WARNING: Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle

control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that

drivers use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may

take their focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any

handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated

systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable state

and local laws that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.

Your vehicle is equipped with an

auxiliary input jack (AIJ). The

auxiliary input jack provides a way

to connect your portable music

player to the in-vehicle audio

system. This allows the audio from a

portable music player to be played

through the vehicle speakers with

high fidelity. To achieve optimal

performance, please observe the

following instructions when

attaching your portable music device to the audio system.

If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, refer to Auxiliary

input jack section in the Audio features chapter of your Navigation

System supplement.

Required equipment:

1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones

2. An audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm)

connectors at each end

To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack:

1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off.

2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully

charged and that the device is turned off.

3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output

of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the AIJ

in your vehicle.

4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into

the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the

volume.

6. Press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until LINE, LINE IN or

SYNC LINE IN appears in the display.

You should hear audio from your portable music player, although it may

be low.

7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the

level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the

AUX and FM or CD controls.

Troubleshooting:

1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level

outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not

compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices

that have a headphone output with a volume control.

2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is

necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio

system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many

portable music players have different output levels, so not all players

should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full

volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.

3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the

portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or

recharge the batteries in the portable music player.
