trol system. You must fully apply your reg-
ular brakes first and then press the shift
lever button, before you can shift from
PARK (P) when the ignition is in RUN. If
you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease
pressure on the shift lever and push the

the transaxle, refer to “If Your Vehicle is
Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow” in “Your
Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle” in the
“Driving Your Vehicle” section.
NEUTRAL (N):
In this position, the engine does not con-
nect with the wheels. To restart when the
vehicle is already moving, use NEUTRAL
(N) only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when the
vehicle is being towed.DRIVE (D):
This position is for normal driving. It pro-
vides the best fuel economy for your vehi-
cle. If the vehicle needs more power for
passing, and it is:
 Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push
the accelerator pedal about halfway
down.
 Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more,
push the accelerator pedal all the way

next gear and have more power.
WARNING
It is dangerous to get out of your
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake
firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Do not leave your vehicle when the
engine is running unless you have to.
If you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be injured. To be sure
your vehicle will not move, even
when you are on fairly level ground,
always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
Refer to “Shifting Into Park (P)” in
this section. If you are pulling a
trailer, refer to “Towing a Trailer” in
“Towing” in the “Driving Your Vehi-
cle” section.
CAUTION
Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your
vehicle is moving forward could dam-
age the transaxle. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty.
Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your
vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
Shifting into a drive gear while your
engine is running at high speed is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly
on the brake pedal, your vehicle
could move very rapidly. You could
lose control and hit people or
objects. Do not shift into a drive gear
while your engine is running at high
speed.
CAUTION
Shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N) while the engine is running at
high speed may damage the tran-
saxle. The repairs would not be cov-
ered by your warranty. Be sure the
engine is not running at high speeds
when shifting your vehicle.

Setting Cruise Control
WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
WARNING
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at a
steady speed. So, do not use your
cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise con-
trol on slippery roads.
WARNING
If you leave your cruise control on
when you are not using cruise, you
might hit a button and go into cruise
when you do not want to. You could
be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off
until you want to use cruise control.

Inserting a Disc
To play a disc, gently insert the disc, with
the label side up, into the loading slot. The
DVD player might not accept some paper
labeled media. The player starts loading
the disc into the system and show “Load-
ing Disc” on the radio display. At the same
time, the radio displays a softkey menu of
option(s). Some discs automatically play
the movie while others default to the soft-
key menu display, which requires the Play,
Enter, or Navigation softkeys to be
pressed; either by softkey or by the rear
seat passenger using the remote control.
Loading a disc into the system, depending
on media type and format, ranges from
5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30
seconds for a DVD.
Stopping and Resuming Playback
To stop playing a DVD without turning off
the system, press the stop button on the
remote control, or press the pushbutton
located under the stop or the play/pause
symbol tags displayed on the radio. If the
radio head is sourced to something other
than DVD-V, press the DVD/CD AUX but-
ton to make DVD-V the active source. To
resume DVD playback, press the play/
pause button on the remote control, or
press the pushbutton located under theplay/pause symbol tag displayed on the
radio. The DVD should resume play from
where it last stopped if the disc has not
been ejected and the stop button has not
been pressed twice on the remote control.
If the disc has been ejected or the stop but-
ton has been pressed twice on the remote
control, the disc resumes playing at the
beginning of the disc.
Ejecting a Disc
Press the eject button on the radio to eject
the disc. If a disc is ejected from the radio,
but not removed, the radio reloads the disc
after a short period of time. The disc is
stored in the radio. The radio does not
resume play of the disc automatically. In
case loading and reading of a DVD or CD
cannot be completed (unknown format,
etc.), and the disc fails to eject, press and
hold the DVD Eject button more than five
seconds to force the disc to eject.

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)
The radio system has an auxiliary input
jack located on the lower right side of the
faceplate. This is not an audio output; do
not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. However, an external
audio device such as an iPod, laptop com-
puter, MP3 player, CD player, or cassette
tape player, etc. can be connected to the
auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxil-
iary device while the vehicle is in PARK
(P). Refer to “Defensive Driving” in “Your
Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle” in the
“Driving Your Vehicle” section for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a
1/8 inch (3.5 mm) cable to the radio’s front
auxiliary input jack. While a device is con-
nected, the radio automatically begins
playing audio from the device over the
vehicle speakers.
