Safety information

SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and follow all stated safety precautions. Failure to do

so may increase your risk of collision and personal injury. Ford
Motor Company shall not be liable for any damages of any type arising
from failure to follow these guidelines.

Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the system. See your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealer.

The driver must not attempt to operate any detailed operation of

the navigation 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 performing detailed operations.

A safety screen will be displayed
each time the navigation system is
turned on as a reminder. Ensure
that you are familiar with the
system’s features and functionality,
including the following:

Do not turn the ignition key or start
the engine while the software is
updating.

Do not apply pressure to the display screen.

The navigation system is not a substitute for your personal judgement.

Route suggestions should not supersede local traffic regulations or safe
driving practices.

Do not follow route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe
or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe situation, or would
route you into an area that you consider unsafe.

Drivers should not rely on screen displays while their vehicle is in
motion. Let the voice guide you. If viewing is necessary, pull off the road
to a safe location.

Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services.

For road safety reasons, the driver should program the system only when
the vehicle is stationary. Certain functions will therefore not operate
while the vehicle is in motion.

Safety information

The map database CD-ROM does not reflect road detours, closures or
construction, road characteristics such as rough road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, traffic congestion, weather or similar
conditions.

To use the system as effectively and safely as possible, obtain up-to-date
map database CD-ROMs whenever they become available.

Set the volume level so that you can hear directions clearly.

Do not disassemble or modify the system as this may lead to damage and
void your warranty. If a problem occurs, stop using the system
immediately and contact your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealer.

Introduction

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Navigation Radio (VNR) which
allows you to listen to the radio, play CDs and also navigate the vehicle
using navigation CDs.

Your Vehicle Navigation Radio is equipped with many different features
and controls. The labeled controls on the front face of the system (which
are called out below) are known as hard keys. The five blank controls
located under the MENU control are called soft keys. These controls are
labeled on the screen and can change functionality depending on which
screen is activated in the display. The hard keys will be explained further
below and the soft keys will be described as needed in the rest of the
supplement.

Should you have any questions regarding your system, please feel free to
call the toll free assistance hotline at 1 (866) 847–8457.

AM/FM

AM/FM select in radio mode

This control allows you to select AM or FM frequency bands. Press the
control to switch between AM, FM1 or FM2 memory preset stations.

12

Audio features

AM/FM select in CD mode

Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.

Radio reception factors:

• 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.

AM/FM select in navigation mode

Press once when in navigation mode to return to the audio screen (while
the navigation function continues to work in the background). Press
again to enter AM/FM mode where you are able to make frequency band
adjustments.

CD SELECT

To begin CD play (if a CD is already
loaded), press the CD control. The
first track of the disc will begin
playing. After that, CD play will
begin where it stopped last. Press the CD control again to toggle
between CD, CD DJ, DVD/Video (or DVD/Aux Mode), if equipped with
DVD Rear seat entertainment system.

If a navigation CD is in the head unit and you press CD, the system will
automatically search for an audio CD in the CD DJ and begin play if it is
present.

The route guidance navigation system in your audio unit will not function
unless a navigation CD-ROM is inserted.

Ensure that you follow highway code restrictions and do not take
any risks. For example, if you are unable to make a U-turn,

PRINCIPLES OF GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
OPERATION

Your Vehicle Navigation System directs you based on information derived
from satellites, road maps stored on the CD-ROM, 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 in 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

• in between high buildings

• by forests or tree-lined avenues

• in heavy rain showers and thunderstorms

• in valleys and in mountainous regions

The GPS signal strength may vary. The directional heading indicator at
the bottom of the screen might change color to indicate this signal
strength. The colors are as follows:

• Green — A clear GPS signal is being received.

• Yellow — The GPS signal is partially blocked.

• Red — The GPS signal is unavailable and may be temporarily blocked.
