Playing a Cassette Tape
With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. The tape will
begin playing as soon as it is inserted. When one side of
your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays
the other side of your cassette tape. A cassette tape
may be loaded with the radio off but it will not start
playing until the radio is on. If you want to insert a
cassette tape when the ignition is off, ®rst press the eject
button.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE, LEVEL
and DSP controls just as you do for the radio. Other
controls may have different functions when a tape
is inserted. The display will show an underlined tape
symbol. TAPE PLAY will appear on the display when a
tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which side
of the tape is playing.
If an error appears on the display, see ªCassette Tape
Messagesº later in this section.
1 PREV (Previous):Your tape must have at least three
seconds of silence between each selection for previous
to work. Press this pushbutton to seek to the previous

Navigation/Radio System
The display screen is located in the center of the
instrument panel. There are ªhardº buttons and a touch
sensitive screen.
Your vehicle may be equipped with an AM-FM radio
navigation radio system that includes digital sound
processing (DSP), a Radio Data System (RDS) with
program ªtypeº selections (PTY) that will seek out
the kind of music you want to listen to. The radio system
can also communicate with your navigation system to
broadcast announcements on traffic, weather and
emergency alert communications. For information on
how to use this system, see the ªNavigation/Radio
System Supplementº.
Glovebox-Mounted CD Changer
With the compact disc changer, you can play up to six
discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played
using the trays supplied in the magazine. The smaller
discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially designed
trays.
You must ®rst load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the six trays holds
one disc. Load the trays from bottom to top, placing a
disc in the tray label side up. If you load a disc label
side down, the disc will not play and an error will occur.
Repeat this procedure for loading up to 6 discs in the
magazine. Navigation/Radio Display and Controls

Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Some audio controls can
be adjusted at the steering
wheel. They include the
following:
yVOLz(Volume):Press the up or the down
arrows to increase or to decrease volume.
ySELz(Select):While listening to the radio or to a
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service station, press the up or the
down arrows to tune to the next or the previous preset
radio station. While listening to a cassette tape, these
arrows can be used to SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing these arrows while listening to
a CD will cause the player to go to the next or the
previous track.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service
(USA Only)
XMŸ Satellite Radio Service gives you digital radio
reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to come and go. Your radio
may display NO XM SIGNAL to indicate interference.

How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can't tell if your tires are properly in¯ated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly in¯ated even when they're underin¯ated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted on each road wheel, transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the trunk.
Tire pressure status and tire pressure warnings are
shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
See
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-57,
for details regarding DIC controls and displays.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry and Science Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modi®cations to this system by anyone
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
If the TPM system detects low tire pressure, below
25 psi (172 kPa), or high tire pressure, above 38 psi
(262 kPa), a message, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. By pressing the INFO button, the DIC screen
will show which tire(s) has the low or high pressure
condition. See
In¯ation Ð Tire Pressure on page 5-61for information regarding correct tire in¯ation. If a
tire is low, you should stop as soon as possible and
check all your tires for damage. If a tire is ¯at, see
If a
Tire Goes Flat on page 5-71.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
