Introduction

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle and its equipment? In this guide, answers to such questions are contained in comments highlighted by the warning triangle symbol. These comments should be read and observed.

Warning symbols on your vehicle

When you see this symbol, it is imperative that you consult the relevant section of this guide before touching or attempting adjustment of any kind.

Protecting the environment

We must all play our part in protecting the environment. Correct vehicle usage and the authorized disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication materials are significant steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this guide with the tree symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust themselves to other parts.

Drive your new vehicle at least 800 km (500 miles) before towing a trailer.

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand kilometers (miles) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and specifications chapter for more information on oil usage.

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

Service engine soon

The ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control

systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing.

Light remains on:

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened. These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the

light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

GAUGES

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area between the “H” and “C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling

system can burn you badly.

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate. If the gauge enters the red section, the oil pressure/engine coolant and Check Engine/Service Engine Soon indicators illuminate, refer to What you should know about fail-safe cooling in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

2003 Aviator f/k/a Navigator LS (231) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade.

When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.

If the key is left in the ON position during fueling, a minimum of 22.2 L (six gallons) must be added to the fuel tank in order for the gauge to instantaneously update. If less than six gallons is added, the gauge will take between five to twenty minutes to update.

Speedometer

Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Odometer

Registers the total kilometers (miles) of the vehicle.

Trip odometer

Registers the kilometers (miles) of individual journeys. Press and release the message center INFO button until ’Trip’ appears in the display (this represents the trip mode). Press and hold the RESET button for three seconds to reset.

Radio reception factors

There are certain factors that may effect your radio reception.

• Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.

The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km (24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.

• Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s

antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

• Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger

signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

Principles of GPS (global positioning system) operation

Your system directs you based on information derived from global positioning satellites, road maps stored on the DVD, 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 for a few minutes.

Limited GPS reception

System performance may be adversely affected if GPS reception is interrupted or interference occurs over a distance of several miles. The following are possible causes for GPS reception being interrupted. If the vehicle is:

• in multi-story parking garages

• in tunnels and under bridges

• inside or in between buildings

• by forests or tree-lined avenues

• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms

• in valleys and in mountainous regions

• roads under cliffs

Entertainment Systems

Ensure that you do not have any metal objects on the rear parcel shelf and that if your windows are tinted, they use non-metal tinting instead of metal oxide tinting. Both of these factors can also interrupt GPS reception.

Cleaning the display

Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the unit. Instead, spray onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the unit. Only recommended products should be used.

Do not clean any part of the system with benzene, paint thinner or any other solvent.

Do not spill liquids of any kind onto the unit.

Loading the map DVD

• Your navigation DVD unit is either located: in the front lower center stack area by the passenger’s feet (access door), in the trunk, or in the jack compartment.

• Ensure that the vehicle ignition is ON.

• If a DVD is already loaded in the Navigation unit, push the eject

button.

• Load the DVD with the printed side up. Do not allow moisture or foreign objects to enter the slot.

The navigation system utilizes a database stored in a special format on a DVD. It is recommended always to use the latest update of this map DVD.

• The navigation system will only work with DVDs specifically intended for your navigation system.

• Always store the map DVDs in their protective cases when not in use.

Climate Controls

Automatic operation

Press AUTO and select the desired temperature. The system will either heat or cool the vehicle to achieve the selected temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is required.

When in automatic operation and weather conditions require heat, the air will be sent to the floor ducts. However, until the engine is warmed, the fan speed will operate at a low speed and airflow will be directed to the windshield defroster ducts. Upon engine warm up, the system will automatically direct airflow to the floor ducts and operate at the required fan speed to achieve the selected temperature.

If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging, etc.), the manual overrides allow you to select airflow locations and fan speed. To return to automatic operation after an airflow selection, press AUTO.

Single/dual temperature zone

Press DUAL to enable or disable the dual zone temperature feature. When DUAL is pressed, the display window indicates the current temperature setting for the driver and the last temperature setting for the passenger. In addition to the DUAL control, the passenger may manually enable the dual zone temperature feature by pressing the passenger temperature control.

The DUAL indicator will be lit when the dual zone temperature feature is selected.

Driver/passenger temperature selection

Climate Controls

• Recirculated air

(recirculated air) — Used to manually enable or disable the operation of recirculated air in all modes except Defrost. When the air conditioning is operating, recirculated air helps to reduce the amount of time required to cool the inside of the vehicle. Recirculated air will reduce undesirable odors

from entering the vehicle. Recirculated air cannot be selected in Defrost, as interior fogging may

occur. In Floor and Floor and Defrost modes, the recirculated air control can be enabled. However, to reduce the risk of fogging, the recirculated air button will be disabled in approximately 4 minutes.

In automatic operation, the recirculated air operates automatically as necessary to achieve the selected temperature. If desired, recirculated air can be controlled manually through the use of the recirculated air control. When recirculated air is controlled while in automatic operation, the AUTO indicator will remain lit and the system will remain in automatic operation. To return to automatic recirculated air, press AUTO.

Climate Controls

• Do not place objects under the front seat or over the defroster ducts.

They may reduce visibility, fall into the ducts, or degrade the performance of your climate control system.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these

objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROLS

The auxiliary climate control feature provides increased capacity to quickly heat or cool the vehicle. The auxiliary climate controls are located in the overhead console of the first row seating and in the floor console of the second row seating.

The auxiliary climate controls are independent of the main climate control system. If the main climate control system is in the Off position, the auxiliary climate controls will still operate. However, if the main climate control system is ON, the auxiliary air will not be cooled unless the air conditioning is functioning on the main climate control system.

The auxiliary unit can be controlled either by the front seat passengers using the front auxiliary control or by the rear seat passengers using the rear auxiliary control, but not both. To control the auxiliary unit using the rear control, the front control must be in the REAR position.
