How to Adjust the Focus Audio System?

First, reset all additional functions of the car's main unit to factory settings. Then, set the treble, midrange, and bass to the middle position, and do the same for the left-right balance. Set the amplifier's volume to the lowest level, FILTER to OFF4, and CROSSOVER to the lowest 5. For main unit debugging, play some high-fidelity vocal discs or discs with strong bass dynamics, and adjust the volume to slightly over half or 3/5 of the maximum level.
I often drive long distances in my Focus, and adjusting the audio is super simple and hassle-free. Just press the volume buttons on the right side of the steering wheel and move them up or down; when parked, tap the audio settings on the screen and try adjusting the treble, midrange, and bass sliders by one notch each. I like to add a bit of treble to make the vocals brighter and reduce the bass slightly to avoid it being overwhelming. The balance options in the car can be adjusted left/right and front/rear to fix the soundstage focused on the front seats, making it clearer to hear navigation while driving. The Focus's preset modes, like Pop or Classic, allow for one-tap switching, and Bluetooth-connected Spotify from my phone delivers decent sound quality. Regular adjustments can reduce ear fatigue, making long drives more comfortable. The overall audio performance is quite good, and a little tweaking can significantly improve the experience. With the car steady and music or conversation to keep me company, the journey never feels dull.
