MP3 FILE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

The MACH 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 within that directory.

• Creating discs with only one level of subdirectories will help with navigation through the disc files.

ERROR MESSAGES

You may experience an error message for the following situations:

• NO DISC when the CD control is pressed and there is not a CD present.

• DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadable disc. Such as, data discs containing no .mp3 files, or for data discs containing more than 255 files or directories.

• CD ERR for any other disc malfunction.

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, 540–1600, 1610 kHz

FM87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS

There are three factors that can effect radio reception:

• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM 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.

29

• 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.

CD PLAYER CARE

All audios are CD changer compatible. See your dealer for further details.

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.

• Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.

• Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75 in) 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 felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your dealer for further information.

AUDIO SYSTEM WARRANTY AND SERVICE

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

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 through the instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This mode is more noisy than A/C, but is more economical and efficient. May reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

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

: Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.

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

: Distributes outside air through the floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and floor vents.

: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.

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: during cold weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position. during warm weather, do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF position.

• 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 air flow to the back seats.

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

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these objects may

become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER

Ensure that the ignition is in the ON position. Press the control to

clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. The LED will illuminate.

The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the ignition is turned OFF. To manually turn off the defroster before 10 minutes, push the control again.
