I have just taken delivery of a New Ford Focus. I live in Spain but am English. The car has been delivered with the voice recognition in Spanish and it will not recognise my English accent. Can anyone tell me where I can get the procedure for changing the language. My Ford Dealer says it can´t be done but I have been told that it can and has been. I need to give my Dealer precise details on how to obtain the directions. Maggie7
