleaning
agents. Use only a damp cloth.
Do not apply excessive force to the
screen.
Do not insert foreign objects into any
of the system disc drives or media
card slots.
Do not insert more than one disc into
the navigation system disc drive.
Use only 12 cm discs, or 8 cm discs
with a suitable adaptor.
Do not attempt to open up the
device itself – your Ford Dealer will be
happy to assist you if the equipment
should develop any faults.
Improper use of other settings and
connections than those presented
here can cause damage to the
equipment.
Do not turn the ignition key or start
the engine while the software is
updating.
ROAD SAFETY
WARNING
The Ford Navigation System
provides you with information
designed to help you reach your
destination quickly and safely. For
reasons of safety, the driver should
only program the system when the
vehicle is stationary.
The Ford Navigation System provides
no assistance with respect to stop
signs, traffic lights, areas under
construction or other important
safety information. This always
remains the personal responsibility
of the driver.
Do not use the system until you have
familiarised yourself with its operation.
While driving under route guidance,
only follow an instruction when it is
safe to do so, as the system cannot
be aware of changing conditions, for
example turn restrictions, roadworks
or diversions. Use voice guidance as
much as possible, and only view the
display when driving conditions
permit.
The road safety caution is displayed
each time the ignition is switched on,
and the navigation system is
selected. To use the system, read
the caution and touch ‘Ok’.

Navigation introduction
Functions available whilst
driving
For safety reasons, not all functions
may be available whilst the vehicle is
on the move.
The driver must not attempt to
operate any detailed operation of the
navigation system while the vehicle
is in motion. Give full attention to
driving and to the road. Pull off the
road and park in a safe place before
performing detailed operations.
Safety information
Please read and follow all stated
safety precautions. Failure to do so
may increase your risk of collision and
personal injury. Ford Motor Company
shall not be liable for any damages
of any type arising from failure to
follow these guidelines.
The navigation system is not a
substitute for your personal
judgement.
Route suggestions should not
supersede local traffic regulations or
safe driving practices.
Do not follow route suggestions if
they direct you to perform an unsafe
or illegal manoeuver, would place you
in an unsafe situation, or would route
you into an area that you consider
unsafe.
Let the voice guide you. If detailed
viewing is necessary, pull off the road
to a safe location.
Do not use the navigation system to
locate emergency services.
The map database does not reflect
road detours, closures or
construction, road characteristics
such as rough road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions,
traffic congestion, weather or similar
conditions.
To use the system as effectively and
safely as possible, obtain updates to
the map database whenever they
become available.

Navigation introduction
The Ford Navigation System has a
large range of features, yet is easy
and intuitive to use. Route guidance
can be given by voice prompts and
is also shown on the display screen.
The screen provides full information
for operating the system through the
use of menus, text screens and map
displays. Screen selections are made
by touching the required button on
the screen.
Basic touchscreen
operation
There are some common basic
methods of entering data and making
option selections. These are briefly
described below.
Selection lists
B DCA
E88721
Back/return buttonA
Selection list buttonsB
Further informationC
Scroll bar movement arrow
buttons.
D
Various screens are presented which
offer a selection list of available
options. Press the option which you
require, or if it is not shown on the
screen you may need to scroll the
selection using the up/down arrow
buttons to the right of the display.
Press the back button to return to
the last screen.
Note:
You can press and hold the
up/down arrow button for continuous
scrolling if required.
Some options within a list have text
that does not fit completely on the
button. In these cases a separate
button is shown next to the main
button. This button has three dots
and when selected provides more
details.
Alphanumeric keypad entry
E88722
When it is necessary to enter an
address, a keypad will appear
prompting you to enter a postcode,
city, or street. Press the letter and
number digits to spell your entry. The
system will limit your entries to only
those characters which spell a valid
entry. It will automatically predict your
entry if possible so it will not always
be necessary to enter the full details.
6
Navigation Quick start
As you spell the entry the results will
appear in the top line. Once the
desired entry is shown press OK. If
only part of the name appears
highlighted you can press LIST and
this will show a selection list screen
showing all available entries which
match. Select your required entry
from this list.
If there is more than one entry with
the exact same name a selection list
will appear showing the various
different options.
Note:
You may also press the MAP
button to display each option
represented on a map.
Select the correct option.
Return to previous screen
display
Touch the back button to return to
the previously displayed screen. This
is a useful button if you need to only
go back one step. The back button
may appear on many different
screens and will always be on the left
side of the screen display.
Route setting example
This is a simple example explaining
how to use the basic features of the
system to set a route. For information
relating to the other features of the
system, see the relevant section in
this guide.
Please follow this step by step
procedure to familiarise yourself with
the system.

button first, select the country
followed by either postcode if
available or city and street name. Use
the alphanumeric keypad and
selection lists to select your address
details.
7
Navigation Quick start
Once enough information has been
entered touch the CALCULATE
button to proceed.
Note:
If you only need to navigate
to a city centre for example, full
address details are not required.
Touch the CALCULATE button
once it becomes available.
The route is now calculated and the
screen returns to the main navigation
screen with instructions on how to

this feature and your vehicle does not
need to be moving to begin a route.

system will operate normally using
the GPS sensor and display the
true vehicle position.
•
Select ONCE to enable and run
through a simulated route
guidance plan one time only.

reception to broadcast news bulletins
from stations on the FM waveband,
in the same way as traffic information
is provided. News interrupts are
broadcast at the same preset volume
level as traffic announcements. You
can turn this on and off.
