SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Warning symbols in this guide

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself or others? 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 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of

new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the

moving parts a chance to break in.

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

trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to

Trailer towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter.

Introduction

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils since

these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the

Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information on oil

usage.

SPECIAL NOTICES

New Vehicle Limited Warranty

For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered by

your vehicle’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty, refer to the Warranty

Guide that is provided to you along with your Owner’s Guide.

Special instructions

For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic

controls.

Please read the section Airbag supplemental restraint system

(SRS) in the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter. Failure to

follow the specific warnings and instructions could result in personal

Introduction

Event Data Recording

Other modules in your vehicle — event data recorders — are capable of

collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The

recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event.

The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the

occupants, potentially including information such as:

• how various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;

• how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the

brake pedal;

• how fast the vehicle was traveling; and

• where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.

To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected

to the recording modules. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do

not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent,

unless pursuant to court order or where required by law enforcement,

other government authorities or other third parties acting with lawful

authority. Other parties may seek to access the information

independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada.

Introduction

Notice to owners of pickup trucks and utility type vehicles

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles.

Before you drive your vehicle, please read this Owner’s Guide carefully.

Your vehicle is not a passenger car. As with other vehicles of this type,

failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover, personal injury or death.

Cell phone use

The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly

important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,

drivers must not compromise their own or others’ safety when using

such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety

and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency

situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications

equipment to avoid negating these benefits.

Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular

phones, pagers, portable email devices, in-vehicle communications

systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.

Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control,

accident and injury. Ford strongly recommends that drivers use

extreme caution when using any device that may take their focus off

the road. The drivers primary responsibility is the safe operation of

their vehicle. Only use cell phones and other devices not essential to

the driving task when it is safe to do so.

Introduction

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, refer to the

respective system warning light for additional information.

Note: Some Warning Lights are reconfigurable telltale (RTT) indicator

lights and will illuminate in the Message Center Display and function the

same as the warning light.

Service engine soon: The

indicator light illuminates when the

ignition is first turned to the ON

position to check the bulb and to

indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)

testing. Normally, the ⬙Service engine soon⬙ light will stay on until the

engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present.

However, if after 15 seconds the ⬙Service engine soon⬙ light blinks eight

times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing in the

Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board

Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On

board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could

2008 Navigator (nav)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA (fus)

Instrument Cluster

damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid

heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced

immediately by your authorized dealer.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Powertrain malfunction/reduced

power (RTT) (if equipped):

Displays when the engine has

defaulted to a ’limp-home’ operation.

Report the fault to a dealer at the

earliest opportunity.

Brake system warning light: To

confirm the brake system warning

light is functional, it will

momentarily illuminate when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START,

or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON

position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this

time, seek service immediately from your authorized dealer. Illumination

after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the

brake system should be inspected immediately by your authorized dealer.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is

dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may

occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle

checked by your authorized dealer. Driving extended distances with

the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and the risk of

personal injury.

Anti-lock brake system: If the

ABS light stays illuminated or

continues to flash, a malfunction has

been detected, have the system

serviced immediately by your

authorized dealer. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake

warning light also is illuminated.

Auxiliary input jack (Line in)

Your vehicle is equipped with an

Auxiliary Input Jack (AIJ). The

Auxiliary Input Jack provides a way

to connect your portable music

player to the in-vehicle audio

system. This allows the audio from a

portable music player to be played

through the vehicle speakers with

high fidelity. To achieve optimal

performance, please observe the

following instructions when

attaching your portable music

device to the audio system.

Required equipment:

1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones

2. An audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm)

connectors at each end

To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack:

1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off.

2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully

charged and that the device is turned off.

3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output

of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the AIJ

in your vehicle.

4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into

the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.

5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the

volume.

2008 Navigator (nav)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

6. Press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until LINE IN appears in

the display.

You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may

be low.

7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the

level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the

AUX and FM or CD controls.

Troubleshooting:

1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level

outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not

compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices

that have a headphone output with a volume control.

2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is

necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio

system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many

portable music players have different output levels, so not all players

should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full

volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume.

