Bose®Surround Sound System.
Some of its features are explained
later in this section under, “Adjusting

on page 3-109 for more information
on the vehicle’s RSE system.
The DVD player is the top slot on
the radio faceplate. The player

of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.).
Manufactured under license
from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and
the double-D symbol are trademarks
of Dolby Laboratories.
Radio Data System (RDS)
