The following actions occur automatically when a disc
is inserted into the radio on a single screen system and
into the remote DVD player on a two screen system:
If the video screen is in the open position (the LCD
screen is visible), then the screen turns on and the
wireless headphone transmitter turns on. If the video
screen is closed, the wireless headphone transmitter
must be turned on by using the power button on the
remote control (headphones only receive audio sig-
nals if the headphones are powered on).
After the disc is inserted, the disc begins playing to cabin speakers, wireless headphones, and rear video
screens.
Shared Modes
The VES™ and radio are capable of communicating
with each other. This allows the VES™ to output radio
audio to the headphones and the radio to output
VES™ audio to the vehicle speakers. When the radio
and VES™ are in the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon
will be visible on the radio’s display and the shared icon
will be visible on the VES™ screen. When in shared
mode, the same audio source is heard in the head-
phones and vehicle speakers simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the
shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to(fig. 110) Popup Banner

control the radio functions. In this case, VES™ can
share the radio mode, but not change stations until the
radio mode is changed to a mode that is different from
the VES™ selected radio mode. When shared, the
radio has priority over the VES™ or all radio modes
(FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the ability to switch
tuner (AM/FM/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE, and recall pre-
sets in radio modes as long as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of the video func-
tions. The VES™ has the ability to control the follow-
ing video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and TrackUp/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward,
Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or video
modes while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can
access the radio modes or disc modes by navigating to
those modes on the VES™ and activating a radio mode
or disc mode. Information Mode Display

music players, video cameras, VCR’s, game systems,
and other devices with audio and/or video outputs.
The Aux jacks are typically located on the back of the
center console or on one of the vehicles side panels in
the rear occupant area.(fig. 115) When connecting an external source to the AUX
input, be sure to follow the standard color coding for
the VES™ jacks:

Then navigate to VES AUX1 or VES AUX2 mode in
the Select Mode screen.

your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may be lessened or
eliminated by relocating the mobile phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that
the radio volume be turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.ADDING FUEL

WARNING!
N
o objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel, because any such objects could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the air bag to inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air bag
covers or attempt to open them manually. You
may damage the air bags and you could be
injured because the air bags may no longer be
functional. The protective covers for the air bag
cushions are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc . Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB)
SAB may provide enhanced protection to help protect
an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked
with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the
front seats. (fig. 135)
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between
the front and side of the seat's trim cover. Each air bag
deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the
left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the
right air bag only.
