FORD 2014 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 436)

Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the graphic with your finger.
To get the best performance from the touch-sensitive controls:
• Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
• Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may affect operation of a nearby
control.
• Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
• Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface
of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(for example, inadvertently turning on a feature other than the one
you meant to turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
• Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
• VOL: Control the volume of playing media.
• Fan: Control the speed of the climate system fan.
• Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
• Eject: Eject a CD from the entertainment system.
• SOURCE: Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media
modes. The screen does not change, but you see the media change in
the lower left status bar.
• SOUND: Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can
adjust settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade,
THX Deep Note Demo, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)
• Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard flashers off and on.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used for cleaning glasses. If dirt or
fingerprints are still visible, apply a small amount of alcohol to the cloth.
Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the display. Do not use detergent or
any type of solvent to clean the display.
