When several broadcast towers are present (common in metropolitan areas), several stations may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and distortion.
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal capture and overload. All About Radio Frequencies The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies that AM and FM radio stations may use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area. This radio will tune to each of these frequencies using manual tune and no fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other frequencies.
Some FM radio stations advertise a “rounded-off” frequency which is not the frequency they actually broadcast on. For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself “Radio 99” even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM broadcast frequency.

Climate control knobs (Heater only system) Instrument Panel Registers There are four registers in the instrument panel. Each of these registers contain a louver assembly which can be manually adjusted to direct airflow up, down, left, right, and positive shut-off. An illustration of the register locations follows.
Instrument panel registers System Operation The control for your air conditioning and heater system is located at the center of the instrument panel below the radio and will operate only when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. Your air conditioner and heater will heat and/or cool your vehicle interior depending on the function position and temperature you select. The function selector control knob allows you to select heating or cooling and determine

where the air will be directed. The temperature control knob setting determines the temperature of the air that flows into the vehicle.
To turn your air conditioner and heater system on, select any position except OFF. This will turn the fan on and allow airflow into the vehicle. To turn your air conditioner and heater off, select OFF. This will turn the fan off and stop airflow from coming into the vehicle.
Temperature selection
The Temperature knob is the rotating knob located at the center of the control with tapered RED and BLUE bands surrounding most of the knob. The wide RED part of the band (full right) is the heat or warmer area. The wide BLUE area (full left) is the cool or unheated temperature area. Any position selected between full right and full left will give a temperature between the two extreme temperatures. The cool temperature you select will not be cooler than the outside temperature, unless an A/C mode is selected (if equipped).
H Fan speed adjustment
The H knob on the control is the fan speed knob which controls the volume of air flow. Rotate the H knob to the right to increase the amount of air entering the vehicle. Four fan speed positions are available and are indicated by LO, two separate dots and HI beside the H control knob. The HI position provides the most air flow.

VENT
Use VENT to bring outside air through the instrument panel registers. You can heat the air in this position by rotating the center knob into the RED area. The air CANNOT be cooled below the outside temperature regardless of the center knob setting. Select NORM A/C or MAX A/C to get cool air through the instrument panel registers.
NORM A/C (If equipped)
Select NORM A/C to get refrigerated outside air through the instrument panel registers. The A/C position is used for cooling except when it is extremely hot or fast cooling of the vehicle is needed. Then, select MAX A/C for fast cooling and return to NORM A/C when you are comfortable.
MAX A/C (If equipped)
The MAX A/C position produces cool air more rapidly to provide faster cooling of your vehicle. This is possible because cooler air is drawn from inside the passenger area and refrigerated again instead of using warmer outside air. Using inside air will also make the fan sound louder which is normal when using MAX A/C. The air flow will be from the instrument panel registers.
FLOOR
Air flow will be to the floor when FLOOR is selected. The air cannot be cooled in the FLOOR position but can be heated by rotating the center knob in the RED area.

Rotate the H knob on the left to increase the air flow. On vehicles equipped with A/C, when the outside air temperature is about 50˚F (9˚C) or warmer, the air will be dehumidified to remove moisture. The air can be cooled or heated. Operating Tips
The following tips will help you to get the most satisfaction from your air conditioning (if equipped) and heater system.
In humid weather, select V DEF. This will help to prevent windshield fogging. After a few minutes of operation, you may select another air flow position. Rotate the control knob to obtain your desired comfort level. q To prevent humidity buildup inside your
vehicle, always drive with the Air Conditioning (if equipped) and Heater System turned on.
q Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the flow of air under the seats to the back seat area of your vehicle.

Ignition Understanding the Positions of the Ignition
The positions of the key in the ignition lock cylinder.
ON allows you to test your vehicle’s warning lights (except the brake system warning light) to make sure they work before you start the engine. The key returns to the ON position once the engine is started and remains in this position while the engine runs.
START cranks the engine. Release the key once the engine starts so that you do not damage the starter. The key should return to ON when you release it. The START position also allows you to test the brake warning light.
OFF allows you to shut off the engine and all accessories without locking the steering wheel or the automatic transmission gearshift lever.
LOCK locks the steering wheel. It also locks the gearshift if your vehicle’s gearshift is on the column.

The addition of shields to the front of the vehicle as used to deflect bugs, may also adversely affect the washer system from delivering fluid to the windshield. Devices such as bug shields are not recommended.
RWARNING
Always warm up the windshield with the defroster before you use the washer fluid. In freezing weather, the washer solution may freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision.
For information about refilling the washer fluid or replacing your windshield wiper blades, see Windshield washer fluid and Wipers in the Index. Hazard Flasher The hazard flasher is used to alert other drivers to hazardous situations.
The flashers will continue to flash with the brake pedal depressed.
The flashers work whether your vehicle is running or not. The flashers work for up to two hours when the battery is fully charged and in good condition without draining the battery excessively. If the flashers run for longer than two hours or if the battery is not fully charged, the battery can be drained.
To use the hazard flasher:
1. Push in the flasher button; it will pop out
and the lamps will begin to flash.

Tailgate operation When open, the tailgate load should not exceed 500 lbs (227 kgs). If you want to load heavy items onto your vehicle, Ford recommends that you load them one at a time, directly on the bed floor to avoid damage to the tailgate or its supports. To release the tailgate: Open the tailgate as directed above, but support it to allow for slack in the cables at both sides. Use a coin or similar object to pry the spring clip (on each upper cable connector) past the head of the support screw. Doing so will allow you to center the wider opening in the connector over the screw head and disconnect it. If you disconnect the upper end of each cable, you can lower the tailgate completely. NOTE: Step bumpers or hitches may damage the tailgate if it is lowered completely.

Replacing the Batteries
The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease in operating range, the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.NOTE: The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by weather conditions (such as very cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.Opening the remote transmitter
The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART. When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive (+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together.

Replacing the batteries Replacing lost transmitters In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter. You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program them to the remote entry system all at the same time. Illuminated Entry System (If equipped) This system will provide illumination of the vehicle’s interior courtesy lamps when either outside front door handle is pulled or when the Remote Entry System is used to unlock the door or sound the Personal Alarm. The system will automatically turn off after approximately 25
seconds or when the ignition is turned to the START or ACCESSORY position. NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off ifyou have turned them on with the dimmer knob or if any door is open.

Important Safety Belt Information The use of safety belts helps to restrain you and your passengers in case of a collision. In most states and in Canada the law requires their use.
Safety belts provide best restraint when:
RWARNING
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always wear their safety belts, failure to do so may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision.
the seatback is upright
the occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
the lap belt is snug and low on the hips
the shoulder belt is snug against the chest
the knees are straight forward
To help you remember to fasten your safety belt, a warning light may come on and a chime may sound. See Safety Belt Warning Light and Chime in the Instrumentation chapter.
See the following sections in this chapter for directions on how to properly use these safety belts. Also see Safety Restraints for Children in this chapter for special instructions about using safety belts for children.

Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.
RWARNING
Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from shifting and causing damage to the vehicle or harm to passengers.
RWARNING
