Audio System

AM/FM RADIO

AM/FM RADIO LIMITATIONS

The further you travel from an AM or FM
station, the weaker the signal and the
weaker the reception.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.

When you pass a ground-based broadcast
repeating tower, a stronger signal may
overtake a weaker one and result in the
audio system muting.

DIGITAL RADIO

WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO

HD Radio™ technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio.

For additional information, visit

www.HDRadio.com

HD Radio Technology is manufactured
under license from iBiquity Digital
Corporation and foreign patents. HD Radio
and the HD and HD Radio logos are
proprietary trademarks of DTS. The vehicle
manufacturer and DTS are not responsible
for the content sent using HD Radio
technology. Content may be changed,
added or deleted at any time at the station
owner's discretion.

HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK

Your system has a special receiver that
allows it to receive digital broadcasts in
addition to analog broadcasts.

412

Audio System

HD1 signifies the main programming status
and is available in both analog and digital
broadcasts. Other multicast stations are
only available digitally and could contain
new or different content.

Note:

When the system first receives an

HD1 station, it plays the station in the analog
version until it verifies the station is an HD
Radio station. Then it shifts to the digital
version.

Note:

There is an audio mute delay when

switching to an HD2 or HD3 station because
the system has to reacquire and decode the
digital signal.

DIGITAL RADIO LIMITATIONS

If you are outside the reception area, the
system could not work.

If you are on the fringe of the reception
area, the station could mute due to weak
signal strength.

Note:

If you are listening to HD1, the system

changes back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again. If
you are listening to any other multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays
muted unless it is able to connect to the
digital signal again.

Depending on the station quality, you could
hear a slight sound change when the
station changes between analog and
digital audio.

You cannot access a saved HD station if
your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.

SWITCHING DIGITAL RADIO

RECEPTION ON AND OFF

Access the vehicle drawer on the
touchscreen.

4. Switch

on or off.

DIGITAL RADIO INDICATORS
HD Radio Indicator

The indicator appears when HD Radio is
on and you tune to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology.

E142616

The color of the indicator changes to
indicate the system status.

Gray indicates the system is acquiring a
digital station.

Orange indicates digital audio is playing.

Multicast Indicator

The multicast indicator appears if the
current station is broadcasting multiple
digital broadcasts. The highlighted
numbers indicate additional digital
channels available.

Note:

For stations that have more than one

HD multicast, the HD indicator and radio
text appears as a button. Press the button
to cycle through all of the HD stations on
that specific frequency.

SATELLITE RADIO

WHAT IS SATELLITE RADIO

Your factory-installed SiriusXM radio
system includes a limited subscription
term, which begins on the date of sale or
lease of your vehicle. See an authorized
dealer for availability.

For additional information about extended
subscription terms, visit

www.SiriusXM.com

in the United States,

www.SiriusXM.ca

Canada, or call SiriusXM at
1-888-539-7474.

Note:

SiriusXM reserves the unrestricted

right to change, rearrange, add or delete
programming including canceling, moving
or adding particular channels, and its prices,
at any time, with or without notice to you.
Neither SiriusXM and its affiliates nor Ford
Motor Company and its affiliates will be
liable to you or any third party for any such
modification, suspension or termination.

SATELLITE RADIO LIMITATIONS

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.
Placing luggage over the antenna may
reduce performance. Factory-installed and
aftermarket vehicle structures including,
but not limited to, roof racks and soft top
roofs in a partially open position could
reduce reception performance.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges,
tunnels, freeway overpasses, parking
garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception.

When you pass a ground-based
broadcast-repeating tower, a stronger
signal may overtake a weaker one and
could result in the audio system muting.
Your display could show an error message
to indicate the interference.

Audio System

GENERAL INFORMATION

SYNC is an in-vehicle communications
system that works with your Bluetooth
enabled cellular phone and portable media
player. This allows you to:

•

Make and receive calls.

•

Access and play music from your
portable music player.

•

Use 911 Assist or Emergency Assistance
and applications via SYNC AppLink.

•

Access phonebook contacts and music
using voice commands.

•

Stream music from your connected
phone.

•

Text message.

•

Use the advanced voice recognition
system.

•

Charge your USB device (if your device
supports this).

These features are not available in all

markets and may require activation.
Available AppLink enabled apps vary by
market.

Make sure that you review your device's
manual before using it with SYNC.

Support

SYNC support is available at your regional
Ford website. See

SYNC™

Troubleshooting

(page 421).

SYNC Owner Account

Why do I need a SYNC owner account?

•

Essential for keeping up with the latest
software downloads available for
SYNC.

•

Access to customer support for any
questions you may have.

Driving Restrictions

For your safety, certain features are
speed-dependent and restricted when your
vehicle is traveling over 3 mph (5 km/h).

Safety Information

WARNING:

Driving while distracted

When using SYNC:

•

Do not operate playing devices if the
power cords or cables are broken, split
or damaged. Place cords and cables
out of the way, so they do not interfere
with the operation of pedals, seats,
compartments or safe driving abilities.

•

Do not leave playing devices in your
vehicle during extreme conditions as it
could cause them damage. See your
device's manual for further information.

•

Do not attempt to service or repair the
system. See an authorized dealer.

Privacy Information

When a cellular phone is connected to
SYNC, the system creates a profile within
your vehicle that is linked to that cellular
phone. This profile is created in order to
offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other
things, this profile may contain data about
your cellular phone book, text messages

415

SYNC™

(If Equipped)

(read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cellular
phone was not connected to the system.
In addition, if you connect a media device,
the system creates and retains an index of
supported media content. The system also
records a short development log of
approximately 10 minutes of all recent
system activity. The log profile and other
system data may be used to improve the
system and help diagnose any problems
that may occur.

The cellular profile, media device index,
and development log will remain in the
vehicle unless you delete them and are
generally accessible only in the vehicle
when you connect the cellular phone or
media player. If you no longer plan to use
the system or the vehicle, we recommend
you perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.

No one can access system data without
special equipment and access to the
vehicle's SYNC module. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada will not
access the system data for any purpose
other than as described absent consent, a

court order, or where required by law
enforcement, other government
authorities, or other third parties acting
with lawful authority. Other parties may
seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and
Ford of Canada. For further privacy
information, see the section on 911 Assist.
See

SYNC™ Applications and Services

command spoken before this does not
register with the system.

time while it is speaking by pressing the
voice button. You can cancel a voice
session by pressing and holding the
