Rear Climate Control System
(Without Entertainment System)
Your vehicle may have a rear climate-control system
that allows the driver to adjust the fan speed or a
rear-seat passenger to set a separate temperature and
adjust the fan speed, for the rear-seating area. This
system works with the main climate-control system in
your vehicle.
This knob is located below
the main climate-control
system on the instrument
panel switchbank. Use
this knob to adjust the fan
speed for the rear-seat
passengers, from the
front-seating area.These controls are overhead, on the control panel
located behind the driver's seat. A rear-seat passenger
can use these controls to personally adjust the
temperature and the fan speed for the rear-seating
area.
The fan knob located on the switchbank must be turned
to R (Rear) to allow the rear-seat passengers to use
the controls located on the control panel in the
rear-seating area. Performing this action disables the
fan knob on the switchbank. To return control to
that knob, turn the knob out of R.

Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
·You're driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
·The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
·The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
·There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
·The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Video
Disc (DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system works with the vehicle's audio system and
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
headphones and a remote control. The entertainment
system also integrates the rear climate control and rear
seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions your
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep your video components from
being damaged while the temperature is below
-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above 140ÉF (60ÉC). To resume
operation, shut off the entertainment system, pull down
the video screen and then heat or cool the vehicle
until the temperature is within the operating range.

Headphones
The entertainment system
includes dual channel,
wireless headphones. The
headphones have an
ON/OFF switch, a channel
A/B switch and a volume
control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch located on the
left side to ON. An indicator light located on the right
side will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See ªBattery
Replacementº later in this section for more information.
Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
If you move too far forward, step out of the vehicle or
break the ªline of sightº between the headphones and the
display above the video screen, the sound in the
headphones will be degraded or will cut out entirely. If the
system is shut off, or the headphones are out of the ªline
of sightº for more than three minutes, the headphones will
shut off automatically to preserve battery life.If the channel switch located on the right side is on A,
the headphones will play the DVD or auxiliary device.
See ªStereo RCA Jacksº later in this section for
more information. If the channel switch is on B, the
headphones will play the rear seat audio system. See
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without Entertainment System)
on page 3-99orRear Seat Audio (RSA) (With
Entertainment System) on page 3-101for more
information.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Slide open the battery door located on the left side
of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Slide the battery door shut.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without
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 seatpassengers 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.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power):Push this knob twice to turn RSA off.
