Using headphones/Personal Audio Feature
Single play mode will allow all
passengers to listen to the same
media source through all speakers.
The Personal Audio Feature allows
the front seat passengers to listen to
one source (radio, TAPE, CD, CDDJ, DVD, or AUX) while the rear seat
passengers listen to another.
To activate from the rear seat controls, press the
/
control and
plug a 3.5mm headphone into the headphone jack. With the headphones
ON, the rear speakers will not operate. In this mode, the headphones are
enabled. The rear seat passengers have control over the desired volume
levels.
Press the MODE control to toggle to the desired media source.
Use the SEEK, VOLUME and MEM controls to make any desired
adjustments.
Press the
/
control again to engage the rear speakers and
deactivate the Personal Audio Feature. In this mode, you can adjust the
audio output to all system speakers — front and rear together. The rear
seat passengers can not raise the volume of the system above the level
on the front radio bezel.
Parental control
Your Entertainment System allows you to have control over the rear seat
controls. The DVD system is automatically activated when the ignition is
ON. This enables rear seat passengers to utilize the Rear Seat Controls
(RSC). Once the headphone mode is activated, the
symbol will
appear in the radio display.
Press the memory preset controls 3
and 5 simultaneously on the front
audio controls to disable the rear
seat controls. They will remain disabled until the front seat passengers
“enable” them again by simultaneously pressing the 3 and 5 preset
controls. The settings of the front seat controls will always override
those of the rear seat controls.

General operating tips
•When the engine is not running, use the system sparingly otherwise it
will run the battery down.
•When the ignition is turned to OFF, the Rear Seat Entertainment DVD
System is also turned OFF. When the ignition is turned ON, the
system will begin playback from the last selected media source when
the play control is pressed.
•To disable the DVD player, simultaneously press the 3 and 5 memory
presets on the radio face. To enable the DVD player again, press the 3
and 5 presets simultaneously.
•The DVD player is only capable of reading the bottom side of a disc.
When inserting a single sided disc, the label should be up. For a
multi-sided disc, the desired play side should be down when the disc
is inserted into the player.
•The DVD player is only capable of playback of DVDs and CDs. The
player is not compatible with CDR/RW media.
•DVDs are formatted by regions. This DVD system can only play region
1 DVDs (DVDs manufactured in U.S and Canada).
This unit is designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75
in) audio compact discs and DVDs only. Due to technical
incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when used in Ford DVD/CD
players. Irregular shaped discs, discs with a scratch protection
film attached, and discs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels
should not be inserted into the player. The label may peel and
cause the disc to become jammed. It is recommended that
homemade discs be identified with permanent felt tip marker
rather than adhesive labels. Ball point pens may damage discs.
Please contact your dealer for further information.
Inserting a CD/DVD

automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. (Note that A/C will
not be displayed in the display window.) Recirculation and A/C
override controls cannot be selected. For added customer comfort, the

with the ignition in the ON position.
Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT TEMP to display the
outside air temperature. It will be

seconds have passed, the outside temperature will return to the display
window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the EATC system is in the
OFF mode and then is turned on, the outside temperature will return to
the display window.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station location.
Operating tips
•In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
or rear defrost before driving. This will reduce fogging on your
windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position or