3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the

portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or

recharge the batteries in the portable music player.

4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same way manner

when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control

(play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player.

5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your

portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is

moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure

location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is

in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the

portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.

Rear seat radio controls (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with rear seat radio controls. This feature allows

front and middle seat passengers to listen to different media sources

(radio, CD or DVD) simultaneously. (However, the front and middle-seat

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies:

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications

Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors:

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:

• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency

is displayed.

CD/CD player care

Do:

• Handle discs by their edges only.

(Never touch the playing

surface).

• Inspect discs before playing.

• Clean only with an approved CD

cleaner.

2008 Navigator (nav)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

• Wipe discs from the center out.

Don’t:

• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods

of time.

• Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in

(12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due to technical

incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact

discs may not function correctly when used in Ford CD players.

Do not use any irregular shaped

CDs or discs with a scratch

protection film attached.

CDs with homemade paper

(adhesive) labels should not be

inserted into the CD player as

the label may peel and cause the

CD to become jammed. It is

recommended that homemade

CDs be identified with

permanent felt tip marker rather

than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please

contact your authorized dealer for further information.

Audio system warranty and service

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If

service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

Satellite radio information

Satellite radio channels: SIRIUS broadcasts a variety of music, news,

sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For

more information and a complete list of SIRIUS satellite radio channels,

visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.sirius-canada.ca in

Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.

Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your

vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the

roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an

unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio

system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite

radio reception performance:

• Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the

antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other

material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can

interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an

audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is

a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO

SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

SIRIUS satellite radio service: SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription

based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and

entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order to receive

SIRIUS service. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory installed

SIRIUS Satellite Radio system include:

• Hardware and limited subscription term, which begins on the date of

sale or lease of the vehicle.

• Online media player providing access to all 65 SIRIUS music channels

over the internet (U.S. customers only).

For information on extended subscription terms, contact SIRIUS at

1–888–539–7474.

Note: SIRIUS reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add

or delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular

channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford

Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming

changes.

MP3 disc quality factors

Several factors can effect disc playback quality:

• Disc capacity — Each disc contains about 650 MB of storage capacity.

We do not recommend using high capacity discs containing 700MB of

storage.

• Disc type — Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may

cause an error message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files

onto CD-R discs.

2008 Navigator (nav)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

• Disc finalization — The disc may be left open for the purpose of

adding sessions to it at a later time, but be sure to close each session

or the disc will not play.

• Bit rate — The player supports bit rates from 32–320 kbps, as well as

variable bit rate MP3 files, but lower bit rates will have a noticeable

effect on sound quality and are recommended only for speech or low

fidelity music material. We recommend that you encode MP3 files

using a high quality encoder.

• PC configuration — Encoding MP3 files requires intensive use of your

computer’s resources. Follow the PC configuration recommendations

of the encoder software vendor. We recommend that you avoid

running other software applications on your PC during MP3 encoding

to avoid undesirable noise and distortion.

CD, MP3 and CD player care

• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended

periods of time.

• Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of the CD player (if

equipped).

• Always store discs out of direct sunlight. Excessive heat may damage

or warp discs.

• Use care when handling and playing CD-R and CD-RW discs, which

are more susceptible to damage from heat, light and stress than are

regular CDs.

• Always insert and remove a disc by holding the disc flat, with the

playing surface facing down, in order to prevent damage to the disc or

the player.

• Never insert any object other than a compact disc (CD) or digital

versatile disc (DVD) into the player, as doing so may damage the

player and may cause injury to you.

• Do not disassemble the player. The laser used in disc playback is

extremely harmful to the eyes.

The FES DVD system is designed to play commercially pressed

12 cm (4.75 in) audio compact discs and digital versatile discs

(DVD) only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable

and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when

used in Ford CD and DVD players. Irregular shaped CDs or DVDs,

CDs or DVDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs

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.

2008 Navigator (nav)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

• 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.

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. Turn the DVD player ON

to dry the moisture before inserting a DVD. This could take an hour or

more.

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.

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 DVD and CD discs

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.
