Compact Disc Radio The Compact Disc Radio combines the Electronic Stereo Radio with the Ford Compact Disc Player. Using the Controls on Your New Radio/CD Player Most of the features of this unit work for both radio and CD operation, depending on which mode the unit is in. Also, some of the buttons control several different functions, so be sure to read all of the operating instructions carefully. How to turn the radio on and off Press the “POWER” button to turn the radio on. Press it again to turn it off. How to adjust the volume Press the (+/앥) side of the “VOL” button to increase/decrease the volume. Bars illuminate in the display to show the relative volume level. NOTE: If the volume level is set above a
certain listening level when the ignition switch is turned off, when the ignition switch is turned back on, the volume will come back to a “nominal” listening level. However, if the radio power is turned off (with the “POWER” button), the volume will remain in the position it was set at when radio power is switched back on.
Selecting the AM or FM frequency band Push the “AM/FM” button to select the desired frequency band. When in the radio mode, pushing the button more than once will alternate between AM, FM1 and FM2. These functions are used with the station memory buttons described under How to tune radio stations.

How to tune radio stations There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You can manually locate the station using the “SCAN/TUNE” button, “SEEK” the station, “SCAN” to the station or select the station by using the memory buttons, which you can set to any desired frequency. These four methods are described below. q Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to manually
tune You can change the frequency up or down one increment at a time (FM changes in increments of 200kHz; AM changes in increments of 10kHz) by first pressing the “SCAN/TUNE” button twice (display shows “TUNE”), then — within approximately five seconds —pressing and releasing either the top (b) or bottom (a) half of the “SEEK” button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the top or bottom half of the “SEEK” button. Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any allowable broadcast frequency, whether or not a station is present on that frequency. (See All About Radio Frequencies in this section.)
q Using the “SEEK” function
This feature on your radio allows you to automatically select listenable stations up or down the frequency band. Press the top a half of the “SEEK” button to select the next listenable station up the frequency band. Press the bottom b half of the button to select the next listenable station down the frequency band. By pressing and holding the button, listenable stations can be passed over to reach the desired station.

q Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to scan
radio stations
Pressing the “SCAN/TUNE” button once enters the scan mode (display will indicate “SCN”). Pushing the top a half of the “SEEK” button will begin the scan mode up the frequency band, stopping on each listenable station for approximately five seconds. Pushing the bottom b half of the “SEEK” button will begin the scan mode down the frequency band, again stopping on each listenable station for approximately five seconds.
To stop the scan mode on the presently sampled station press the “SCAN/TUNE” button again.
Setting the Station Memory Preset buttons
Your radio is equipped with 5 station memory buttons. These buttons can be used to select up to 5 preset AM stations and 10
FM stations (5 in FM1 and 5 in FM2). Follow the easy steps below to set these buttons to the desired frequencies.1. Select a band, then select a frequency.
2. Press one of the memory buttons and hold
the button until the sound returns. That station is now held in memory on that button.
3. Follow the two steps above for each station
memory preset button you want to set.
NOTE: If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the clock and station memory preset buttons (if programmed in auto mode) will need to be reset.

q Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
You can activate the Auto Memory Load feature by pressing and holding the “AUTO PRESET” button for approximately three seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by seeking out the first five strong stations for the respective band and storing them in memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the second set of strong stations from the FM band.)
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually set strong stations into your memory buttons without losing your existing memory presets, which is especially handy while traveling. Your radio will automatically set your memory buttons to the strong local stations so you don’t have to continually manually tune to existing stations.
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the “AUTO PRESET” button once. Your radio will set the first five strong stations of the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory buttons. The display will show “AUTO”, then run through the frequencies, stopping momentarily on the stations being set into the memory buttons. The radio is now in the “AUTO” mode and this display will show “AUTO” each time a preset is activated.
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong stations in the frequency band, the remaining unfilled buttons will store the last strong station detected on the band.

Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and Tapes
In order to keep your cassette tape player performing the way it was meant to, read and follow these simple precautions: q Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge to clean the tape player head after 10-12 hours of play will help maintain the best playback sound and proper tape operation.
q Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage or may jam the tape player mechanism. q Protect cassettes from exposure to directsunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions, allow them to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it before playing by putting your finger or a pencil into one of the holes and turning the hub until the tape is tight.
q Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting a cassette. q Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player when not in use. High heat in the vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely clear and noise-free, such as the following:
1. Distance/Strength
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal becomes weaker.

