KEYCODE SECURITYMost units incorporate a uniqueKeycode security number thatmust be entered before the unitwill operate. Normally, the FordDealer does this during the pre-delivery inspection.If the battery is disconnected forany reason, or the audio unit isremoved from the vehicle, theKeycode must be re-entered beforethe unit will work again.

Lost KeycodesIf you lose the Keycode, contactyour dealer and supply details ofyour audio unit along with someproof of identity. Your Dealer willthen obtain the correct code fromFord Motor Company Limited.

Entering a KeycodeIf SAFE appears in the displaywhen you switch on the radio:• Use the rotary ENTER control to

select and highlight the firstnumber of your code.

• Press the rotary ENTER controlto confirm it.

• Repeat the previous steps toenter the other three numbers.

• Check the displayed code iscorrect.

• Highlight the dogleg arrowsymbol and press the rotaryENTER control to confirm theentire Keycode.

If you enter a digit incorrectly:• On DX units, highlight the arrow

left symbol and press the rotaryENTER control, or use the ESCbutton. Then enter the correctnumber.

• On EX units, press the DELbutton. Then enter the correctnumber.

Incorrect KeycodesIf you enter and confirm anincorrect Keycode, you will begiven further opportunities toenter the correct code.• At the first and second attempts,

the display will show if theattempt fails again and you canre-enter the correct code asdescribed previously.

• After two unsuccessful attempts,each subsequent failure to enterthe correct Keycode will lockthe unit for 60 minutes. You willnot be able to use it or enter acode until this period hasexpired.

Note: This waiting time will notelapse unless the radio is switchedon with the ignition on.Ten incorrect entry attempts willrender the unit permanentlyinoperative. Contact your localFord Dealer for help.

Disabling Keycode (EX units only)Keycode protection can beswitched on or off – See GeneralSettings.With Keycode protection disabled,there is no limit on entryopportunities, if you enter anincorrect Keycode. It also meansthat, if the audio unit isdisconnected from a power supplythen reconnected, it will be usablewithout entering a Keycode.If a Keycode protected system isremoved from the power supplyand then reconnected, the correctKeycode must be entered beforethe unit will operate.

Radio features

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)Most radio stations on the FMwaveband transmit additional codein their broadcast signal thatallows receivers equipped with thenecessary decoder to present moreinformation to the listener. This isknown as the Radio Data System(RDS). The additional featuresmay include the station name, thestation’s programme identificationnumber, alternative broadcastingfrequencies, clock and dateinformation, and trafficinformation.

Enhanced Other Network (RDS-EON)There is also a feature-enhancedversion known as Radio DataSystem – Enhanced OtherNetworks (RDS-EON) – thatprovides even more informationsuch as radio text and programmetype coding.

Note: Certain features may not beavailable from all radio stations.

Programme Identification code (PI)Each individual radio programmehas a unique identification codethat distinguishes it from all otherprogrammes. This allows the radioreceiver to know what other areasare transmitting the sameprogramme, even if they aretransmitting on differentfrequencies.

Alternative Frequencies (AF)By using the PI code, the radioreceiver can store a list oftransmitters in the same, oradjacent, areas transmitting aparticular programme.Consequently, if one transmitter’ssignal weakens, the audio unit canautomatically retune to a strongeralternative signal, if one exists.Under certain conditions, however,alternative frequency tuning maytemporarily disrupt normalreception.

Station name displays Audio units will display a selectedradio station’s name when theinformation is broadcast usingRDS. When no RDS information isavailable or on units without RDScapability, only the station’sfrequency will be displayed.

Programme type selection (PTY)Many programmes in the FMwaveband are categorised by thetype of material they broadcast.This classification takes the formof an identification number codedinto the broadcast signal.Programme searches can be basedon one of these classifications sothat you can choose to listen to aparticular type of programme.

Note: Some radio stations canalso transmit emergencyinformation under theundocumented category of ALARMbut this programme type cannot beselected manually.

Missed turningsIf you go past a turning, thesystem will automaticallyrecalculate the route and you maybe asked to make a U-turn. If youare unable to make a U-turn,continue in the direction you arecurrently travelling. The navigationsystem will detect your positionand revise the route. You will begiven new directions.Note: In vehicles with a dealer-installed handsfree kit, automaticaudio muting during a telephoneconversation might mean that averbal navigation instruction ismissed. Use the INFORMATIONbutton to repeat the last verbalinstruction.

TRAFFIC MESSAGE CHANNEL In some countries, Traffic MessageChannel (TMC) information iscollected continuously fromsensors on the highway and frompolice reports. This is passedimmediately to radio stations thatsubscribe to the service.It is then broadcast on the FMwaveband as additional code inthe transmitted signal, and can beused by the navigation system torevise a pre-programmed route inthe event of traffic congestion,road works, accidents, etc., whichhave a bearing on the currentposition and heading of yourvehicle.This operation is automatic, but avoice message will advise that theroute has been changed.



27

To use TMCTMC transmitting stations arestored on the FM waveband FMCpresets. There are two ways to dothis:• Press the AM/FM button then

press the soft key adjacent toFMC on the display screen. Theunit will automatically search forTMC stations and store them onthe presets.

• Enter the Route options menu(see System settings) and selectthe dynamic (DYN) option. Theunit will automatically tune to aTMC station if one can belocated.

Note: In countries where no TMCservice is currently available, thereis no way of knowing when such aservice might be introduced. It istherefore advisable to checkoccasionally by selecting the FMCwaveband. As soon as you select or program aroute with the dynamic optionselected, the unit will automaticallytune to a TMC station.If you choose to retune to a non-TMC station, or if you go out ofrange of any TMC station, dynamicroute guidance will be switched off.If you manually retune to a non-TMC station, dynamic routeguidance will remain off until youreselect the FMC channel. The lastmanually selected station willremain in effect even if the ignitionis turned off and on again.

! If you have dynamic route guidance (DYN option)

MP3 FEATURES (EX units only)You can also use this audio unit toplay CDRs and CD-RWs thatcontain MP3 music files. MP3 is aprocess for compressing CD audiodata to around 10% of theiroriginal size without a noticeableloss in quality (at a bit rate of 128kbit/s). If a lower bit rate is used,there will be a loss in audio quality.

The various combinations of CDburners, CD burning software and CD blanks may lead toplayback problems with certainCDs. If this happens with yourown burned CDs, try anotherbrand of disc or choose anothercolour of CD blank.To minimise problems, do not burnCDs at speeds greater than 16-speed. The CD format used mustbe ISO 9660 Level 1 / Level 2 orJoliet. Other formats cannot beplayed reliably.Your audio unit supports adirectory depth of eight. Deeperdirectories will not be recognizedor played. You can name eachdirectory using a PC and youraudio unit will display thesedirectory names.
