Ford Ranger (2011 year). Manual — part 7

• MP3 flat file mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The

player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.
Note: The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less
depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio
present.

• MP3 directory mode represents a folder structure consisting of one

level of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files,
from F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.

• Creating discs with only one level of folders will help with navigation

through the disc files.

Sample MP3 structure

If you are burning your own MP3
discs, it is important to understand
how the system will read the
structures you create. While various
files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only
files with the .mp3 extension will be
played. Other files will be ignored
by the system. This enables you to
use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer,
home computer and your in vehicle
system.

In flat file mode, the system will display and play the structure as if it
were only one level deep (all .mp3 files will be played, regardless of
being in a specific folder. In directory mode, the system will only play
the .mp3 files in the current folder.

Satellite radio information (if equipped)

Satellite radio channels: SIRIUS

威 broadcasts a variety of music, news,

sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUS

威 satellite radio channels,

visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.sirius-canada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUS

威 at 1–888–539–7474.

Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
• Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the

antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
