The CD magazine may be inserted or ejected with the radio power off.
ONLY use the magazine supplied with the CD DJ, other types will
damage the unit.
Keep the CD DJ door closed. Coins and foreign objects will damage the
CD player and void your audio system warranty.
The CD magazine does not have to be full (all 6 disks) for the CD DJ to
function.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 12 cm (4.75 in)
audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function
correctly when used in Ford CD players. Irregular shaped CDs,
CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into
the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be identified
with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ball
point pens may damage CDs. Please contact your dealer for
further information.

disc number are displayed. The unit then selects the next available disc.
During normal operations, CDs and tracks are played sequentially in
ascending order. Playback continues at track one if the end of a disc is
reached and with CD DJ playback, disc one will follow disc six.

seat passengers to operate and listen to a different playing media than
the front seat passengers. To engage the rear seat controls from the VNR
system:

/button). The front speakers play the selected media
and the rear speakers mute. In this mode, the rear passengers may
adjust the volume and other levels using the rear seat control.
Additionally in Dual Play mode, the front and rear seat passengers can
listen to the same playing media. However, rear seat passengers listen to
the media over their headphones (thereby being able to adjust the
volume) and the front seat passengers listen via the front seat speakers.
Press the headphone/speaker control again to disengage the rear seat
controls (and Dual Play mode). The system returns to Single Play mode.
Front and rear speakers will play the selected media.
For further information on the rear seat controls, refer toRear Seat
Controlssection found earlier in this chapter.

your route to get you back to an appropriate road to your
destination.

Principles of GPS (Global Positioning System) operation
Your Vehicle Navigation System directs you based on information derived
from satellites, road maps stored on the CD, 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 in a few minutes.
