Radios with CD and DVD fade
differently depending on the DVD
Media type:
With DVD-A 5.1 Surround media,
the left front and right front
speakers fade rearward, leaving
the center front speakers
unaffected until the last fade step,
then all front speakers mute.
With DVD-V 5.1 Surround media,
surround sound is maintained
until Step 4 of the Fade control is
reached while fading rearward. At
that point the audio system output
changes to Stereo to prevent the
loss of Center channel output
when the full rearward fade
position is reached.
If the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) is
turned on, the radio disables FADE
and mutes the rear speakers.

Playing a CD (Single CD
Player)
Insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player pulls
it in and the CD should begin
playing.
Playing a CD (In Either the
DVD or CD Slot)
Insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player pulls
it in and the CD should begin
playing (loading a disc into the
system, depending on media
type and format ranges from
5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to
30 seconds for a DVD to begin
playing).
If the ignition or radio is turned off,
while a CD is in the player, it
stays in the player. When the
ignition or radio is turned on, the CDstarts playing where it stopped, if it
was the last selected audio
source. The CD is controlled by the
buttons on the radio faceplate or
by the RSA unit. SeeRear
Seat Audio (RSA) on page 3-111for
more information. The DVD/CD
decks, (upper slot is the DVD deck
and the lower slot is the CD
deck) of the radio are compatible
with most audio CDs, CD-R,
CD-RW, and MP3/WMAs.
When a CD is inserted, the text
label DVD or CD symbol displays on
the left side of the radio display.
As each new track starts to play, the
track number displays.
Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality
can be reduced due to CD-R or
CD-RW quality, the method
of recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been
handled. Handle them carefully.
Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s) in their
original cases or other protectivecases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. The CD or DVD player
scans the bottom surface of the disc.
If the surface of a CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD does not play
properly or not at all. Do not touch
the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the
surface. Pick up CDs by grasping
the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take
a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a CD,
it could get caught in the CD or DVD
player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description
label is needed, try labeling the
top of the recorded CD with
a marking pen.

Instrument Panel 3-107

Police records show that
almost 40 percent of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve
alcohol. In most cases, these deaths
are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years,
more than 17,000 annual motor
vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol,
with about 250,000 people injured.
For persons under 21, it is against
the law in every U.S. state to drink
alcohol. There are good medical,
psychological, and developmental
reasons for these laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the
leading highway safety problem
is for people never to drink alcohol
and then drive.
Medical research shows that alcohol
in a person’s system can make crash
injuries worse, especially injuries to
the brain, spinal cord, or heart.This means that when anyone who
has been drinking — driver or
passenger — is in a crash, that
person’s chance of being killed or
permanently disabled is higher than
if the person had not been drinking.
Control of a Vehicle
The following three systems
help to control the vehicle while
driving — brakes, steering,
and accelerator. At times, as when
driving on snow or ice, it is easy
to ask more of those control systems
than the tires and road can
provide. Meaning, you can lose
control of the vehicle. See
StabiliTrak
®System on page 4-5.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer
accessories can affect vehicle
performance. SeeAccessories and
Modifications on page 5-3.
Braking
SeeBrake System Warning Light on
page 3-33.
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding
to push the brake pedal is
perception time. Actually doing
it is reaction time.
Average reaction time is about
three-fourths of a second. But that
is only an average. It might be
less with one driver and as long as
two or three seconds or more
with another. Age, physical
condition, alertness, coordination,
and eyesight all play a part. So
do alcohol, drugs, and frustration.
But even in three-fourths of a
second, a vehicle moving at 60 mph
(100 km/h) travels 66 feet (20 m).
That could be a lot of distance in an
emergency, so keeping enough
space between the vehicle
and others is important.
Driving Your Vehicle 4-3

And, of course, actual stopping
distances vary greatly with the
surface of the road, whether it is
pavement or gravel; the condition of
the road, whether it is wet, dry, or
icy; tire tread; the condition of
the brakes; the weight of the vehicle;
and the amount of brake force
applied.
Avoid needless heavy braking.
Some people drive in
spurts — heavy acceleration
followed by heavy braking — rather
than keeping pace with traffic.
This is a mistake. The brakes might
not have time to cool between
hard stops. The brakes will wear out
much faster with a lot of heavy
braking. Keeping pace with
the traffic and allowing realistic
following distances eliminates a lot
of unnecessary braking. That
means better braking and longer
brake life.
If the engine ever stops while the
vehicle is being driven, brake
normally but do not pump the
brakes. If the brakes are pumped,the pedal could get harder to push
down. If the engine stops, there
will still be some power brake assist
but it will be used when the brake
is applied. Once the power assist is
used up, it can take longer to
stop and the brake pedal will be
harder to push.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer
accessories can affect vehicle’
performance. SeeAccessories and
Modifications on page 5-3.
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
This vehicle has the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), an advanced
electronic braking system that will
help prevent a braking skid.
When the engine is started and the
vehicle begins to drive away,
ABS checks itself. A momentary
motor or clicking noise might
be heard while this test is going on,
and it might even be noticed that
the brake pedal moves a little. This
is normal.If there is a problem with ABS, this
warning light stays on. See
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light on page 3-34.
Let us say the road is wet and you
are driving safely. Suddenly, an
animal jumps out in front of you. You
slam on the brakes and continue
braking. Here is what happens
with ABS:
A computer senses that the wheels
are slowing down. If one of the
wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work
the brakes at each wheel.
ABS can change the brake pressure
to each wheel, as required, faster
than any driver could. This can help
the driver steer around the
obstacle while braking hard.

If the system fails to turn on or
activate, the StabiliTrak light along
with one of the following messages
will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF,
SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,
SERVICE STABILITRAK. If
these conditions are observed, turn
the vehicle off, wait 15 seconds,
and then turn it back on again
to reset the system. If any of these
messages still appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC), the
vehicle should be taken in for
service. For more information on the
DIC messages, seeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 3-41.The StabiliTrak light will ash on the
instrument panel cluster when the
system is both on and activated.
The system may be heard or
felt while it is working; this is normal.
The traction control disable button is
located on the instrument panel
below the climate controls.
The traction control part of
StabiliTrak can be turned off by
pressing and releasing the traction
control disable button.Traction control can be turned on
by pressing and releasing the
traction control disable button if not
automatically shut off for any
other reason.
When the traction control system is
turned off, the StabiliTrak light
and the appropriate traction control
off message will be displayed on
the DIC to warn the driver. The
vehicle will still have brake-traction
control when traction control is
off, but will not be able to use the
engine speed management system.
See “Traction Control Operation”
next for more information.
When the traction control system
has been turned off, system noises
may be heard and felt as a result
of the brake-traction control working.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, and
you want to “rock” the vehicle to
attempt to free it. It may also be
