GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies: AM and FM frequencies are established by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors: There are three factors that can affect radio
reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from a station, the weaker

the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

Cassette player care:
• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole

and turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.

• Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or

cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after

10–12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.

Don’t:
• Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.
• Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being

played.

CD/CD player care:

Do:
• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
• Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner

and wipe from the center out.

Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods

of time.

• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in
(12 cm) 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.
Dirty, warped or damaged CDs, 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.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)

1. Fan speed adjustment: Controls
the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.

2. Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.

3. Air flow selections: Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.

MAX A/C: Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel vents only. This mode will help prevent unpleasant
odors from entering the vehicle.

NORM A/C: Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel vents only.

VENT: Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.

OFF: Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.

FLOOR: Distributes outside air through the floor vents.

MIX: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents, floor
vents and side window demisters.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and

the side window demisters.

Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place

the air flow selector in the

position.

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the

air flow selector in OFF or MAX A/C.

• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in

MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle
to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the

airflow to the back seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
the MAX A/C position reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting
and put the vehicle’s transmission into the park gear position to continue
to receive cool air from your A/C system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select NORM A/C.
2. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
3. Set the fan speed to HI.
4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

1. OFF: Outside air is shut out and
the fan will not operate.

2. AUTOMATIC: Press
AUTOMATIC and select the desired
temperature using the temperature
controls. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location, and outside or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle to the
selected temperature. The fan speed will remain automatic unless the
thumbwheel is turned all the way to LO.
