AUXILIARY INPUT JACK
WARNING:Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that you
use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
your focus off the road. Your primary responsibility is the safe operation
of the vehicle. We recommend against the use of any handheld device
while driving, encourage the use of voice-operated systems when
possible and that you become aware of applicable state and local laws
that may affect use of electronic devices while driving.
WARNING:For safety reasons, do not connect or adjust the
settings on your portable music player while the vehicle is moving.
WARNING:Store the portable music player in a secure location,
such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is
in motion. Hard objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden
stop, which may increase the risk of serious injury. The audio extension
cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
The auxiliary input jack (AIJ) allows
you to connect and play music from
your portable music player through
the vehicle speakers. You can use
any portable music player designed
for use with headphones. Your audio
extension cable must have male
1 8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors
at each end.
1. Make sure the vehicle, radio and portable music player are turned off
and the transmission is in positionP.
2. Plug the extension cable from the portable music player into the AIJ.

Important Notice
It is unlawful in most jurisdictions for a person to drive a motor vehicle
which is equipped with a television viewer or screen that is located in
the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat, or
that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle. In the interest of safety, the unit should never be installed where
it is visible, directly or indirectly, by the operator of the motor vehicle. If
your vehicle is equipped with a wireless rear seat audio system or any
other wireless IR device, power system off in order to operate the DVD
headrest system. If system is powered on, the two systems may interfere
with each other canceling out or creating undesirable audio through the
wireless headphones.
Safety Precaution
For safety reasons, when changing video discs it is recommended that
the vehicle not be in motion, and that you do not allow children to
unfasten safety belts to change discs or make any adjustments to the
system. System adjustments can be accomplished using the remote
control unit, while safety belts remain fastened. Enjoy your
entertainment system but remember that safety of all passengers remains
the number one priority.
Wireless Headphones
This unit includes a built-in dual channel infrared transmitter for use
with a wireless headphone. The volume can then be adjusted with the
controls on each headset. The wireless headphone must be used within a
line of sight from the transmitter as infrared transmission, like visible
light, travels only in a straight line.
Wired Headphones
There is a one-eighth inch headphone jack on the device that can be
used with any standard stereo headphone. Remove and save the
protective plastic cover to access the jacks. Remember to replace the
cover when the jacks are not in use.
A/V Input
An external AV device such as a DVD player, video game device, or other
audio/video device may be connected to the unit by using the “AV
INPUT” port consisting of three RCA jacks (Yellow: Video, Red: Audio-R,
White: Audio-L). To display and listen to the video/audio signal of this
external source, connect the video source RCA cables to the AV inputs
on the monitor. The video source overrides any other video source for
that monitor.

Wireless FM Transmitter
Your device may be equipped with an external FM transmitter, which
allows you to listen to the audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s FM radio
to the selected frequency and turning SOUND AROUND on with the
remote. Whenever the SOUND AROUND is on, broadcast radio reception
may be poor. Performance varies based on geographic location. Turning
SOUND AROUND off allows normal radio reception.
How to use the FM Transmitter
Power up your system and place a disc in monitor “A”. While pointing
your remote at the monitor press the “DVD A” button directly under the
red “POWER” button on your remote control. Next press the “Sound
Around ON/ OFF” button to turn FM transmission on or off as desired.
Three buttons to right is the “Sound Around SELECT” button which
cycles through six possible stations (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, and
90.3MHz) for broadcasting audio to your radio. Once you’ve selected a
frequency, you must then tune your radio to the corresponding
frequency. Try each station frequency until you achieve a clear audio
signal.
Console Controls
Note:Do not use any solvents or cleaning materials when cleaning the
video device.
Note:Do not use any abrasive cleaners, that may scratch the screen.
Use only a lightly dampened lint free cloth to wipe the screen if it is
dirty.
Note:Lock the LCD screen in the fully closed position when not in use.
Note:Do not put pressure on the screen.
Note:Caution children to avoid touching or scratching the screen, as it
may become dirty or damaged.

The universal garage door opener
replaces the common hand-held
garage door opener with a
three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary
features, a garage door opener and
a platform for remote activation of
devices with the home. As well as being programmed for garage doors,
the system transmitter can be programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be found on-line at www.homelink.com
or by calling the toll-free help line on 1-800-355-3515.
Programming
Note:Put a new battery in the hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Hold the garage door hand-held
transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the button
on the sun visor you want to
program.
Note:During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop
transmitting. If this occurs press and hold the function button while you
press and release the hand-held transmitter every two seconds. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly once the radio frequency
signal is accepted.
3. Press and hold both the button on the sun visor you want to program
and the hand-held transmitter button until the indicator light on the sun
visor changes from flashing slowly to rapidly, then release.

permitted to intentionally remove an emission control device or prevent
it from working. Information about your vehicle’s emission system is on
the Vehicle Emission Control Information Decal located on or near the
engine. This decal also lists engine displacement.
Please consult your warranty information for complete emission warranty
information.
On-board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a computer that monitors the engine’s
emission control system. This system is commonly known as the
on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II). The OBD-II system protects the
environment by ensuring that your vehicle continues to meet
government emission standards. The OBD-II system also assists your
authorized dealer in properly servicing your vehicle.
When the service engine soon indicator illuminates, the OBD-II
system has detected a malfunction. Temporary malfunctions
may cause the service engine soon indicator to illuminate.
Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel—the engine may misfire or run poorly.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel—the engine may misfire or run
poorly.
3. The fuel fill inlet may not have been properly closed. SeeEasy Fuel
“no cap” fuel systemin this chapter.
4. Driving through deep water—the electrical system may be wet.
These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank
with good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel fill inlet or letting the
electrical system dry out. After three driving cycles without these or any
other temporary malfunctions present, the service engine soon indicator
should stay off the next time the engine is started. A driving cycle
consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.
No additional vehicle service is required.
If the service engine soon indicator remains on, have your vehicle
serviced at the first available opportunity. Although some malfunctions
detected by the OBD-II may not have symptoms that are apparent,
continued driving with the service engine soon indicator on can result in
increased emissions, lower fuel economy, reduced engine and
transmission smoothness, and lead to more costly repairs.
