Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Your vehicle is equipped with a Family Entertainment System (FES)
which provides for radio rear seat controls, and allows you to listen to
audio CDs, MP3 discs, watch DVDs and to plug in and play a variety of
standard video game systems. The DVD player is capable of playing
standard DVDs and CDs and is compatible with some CDR/RW media.
Please review this user manual to become familiar with the FES features
and controls as well as the very important safety information. Should you
have any questions regarding your system, please feel free to call the toll
free assistance hotline at 1 (877) 848–6434.
Safety information
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating the
system and retain for future reference.
Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the Family Entertainment
System (FES). See your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
Do not insert foreign objects into the DVD compartment.
The front glass on the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down
screen may break when hit with a hard surface. If the glass
breaks, do not touch the liquid crystalline material. In case of contact
with skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
The driver must not attempt to operate any function of the DVD
system while the vehicle is in motion. Give full attention to
driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park in a safe place
before inserting or extracting DVDs from the system. A remote control
is included in the system to allow the rear seat occupants to operate
the FES functions without distracting the driver.
Do not expose the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen
to direct sunlight or intensive ultraviolet rays for extensive
periods of time. Ultraviolet rays deteriorate the liquid crystal.
Be sure to review User Manuals for video games and video game
equipment when used as auxiliary inputs for your Family Entertainment
System (FES).
Do not operate video games or video equipment if the power cords
and/or cables are broken, split or damaged. Carefully place cords and/or
cables where they will not be stepped on or interfere with the operation
of seats and/or compartments.

Introduction
Disconnect video games and video equipment power cords and/or cables
when not in use.
Avoid touching auxiliary input jacks with your fingers. Do not blow on
them or allow them to get wet or dirty.
Do not clean any part of the DVD player with benzene, paint thinner or
any other solvent.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Compliance
Changes or modifications not approved by Ford Lincoln-Mercury could
void user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference and radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Care and service of the DVD player
Environmental extremes
DVD players which are subjected to harsh environmental conditions may
be damaged or perform at less than maximum capability. To avoid these
outcomes, whenever possible avoid exposing your DVD player to:
• extremely hot or cold temperatures.
• direct sunlight.
• high humidity.
• a dusty environment.
• locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.
Temperature extremes
When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold
place for a long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the
vehicle is at normal temperature before operating the system.

Introduction
Humidity and moisture condensation
Moisture in the air will condense in the DVD player under extremely
humid conditions or when moving from a cold place to a warm one.
Moisture condensation may cause damage to the DVD and/or player. If
moisture condensation occurs, do not insert a CD or DVD into the
player. If one is already in the player, remove it.
Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the DVD
player compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind
onto the media controls or into the system. If liquid is accidentally
spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF and consult a
qualified service technician.
Cleaning the liquid crystal display (LCD) flip-down screen
Clean the display screen by applying a small amount of water or any
ammonia-based household glass cleaner directly to a soft cloth. Rub the
screen gently until the dust, dirt or fingerprints are removed. Do not
spray the screen directly with water or glass cleaning solvents. Overspray
from these fluids could drip down into the internal electronics of the
screen and cause damage. Do not apply excessive pressure while
cleaning the screen.
Cleaning and care of DVD and CD discs
Avoid getting the following elements on the surface of the DVD disc:
fingerprints, dust, splashes of soda, scratches, etc.
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved DVD and CD cleaner and wipe from the
center out to the edge. Do not use circular motion. Keep recorded CDs
away from direct sunlight. UV radiation will shorten the lifetime of the
reflective dye layer rendering it unplayable.
Cleaning the DVD player
Only use specialized cleaning discs in the system if frozen pictures and
intermittent audio is a problem, even when using a clean DVD. If you do
use these products, ensure that the cleaning discs are specified for DVD
players, not CD players as the cleaning brush is different and may
damage your system. Overuse of these products may cause damage to
the delicate laser lens assembly and other cleaning methods may destroy
the lens.
Smoking in the vehicle may cause damage to the lens which is not able
to be cleaned with the standard brush-type cleaning disc.

Parental control — DVD only
This FES features the Parental control system which is intended to
activate when playing DVD discs furnished with certain software coding.
DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for children. Therefore, the disc
may contain ’Parental control’ information which applies to the complete
disc or to certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated from 1 to 8,
and alternative, more suitable scenes are available on the disc. Ratings
are country dependent. Therefore, you must ensure that your country is
set accurately. Refer to Setting your country.
The ’Parental Control’ feature allows you to prevent discs from being
played by your children or to have certain discs played with alternative
scenes. The Parental control system will not operate a DVD disc which is
not furnished with the appropriate software coding. When in doubt,
ensure that the disc plays according to your Parental control settings
before you allow children to access to the player.
