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 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.

(Defrost) – Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
Operating tips
In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in Defrost mode before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather conditions,
don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF position.
Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in any position other than the MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet duct.
Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from contamination of outside pollutants.
If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate control system as desired.
Do not put objects under the front seat which may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can block airflow and reduce visibility through your windshield. Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition to, damaging the climate control system.

MIRRORS Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may impair proper mirror performance.
Press the control to turn the mirror OFF or AUTO. The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a bright clear view when backing up.
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant changes in the local magnetic field are experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are placed very near the compass the display will change to “C” for 15 seconds, then display all segments until the magnetized item is removed. If a “C” is displayed, refer to Compass calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

These objects and devices cannot damage the coded key, but can cause a momentary NO—START condition if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make sure the coded key is an approved Ford coded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen you will need to do the following:
Use your spare key to start the
vehicle, or
Have your vehicle towed to a
dealership or locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new key codes will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correct coded key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “NO-START” condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a “NO START” condition.

Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only SecuriLocky keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the first coded key, insert the second previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and remove the second coded key from the ignition.
5. Within 20 seconds of removing the second coded key, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4 (ON) for at least one second). This step will program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure from step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator will flash on and off and you may repeat steps 1 through 6. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the new spare key(s) programmed.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL key fobs (remote entry transmitters) are brought to the dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the headlamps and/or parking lamps, and will chirp the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
Press the remote entry lock
control (doors opened or closed).
Press 7/8 and 9/0 controls on the
keyless entry pad at the same time to lock the doors (doors opened or closed).
Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock the doors. There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes ARMED. Each door/hood or liftgate (wagon) arm individually, and if any
door/hood or liftgate (wagon) is open, then it must be closed for it to be armed.

When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that all doors/hood and liftgate (wagon) are closed.
If the doors/hood or liftgate (wagon) are not closed and you press the remote entry transmitter twice to confirm the doors are locked, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a door/hood or liftgate (wagon) is still open.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
Unlock the doors by using your
remote entry transmitter.
Unlock the doors by using your
keyless entry pad.
Unlock the doors or liftgate with a key. Turn the key full travel
(toward the front of the vehicle) to make sure the alarm disarms.
