be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these
outcomes, whenever possible avoid exposing your DVD player to:
•extremely hot or cold temperatures.
•direct sunlight.
•high humidity.
•a dusty environment.
•locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the DVD player under extremely
humid conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one. If
moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a CD or DVD into the

Ford Motor Company shall not be liable for any damages of any
type arising from failure to follow these guidelines.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the system. See your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.
The driver must not attempt to operate any detailed operation of
the navigation system while the vehicle is in motion. Give full
attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park in a
safe place before performing detailed operations.
A safety screen will be displayed
each time the navigation system is
turned on as a reminder. Ensure
that you are familiar with the
system’s features and functionality,
including the following:
•Do not turn the ignition key or start the engine while the software is
updating.
•Do not apply pressure to the display screen.
•The navigation system is not a substitute for your personal judgement.
•Route suggestions should not supersede local traffic regulations or
safe driving practices.
•Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or
would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
•Drivers should not rely on screen displays while their vehicle is in
motion. Let the voice guide you. If viewing is necessary, pull off the
road to a safe location.
•Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services.
•For road safety reasons, the driver should program the system only
when the vehicle is stationary. Certain functions will therefore not
operate while the vehicle is in motion.
•The navigation CD does not reflect road detours, closures or
construction, road characteristics such as rough road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, traffic congestion, weather or
similar conditions.

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2.Air flow selections:Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.
MAX A/C:Uses recirculated air
through the instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This mode is
more noisy than A/C, but is more economical and efficient and may help
prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents and
floor ducts.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.
3.A/C:Used to manually enable or disable the operation of the air
conditioning in all modes except Floor & Defrost, Defrost and MAX A/C.
4.
: Clears ice and fog from the rear windshield.
5.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
Since the air conditioner removes moisture from the air, it is considered
normal operation if water drips on the ground under the air conditioner
drain.
The A/C compressor will only function if the outside temperature is
above approximately 2°C (35°F).

Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the O (OFF) or (in cold weather) MAX A/C
position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or O (OFF) when the vehicle is parked. This allows the
vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS/TEMPERATURE DISPLAY WITHOUT
MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED)
Outside air temperature
In vehicles without Dual Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control
(DATC), the outside temperature
display is contained in the
instrument cluster and displays all
the time. In vehicles with DATC, the
temperature displays in the climate control display.
To turn the display off or change the display from English to Metric see
your dealer.
Compass
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas.
Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also
affect compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass calibration adjustment
in this section.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone adjustmentin this section.