*[AS35900(ALL)01/95]
*[AS36000(ALL)01/95]
*[AS36100(ALL)01/95]
NOTE: Always make sure your antenna
(whether you have a power antenna or a manually adjustable antenna) is fully extended to the maximum length for proper reception. If your antenna is not fully extended, you may experience signal loss while traveling in fringe reception areas.
2. Terrain
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.
Repeated pops and hisses which are heard during an otherwise clear broadcast can occur near the station because of the “line of sight” characteristic of FM radio waves.
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and station, some of the signal “bends” around the building, but certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the “shadow” of the structure will allow the station to return to normal.
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal, which improves the quality of reception.

Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms.
Another reception phenomenon is Strong Signal Capture and Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may capture the more distant station, although the displayed frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the original station.
When several broadcast towers are present (common in metropolitan areas) several stations may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and distortion.
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal capture and overload. All About Radio Frequencies The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM radio stations may use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area. This radio will tune to each of these frequencies using manual tune and no fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other frequencies.

Some FM radio stations advertise a “rounded-off” frequency which is not the frequency they actually broadcast on. For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself “Radio 99” even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM broadcast frequency.

Driving Your Probe
Procedures for driving your vehicle will vary depending on which type of transaxle your vehicle has. You may be familiar with the term “transmission.” We use transaxle because it is a more accurate term for vehicles that have front-wheel drive.
Your vehicle has one of two types of transaxles:
a manual five-speed overdrive
an automatic four-speed overdrive Driving with an Automatic Overdrive Transaxle Putting Your Vehicle in Gear
The automatic transaxle on your vehicle is an electrically controlled four speed. The highest gear is Overdrive. The Overdrive position is reflected by D in the shift selector indicator.
The automatic transaxle uses the conventional selector lever, and an Overdrive OFF button. All normal driving is done with the selector in the D position.

RWARNING
Hold the brake pedal down while you move the gearshift lever from position to position. If you do not hold the brake pedal down, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and injure someone.

Once the gearshift is secure in the desired position, release the brake pedal and use the accelerator as necessary. Backing Up With the gearshift in the R (Reverse) position, the vehicle will move backward. You should always come to a complete stop before shifting into or out of R (Reverse). Driving When to use Overdrive (D with Overdrive activated) Overdrive is the usual driving position for an automatic overdrive transaxle. It works the same way Drive (Overdrive OFF) works, automatically upshifting or downshifting as the vehicle speeds or slows. However, Overdrive also shifts into a fourth gear — an overdrive gear — when your vehicle cruises at a consistent speed for any length of time. This fourth gear will increase your fuel economy when you travel at cruising speeds. Overdrive may not be appropriate for certain terrain. If the transaxle shifts back and forth between third and fourth gears while you are driving on hilly roads, select Drive (Overdrive OFF) by cancelling Overdrive as outlined below.

Cancelling Overdrive The Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) button is located on the gearshift. The Overdrive Off (O/D OFF) light is located in the instrument cluster. The O/D OFF light is not illuminated during normal vehicle operation. This allows the transaxle to upshift and downshift from 1st through 4th gears. When the O/D OFF button is pressed, Overdrive is cancelled and the O/D OFF light in the instrument cluster illuminates. When the O/D OFF light is illuminated, the transaxle will upshift and downshift from 1st through 3rd gears.
Overdrive OFF indicator light To return the transaxle to normal operation (1st through 4th gears) press the O/D OFF button again. The O/D OFF button may be used to cancel Overdrive any time the vehicle is being driven. Each time your vehicle is started, the Overdrive system will automatically be in the normal “overdrive on” mode and the light will not be illuminated. If the light does not come on when the O/D OFF button is pressed, or if the light flashes when you are driving, have your vehicle serviced at the first opportunity. If this condition persists, damage could occur to the transaxle.

When to use Drive (D with Overdrive OFF) In Drive (Overdrive OFF), your vehicle automatically upshifts or downshifts from 1st through 4th gears as the vehicle speeds up or slows down. It also downshifts when you need extra acceleration to pass or when driving up a hill. Selecting Drive (Overdrive OFF) will eliminate the transaxle’s tendency to “hunt” between third and fourth gears while driving over hilly terrain. It also gives your vehicle more engine braking to slow your vehicle than Overdrive does. When to use Second (2) Use Second (2) to help drive up moderately steep hills or when starting on slick surfaces. It prevents the transaxle from frequently shifting up and down. It also gives more engine braking than Overdrive or Drive when going down hills. Do not go faster than 64 mph (102 km/h) with the gearshift in the Second (2) position. If you
