A/V INPUTS
WARNING: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. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an auxiliary audio/video source
(game systems, personal camcorders, etc.) by connecting RCA cords
(not included) to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red and white
and are located behind a small access door on the instrument panel or in
your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as
an auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play
music from your portable music
player over the vehicle speakers.
Simply plug in your 1/8 in. (3.5mm)
RCA adapter into the two left A/V
input jacks (red and white).

To access,
1. Press the lower left corner of the touchscreen.
2. Then, selectA/V inputs.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature:Ensure that your portable
music player is designed to be used with headphones and that it is fully
charged. You will also need an audio extension cable with stereo male
1/8 in. (3.5 mm) connectors at one end and a RCA jack at the other.
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio and portable device are
turned off.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output
of your player and the other end into the adaptor in one of the two left
A/V input jacks (white or red) inside the center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned
station from the FM tab or the CD tab (if there is a CD already loaded
into the system.) Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
4. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the
volume.
5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V in tab.
(You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may
be low.)
6. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the
level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the
controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod/iPhone(if
compatible),you MUST have a special combination USB/RCA composite
video cable (available for purchase from Apple). Once the cable is
connected to your iPod/iPhone, plug in the other end into both the
RCA jacks and the USB port.
Troubleshooting:
•Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. The AIJ will
only work correctly with devices that have a headphone output with a
volume control.
•Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio as this will
cause distortion and will reduce sound quality.
•If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace
or recharge the batteries in the portable music player.

•The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner
when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control
(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.
•For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your
portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is
moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle
is in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow
the portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in
motion.
