2014 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID ECO mode

MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 individual tracks and folder
structures work as follows:
•
There are two different modes for MP3
disc playback: MP3 track mode (system
default) and MP3 folder mode.
• MP3 track mode ignores any folder
structure on the MP3 disc. The player
numbers each MP3 track on the disc
(noted by the .mp3 file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3 files
may be less depending on the
structure of the CD and exact model
of radio present.
• MP3 folder mode represents a folder
structure consisting of one level of
folders. The CD player numbers all
MP3 tracks on the disc (noted by the
.mp3 file extension) and all folders
containing MP3 files, from F001 (folder)
T001 (track) to F253 T255.
• Creating discs with only one level of
folders helps with navigation through
the disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it
is important to understand how the system
reads the structures you create. While
various files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only files with
the .mp3 extension are played; other files
are ignored by the system. This enables
you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer, home
computer and your in-vehicle system. In track mode, the system displays and
plays the structure as if it were only one
level deep (all .mp3 files play, regardless
of being in a specific folder). In folder
mode, the system only plays the .mp3 files
in the current folder.

the left of west though its true direction is
to the right of west).
Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
The system provides feedback through
audible tones, prompts, questions and
spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request. When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status
bar indicating the status of the voice
session (such as Listening, Success, Failed,
Paused or Try Again).
How to Use Voice Commands with Your
System Press the voice icon. After the
tone, speak your command
clearly.
These commands can be said at any time
during a voice session
"Cancel""Exit"
"Go back"

elements and detailed railway
infrastructure for the most essential cities
around the globe. These maps also
contain features, such as town blocks,
building footprints, and railways.
3D landmarks appear as clear, visible
objects that are typically recognizable and
have a certain tourist value. The 3D
landmarks appear in 3D map mode only.
Coverage varies, and improves with
updated map releases. Change the appearance of the map
display by repeatedly pressing the arrow

This view is available for map scales up to
2.5 miles (4 kilometers). The system
remembers this setting for larger map
scales, but shows the map in North up
only. If the scale returns below this level,
the system restores Heading up. North up (2D map)
always shows
the northern direction to be
upward on the screen. 3D map mode
provides an
elevated perspective of the map.
This viewing angle can be
adjusted and the map can be
rotated 180 degrees by touching the map
twice, and then dragging your finger along
the shaded bar with arrows at the bottom
of the map.
