Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause the 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 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.

its proper level the gauge indication will not be
accurate.
Engine oil pressure gauge
Indicates engine oil
pressure. At normal
operating temperature,
the needle will be in
the normal range (the area between the “L” and
“H”); if the needle goes below the normal range,
stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and
switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil
level. Add oil if needed (refer to Engine oil in the
Maintenance and specifications chapter). If the oil
level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your

MP3 file directory structure
The MACHt MP3 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 wtihin that
directory.
• Creating discs with only one level of
subdirectories will help with navigation through
the disc files.

CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12cm 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 marker rather than adhesive
labels. Please contact your dealer for further
information.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE CD PLAYER
(IF EQUIPPED)
The laser beam used in the compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.
62
Page 63
Entertainment Systems
If sound skips:
• You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
• A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
a disc.
• The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
• The disc is dusty or defective.
• The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C
(140°F). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
• A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS
The MACHt MP3 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
56–320 kbps, as well as variable bit rate MP3 files,
but lower bit rates will have a noticeable effect on
63
Page 64
Entertainment Systems
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
64
Page 65
Entertainment Systems
• Do not disassemble the player. The laser used in
disc playback is extremely harmful to the eyes.
Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or
sized) discs, or discs with removable labels into
the CD player as jamming may occur. Damage
incurred by adhesive materials of any kind or
non-standard discs may void the warranty.
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.
65
Page 66
Entertainment Systems
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 vehicle’s 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.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules
and with RS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired

between the two halves
of the transmitter near
the key ring. DO NOT
TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER
APART.
2. Place the positive
(+) side of new batteries down. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
