Using wired headphones/Personal Audio Feature
Single play mode will allow all
passengers to listen to the same
media source through all speakers.
The Personal Audio Feature (dual
play) allows the front seat
passengers to listen to one source (radio, TAPE, CD, DVD, or AUX)
while the rear seat passengers listen to another. However, front and rear
seat passengers cannot listen to two different radio stations
simultaneously.
To activate from the rear seat controls, press the
/control and
plug a 3.5mm headphone into the headphone jack. With the headphones
ON, the rear speakers will not operate. In this mode, the headphones are
enabled (dual play mode). The rear seat passengers have control over
the desired volume levels.
Press the MEDIA control to toggle to the desired media source.
Use the SEEK, VOLUME and MEM controls to make any desired
adjustments.
Press the
/control again to engage the rear speakers and
deactivate the Personal Audio Feature. In this mode, you can adjust the
audio output to all system speakers—front and rear together. The rear
seat passengers cannot raise the volume of the system above the level on
the front radio bezel.
Parental control
Your Entertainment System allows you to have control over the rear seat
controls. The DVD system is automatically activated when the ignition is
ON. This enables rear seat passengers to utilize the Rear Seat Controls
(RSC). Once the headphone mode is activated, the
symbol will
appear in the radio display.
Press the memory preset controls 3
and 5 simultaneously on the front
audio controls to disable the rear
seat controls. They will remain disabled until the front seat passengers
“enable”them again by simultaneously pressing the 3 and 5 preset
controls. The settings of the front seat controls will always override
those of the rear seat controls.

This unit is designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs and DVDs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford DVD/CD
players. Irregular shaped discs, discs with a scratch protection
film attached, and discs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels
should not be inserted into the player. The label may peel and
cause the disc to become jammed. It is recommended that
homemade discs be identified with permanent felt tip marker
rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage discs.
Please contact your dealer for further information.
Inserting a CD/DVD

English/metric display
Press this control to change the trip
computer display between metric
and English units.
Mode control
Each press of the MODE control will
display a different feature as follows:
Average fuel economy.The
display will indicate the vehicle’s
average fuel economy in miles/gallon
or liters/100 km since the average
fuel economy was last reset.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel
used by 100 miles traveled
(kilometers traveled by liters used), your figure may be different than
displayed for the following reasons:
•your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•rounding of the displayed values to the nearest gallon (liter)
To reset the average fuel economy:
1. Press the MODE control repeatedly until average fuel economy is
displayed (this is the only resettable display).

2. Press the E/M and MODE
controls simultaneously. The display
will illuminate the“AV G”indicator.

both controls to reset the average
fuel economy.
Fuel range.This function estimates approximately how far you can
drive with the fuel remaining in your tank under normal driving
conditions. Remember to turn the ignition OFF when refueling to allow
this feature to correctly detect the added fuel.
The DTE function will flash for 5 seconds when you have approximately:
•50 miles (80 km) left before you run out of fuel
•25 miles (40 km )
•10 miles (16 km)
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Outside air temperature (if equipped)
The temperature can be displayed in
Centigrade or Fahrenheit by
pressing the E/M control.
If the outside temperature falls
below 38°F(3°C), the display will
alternate from“ICE”to the outside
temperature at a two second rate
for one minute.
Off.In this mode the display is off.
Compass

The compass heading is displayed in average fuel economy modes, fuel
range modes and temperature modes.
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large

Press the control repeatedly until
the correct zone setting for your geographic location is displayed on the
trip computer.

HOMELINKWIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinkWireless Control System, located on the driver’s visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate operators,
security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkWireless Control System to
a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkWireless Control System with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLinkat:www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelinkbuttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programmingin this section.
