tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

Saving MP3 files
•Your Family Entertainment System supports discs containing up to
255 files. Discs containing more than 255 files will not play.
•Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes
an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly.
•The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import
the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
•When burning a disc,ensure that you close/finalize the disc
before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error
message may appear.
•Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may cause an error
message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto CD-R discs.
Family Entertainment DVD System protection circuits
High temperature sensor circuit
•Excessively high temperatures may cause damage to the DVD player.
•When the temperature of the DVD player becomes too hot, the high
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation. DVD/CD HOT will
be displayed on the radio display.
•The DVD player will remain disabled until it cools to a normal
operating temperature. The length of time for the system to cool will
vary depending on the climate and operating conditions.
Operating
•Only use the system when the vehicle is started for optimal
performance and to maintain battery life.
•If the Family Entertainment System (FES) is playing and the ignition
is turned OFF, the system will turn off, and suspend playback. When
the ignition is turned on again, playback will begin from the last
selected media source when the play control is pressed.
•To disable the DVD player rear controls, simultaneously press the 3
and 5 memory presets on the radio face. To enable the DVD player
rear controls again, press the 3 and 5 presets simultaneously.
•The DVD player is only capable of reading the bottom side of a disc.
When inserting a single sided disc, the label should be up. For a
multi-sided disc, the desired play side should be down when the disc
is inserted into the player.

Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the radio, Family Entertainment DVD System (if
equipped), power windows, and moonroof (if equipped) operate for up
to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the
OFF position or until one of the front doors are opened.
AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights
(glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from
behind the vehicle, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize
glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.
EXTERIOR MIRRORS
Power side view mirrors

1. Rotate the control clockwise to
adjust the right mirror and rotate
the control counterclockwise to
adjust the left mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
