BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE
During the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of driving, maintain speeds below70 mph (112 km/h) and vary speeds frequently. This is recommended togive the moving parts a chance to break-in.
Do not tow a trailer or use your vehicle to snowplow until it has beendriven at least 500 miles (800 km). Refer to Trailer towing in the Tires,Wheels and Loading chapter for more information on towing a trailerand Snowplowing in the Driving chapter.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils duringthe first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since theseadditives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in theMaintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oilusage.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio frequencies
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 5401700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, theweaker 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.
Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signalmay overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequencyis displayed.
CD/CD player care
Do:
Handle discs by their edges only.Never touch the playing surface.
Inspect discs before playing.Clean only with an approved CDcleaner and wipe from the centerout.
Wipe discs from the center out.
Dont:
Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periodsof time.
Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.
Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to only play commercially manufactured,
round (4.75 in / 12 cm) audio compact discs. Due to technicalincompatibility, certain homemade compact discs may notfunction correctly when used in Ford CD players.
Do not use any irregular shapedCDs or discs with a scratchprotection film attached.

CDs with homemade paper(adhesive) labels should not beinserted into the CD player asthe label may peel and cause theCD to become jammed. It isrecommended that homemadeCDs be identified withpermanent felt tip marker ratherthan adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Pleasecontact your authorized dealer for further information.

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. Ifservice is necessary, see your authorized dealer.
Satellite radio information (if equipped)
Satellite radio channels: Satellite radio frequencies are established bythe Federal Communications Commission (FCC). SIRIUS Satellite Radiobroadcasts within a frequency range of 2320.0 MHz-2332.5 MHz. Thisfrequency range is sub-divided into over 120 channels of music, news,sports, weather and traffic programming. For a complete set of SIRIUSSatellite Radio channels, visit www.sirius.com or call SIRIUS at18885397474. For a quick reference of the SIRIUS Satellite Radiochannel guide, refer to the Sirius Welcome Kit.
Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, yourvehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on theroof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for anunobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radiosystem. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satelliteradio reception performance:
Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep theantenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and othermaterial as far away from the antenna as possible.
Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freewayoverpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms caninterfere with your reception.
Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeatingtower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in anaudio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there isa satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NOSIGNAL to indicate the interference.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPSYour vehicle may be equipped with a sealed beam or aerodynamicheadlamp system. Sealed beam headlamps may be aimed in the vertical(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using the proceduresfollowing. The aerodynamic headlamps can only be aimed in the verticaldirection (up/down) using the following procedures. The headlamps onyour vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant and should notnormally need adjusting.
Vertical and horizontal aim adjustment (sealed beam headlamps)
The headlamps on your vehicle are intended to be aimed usingmechanical aimers. If mechanical aimers are used and the cross-car sightline is in any way blocked, set the legs of the universal adaptor all to the
same setting, such that the cross-car sight line is no longer blocked, perthe instructions for the brand of mechanical aimer used. You can alsoaim the headlamps visually using the procedure below.
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park your vehicle on a levelsurface about 25 feet (7.6 meters)away from a vertical plain surface(3). Check your headlamp alignmentat night or in a dark area so thatyou can see the headlamp beampattern.
(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
(2) Center height of lamp to
ground (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
(4) Horizontal reference line
(5) Center of headlamps
(6) Center line of the vehicle
2. The center of the headlamp is marked either on the lens (a circle orcross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark orfeature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to theground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on thewall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).

3. Turn on the low beam headlampsand open the hood.
4. Locate the high intensity area ofthe beam pattern and place the topedge of the intensity zone even withthe horizontal reference line (4). Ifthe top edge of the high intensityarea is not even with the horizontalline, follow the next step to adjustit.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster (2)for each headlamp. Adjust the aimby turning the adjuster controleither clockwise (to adjust up) or
counterclockwise (to adjust down).6. In addition to the horizontal linemarked in step 2, a pair of verticallines (5) must be marked at thecenter line of the headlamps on thewall or screen.
7. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beampattern. The left edge of the high intensity area should be even with thevertical line corresponding to the headlamp under adjustment. If the leftedge of the high intensity area is not even with the vertical line, followthe next step to adjust it.
8. Locate the horizontal adjuster (1) for each headlamp. Turn itclockwise or counterclockwise, to place the left edge of the highintensity area even with the vertical line corresponding to the headlampunder adjustment.

Vertical aim adjustment (aerodynamic headlamps)The headlamps on your vehicle can only be vertically adjusted. Yourvehicle does not require horizontal aim adjustments.
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
(2) Center height of lamp to ground
(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from thecenter of your headlamp (indicatedby a 3.0 mm circle on the lens) tothe ground and mark an 8 foot(2.4 meter) horizontal reference lineon the vertical wall or screen at thisheight (a piece of masking tapeworks well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlampsto illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. Cover one of theheadlamps so no light hits the wall.
4. On the wall or screen you willobserve a light pattern with adistinct horizontal edge towards theright. If this edge is not at thehorizontal reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted so the edgeis at the same height as the horizontal reference line.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster oneach headlamp, then use a E5 Torxsocket to turn the adjuster eithercounterclockwise (to adjust down)or clockwise (to adjust up) aligningthe upper edge of the light patternup to the horizontal line.
6. Repeat Steps 35 for the otherheadlamp.
7. Close the hood and turn off thelamps.
