STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

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 drivers primary responsibility is the safe operation of
their vehicle. Only use steering wheel controls and other devices not
essential to the driving task when it is safe to do so.

These controls allow you to operate some radio control features.
