Connected Vehicle

Why can I not connect to a Wi-Fi
network?

•

You entered the wrong network
password. Enter the correct password.

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

•

There are multiple access points in
range with the same network name.
Choose a unique name for your
network. Do not use the default name
unless it contains a unique identifier,
for example as part of the MAC
address.

Why does the Wi-Fi connection
disconnect after successful
connection?

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

What can I do if I am close to a Wi-
Fi router but the network signal
strength is weak?

•

If your vehicle has a heated windshield,
position your vehicle so that the
windshield is not facing the Wi-Fi
router.

•

If your vehicle has metallic tinting on
the windows but not on the windshield,
position your vehicle so that the
windshield is facing the Wi-Fi router or
open the windows that are facing the
router.

•

If your vehicle has metallic tinting on
the windows and the windshield, open
the windows that are facing the router.

•

If your vehicle is in a garage and you
have the garage door closed, open the
garage door as it could block the signal.

Why can I not see a network I
expect to see in the list of available
networks?

•

The network is hidden. Make the
network visible and try again, or
manually add a network in the Wi-Fi
settings menu.

•

Some network security types are not
supported, for example WEP.

Why do software downloads take
too long?

•

The network signal is weak. Move your
vehicle closer to the Wi-Fi router or to
a place where the network signal is not
obstructed.

•

Wi-Fi network is in high demand or has
a slow Internet connection. Use a more
reliable Wi-Fi network.

Why does the software not update
when the system seems to connect

to a Wi-Fi network and the signal
strength is excellent?

•

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

(IF EQUIPPED)

WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO

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

481

Audio System - Vehicles With: 12 Inch Screen

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 XPERI. The
vehicle manufacturer and XPERI 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.

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

Press

Settings

on the touchscreen.

2. Press

Radio Settings

3. Switch

HD Radio

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.

482

Audio System - Vehicles With: 12 Inch Screen

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

(IF EQUIPPED)

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.

HOW DOES DIGITAL RADIO WORK

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

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:

Depending on the station quality, you could
hear a slight sound change when the
