Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD entertainment system.
The entertainment system works with the vehicle’s audio
system and includes a DVD player, a video display
screen, headphones, and a remote control. The
entertainment system also integrates the rear climate
control and rear seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should not
try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep the video components from
being damaged while the temperature is below
−4°F (−20°C) or above 140°F (60°C). To resume
operation, shut off the entertainment system, pull down
the video screen, and then heat or cool the vehicle
until the temperature is within the operating range.
Headphones
The entertainment system
includes dual channel,
wireless headphones. The
headphones have an
ON/OFF switch, a channel
A/B switch, and a volume
control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch located on the
left side to ON. An indicator light located on the right
side will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more information.
Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
If you move too far forward, step out of the vehicle or
break the line of sight between the headphones and the
display above the video screen, the sound in the
headphones will be degraded or will cut out entirely. If the
system is shut off, or the headphones are out of the line
of sight for more than three minutes, the headphones will
shut off automatically to save battery life.

stop and a second time to eject the disc.
If a disc is ejected from the player, but not removed,
the DVD player will reload the disc after a short
period of time.
Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the display above
the video screen and press the desired button.
Direct sunlight or very bright light may affect the ability
of the entertainment system to receive signals from
the remote control. Be sure the remote’s batteries are
not discharged, as this will also affect the function of the
remote control. Objects blocking the line of sight may
also affect the function of the remote control.

Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static
can occur on AM stations caused by things like
storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to
reduce this noise.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals will
reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out. The radio may
display NO SIGNAL to indicate interference.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they are not, they may not operate
properly or may cause failure of the tape player.
The tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. The radio may display CLEAN to
indicate that the tape player has been used for 50 hours
without resetting the tape clean timer. If this message
appears on the display, the cassette tape player
needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but it should
be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent damage
to the tapes and player. If there is a reduction in sound
quality, try a known good cassette to see if the tape
or the tape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape
head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The
recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealer.The broken tape detection feature of the cassette tape
player may identify the cleaning cassette as a
damaged tape, in error. To prevent the cleaning cassette
from being ejected, use the following steps:
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the TAPE CD button for ve seconds.
READY will appear on the display and a cassette
symbol will ash for ve seconds.
4. Insert the scrubbing action cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer’s
recommended cleaning time.
After the cleaning cassette is ejected, the broken
tape detection feature will be active again.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which uses a
cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head
can be used. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject on its own. A non-scrubbing action cleaner may not
clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The use of a non-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.
