Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
If your vehicle has rear seat audio (RSA), this feature
allows rear seat passengers to listen to and control any
of the following audio sources: AM/FM tuner, front
CD player, and XM™ Satellite Radio Service (if
equipped). 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 a 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 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 remote source.
You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
The DVD or auxiliary device will always be available on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones.
All other RSA sources are available on CHB or CH2 of
the wireless and wired headphones. If the RSA is
off, the wired headphones will provide DVD or auxiliary
device audio. You will not be able to listen to XM,
on CHB or CH2, if you are listening to a DVD or an
auxiliary device on CHB or CH2 and vice versa.
The remote control will not operate any of the
RSA features.
O(Power):Press this button to turn the system on or
off. RSA CHB or RSA CH2 will appear on the display
when the system is on to indicate the channel to receive
audio for the wireless headphones.
Press this button when the system is on to silence the
rear speakers. Press this button again to turn the sound
back on.
BAND:Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2,
AM, or XM1 or XM2 (if equipped). The selected radio
station will appear on the display. If the front passengers
are listening to the radio, the RSA will not switch
between the bands and cannot change the station.

Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static
can occur on AM stations caused by things like
storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to
reduce this noise.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give 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 fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out. The radio may
display NO SIGNAL to indicate interference.
Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen
a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel
spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off if you ever need to. You
should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required. SeeRocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on
page 4-32andIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow on page 4-31.
To turn the system
off, press the traction
control button located
on the center of the
instrument panel.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the
button, the TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE message
will go off, but the system will not turn off until there
is no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION CONTROL OFF message will come
on to remind you the system is off. You can turn
the system back on at any time by pressing the button
again. The traction control system warning message
should go off.StabiliTrak®System
Your vehicle may be equipped with StabiliTrak®which
combines anti-lock brake, traction and stability
control systems and helps the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle in most driving conditions.
When you rst start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to
insure there are no problems. You may hear or feel
the system working. This is normal and does not mean
there is a problem with your vehicle.
If the system fails to turn on or activate, the SERVICE
STABILITY SYSTEM message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). If the vehicle has
gone through heavy acceleration or braking or multiple
turns during the rst two miles of driving after starting
your vehicle, the STABILITY CONTROL OFF message
may appear on the DIC. If this is the case, your
vehicle does not need servicing. You will need to turn
the vehicle off and then restart it to initialize StabiliTrak
®.
If either message appears on the DIC, and your
vehicle has not gone through hard acceleration, braking
or multiple turns in the rst two miles of driving, your
vehicle should be taken in for service.
The STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE message will
appear on the DIC only when the system is both on and
activated. It means that an advanced computer-controlled
system has come on to help your vehicle continue
to go in the direction in which you are steering.
4-10

StabiliTrak®activates when the computer senses that
your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a
patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the
system activates, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration
in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITY
CONTROL ACTIVE message is on, you should continue
to steer in the direction you want to go. The system is
designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult
driving situations by making the most of whatever road
conditions will permit. For more information on the
stability messages, seeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 3-45.
If the StabiliTrak
®system turns off, the traction control
system warning light will illuminate, and the STABILITY
CONTROL OFF message will appear on the DIC to
warn the driver that StabiliTrak
®is no longer available
to assist you with directional control of the vehicle.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
To limit wheel spin and realize the full benets of the
stability enhancement system, you should normally
leave traction control on, but it may be necessary to
turn the system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
ice or snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle to
attempt to free it. SeeRocking Your Vehicle to Get It
Out on page 4-32andIf Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-31.
Traction Control Operation
The traction control system is part of the StabiliTrak®
system. Traction control limits wheel spin by reducing
engine power to the wheels (engine speed
management) and by applying brakes to each individual
wheel (brake-traction control) as necessary.
The traction control system is enabled automatically
when you start your vehicle. It will activate and display
the TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE message in the
DIC if it senses that any of the wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction while driving an all-wheel-drive
vehicle, or if one or both of the front wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose traction while driving a
front-wheel-drive vehicle.
If the brake traction-control system activates constantly
or if the brakes have heated up due to high-speed
braking, brake traction-control will be disabled and the
TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE message will be
displayed. In the limited mode, the traction control
system will only use engine traction-control and is limited
in its ability to provide optimal performance since the
system will not utilize brake traction-control to control
slip on the drive wheels. The system will return to normal
operation after the brakes have cooled. This can take
up to two minutes or longer depending on brake usage.
