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 for
MP3 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.
See Entertainment (page 367).

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of
position or with the seat back
reclined too far can take weight off
the seat cushion and affect the
decision of the passenger sensing
system, resulting in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with
your feet on the floor. Do not recline the seat back as
this can cause the occupant to
slide under the safety belt, resulting
in serious injury in the event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than
the seat back to reduce the risk
of serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and air bags
will provide optimum protection in the
event of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more
than 30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as
possible. Make sure that you
remain comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel.
We recommend a minimum of 10
inches (25 centimeters) between
your breastbone and the air bag
cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your
arms slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you
can press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint
before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Do not adjust the head restraint when
your vehicle is moving.

WARNINGS
The head restraint is a safety
device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied. Install the head restraint properly
to help minimize the risk of neck
injury in the event of a crash. Note:
Adjust the seatback to an
upright driving position before adjusting
the head restraint. Adjust the head
restraint so that the top of it is level
with the top of your head and as far
forward as possible. Make sure that you
remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint
to its highest position.
