Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources: radio, cassette tapes or CDs
and to use automatic tone control. The rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources that the
front seat passengers are not listening
to. For
example, rear seat passengers may listen to a cassette
tape or
CD through headphones while the driver
listens
to the radio through the front speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the volume for each
set of headphones. The front seat audio controls always
override the rear seat audio controls.
PWR (Power): Press this button to turn the rear seat
audio system on or
off. The rear speakers will be muted
when the power is turned on unless you have a Bose@
equipped vehicle. You may operate the rear seat audio
functions even when the primary radio power is
off.
VOL (Volume): Turn the knob to increase or to
decrease volume. The left VOL knob controls the left
headphone and the right
VOL knob controls the
right headphone.

station and stay there. The display will show your
selection.
To scan preset stations, press and hold the SEEK
button. The radio will scan to a preset station, play for a
few seconds, then go on
to the next preset station.
The display will show your selections. The SEEK button
is inactive
if the front radio is in use.
While listening to a cassette tape, press the SEEK
button
to hear the next selection on the tape. Press and
hold the SEEK button to go
to the other side of the
tape. The SEEK button is inactive
if the tape mode on
the front radio is in use.
While listening
to a CD, press the SEEK button to hear
the next track on the CD. The SEEK button is inactive
if the CD mode on the front radio or the CD changer
is in use.
Radio Personalization
If your vehicle has this feature, it allows the driver to
return
to the last used audio source (radio, cassette or
CD) using the remote keyless entry transmitter. This
feature can also store and recall
AM and FM presets,
volume, tone and the
last selected radio station.
The number on the back of each transmitter
(1 or 2)
corresponds to driver 1 or 2. If transmitter 1 is used to
enter the vehicle, the last used audio source and/or
settings set by driver
1 will be recalled. If transmitter 2 is
used
to enter the vehicle, the last used audio source
and/or settings set by driver
2 will be recalled.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK@ is designed to discourage theft of yout
radio. The feature works automatically by learning a
portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If the
radio is moved to
a different vehicle, it will not operate
and LOCKED will be displayed.
When the radio and vehicle are turned
off, your radio
may have a blinking red light that indicates that
THEFTLOCK is armed.
With THEFTLOCK activated, your radio will not operate
if stolen.

QVQ Distortion
You may experience audio distortion in the

scanners,
CB radios, Global Positioning Systems
(GPS)*, two-way radios, mobile fax, or walkie talkies.
It may be necessary to turn
off the DVD player
when operating one of these devices in or near the
vehicle.
* Excludes the Onstar@ System.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations
to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM
FM stereo will give you 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 come and go.

Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco@ battery. When it’s time for a new battery, get
one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco@
battery. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page
5-72 for battery location.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or
more, remove the black, negative
(-) cable from the
battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
Batteries ~ -.-ve acid tha- -an burn , -u and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” next for
tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.

Theft-Deterrent
Feature on page
