MP3 FILE DIRECTORY STRUCTUREThe MACH MP3 music system recognizes MP3 discfile and directory (folder) structure as follows:

There are two different modes for MP3 discplayback: MP3 flat file mode (default) and MP3directory mode.

MP3 flat file mode ignores any directory structurepresent on the MP3 disc. The player sequentiallynumbers each MP3 track on the disc (denoted bythe .mp3 file extension) from T001 to T255.

MP3 directory mode represents a directorystructure consisting of one level of directories(folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all

MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3extension) and all directories containing MP3files, from 0101 to 9999. The first two digitsdenote the directory number and the last twodigits denote the track number within thatdirectory.

Creating discs with only one level ofsubdirectories will help with navigation throughthe disc files.

ERROR MESSAGES

You may experience an error message for thefollowing situations:

NO DISC when the CD control is pressed andthere is not a CD present.

DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadabledisc. Such as, data discs containing no .mp3 files,or for data discs containing more than 255 files ordirectories.

Note: The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system isnot compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote

start systems. Use of these systems may result invehicle starting problems and a loss of securityprotection.

Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices thatare used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or asecond coded key on the same key chain may causevehicle starting issues. You need to prevent theseobjects from touching the coded key while startingthe engine. These objects will not cause damage tothe coded key, but may cause a momentary issue ifthey are too close to the key when starting theengine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off,

SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Safety restraints precautions


the hips.

To reduce the risk of injury, make surechildren sit where they can be properly

restrained.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his orher lap while the vehicle is moving. The

passenger cannot protect the child from injury in acollision.

All occupants of the vehicle, including thedriver, should always properly wear their

safety belts, even when an air bag (SRS) isprovided.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargoarea, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a

collision, people riding in these areas are morelikely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allowpeople to ride in any area of your vehicle that isnot equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sureeveryone in your vehicle is in a seat and using asafety belt properly.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person issignificantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a safety belt.

Each seating position in your vehicle has aspecific safety belt assembly which is made

up of one buckle and one tongue that are designedto be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt onthe outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulderbelt under the arm. 2) Never swing the safety beltaround your neck over the inside shoulder. 3)Never use a single belt for more than one person.

Always transport children 12 years old andunder in the back seat and always properly

use appropriate child restraints.

Safety belts and seats can become hot in avehicle that has been closed up in sunnyweather; they could burn a small child. Check seatcovers and buckles before you place a childanywhere near them.

Combination lap and shoulder belts

Before fastening thesafety belt, make surethe shoulder beltpasses through the beltguide on the top of theseatback.

2. To unfasten, pushthe release button andremove the tonguefrom the buckle.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the

vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts. The

front passenger and rear seat outboard safety belts

have two types of locking modes described below:

Energy Management Feature

This vehicle has a safety belt system with anenergy management feature at the front seatingpositions to help further reduce the risk of injuryin the event of a head-on collision.

This safety belt system has a retractor assemblythat is designed to pay out webbing in acontrolled manner. This feature is designed tohelp reduce the belt force acting on theoccupants chest.

After any vehicle collision, the safety beltsystem at all outboard seating positions

(except driver, which has no automatic lockingretractor feature) must be checked by a qualified

technician to verify that the automatic lockingretractor feature for child seats is still functioningproperly. In addition, all safety belts should bechecked for proper function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUSTBE REPLACED if the safety belt assembly

automatic locking retractor feature or any othersafety belt function is not operating properly whenchecked according to the procedures in WorkshopManual.



66

8/13/2019 2003 Mustand

67/216

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractorassembly could increase the risk of injury in

collisions.

Vehicle sensitive mode

This is the normal retractor mode, which allows freeshoulder belt length adjustment to your movementsand locking in response to vehicle movement. Forexample, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns acorner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact ofapproximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, thecombination safety belts will lock to help reduceforward movement of the driver and passengers.

Automatic locking mode

The automatic locking mode is not available on thedriver safety belt.

When to use the automatic locking mode

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automaticallypre-locked. The belt will still retract to remove anyslack in the shoulder belt. The automatic lockingmode is not available on the driver safety belt.

This mode should be used any time a child safetyseat is installed in a passenger front or outboardrear seating position (if equipped). Children 12 yearsold and under should be properly restrained in therear seat whenever possible. Refer to Safetyrestraints for children or Safety seats for childrenlater in this chapter.

How to use the automatic locking mode Buckle the

combination lap andshoulder belt.

Grasp the shoulder

portion and pulldownward until theentire belt is pulledout.

Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you

will hear a clicking sound. This indicates thesafety belt is now in the automatic locking mode.

How to disengage the automatic locking mode

Ford Motor Company recommends that allsafety belt assemblies and attaching

hardware should be inspected by a qualifiedtechnician after any collision. Safety beltassemblies not in use during a collision should alsobe inspected and replaced if either damage orimproper operation is noted.

Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt andallow it to retract completely to disengage theautomatic locking mode and activate the vehiclesensitive (emergency) locking mode.

After any vehicle collision, the frontpassenger and rear outboard seat belt

systems must be checked by a qualified technicianto verify that the automatic locking retractorfeature for child seats is still functioning properly.In addition, all seat belts should be checked forproper function.

BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST

BE REPLACED if the seat belt assemblyautomatic locking retractor feature or any otherseat belt function is not operating properly whenchecked according to the procedures in WorkshopManual.

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractorassembly could increase the risk of injury in

The following are reasons most often given for notwearing safety belts: (All statistics based on U.S.data)

Reasons given... Consider...

Crashes are rare events 36700 crashes occur everyday. The more we drive, themore we are exposed to rareevents, even for good drivers. 1

in 4 of us will be seriously

injured in a crash during ourlifetime.

Im not going far 3 of 4 fatal crashes occurwithin25 miles of home.

Belts are uncomfortable We design our safety belts to

enhance comfort. If you are

uncomfortable - try different

positions for the safety belt

upper anchorage and seatback

which should be as upright aspossible; this can improve

comfort.

I was in a hurry Prime time for an accident.BeltMinder reminds us to take a

few seconds to buckle up.

Safety belts dont work Safety belts, when usedproperly, reduce risk of deathto front seat occupants by 45%in cars, and by 60% in lighttrucks.

Traffic is light Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur insingle-vehicle crashes, manywhen no other vehicles are

around.

Belts wrinkle my clothes Possibly, but a serious crash

can do much more than wrinkle

your clothes, particularly if youare unbelted.



71

8/13/2019 2003 Mustand

72/216

Reasons given... Consider...The people Im with

dont wear belts

Set the example, teen deaths

occur 4 times more often in

vehicles with TWO or MORE

people. Children and younger

brothers/sisters imitate behavior

they see.

I have an air bag Air bags offer greater protection

when used with safety belts.

Frontal airbags are not designed

to inflate in rear and sidecrashes or rollovers.

Id rather be thrownclear

Not a good idea. People whoare ejected are 40 timesmore likely to DIE. Safetybelts help prevent ejection, WE

CANT PICK OUR CRASH.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt toavoid the Belt Minder chime. Sitting on the

safety belt will increase the risk of injury in anaccident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate theBelt Minder feature please follow the directionsstated below.

One time disable

Any time the safety belt is buckled and then

unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, the

BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle

only.
