in and play a variety of standard video games. Please review this user
manual to become familiar with the RSES features and controls as well
as the very important safety information.
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 entertainment
system. See your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the video cassette player (VCP) tape
cassette compartment.
The front glass on the liquid crystal display 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.
Do not expose the liquid crystal display to direct sunlight or
intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive periods of time.
Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.

the Floor Console when the vehicle is moving. Give full attention
to driving and the road. Pull off the road and park in a safe place to
insert or remove video tapes from the VCP. A remote control is

Inserting/removing cassette
Inserting cassette
Driver should never operate
any function of the VCP
mounted in the Floor Console
when the vehicle is moving. Give
full attention to driving and the
road. Pull off the road and park in
a safe place to insert or remove
video tapes from the VCP. A
remote control is included in the
system to allow rear seat
occupants to operate the VCP
functions without distracting the
driver.
²Open the RSES floor console cover, and slide a videocassette into the
cassette compartment.
Inserting a videocassette into the VCP automatically turns the power ON
(the RED power indicator lamp will illuminate) and the tape will begin
playback.
If the vehicle is traveling over rough terrain, it may be difficult to insert
the cassette because the machine attempts to hold the cassette firmly to
prevent vibration. If this condition is encountered, the passenger should
either press firmly or remove the cassette and insert it again. If a
cassette is inserted in the wrong position, the protection circuit will
automatically eject the cassette. If this occurs, the passenger should wait
a few seconds and insert the cassette again in the correct position.
²Once the cassette is completely inserted, close the console cover.
