Care of the CD Player
Do not add labels to a CD, it could get caught in the CD
player. Use a marking pen to write on the top of the
CD if a description is needed.
Do not use CD lens cleaners, they could damage the
CD player.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD
player and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages” earlier in this
section.

not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set
into the front auxiliary input jack. An external audio
device such as an iPod
®, laptop computer, MP3 player,
CD changer, etc. can be connected to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another audio source.Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). SeeDefensive Driving on
page 4-2for more information on driver distraction.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Your vehicle may have rear seat audio (RSA). This
feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, or other
auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat passengers can
only control the music sources the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
can control and listen to a CD 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 can be operated even when the
main radio is off. The front audio system will display the
headphone icon when the RSA is on, and will disappear
from the display when it is off.
The audio system mutes the rear speakers when the
RSA audio is active through the headphones.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also be
heard on Channel 2 of the wireless 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.
The area above the top row of buttons on the RSA
faceplate is not a display. Infrared transmitters are
located in this area for the wireless headphones.

Rear Seat Audio Controls
The following function is controlled by the main radio:
Front seat passengers can turn the RSA off by
quickly pressing the front radio power knob twice.
Headphones
The RSA includes two wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. These headphones are used
to listen to media such as CDs or radio. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button and a volume control.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones. An
indicator light located on the headphones comes on. If
the light does not come on, the batteries might need to be
replaced. See “Battery Replacement” later in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones to Off when
not in use.
Infrared transmitters are located on the rear seat audio
faceplate above the top row of buttons. This area is
not a display. The headphones shut off automatically
to save the battery power if the RSA shuts off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters for more
than three minutes. If you move too far forward or step
out of the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.The headphones automatically turn off after four hours
of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the headphones must
be worn correctly. Headphones should be worn with
the headband over the top of the head for best audio
reception. The symbol L (Left) appears on the upper left
side, above the ear pad and should be positioned on the
left ear. The symbol R (Right) appears on the upper right
side, above the ear pad and should be positioned on the
right ear.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set. Contact your
dealer/retailer for more information.

Jump Starting
If the battery has run down, you may want to use
another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your
vehicle. Be sure to use the following steps to do it safely.
{CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
They contain acid that can burn you.
They contain gas that can explode or ignite.
They contain enough electricity to burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some or
all of these things can hurt you.
Notice:Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to the vehicle that would not be covered
by the warranty.
Trying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage the vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.Notice:If the other vehicle’s system is not a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both vehicles can
be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would not be able
to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake rmly on both vehicles involved
in the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in P (Park) or a manual transmission
in N (Neutral) before setting the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave the radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could
be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by
the warranty. Always turn off the radio and other
accessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or the accessory power outlet. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save the radio!

Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Your Saturn vehicle has a number of sophisticated
computers that record information about the vehicle’s
performance and how it is driven. For example, your
vehicle uses computer modules to monitor and control
engine and transmission performance, to monitor the
conditions for airbag deployment and deploy airbags in
a crash and, if so equipped, to provide antilock braking
to help the driver control the vehicle. These modules
may store data to help your dealer/retailer technician
service your vehicle. Some modules may also store data
about how you operate the vehicle, such as rate of fuel
consumption or average speed. These modules may also
retain the owner’s personal preferences, such as radio
pre-sets, seat positions, and temperature settings.
