2004 LINCOLN AVIATOR Owners Manual

DVD interaction (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a DVD player. Your Lincoln
Navigation System (LNS) will interact with your DVD player, providing
you access and messages to the status of the system.
²Press AUDIO.
²Press DVD to access the DVD
screen.
You may select from different chapters, rewind or fast forward within the
current chapter, stop, play or pause the DVD. You may also select DVD
AUX mode (which would allow you to plug in and play games) and to
enable/disable headphones. For further information, refer to your DVD
supplement.
General information
Safety information
Please read and follow all stated safety precautions. Failure to do
so may increase your risk of collision and personal injury. Ford
Motor Company shall not be liable for any damages of any type
arising from failure to follow these guidelines.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the system. See your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.
The driver must not attempt to operate any detailed operation of
the navigation 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 performing detailed operations.
If the system is used for an extended period of time with the
vehicle stationary, ensure that the engine is running to avoid
draining the battery.
Do not apply pressure to the display screen.

The navigation system is not a substitute for your personal judgement.
Route suggestions should not supersede local traffic regulations or safe
driving practices.
Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe
or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would
route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Drivers should not rely on screen displays while their vehicle is in
motion. Let the voice guide you. If viewing is necessary, pull off the road
to a safe location.
Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services.
For road safety reasons, the driver should program the system only when
the vehicle is stationary. Certain functions will therefore not operate
while the vehicle is in motion.
The map database DVD does not reflect road detours, closures or
construction, road characteristics such as rough road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, traffic congestion, weather or similar
conditions.
To use the system as effectively and safely as possible, obtain an
up-to-date map database DVD whenever they become available.
Set the volume level so that you can hear directions clearly.
Do not disassemble or modify the system as this may lead to damage and
void your warranty. If a problem occurs, stop using the system
immediately and contact your Ford or Lincoln Dealer.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Compliance
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln Mercury could
void user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The database reflects reality as existing before you received the
database and it comprises data and information from government
and other sources, which may contain errors and omissions.
Accordingly, the database may contain inaccurate or incomplete
information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances,
and due to the nature of the sources used. The database does not
include or reflect information on neighborhood safety, law
enforcement, emergency assistance, construction work, road or
lane closures, vehicle or speed restrictions, road slope or grade,
bridge height, weight or other limits, road or traffic conditions,
special events, traffic congestion, or travel time.
Radio reception factors
There are certain factors that may effect your radio reception.
²Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by ªsignal modulation.º Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
²Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle's
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its ªshadowº) returns your reception to normal.
²Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
Principles of GPS (global positioning system) operation
Your system directs you based on information derived from global
positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, sensors in your
vehicle and the desired destination. The system compiles all necessary
information to guide you to your selected destination. Space satellites
determine the vehicle's current location and transmit position and time
signals to your car.
If the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation
function may be temporarily unresponsive. The navigation system will
operate reliably again once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.

Limited GPS reception
System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is
interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The
following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the
vehicle is:
²in multi-story parking garages
²in tunnels and under bridges
²inside or in between buildings
²by forests or tree-lined avenues
²in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms
²in valleys and in mountainous regions
²roads under cliffs
Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf.
If your windows are tinted, ensure that you use non-metal tinting instead
of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can interrupt GPS reception.
Cleaning the display
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a
soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should
be used.
²Recommended products- Rubbing alcohol based cleaner (i.e., methyl
alcohol) or a damp clean cloth.
²Not harmful but not recommended- ammonia cleaner, neutral
detergent.
²Harmful to system and not recommended- acid cleaner, alkali cleaner,
benzene cleaner.
Do not clean any part of the system with benzene, paint thinner or any
other solvent.
Do not spill liquids of any kind onto the unit.

Loading the map DVD
²Your navigation DVD unit is located in the jack compartment.
²Ensure that the vehicle ignition is ON.
²If a DVD is already loaded in the Navigation unit, push the eject
button.
²Load the DVD with the printed side up. Do not allow moisture or
foreign objects to enter the slot.
The navigation system utilizes a database stored in a special format on a
DVD. It is recommended always to use the latest update of this map
DVD.
²The navigation system will only work with DVDs specifically intended
for your navigation system.
²Always store the map DVDs in their protective cases when not in use.
Ordering additional map DVDs
If you wish to order a replacement or additional map, please call
1±888±NAV-MAPS (1±888±628±6277) or to log onto www.navtech.com.
Latest map DVDs
The map content is constantly changing due to new roads, traffic
restrictions, etc. . Therefore, it is not always possible to exactly match
the DVD map with the current roadways. For best results, always use the
latest version of the map DVD. Map information is regularly updated, but
all areas are not necessarily covered to the same level of detail. Some
areas, in particular private roads, may not be included on the database.
To help with accuracy, always use the latest DVD version for navigation.
Customer service
If you need help operating your navigation/audio system, want to report
a map database error or want to obtain a map DVD, please call 1 (888)
628±6277 (NAV-MAPS) or log onto www.navtech.com.
