CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be for one of the following reasons:
·It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
·You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
·The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
·The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
·There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
·The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Versatile
Disc (DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system works with the vehicle's audio system and
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
headphones and a remote control. The entertainment
system also integrates the rear climate control and rear
seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions your
entertainment system will shut down until the temperature
is within the operating range. This protection feature will
keep your video components from being damaged while
the temperature is below-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above
140ÉF (60ÉC). To resume operation, shut off the
entertainment system, pull down the video screen and
then heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature is
within the operating range.

heard through all speakers when the front audio system
is being used and the rear seat audio system is off.
Sound from the DVD player or an auxiliary device can
be heard through all speakers when the front audio
system and rear seat audio are off and a DVD or
auxiliary device is playing.
To hear the DVD, auxiliary device, or rear seat audio
system while the front audio system is on, you must use
the headphones. While the rear seat audio system is
on, the rear speakers will be muted.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
(Without Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, cassette
tapes, and CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can
only control the music sources that the front seatpassengers are not listening to. For example, rear seat
passengers may listen to a cassette tape or CD
through 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.
Be aware that the front seat audio controls always
have priority over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch the source for the main radio
to a remote source, the RSA will play the same remote
source. The rear speakers will be muted when the
RSA power is turned on. You may operate the RSA
functions even when the main radio is off.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power):Press this knob twice to turn RSA off.
