The vehicle may have one of these
radios as its audio system.
Radios with CD and DVD
Radios with CD and DVD have a
Bose®Surround Sound System.
Some of its features are explained
later in this section under, “Adjusting
the Speakers (Balance/Fade)”. If the vehicle has a Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system, it
has a CD/DVD radio. See
Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
on page 3-114 for more information
on the vehicle’s RSE system. The DVD player is the top slot
on the radio faceplate. The player
is capable of reading the DTS
programmed DVD Audio or DVD
Video media. DTS and DTS Digital
Surround are registered trademarks
of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Manufactured under license from
Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and
the double-D symbol are trademarks
of Dolby Laboratories.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS)
feature is available for use only on
FM stations that broadcast RDS
information. This system relies upon
receiving specic information from
these stations and only works when
the information is available. While the
radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station,
the station name or call letters
display. In rare cases, a radio station
could broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to
work improperly. If this happens,
