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.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of IR (Infrared) wireless headphones, a

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 temperature conditions your
entertainment system should not be operated until the

your video components from being damaged when
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.

The entertainment system includes two IR wireless
headphones.
Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with
customer provided headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate. If the light
does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be
replaced. See
Battery Replacementlater in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF
when not in use.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources: radio, cassette tapes or CDs.
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.
Your vehicle may have one of the following:PWR /
P(Power):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
žequipped vehicle. You may operate the rear
seat audio functions even when the primary radio power
is off.

CD) using the remote keyless entry transmitter. This
feature can also store and recall AM and FM presets,
volume, tone and the last selected radio station.The number on the back of each transmitter (1 or 2)
corresponds to driver 1 or 2. If transmitter 1 is used to
enter the vehicle, the last used audio source and/or
settings set by driver 1 will be recalled. If transmitter 2 is
used to enter the vehicle, the last used audio source
and/or settings set by driver 2 will be recalled.

the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not
operate and LOCKED will be displayed.
When the radio and vehicle are turned off, the blinking
red light indicates that THEFTLOCK
žis armed.

Off-Road Recovery
You may ®nd that your right wheels have dropped off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you're
driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way,
steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of
the pavement. You can turn the steering wheel up to
one-quarter turn until the right front tire contacts
the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.
Passing
The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a
two-lane highway waits for just the right moment,
accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead, then
goes back into the right lane again. A simple maneuver?
Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on a two-lane
highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the
passing vehicle occupies the same lane as oncoming
traffic for several seconds. A miscalculation, an error in
judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or anger
can suddenly put the passing driver face to face with the
worst of all traffic accidents Ð the head-on collision.
So here are some tips for passing:
·ªDrive ahead.º Look down the road, to the sides
and to crossroads for situations that might affect
your passing patterns. If you have any doubt
whatsoever about making a successful pass, wait
for a better time.
·Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings and
lines. If you can see a sign up ahead that might
indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass.
A broken center line usually indicates it's all
right to pass (providing the road ahead is clear).
Never cross a solid line on your side of the lane or
a double solid line, even if the road seems empty
of approaching traffic.

·Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to
pass while you're awaiting an opportunity. For
one thing, following too closely reduces your area
of vision, especially if you're following a larger
vehicle. Also, you won't have adequate space if the
vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep
back a reasonable distance.
·When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up,
start to accelerate but stay in the right lane and
don't get too close. Time your move so you will be
increasing speed as the time comes to move
into the other lane. If the way is clear to pass, you
will have a ªrunning startº that more than makes
up for the distance you would lose by dropping
back. And if something happens to cause you to
cancel your pass, you need only slow down
and drop back again and wait fo another
opportunity.
·If other vehicles are lined up to pass a slow vehicle,
wait your turn. But take care that someone isn't
trying to pass you as you pull out to pass the slow
vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder
and check the blind spot.
·Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and
start your left lane change signal before moving out
of the right lane to pass. When you are far
enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front
in your inside mirror, activate your right lane
change signal and move back into the right lane.
(Remember that your right outside mirror is convex.
The vehicle you just passed may seem to be
farther away from you than it really is.)
·Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on
two-lane roads. Reconsider before passing the
next vehicle.
·Don't overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.
Even though the brake lamps are not ¯ashing, it
may be slowing down or starting to turn.
·If you're being passed, make it easy for the
following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you
can ease a little to the right.
