Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with a rear seat audio (RSA) system allows
rear seat passengers to listen to and control any of
the following audio sources: AM/FM tuner, front
CD player, and XM™ Satellite Radio Service
(if equipped). However, the rear seat passengers can
only control the sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
can listen to a CD in the front radio and control it
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 is not able to control the remote source.
You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
The DVD or auxiliary device are always be available on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. All
other RSA sources are available on channel (CHB or
CH2) of the wireless headphones, as well as the wired
headphones. If the RSA is off, the wired headphones
provide DVD or auxiliary device audio. The rear seat
passengers are not able to listen to XM™, on channel
(CHB or CH2), if the front passenger is listening to a
DVD or auxiliary device.
The remote control does not operate any of the RSA
features.RSA SRC (Rear Seat Audio Source):Press this
button to turn on the RSA system. Press this button
to switch between playing the AM, FM1, FM2, XM1™

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static during normal radio
reception can occur if items such as cellphone chargers,
vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the
accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals reach
only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or
hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound
to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the
XM™ signal for a period of time. The radio may display
NO SIGNAL to indicate interference.
