Introduction

MOBILE MEDIA NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with a mobile media navigation system which allows you to listen to, record and save music, play DVDs (audio and video), navigate the vehicle and operate climate control functions (if equipped).
Your system has a large range of features, yet is easy to use. The display screen is the primary means for operating the system through the use of its vertically tabbed menus, text screens and menu displays. Screen selections are made by touching the desired area on the touchscreen. The “tabs” along the left side of the screen represent the major components of the system. The status bars at the top and bottom of the screen will display for the majority of the time once the system is turned on and ready for operation. The top status bar will contain menu names, icons, and a clock. The lower status bar contains climate information (if equipped), icons and advisory messages. Please refer to Status bars in the System Overview chapter for more information. Navigation guidance is shown on the touchscreen display and is supplemented with voice prompts.

VOICE RECOGNITION

Your vehicle may be equipped with an advanced interactive Voice Recognition (VR) system. This system allows you to perform many operations such as operating the navigation, audio, phone (if equipped), media, climate (if equipped), display and voice settings by “speaking” certain commands. The system will respond with a series of audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of dialogue interaction.

Feedback through audible tones

Your VR system will respond through various audible tones. You may hear a tone at the following times:
When you press VOICE or
When you access the help feature.
When the VR system does not understand your request
When a VR session is completed successfully
When a VR session is ended unsuccessfully
When a speed dependent feature has been accessed
When a new device is connected
The navigation system has five different audible tones that will play depending on the circumstance.
Initial: Sounds when you are entering a new mode.
Positive: Sounds for a positive recognition or a successful VR session
completion.
Negative: Sounds for a negative recognition, an unsuccessful VR session, or when a speed dependent feature has been accessed.
Listening: Sounds when the system is ready to listen for a command.
Help: Sounds when you ask for ’Help’.
on your steering wheel controls.

Confirmation prompts

Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly understood your request or when there are several possible responses to your request. For example, if you have Confirmation prompts ON, the system may say, “Phone, is that correct?”. The system will then listen for a “Yes” or “No” confirmation from you. If you say “Yes”, the system will proceed. If you say “No”, the system will

ask you to say the command again. If you have Confirmation prompts OFF, the system may assume it understood your request or may ask you to repeat your request. If the system is unsure of what was asked, it will prompt you to try again or ask for help. Note: Even with Confirmation prompts turned OFF, you may be asked to confirm certain settings occasionally.

Speaking instructions

For the best voice recognition, please ensure that:
The interior of the vehicle needs to be as quiet as possible. Wind noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing voice commands.
Press speaking a command.
Speak naturally without large pauses in between words.
Speak louder if background noise is preventing the system from
recognizing your command
Only one person should speak while the system is listening for a command.
Please realize voice recognition performance is not 100% and varies by user. The voice recognition system is meant to be a secondary convenience control and if it doesn’t operate optimally, you can still operate your system via the touch screen and hard buttons.
To speak voice commands:
Depending on the feedback setting, the system will respond differently. If the feedback settings are set to ‘Standard’, the system will respond with a tone, a prompt and another tone. If the feedback settings are set to Advanced, the system will respond without a prompt and with tones only.

Voice feedback / interaction

You can adjust the level of interaction and feedback you would like from your voice recognition system. There are four different levels varying from the most interaction/feedback to the least.
Standard Interaction Mode with Confirmation Prompts on: This selection provides the most feedback and guidance from the system. You will be prompted to say a command. The system will repeat your command and ask, “Is that correct?”
Standard mode with prompts off: This selection offers the second highest level of feedback with the system. You will be prompted to say a command. If the system is not certain of your command, the system will repeat your command and ask, “Is that correct?”
Advance mode with prompts on: You will be prompted by two tones. If the system is not certain of your command, the system may repeat your command and ask, “Is that correct?”.
Advance mode with prompts off: This selection provides the least interaction with the system. You will be prompted by two tones. You will rarely be asked to confirm your command.
Standard interaction mode provides more detailed interaction and guidance with confirmation prompts while the advanced mode has less audible interaction and more tone prompts. Confirmation prompts are short questions asked by the system when the system has not clearly heard or understood your request. Tone prompts are audible sounds signifying the system has entered a mode or is waiting for your command.

