Rear Climate Control System (With
Entertainment System)
Your vehicle may have a rear climate control system
that allows the driver to adjust the fan speed or a
rear seat passenger to set a separate temperature and
adjust the fan speed, for the rear seating area. This
system works with the main climate control system in
your vehicle.
This knob is located below
the main climate control
system on the instrument
panel switchbank. Use
this knob to adjust the fan
speed for the rear seat
passengers.These controls are overhead, on the control panel located
behind the front seats. A rear seat passenger can use
these controls to personally adjust the temperature and
the fan speed for the rear seating area.
The fan knob located on the switchbank must be turned
to R (Rear) to allow the rear seat passengers to use
the controls located on the control panel in the rear
seating area. If this fan knob is not in R when the FAN
or TEMP button is pressed, the rear control panel
will show DISABLED.
To direct the airow to the rear seating area, use the
right knob located on the main climate control panel.
Select vent or bi-level mode to direct air to the
rear of the vehicle through the overhead outlets.
Select oor, defog, or defrost mode to direct air to
the rear of the vehicle through the oor outlets.
Generally the upper outlets are used for air conditioning
and the oor outlets are used for heating.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment lter. The lter removes most particles
from the air, including dust particles. Reductions
in airow, which may occur more quickly in dusty areas,
indicate that the lter needs to be replaced early. For
how often to change the air lter, seeScheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4.

Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a 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 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 the
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep the video components from
being damaged while the temperature is below
−4°F (−20°C) or above 140°F (60°C). 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.
Headphones
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 “Battery
Replacement” 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 line of sight 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 line
of sight for more than three minutes, the headphones will
shut off automatically to save battery life.

If you put things inside your vehicle — like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else, they will go as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly,
or if there is a crash, they will keep going.
{CAUTION:
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of your
vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Do not leave a seat folded down unless
you need to.
Towing
Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your disabled vehicle towed. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6.
If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle
for recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),
see “Recreational Vehicle Towing” following.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle
behind another vehicle – such as behind a motorhome.
The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground) and “dolly towing”
(towing your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device know as a “dolly”).
With the proper preparation and equipment, many
vehicles can be towed in these ways. See “Dinghy
Towing” and “Dolly Towing,” following.

Tire Size
The following illustration shows an example of a typical
passenger vehicle tire size.
(A) Passenger (P-Metric) Tire:The United States
version of a metric tire sizing system. The letter P as the
rst character in the tire size means a passenger
vehicle tire engineered to standards set by the U.S. Tire
and Rim Association.
(B) Tire Width:The three-digit number indicates the
tire section width in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall.
(C) Aspect Ratio:A two-digit number that indicates
the tire height-to-width measurements. For example, if
the tire size aspect ratio is 60, as shown in item C of the
illustration, it would mean that the tire’s sidewall is
60 percent as high as it is wide.(D) Construction Code:A letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply construction in the tire. The letter
R means radial ply construction; the letter D means
diagonal or bias ply construction; and the letter B means
belted-bias ply construction.
(E) Rim Diameter:Diameter of the wheel in inches.
(F) Service Description:These characters represent
the load range and speed rating of the tire. The load
index represents the load carry capacity a tire is certied
to carry. The load index can range from 1 to 279. The
speed rating is the maximum speed a tire is certied
to carry a load. Speed ratings range from A to Z.
Tire Terminology and Denitions
Air Pressure:The amount of air inside the tire pressing
outward on each square inch of the tire. Air pressure
is expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight:This means the combined weight
of optional accessories. Some examples of optional
accessories are, automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes, power windows, power seats, and air
conditioning.
Aspect Ratio:The relationship of a tire’s height to
its width.
