Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls and
driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD. If you never look at your instrument
panel cluster, you may not see something important,
such as a warning light. Under important warning
conditions, the CHECK GAGES icon will illuminate in
the HUD. Glance at your instrument panel cluster for
more information.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near the
front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid.
The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If
you try to use it as such, you may misjudge the
distance and damage your vehicle.
The HUD controls are
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
When the HUD is on, the speedometer reading will
always be displayed. The current radio station, cassette
tape or CD number and track number will only be
displayed for three seconds after the radio, tape or CD
track status changes. This will happen whenever one of
the radio controls is pressed, either on the radio or on
the audio steering wheel controls (if equipped).

Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD: If this message appears on the
radio display, it could be due to one of the
following conditions:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road is smoother.
The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't 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.Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (If Equipped)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: AM
-FM, cassette tapes
and CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the music sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
may listen to a cassette tape or CD through the two sets
of headphones, (provided in the glove box), 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.
