display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
·You're driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
·The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
·The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
·There may have been a problem while burning

Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Video
Disc (DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system works with the vehicle's audio system and
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
headphones and a remote control. The entertainment
system also integrates the rear climate control and rear
seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions your
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep your video components from
being damaged while the temperature is below
-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above 140ÉF (60ÉC). To resume
operation, shut off the entertainment system, pull down
the video screen and then heat or cool the vehicle

functions even when the main radio is off.
