A/V INPUTS
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that
drivers use extreme caution when using any device that may take their
focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of
the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device

that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an auxiliary audio/video source
(game systems, personal camcorders, etc.) by connecting RCA cords
(not included) to these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red and white
and are located behind a small access door on the instrument panel or in
your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as
an auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play
music from your portable music
player over the vehicle speakers.
Simply plug in your 1/8 in. (3.5mm)
RCA adapter into the two left A/V
input jacks (red and white).
