Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the music sources: radio, cassette tapes or CDs
and to use automatic tone control. 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.
PWR (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@
equipped vehicle. You may operate the rear seat audio
functions even when the primary radio power is
off.
VOL (Volume): Turn the knob to increase or to
decrease volume. The left VOL knob controls the left
headphone and the right
VOL knob controls the
right headphone.

QVQ Distortion
You may experience audio distortion in the
IR headphones when operating cellular phones,
scanners,
CB radios, Global Positioning Systems
(GPS)*, two-way radios, mobile fax, or walkie talkies.
It may be necessary to turn
off the DVD player
when operating one of these devices in or near the
vehicle.
* Excludes the Onstar@ System.
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
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.

Your Driving, the Road, and
Your Vehicle
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive
defensively.
Please start with
a very important safety device in your
vehicle: Buckle up. See
Safety Belts: They Are for
Everyone on page 1-8.
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.”
On city streets, rural roads or freeways, it means
“always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to
be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what
they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of
accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough following
distance.
It’s the best defensive driving maneuver, in
both city and rural driving. You never know when
the vehicle in front of you is going
to brake or turn
suddenly.
Defensive driving requires that a driver concentrate on
the driving task. Anything that distracts from the
driving task
- such as concentrating on a cellular
telephone call, reading, or reaching for something on
the floor
- makes proper defensive driving more difficult and can
even cause a collision, with resulting injury.
Ask a passenger
to help do things like this, or pull off the
road in a safe place to do them yourself. These simple
defensive driving techniques could save your life.
Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy.
It’s the number one contributor to
the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims
every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a
vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Attentiveness.
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,
these deaths are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years, more than
16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol, with more than
300,000 people injured.
