Cargo Lamp
If your vehicle is the MAXX model, it has a cargo lamp.
The cargo lamp comes on when the liftgate is opened.
If you want to leave the liftgate open you can turn off the
cargo lamp by pushing on the lens.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection feature
designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, or visor vanity)
is left on while the ignition is turned off, the battery
run-down protection system will automatically shut the
lamp(s) off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining
the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
Turn on the ignition.
Turn the exterior lamp control off and then on.
Open a door.
Press any remote keyless entry transmitter button
(if equipped).
Press the remote trunk release button.
Press the power door lock switch.The battery run-down feature will also be activated
when any door on the vehicle is left open and the
ignition is in OFF.
Accessory Power Outlets
With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone.
For vehicles with anti-lock brake system (ABS), the
accessory power outlets are located on the front of the
center console storage area and also inside the
console storage compartment. Vehicles without ABS,
both outlets are located on the front of the center
console storage area. The compartment has notches
that allow power cords to be routed outside of the
console while the lid is closed. There is also an outlet in
the rear cargo area of the MAXX.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the DVD faceplate on the
oor console. The RCA jacks allow you to connect audio
and video signals from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to your RSE just as you
would to a standard television. The yellow RCA jack is
used for video, the red RCA jack for right audio, and the
white RCA jack for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables (not included) to connect your
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the
entertainment system, connect an external auxiliary
device such as a camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn
on both the auxiliary device power and the power on
the front of the RSE system. Press the play and source
buttons at the same time or the AUX button on the
remote control to switch to the auxiliary device.

(Without Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio and CDs.
However, 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 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. Be aware that 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 play the
same remote source. The rear speakers will be muted
when the RSA power is turned on. You may operate the
RSA functions even when the main radio is off.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