HD RADIO™ INFORMATION (IF AVAILABLE)

What is HD Radio™ technology and how does it work? HD Radio™ technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your system has a special receiver which allows it to receive digital broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts it already receives. Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio with no static or distortion. For more information, and a guide to available stations and programming, please visit www.hdradio.com.
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
Using HD Radio™ technology
1. Press the RADIO hard button.
2. Select the AM or FM tab on the touchscreen.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions:
Set PTY/ALL: Select ‘All HD Stations’ to have your system only access HD stations. Press Seek to initiate the search for HD Radio stations. Note: When your system is searching for an HD Radio station, it will momentarily pause on all strong stations in an attempt to decode the station (to see if there is a digital broadcast).
Scan: Press to scan through available stations. Note: You will not be able to access HD2–HD8 stations but you may see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
Seek: Press to seek to the next strong radio station. If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts, the mutlicast button will
display. Press Seek repeatedly to advance through all available broadcasts. If you are on the last multicast channel, press Seek to advance to the next strong station.
Tune: Turn the tune knob to go up/down the frequency in individual increments. If the current station has multiple digital broadcasts, the mutlicast button will display. Turn the tune knob to advance through all available broadcasts. If you are on the last broadcast channel, turn to advance to the next frequency on the band.
Multicast button: Press the multicast button repeatedly to access other available HD Radio broadcasts (these will be highlighted). HD1 is the main programming status and is available in analog and digital broadcasts. Any additional multicast stations (HD2–HD8) are only broadcast digitally.

signal. If you have turned this feature off, this will automatically turn on HD Radio broadcasts and will tune to the selected frequency. Note: As with any saved radio station, you will not be able to access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
LIVE broadcasts: If a station has a live broadcast (such as a baseball game), LIVE will appear embedded in the antenna on screen. These are analog broadcasts with digital components (i.e. artist, title). Note: If HD1 is a live broadcast, the HD Radio broadcast logo will not appear. If HD2–HD8 is a live broadcast, the multicast button may be displayed, but not the HD Radio broadcast logo.
HD Radio reception factors Reception area: If you are listening to a multicast station and you are
on the fringe of the reception area, the station may mute due to weak signal strength. If you are listening to HD1, the system will simply switch to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2–HD8 multicast channels, the station will mute and stay muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again. If it is not able to reconnect, ‘HD Unavailable’ will appear in the lower status bar.
Station blending: When a station is received, the system will play the station in the analog version and then, if the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it will shift into the digital version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station segues from analog to the digital version. The shift from analog to digital or digital back to analog sound is known as ’blending’.

Satellite radio channels: SIRIUSbroadcasts a variety of music, news, sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For more information and a complete list of SIRIUSsatellite radio channels, visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.siriuscanada.ca in Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite radio reception performance:
Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other material as far away from the antenna as possible.
Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display ACQUIRING...toindicatetheinterference.
SIRIUSsatellite radio service: SIRIUS威 Satellite Radio is a subscription based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and entertainment programming.

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. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further information.

FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN

If you have a Fusion Hybrid or MKZ Hybrid, the fuel economy screen displays instantaneous fuel consumption, overall average fuel economy and also a graph of fuel economy achieved in the last 10, 20 or 60 minutes of driving. (Refer to Average Fuel Economy in the Instrument Cluster chapter in your Owner’s Guide.) To view this screen, select ‘Show Fuel Economy’ on the ‘HEV’ tab screen.
If you have an Escape Hybrid, the fuel economy screen will display fuel economy achieved in the last 10 minutes of driving. (Refer to Average Fuel Economy in the Instrument Cluster chapter in your Owner’s Guide.) To view this screen, select ’Fuel Economy’ on the ‘HEV’ tab screen.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (Inst Econ): This is displayed on the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0–60 mpg. When the vehicle is not moving, the Ins Econ function will display no bar on the Inst Cons graph indicating 0 mpg. Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (engine off), this function will display 60+ mpg. Instantaneous Economy cannot be reset.
Overall Average Fuel Economy (AVG MPG): The AVG MPG is displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG will be retained when the key is turned off and will continue averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG MPG to zero. This will also reset the Average Fuel Economy on the Instrument Cluster. Note: If you have an Escape Hybrid, the average fuel economy information will not appear in the instrument cluster.
Fuel Economy History graph: Depending on your vehicle, this graph will indicate average fuel economy in 10, 20 or 60 minute intervals. If you have a Fusion Hybrid or MKZ Hybrid, you can choose the interval using the message center. If you have an Escape Hybrid, the display will appear in 10 minute intervals. The graph is updated each minute with the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior 10, 20 or 60 minutes of driving. Each new average will be added to the left side of the graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full, the right most point will be deleted, keeping a

