Using wired 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 (dual
play) allows the front seat

while the rear seat passengers listen to another. However, front and rear
seat passengers cannot listen to two different radio stations
simultaneously.
To activate from the rear seat controls, press the
/control and
plug a 3.5mm headphone into the headphone jack. With the headphones

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

audio controls to disable the rear
seat controls. They will remain disabled until the front seat passengers

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
