Your Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSES) allows you to watch movie
rentals and your favorite home videocassettes. It also allows you to plug
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 (RSES). See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the videocassette player (VCP)
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.
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.
The driver must not attempt to operate any function of the floor
console mounted videocassette player (VCP) 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 video tapes
from the VCP. A remote control is included in the system to allow the
rear seat occupants to operate the VCP functions without distracting
the driver.
Be sure to review User Manuals for video games and video game
equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your Rear Seat
Entertainment System (RSES).
Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords
and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or
cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation
of seats and/or compartments.
