CD player LINCOLN MKZ 2014 Owners Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and
Reception Factors
AM and FM frequencies are
established by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC). Those frequencies are:
• AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz
• FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one
and result in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note:
CD units play commercially
pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter)
audio compact discs only. Due to
technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when
used in Ford CD players. Note:
Do not insert CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels
into the CD player as the label may
peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. You should use a permanent
felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs.
Please contact an authorized dealer
for further information.
Note: Do not use any irregularly
shaped discs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
Always handle discs by their edges
only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the
center of the disc toward the edge. Do
not clean in a circular motion.

Audio System

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources for extended periods.
MP3 Track and Folder
Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing
and playing MP3 individual tracks and
folder structures work as follows:
• There are two different modes forMP3 disc playback: MP3 track
mode (system default) and MP3
folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on
the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a
maximum of T255. The maximum
number of playable MP3 files may
be less depending on the structure
of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
• MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one
level of folders. The CD player
numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension)
and all folders containing MP3
files, from F001 (folder) T001
(track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of folders helps with navigation
through the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs,
it is important to understand how the
system reads the structures you
create. While various files may be
present, (files with extensions other
than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension are played; other files are
ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a
variety of tasks on your work
computer, home computer and your
in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays
and plays the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files
play, regardless of being in a specific
folder). In folder mode, the system
only plays the .mp3 files in the current
folder.

WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
hand-held device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
Note: The MyLincoln Touch system
controls most of the audio features.

• Only use the sealing compoundbefore the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand
corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle). Check
the use by date regularly and
replace the canister after four
years.
• Do not store the kit unsecured inside the passenger compartment
of the vehicle as it may cause injury
during a sudden stop or crash.
Always store the kit in its original
location.
• After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring system sensor and
valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized Ford
dealer.
• When inflating a tire or other objects, use the black air hose only.
Do not use the transparent hose
which is designed for sealant
application only.
• Operating the kit could cause an electrical disturbance in radio, CD,
and DVD player operation.
What to do when a Tire Is
Punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread
area can be repaired in two stages
with the kit. • In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing
compound and air. After the tire
has been reinflated, you will need
to drive the vehicle a short
distance (about 4 miles [6
kilometers]) to distribute the
sealant in the tire.
• In the second stage, you will need to check the tire pressure and
adjust, if necessary, to the vehicle's
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with Sealing Compound and Air
WARNINGS
Do not stand directly over the kit
while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall
during inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance.
If the tire doesn't inflate to the
recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call
roadside assistance.
Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe,
level and secure area, away from
moving traffic. Turn the hazard lights
on. Apply the parking brake and turn
the engine off. Inspect the flat tire for
visible damage.
Sealant compound contains latex. To
avoid any allergic reactions, use the
non-latex gloves located in the
accessory box on the underside of the
kit housing.

Privacy Information
When you connect a cellular phone
to SYNC, the system creates a profile
within your vehicle that links to that
cellular phone. This profile helps in
offering you more cellular features
and operating more efficiently. Among
other things, this profile may contain
data about your cellular phone book,
text messages (read and unread), and
call history, including history of calls
when your cell phone was not
connected to the system. In addition,
if you connect a media device, the
system creates and retains an index
of supported media content. The
system also records a short
development log of approximately 10
minutes of all recent system activity.
The log profile and other system data
may be used to improve the system
and help diagnose any problems that
may occur. The cellular profile, media device
index, and development log remain in
your vehicle unless you delete them
and are generally accessible only in
your vehicle when the cellular phone
or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or
your vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all
stored information.
System data cannot be accessed
without special equipment and access
to your vehicle's SYNC module. Ford
Motor Company and Ford of Canada
do not access the system data for any
purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or
where required by law enforcement,
other
government authorities, or other
third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to

Available)
Note:
HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver that
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts, it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal-clear audio and no
static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available
stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to
a station broadcasting HD Radio
technology, you may notice the
following indicators on your screen:
E142616
The HD Radio logo blinks when
acquiring a digital station and stays
solid when digital audio is playing.
When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen.
367
MyLincoln Touch™

The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The highlighted numbers
signify available digital channels
where new or different content is
available. HD1 signifies the main
programming status and is available
in analog and digital broadcasts.
Other multicast stations (HD2 through
HD7) are only available digitally.
TA G allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the
feature is on. To turn the feature on
and use it:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TA G
Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TA G .
3. The system automatically saves the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when you
connect it to the system. The
system automatically transfers the
tag to your player (if already
connected) and a pop-up confirms
the transfer. 4. When you access iTunes with your
portable music player, the tags
appear to you as a reminder. The
system allows you to tag up to
approximately 100 songs. For a list
of devices that support tagging,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions:
• Scan allows you to hear a brief
sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD
Radio reception is on, although it
does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital
broadcast.
• Memory presets allow you to
save an active channel as a
memory preset. Touch and hold a
memory preset slot until the sound
returns. There is a brief mute while
the radio saves the station. Sound
returns when finished. When
switching to an HD2 or HD3
memory preset, the sound mutes
before the digital audio plays,
because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
Note: As with any saved radio station,
you cannot access the saved station if
your vehicle is outside the station’s
reception area.
