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 smoother, 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.

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.
Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Versatile
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.

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.

DVD Distortion
You may experience video distortion when operating
cellular phones, scanners, CB radios, Global Position
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
žSystem.
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.
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.
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they are not, they may not operate
properly or may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN to
indicate that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this
message appears on the display, your cassette
tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes,
but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage to your tapes and player. If you notice
a reduction in sound quality, try a known good
cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault.
If this other cassette has no improvement in sound
quality, clean the tape player.
For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as
the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The recommended
cleaning cassette is available through your dealer.
