program ªtypeº selections (PTY) that will seek out the
kind of music you want to listen to and XMŸ Satellite

navigation system to broadcast announcements on
traffic, weather and emergency alert communications.

ªNavigation Systemº manual.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
any of the audio sources: radio, cassette tapes,
CDs, DVDs, XMŸ (USA only, if equipped) depending
on your vehicles options. 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
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.
