2003 CHEVROLET VENTURE audio

P.SET PROG (Preset Program):The front passengers
must be listening to something different for each of
these functions to work:
·Press this button to scan through the preset radio
stations set on the pushbuttons on the main radio.
The radio will go to a preset station stored on
your pushbuttons, play for a few seconds, then go
on to the next preset station. Press this button
again to stop scanning presets.
·When a cassette tape is playing, press this button
to go to the other side of the tape.
·When a CD is playing, press this button to select
a disc.
TAPE CD:Press this button to switch between playing
a cassette tape or a compact disc when listening to
the radio. The inactive tape or compact disc will remain
safely inside the radio for future listening.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (With
Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, 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 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.
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.

Vehicle Storage
If you are not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, remove the black, negative (-) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
{CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
are not careful. See
Jump Starting on
page 5-44
for tips on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see
Theft-Deterrent
Feature (Non-RDS Radios) on page 3-103orTheft-Deterrent Feature (RDS Radios) on page 3-103.
Jump Starting
If your battery has run down, you may want to use
another vehicle and some jumper cables to start your
vehicle. Be sure to follow the steps below to do it safely.
On vehicles equipped with the optional power sliding
door, a low-voltage battery or replacing a battery
may cause the system to become inoperative. See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-17for more
information.
{CAUTION:
Batteries can hurt you. They can be dangerous
because:
·They contain acid that can burn you.
·They contain gas that can explode or
ignite.
·They contain enough electricity to
burn you.
If you do not follow these steps exactly, some
or all of these things can hurt you.
