REAR SEAT RADIO CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front row console, then it is also
equipped with rear seat radio
controls. This feature allows front
and middle seat passengers to listen
to different media sources (radio,
cassette, CD or DVD)
simultaneously. (However, the front
and middle-seat passengers cannot
listen to two different radio stations
at the same time.)
When the rear seat controls are activated, rear seat passengers can use
the controls to change the playing media for all passengers (Single Play
mode). In this mode, all speakers will play audio from the same media
source for all passengers to hear. To activate the rear seat radio controls:
•Press the memory preset controls
3 and 5 at the same time. A
headphone icon
will illuminate
in the radio display, indicating the rear seat radio controls are active.
•Press memory preset controls 3 and 5 a second time to deactivate the
rear seat controls. The headphone icon
will turn off in the radio
display.
If there is a discrepancy between the rear seat controls and the front
audio controls (such as both trying to listen to the same playing media),
the front audio system will receive the desired selection.
To activate Dual Play mode (rear
seat passengers listen to a different
playing media than the front seat
passengers):
•Press the speaker/headphone
control.
•Press the MODE control to
change audio sources (for
headphone mode only)
•Use the SEEK, VOLUME and
MEMORY controls to make adjustments to the playing media.

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