For the Fusion Hybrid and MKZ Hybrid, the previous values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. For the Escape Hybrid, you will start with an empty fuel economy history with every ignition cycle.
If the navigation system has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel Economy screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units of L/100 KM. In Consumption (L/100 KM) mode, the IFE function will display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on Average Fuel Economy, refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

Power and efficiency (if equipped)

If you have an Escape Hybrid, your vehicle is equipped with a Power & Efficiency screen which provides additional information about brake efficiency, vehicle power, air conditioning power and efficiency information.
Brake (brake gauge): The narrow band indicates brake power demand. (The more you press on the brake pedal, the more braking power you demand of the vehicle). The wide band remains stationary to show the area in which braking is more efficient (beneath the line) and the approximate point where the limit of regenerative braking is reached (at the top of the line) and where conventional friction braking is applied (over the line).
When possible, anticipate braking. Moderate braking will help you stay within the efficient braking zone (keeping the narrow band below the wide band) thereby improving the regenerative braking energy recovery.
Brake demand may be present when coasting (without your foot on the brake pedal), particularly in low gear as the powertrain is contributing to slowing the vehicle.
Note: At zero vehicle speed, the narrow band indicator will show zero.
2012 Centerstack (ng1) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
79
Information menu
Vehicle (vehicle gauge): The narrow band indicates vehicle power demand. (The more you press on the accelerator pedal, the more power you demand of the vehicle.) When the transmission is in D (Drive), the wide band indicates the gasoline engine on/off transition point. If the narrow band is above the wide band, the gasoline engine is on. If the narrow band is below the wide band, the gasoline engine is off and the vehicle is in electric mode. If you are in electric mode and you press the accelerator such that the narrow band exceeds the wide band, the gasoline engine will turn on.
Reduction in vehicle power to below the wide band will result in the engine turning off. In this case, the hybrid’s system is operating in electric mode and “EV” is displayed under the gauge.
If the power demand is smaller than what is required to turn the engine on, it will be indicated with the narrow band below the wide band. Increase in vehicle power to above the wide band will result in the engine turning on and the “EV” will disappear.
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control (such as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the gasoline engine on/off threshold indicator (wide band) disappears. When the wide band is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn off regardless of how little power you demand (even lifting your foot off the accelerator).
A/C power gauge: The air conditioning power gauge indicates electrical power demand from your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Air conditioning uses power but does not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The higher the level indication on this gauge, the more air conditioning power is being used. You can see the level of this gauge change by turning air conditioning on and off or changing the climate control set point.
Some air conditioning power may be used when in the AUTO (Automatic) climate control mode. See the Climate control chapter of your Owner’s Guide for more information.
In colder ambient temperatures when the air conditioning is used less frequently, the A/C power will often display at zero.
80
2012 Centerstack (ng1) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
Information menu
Eff (efficiency gauge): The efficiency gauge indicates short term driving efficiency, measured over the last few minutes. Higher efficiency is indicated by an increase in the level indication.
This display can be impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and accessories as well as environmental conditions such as terrain and weather.
The efficiency display does not reset with the ’Reset’ economy button.
Engine on: This gauge provides you with the reason why the engine is running. When the gasoline engine is on, the buttons will show the reason why. When the gasoline engine is off, ’EV’ will appear in the display. When the gasoline engine is on, one or two of the following reasons will appear. For a more complete description of the reason, simply press the desired button on the touchscreen.
Engine cold: The engine is on to warm-up. The vehicle will return to electric mode when the engine is warm. This reason may re-appear during a drive or after shutting the vehicle down for a short period. This is normal operation.
Heater setting: The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce or turn off the heater setting to return to electric mode.
High speed: The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the level for electric mode operation. Reduce the speed to return to electric mode.
Acceleration: The engine is on because of pressure applied to the accelerator pedal. Reduce the pressure on the accelerator pedal to return to full electric mode.
Neutral Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear. Shift out of neutral gear to return to electric mode.
Low Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low gear to return to electric mode.
Batt charging (battery charging): The engine is on to charge the hybrid battery. The vehicle will return to electric mode once the battery is charged.
Normal operation: The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle will return to electric mode when possible.
