Troubleshooting:
1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level
outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not
compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices
that have a headphone output with a volume control.
2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is
necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio
system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many
portable music players have different output levels, so not all players
should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full
volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
USB port

FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT DVD SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
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 or feature 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 vehicle may be equipped with a Family Entertainment System (FES)
which allows you to listen to audio CDs, MP3 discs, watch DVDs and to
plug in and play a variety of standard video game systems. The
headrest-mounted DVD players are capable of playing standard DVDs, CDs,
MP3s and are compatible with Video CD, HDCD, Hybrid SACD (play CD
layer only), SVCD, DVD-video, JPEGs, up to MPEG-4 files, MP3 files and
WMA media. Please review this material to become familiar with the FES
features and controls as well as the very important safety information.
Quick start
Your family entertainment system includes two headrest-mounted DVD
player/screens, two sets of wireless infrared (IR) headphones and a
wireless infrared (IR) remote control capable of controlling either DVD
player. Both DVD players are capable of playing their own independent
media, or they can both watch the same media.
When in single play mode, the headrest video sources that have been
selected at each headrest will play through the speakers, but no audio is
available through the headphones.
To play a DVD
1. Insert a DVD into the system, label side facing the rear passengers.
The disc slot indicator lights will illuminate. The system will
automatically load the disc and it will begin to play. LOADING will
appear in the screen.
2. If there is already a disc in the system, press the power button on the
DVD system and then press
(Play) to begin to play the disc.

Battery replacement
Batteries are supplied with the
remote control unit. Since all
batteries have a limited shelf life,
replace them when the unit fails to
control the DVD player.
Remove the screw and unlatch the battery cover to access the batteries.
The remote control unit uses two AAA batteries which are supplied with
the unit.
Headphones
Wireless headphones
WARNING:The driver should never use the headphones while
driving the vehicle. Using headphones may prevent the driver
from hearing audible warnings such as horns or emergency sirens,
which could result in a crash causing serious injury. Give your full
attention to driving and to the road.
Your FES system is equipped with two sets of battery powered, infrared
wireless headphones. Two AAA batteries are needed to operate the
headphones. (Batteries are included.)
Additional infrared wireless headphones may be purchased for use with
the system. Also, wired headphones may be purchased and plugged in

Ensure that the headphones are turned off when not in use. After
approximately one minute of not being in use (no infrared signal is
received), the wireless headphones will automatically turn off. They will
also turn off after two hours of continuous use as a power save feature.
If this happens, simply turn the headphones on again and continue use.
Wired headphones
WARNING:Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and
do not let children operate the system while unsupervised. If
wired headphones or auxiliary systems are used, children may become
entangled in the cords and seriously injure themselves.
WARNING:The driver should never use the headphones while
driving the vehicle. Using headphones may prevent the driver
from hearing audible warnings such as horns or emergency sirens,
which could result in a crash causing serious injury. Give your full
attention to driving and to the road.
Wired headphone jacks on the FES (Family Entertainment System) are
universal so you may purchase and use additional wired headphones for
your system. Plug them into the 3.5 mm headphone jack(s) located
behind the trim covers on the face of each monitor. These headphones
will be active when in Dual Play mode.
To listen to the audio on wired headphones (not included), connect the
wired headphones into the monitor headphone jacks. Available wired
headphone sources are limited to the sources available to whichever
monitor is being listened to. Adjust the volume using the volume control
on the DVD system remote control.
Operation
Single play/dual play
Your DVD and audio system work together with the infrared headphones
and wired headphones (not included) to allow the rear seat passengers
to listen to the radio (and other media sources) over the headphones.
This enables the front and rear seat passengers to listen to a variety of
sources a variety of ways.
Single Play:Single play consists of all occupants in the vehicle listening
to the same playing media over the front and rear speakers. When the
DVD system is on and in single play, the same source will play through
all vehicle speakers.

WARNING:The front glass on the liquid crystal display (LCD)
flip-down screen may break when hit with a hard surface. If the
glass breaks, do not touch the liquid crystalline material. In case of
contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
WARNING:The driver should not attempt to operate any
function of the DVD system while the vehicle is in motion. Give
full attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road in a safe
place before inserting or extracting DVDs from the system. A remote
control is included in the system to allow the rear seat occupants to
operate the FES functions without distracting the driver.
