Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the faceplate of the DVD
player. They allow you to hook up an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit. You
may require adapter connectors or cables to connect
your auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to
the manufacturer's instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary function, connect a camcorder or a
video game unit to the RCA jacks and turn on the
auxiliary device. If you want to view a DVD, insert the
DVD into the DVD player. The system will automatically
switch to DVD and start to play. To switch between
the auxiliary device and the DVD, press the SOURCE
button on the DVD player or on the remote control. See
ªDVD Playerº and ªRemote Controlº later in this
section for more information.
Audio Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time.
Audio from the radio, cassette or CD player will be
heard through all speakers when the front audio system
is being used and the rear seat audio system is off.
Sound from the DVD player or an auxiliary device can
be heard through all speakers when the front audio
system and rear seat audio are off and a DVD or
auxiliary device is playing.
To hear the DVD, auxiliary device, or rear seat audio
system while the front audio system is on, you must use
the headphones. While the rear seat audio system is
on, the rear speakers will be muted.

Some DVDs will not allow you to fast forward or skip
the copyright or previews. Some DVDs will begin playing
the movie automatically after the previews have
®nished (although there may be a delay of up to 30

the video screen and press the desired button.
Direct sunlight or very bright light may affect the ability
of the entertainment system to receive signals from
the remote control. Be sure the remote's batteries are
not discharged, as this will also affect the function of the
remote control. Objects blocking the line of sight may
also affect the function of the remote control.
Notice:Storing the remote control in a hot area or
in direct sunlight may damage it, and the repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Store
the remote control stored in a cool, dry place.

Notice:Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to your vehicle that wouldn't be covered
by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it
won't work, and it could damage your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle's system is not a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both vehicles can
be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake ®rmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in
NEUTRAL before setting the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could
be damaged. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always turn off your radio and
other accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlet. Turn off
the radio and all lamps that aren't needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (-) terminal locations on
each vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for jump
starting. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal for that purpose.
5-45
Page 376 of 486
The terminal is located
under a tethered cap at
the front of the underhood
fuse block. See
Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-12
for more
information on location.
Squeeze the tabs and pull up on the cap to access
the remote positive (+) terminal. You should
always use the remote positive (+) terminal instead
of the positive (+) terminal on your battery.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
{CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing
this, and some have been blinded. Use a
¯ashlight if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You do
not need to add water to the ACDelco
žbattery
installed in your new vehicle. But if a battery
has ®ller caps, be sure the right amount of
¯uid is there. If it is low, add water to take care
of that ®rst. If you do not, explosive gas could
be present.
Battery ¯uid contains acid that can burn you.
Do not get it on you. If you accidentally get it
in your eyes or on your skin, ¯ush the place
with water and get medical help immediately.

Don't let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (-) cable
doesn'tgo to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal part, or to a remote negative (-)
terminal on the vehicle with the dead battery.
9. Connect the other end
of the negative (-)
cable at least 18 inches
(45 cm) away from
the dead battery, but
not near engine
parts that move.
The electrical connection is just as good there, and
the chance of sparks getting back to the battery
is much less.10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If
it won't start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice:If the jumper cables are removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and
damage the vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Remove the jumper
cables in the correct order, making sure that the
cables do not touch each other or other metal.
