Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
System
For vehicles with Rear Seat

the music sources: radio, CDs,
DVDs, or other auxiliary sources.
The rear seat passengers can only
control the music sources the front
seat passengers are not listening to
(except on some radios where dual
control is allowed). For example,
rear seat passengers can control
a CD and listen to it through the
headphones, while the driver
listens to the radio through the
front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the
volume for each set of headphones.The RSA functions operate even
when the main radio is off. The front
audio system displaysXwhen the
RSA is on, and disappears from the
display when it is off.
Audio can be heard through wired
headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can
also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
The audio system mutes the rear
speakers when the RSA audio is
active through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable
audio device through the RSA,
attach the iPod or portable audio
device to the front auxiliary input
(if available), located on the front
audio system. Turn the iPod on,
then choose the front auxiliary input
with the RSA SRCE button.

5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has escaped.
7. Once the vehicle's interior temperature is below the outside
temperature, select
@mode
for faster cooling.
Using recirculation for long periods
of time could cause the air inside
of the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after
the inside of the vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air,
so water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning
off the engine. This is normal.
@(Recirculation): Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on when
recirculation is on. When the engine
is turned off, the recirculation mode
automatically turns off and must
be re‐selected when the engine
is turned on again.
This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning also comes on when
this mode is activated unless the
outside air temperature is less than
4°C (40°F). While in recirculation
mode the windows can fog when
the weather is cold and damp.
To clear the fog, select either the
defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed. REAR (Rear Climate Control):

With the driver's door open,
you will find the label attached
below the door lock post
(striker). The tire and loading
information label shows thenumber of occupant seating
positions (A), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (B) in
kilograms and pounds.
The Tire and Loading
Information label also shows the
size of the original equipment
tires (C) and the recommended
cold tire inflation pressures (D).
For more information on tires
and inflation see
Tires on
page 10‑38 andTire Pressure
on page 10‑45.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle
Certification/Tire label. It tells
you the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
for the front and rear axle.
See “Certification/Tire Label”
later in this section.
Steps for Determining Correct
