Determine which radio your vehicle has and then
read the pages following to familiarize yourself
with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a
safer driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on
page 302. By taking a few moments to read this
manual and get familiar with your vehicle’s
audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio stations, setting the
tone and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.

{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far
greater access to audio stations and song
listings. Giving extended attention to
entertainment tasks while driving can
cause a crash and you or others can be
injured or killed. Always keep your eyes
on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended
searching while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. For more information, seeDefensive
Driving on page 302.
Here are some ways in which you can help avoid
distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD
player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way
radio, make sure that it can be added by
checking with your dealer. Also, check federal
rules covering mobile radio and telephone
units. If sound equipment can be added, it is
very important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.

Cleaning the Video Screen
When cleaning the video screen, use only a clean
cloth dampened with clean water. Use care
when directly touching or cleaning the screen, as
damage may result.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen
to any of the sources: radio, cassette tapes, or
CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat
passengers may listen to and control cassette
tapes or CDs through the 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 have priority
over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch the source for the main radio to
a remote source, the RSA will not be able to
control the source. You can operate the rear seat
audio when the main radio is off.If your vehicle has the Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system and the system is on, the rear seat
passengers can listen to the DVDs through the
wired headphone jacks on the RSA system.
The RSE system cannot be controlled with the
RSA system.
If the front seat passengers are listening to the
RSE system through the vehicle’s speakers
and the rear seat passengers are using the wired
headphones to listen to the RSA system, the
BAND button will not access XM™ Satellite Radio
Service.

user input to be activated. The radio is
automatically armed when it is put into the vehicle
for the rst time.
