situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications

equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular

phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications

systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

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 that may take their

focus off the road. The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe

operation of their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not

essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.

economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is

disconnected.

AVERAGE FUEL XX.X MPG (L/100km)

Average fuel economy displays your average fuel economy in miles/gallon

or liters/100 km.

If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing gallons of fuel

used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled by liters used), your

figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:

•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up

•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another

•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will

correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal

conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual

calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibration

adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that

varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four

degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the

vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this

error. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies: AM and FM frequencies are established by the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and

Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors: There are three factors that can affect radio

reception:

•Distance/strength: The further you travel from a station, the weaker

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 signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency

is displayed.

Cassette player care:

•Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.

•Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole

and turning the hub.

•Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.

•Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or

cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

•Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after

10–12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.

Don’t:

•Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.

•Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being

played.

Entertainment Systems

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 CD cleaner

and wipe from the center out.

Don’t:

•Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods

of time.

•Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in

(12 cm) 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.

Dirty, warped or damaged CDs, irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a

scratch protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper

(adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. 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. Please contact your authorized dealer for further

information.

Audio system warranty and service: Refer to the Warranty

Guide/Customer Information Guide for audio system warranty

information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified

technician.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.

If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps

should be checked by your authorized dealer.

Headlamp aim adjustment (Crown Victoria only)

The headlamps are designed to be mechanically aimed, but can also be

aimed visually by doing the following:

1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,

approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away. Check your headlamp

alignment at night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp

beam pattern.

•(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

or cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark or

feature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the

ground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on the

wall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps

and open the hood.

4. Locate the high intensity area of

the beam pattern and place the top

edge of the intensity zone even with

the horizontal reference line (4). If

the top edge of the high intensity

area is not even with the horizontal

line, follow the next step to adjust

it.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster for

each headlamp. Adjust the aim by

turning the adjuster control either

clockwise (to adjust down) or

counterclockwise (to adjust up).

6. In addition to the horizontal line

marked in step 2, a pair of vertical

lines (5) must be marked at the

center line of the headlamps on the

wall or screen.

7. On the wall or screen, locate the

high intensity area of the beam pattern. The left edge of the high

intensity area should be even with the vertical line corresponding to the

headlamp under adjustment. If the left edge of the high intensity area is

not even with the vertical line, follow the next step to adjust it.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Lamp assembly condensation

Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air

enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that

condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal

condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the

lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during

normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry

weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets)

•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens

Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water

leak) are:

•Water puddle inside the lamp

•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of

the lens

Take your vehicle to dealer for service if any of the above conditions of

unacceptable moisture are present.
