3-57 Rear Seat Audio (If Equipped)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources including AM
-FM, cassette tapes
or CDs and to use automatic tone control. 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 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 front seat audio controls
always override the rear seat audio controls.
This feature is intended for rear seat passengers.
The following functions are controlled by the rear seat
audio system buttons:
VOL: Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume
and counterclockwise to decrease volume. The left VOL
knob controls the left headphone and the right VOL
knob controls the right headphone.
PROG: With a cassette tape in the player and the
radio playing, press this button to play a cassette tape.
Press PROG to switch between the tape and compact
disc if both are loaded. Press PROG again to return
to the radio when a cassette tape or compact disc is
playing. The inactive tape or CD will remain safely
inside the radio for future listening.
PWR: Press this button to turn the rear seat audio
system on or off. The rear speakers will be muted
when the power is turned on unless you have a Bose
equipped vehicle. You may operate the rear seat audio
functions even when the primary radio power is off.
