INTRODUCTION
Your vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat DVD Entertainment System
which allows you to listen to audio CDs, watch DVDs and to plug in and
play a variety of standard video games. The DVD player is capable of
playback of standard DVDs, CDs and CD-R/RW media. This includes CDs
with MP3 format.
Please review this user manual to become familiar with the features and
controls as well as the very important safety information. If you have any
questions regarding the operation of your system, please call 1 (800)
231–6085. For system repair or warranty repairs, please contact your
local Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealer.
Safety information
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating the
system and retain for future reference.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the Rear Seat DVD System.
See your dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the DVD compartment.
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.
The driver must 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 and park 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 system functions without distracting the driver.
Do not expose the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen
to direct sunlight or intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive
periods of time. Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.
Be sure to review User Manuals for video games and video game
equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your Rear Seat DVD
System.
