CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units are designed to play
commercially-pressed 4.75 inch (12
centimetre) 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.
Note: CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player as 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. Contact an authorised
dealer for further information.
Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped
discs or discs with a scratch protection film
attached.
Always handle discs by their edges only.
Clean the disc with an approved CD
cleaner only, wiping from the centre of the
disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a
circular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
heat sources for extended periods of time.

Audio System

Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the
signal and the weaker the reception.
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, motorway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
When you pass near a radio transmission tower, a stronger
signal can override a weaker signal and can cause interfer-
ence in the audio system.
MP3 and WMA Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognising and
playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•
•
163
There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and
WMA track mode (system default) and
MP3 and WMA folder mode.
MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any
folder structure on the MP3 and WMA
disc. The player numbers each MP3
and WMA track on the disc (noted by
the .mp3 file extension) from T001 to
a maximum of T255. The maximum
number of playable MP3 and WMA files
may be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
