Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system that
includes Radio Data System (RDS) with Program
Type (PTY) selections that will seek out the kind of music
you want to listen to and XM™ Satellite Radio Service
capabilities (if equipped). The radio can also
communicate with the navigation system to broadcast
announcements on traffic, weather, and emergency alert
communications. For information on how to use this
system, see the “Navigation System” manual.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the sources: radio, cassette tapes, or CDs. However,
the rear seat passengers can only control the sources
that the front seat passengers are not listening to.
For example, rear seat passengers may listen to and
control cassette tapes or CDs through the 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 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
not be able to control the source. You can operate the
rear seat audio when the main radio is off.
If your vehicle has the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
system and the system is on, the rear seat passengers
can listen to the DVDs through the wired headphone
jacks on the RSA system. The RSE system cannot be
controlled with the RSA system.
If the front seat passengers are listening to the RSE
system through the vehicle’s speakers and the rear seat
passengers are using the wired headphones to listen
to the RSA system, the BAND button will not access
XM™ Satellite Radio Service.

This feature requires no user input to be activated.
The radio is automatically armed when it is put into the
vehicle for the rst time.
When the ignition is turned off, the blinking red light
indicates that THEFTLOCK
