Section 2 Features and Controls

Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, then the controls
for the memory function are
located on the driver’s door.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver’s seat, throttle and brake
pedals, both the driver’s and passenger’s outside mirror,
and the radio station presets. The settings for these
features can be personalized for both driver 1 and driver
2. Driver 1 or driver 2 corresponds to the memory
buttons labeled 1and 2 on the driver’s door.To store your memory seat, throttle and brake pedals,
mirrors and radio presets, do the following:
1. Adjust the driver’s seat (including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, and side wing area), throttle
and brake pedals, both of the outside mirrors, and
the radio station presets to your preference.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (for driver 1or 2) button
of the memory control for three seconds. A double
chime will sound to let you know that the position
has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the
preceding steps, but press the other numbered
memory control button.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound and
the memory position will be recalled.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver’s
seat, throttle and brake pedal, mirror positions and the
radio station presets will be recalled if programmed
to do so through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.

CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the display, it
could be for one of the following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smooth, the CD should play.
The CD 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 cannot 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.
Listening to a DVD
If your vehicle has Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
system and a DVD is playing, the DVD symbol will appear
on the radio display indicating that the DVD is available
and can be listened to through your vehicles speakers.
To listen to the DVD, press the CD AUX button until RSE
appears on the radio display. The current radio source
will stop and the DVD sound will come through the
speakers. To stop listening to the DVD, press the CD
AUX button, if a CD is loaded, or press the BAND button
to select a different source.
When the RSE system is turned off, the DVD symbol
will go off of the radio display and RSE OFF will appear
on the radio display. The radio will return to the last
radio source that you were listening to.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile
Disc (DVD) Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The
RSE system includes a DVD player, a video display
screen, two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers. The driver
cannot safely view the video screen while driving and
should not try to do so.

DVD Player
The DVD player is located in the overhead console. The
DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on the
DVD player or by the buttons on the remote control. See
“Remote Control” later in this section for more
information.
The DVD player power may be turned on when the
ignition is in RUN, ACCESSORY, or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
The RSE system DVD player is only compatible with
DVDs of the appropriate DVD region code for the
country that the vehicle was sold in. The DVD region
code is printed on the jacket of most DVDs.
Standard audio CDs (CD-R and CD-RW discs) can also
be played in this DVD player.
When using the wired headphones, if the front seat
passengers play a CD in the Radio with Six-Disc CD (if
equipped) or use XM™ Satellite Radio Service (48
contiguous US states, if equipped), you will hear the
audio for these sources, instead of the DVD or CD that
is currently playing through the RSE.
If an error message appears on the video screen, see
“DVD Messages” later in this section.
