AUX CHEVROLET MALIBU 2005 5.G Owners Manual

Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone.
For vehicles with Traction Control system, the accessory
power outlets are located on the front of the center
console storage area and also inside the console
storage compartment. The compartment has notches
that allow power cords to be routed outside of the
console while the lid is closed. On vehicles without
Traction Control, both outlets are located on the front
of the center console storage area. 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.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience
a problem see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not use equipment
exceeding maximum amperage rating. Check
with your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation instructions included with
the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory
bracket from the plug because the power outlets
are designed for accessory power plugs only.

Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If your vehicle is the MAXX, your vehicle may have
a rear seat storage compartment. Store the headphones
and the remote control in this compartment when not
in use.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or DVD
play, there may be a low hissing noise through the
speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in the
wireless headphones seems excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. Some
amount of hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphone earpiece.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and tighten
the screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the DVD faceplate on the
oor console. The RCA jacks allow audio and video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
The yellow RCA jack is used for video inputs, the
red RCA jack for right audio inputs, and the white RCA
jack for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables, not included, to connect the
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs, 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. See “DVD Player” and “Remote
Control” later in this section for more information.
