Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Slide open the battery door located on the left side of
the headphones.
2. Remove the batteries from the compartment.
3. Replace the two AAA batteries. Make sure that they
are installed correctly.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the faceplate of the DVD
player. They allow you to hook up an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit. You may
require adapter connectors or cables to connect your
auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for proper usage.
The entertainment system will always start in the
auxiliary mode. To use the auxiliary function, connect a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RCA jacks and
turn on the auxiliary device. If you want to view a DVD,insert the DVD into the DVD player. The system will
automatically switch to DVD and start to play. To return
to the auxiliary device, just press the stop button to stop
the DVD or use the remote control. See ªRemote
Controlº later in this section for more information.
Audio Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time.
Audio from the radio, cassette or CD player will be
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.
When the front audio system is on, to hear the DVD,
auxiliary device or the rear seat audio system you must
use the headphones. With the rear seat audio system on,
the speaker in the overhead console and the rear
speakers are muted.
The speaker in the overhead console is set at a low level
and is not intended to be heard at a high volume.

3-48 DVD Player
The DVD player is located in the front floor console.
The DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on
the DVD player and by the buttons on the remote
control. See ªRemote Controlº later in this section
for more information.The DVD player works while the ignition is in RUN
or ACCESSORY and while RAP is active. See
ªRetained Accessory Power (RAP)º in the Index
for more information.
The entertainment system is only compatible with
DVDs authorized for use in the United States and
Canada. Regular audio CDs can also be played by the
DVD player. Home recorded CDs (CDRs) may not
play in this DVD player. Try the audio system
CD player instead.
DVD Player Buttons
PWR (Power): Press this button to turn the DVD
player on, to change to an auxiliary device or to turn the
system off. (Play/Pause): Press this button to start play.
Press while playing to pause. Press it again to continue
playing.
(Stop/Eject): Press this button to stop playing.
Press the button a second time to eject the disc.

3-49
Playing a Disc
To play a disc, gently insert the disc (with the label
side up) into the loading slot until it stops. The DVD
player will continue loading the disc and the player will
automatically start.
If a disc is already in the player, press the play/pause
button on the face of the player or on the remote control.
Some DVDs will not allow you to fast forward or
skip the copyright or previews. Some DVDs will
begin playing after the previews have finished. If the
DVD does not begin playing refer to the
on
-screen instructions.
Stopping and Resuming Playback
To stop a disc, press the stop/eject button on the DVD
player. To resume playback, press the play/pause button.
As long as you have not ejected the disc, it will resume
playback from the point where it was stopped. If the disc
has been ejected, the player will start playing at the
beginning of the disc.Ejecting a Disc
Press the stop/eject button on the DVD player once to
stop and a second time to eject the disc.
If a disc is ejected from the player, but not removed,
the DVD player will reload the disc after a short period
of time.
Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the display above the
video screen and press the desired button. Direct
sunlight or very bright light may affect the ability of the
entertainment system to receive signals from the remote
control. Be sure the remote's batteries are not
discharged, as this will also affect the function of the
remote control. Objects blocking the line of sight may
also affect the function of the remote control.
NOTICE:
Do not store the remote control in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the remote control
and would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the remote control stored in a cool place.

5-4
NOTICE:
If the other system isn't a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't 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 firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic transaxle
in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in NEUTRAL
before setting the parking brake.
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlet. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that aren't needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (
-) terminal locations on
each vehicle.
You will not need to access your battery for jump
starting. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal for that purpose.

5-5
The terminal is located
under a tethered cap
at the front of the
underhood fuse and
relay center. See
ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index
for more information
on location.
Squeeze the tabs and pull up on the cap to access the
remote positive (+) terminal. You should always use
the remote positive (+) terminal instead of the
positive (+) terminal on your battery.
CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight if
you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You don't
need to add water to the ACDelco
battery
installed in every new GM vehicle. But if a
battery has filler caps, be sure the right amount
of fluid is there. If it is low, add water to take
care of that first. If you don't, explosive gas could
be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you.
Don't get it on you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush the place with
water and get medical help immediately.

8. Now connect the black
negative (
-) cable to the
negative (
-) terminal of
the good battery. Use a
remote negative (
-)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
Don't let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative (
-) cable doesn't
go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy, unpainted
metal part, or to a remote negative (
-) terminal on
the vehicle with the dead battery.
9. Connect the other end
of the negative (
-)
cable at least 18 inches
(45 cm) away from
the dead battery, but
not near engine parts
that move.
The electrical connection is just as good there, and
the chance of sparks getting back to the battery is
much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery.
If it won't start after a few tries, it probably
needs service.
