System
Vehicles with this feature allow
the rear seat passengers to listen
to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CD, DVD, or other
auxiliary sources. The rear seat
passengers can control the same
music sources the front seat
passengers are listening to (dual
control) or a different source.
For example, rear seat passengers
can listen to and control a CD
through the headphones, while
the driver listens to the radio
through the speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the
volume for each set of headphones.
The radio functionality is controlled
by both the RSA and the front radio,
only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the
RSA or the front radio will change
band on the other system.RSA functions can be operated
even when the main radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired
headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can
also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
The audio system allows the rear
speakers to continue playing even
when the RSA audio is active
through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable
audio device through the RSA,
attach the iPod or portable audio
device to the auxiliary input
(if available), located below the
RSA. Turn the iPod on, then choose
the auxiliary input with the RSA
SRCE button. An iPod
®or portable
audio device can be connected
to the front auxiliary jack or the
USB port.

Maps
This section includes basic
information that you need to
know about the map database.
The maps are stored on a compact
flash drive that is built into the
navigation system.
Detailed Areas
Road network attributes are
contained in the map database for
detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names,
street address, turn restrictions,
etc. A detailed area includes all
major highways, service roads,
and residential roads. The detailed
areas include points of interest
(POI) such as: restaurants, airports,
banks, hospitals, police stations,
gas stations, tourist attractions,
historical monuments, etc. The map
database may not include data for
newly constructed areas or map
database corrections that are
completed after the production
of the compact flash drive.
The navigation system provides
full route guidance in the detailed
map areas.
Limited Guidance Areas
Any area that is not classified as
detailed, is a limited guidance
area. Limited guidance streets are
displayed on the map but route
guidance may not be given on these
streets. Some POI categories, such
as the city center POI category, and
some street addresses are included
in the limited guidance areas.
The navigation system informs
through voice prompts when you
are traveling into a limited guidance
area where route guidance is not
available. The street maps and the
directional arrow displayed on the
navigation system can then be used
to determine the remaining route to
your destination.
Map Adjustments
The system lets you adjust the scale
of view on the map. Also, as you
drive, the map scrolls automatically
based on the direction of travel.
