control to switch between AM, FM1 or FM2 memory preset stations.
AM/FM select in CD mode
Press to stop CD play and begin radio play.
Radio reception factors:
•Distance/strength.The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is.
The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km
(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal
modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their
strength/volume relative to other stations.
•Terrain.Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s
antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems.
Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering
structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.
•Station overload.Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger
signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may
temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station
frequency is displayed.
AM/FM select in navigation mode
Press once when in navigation mode to return to the audio screen (while
the navigation function continues to work in the background). Press
again to enter AM/FM mode where you are able to make frequency band
adjustments.

Rear seat controls (RSC)
Your vehicle is equipped with rear seat controls, which allow the rear
seat passengers to operate and listen to a different playing media than
the front seat passengers. To engage the rear seat controls from the VNR
system:
•Press the headphone/speaker icon
on the VNR system. The
headphone icon illuminates in the
display indicating the system has
enabled Rear Seat Control mode. A subsequent press of this button
will disable rear seat control (headphone/speaker icon on display will
appear with a red slash through it).
When RSC is active, pressing presets 2 and 4 simultaneously on the radio
will enable Dual Play mode (or the RSC can enable Dual Play mode by
pressing the
/button). The front speakers play the selected media
and the rear speakers mute. In this mode, the rear passengers may
adjust the volume and other levels using the rear seat control.
Additionally in Dual Play mode, the front and rear seat passengers can
listen to the same playing media. However, rear seat passengers listen to
the media over their headphones (thereby being able to adjust the
volume) and the front seat passengers listen via the front seat speakers.
Press the headphone/speaker control again to disengage the rear seat
controls (and Dual Play mode). The system returns to Single Play mode.
Front and rear speakers will play the selected media.
For further information on the rear seat controls, refer toRear Seat
Controlssection found earlier in this chapter.
Navigation features
The route guidance navigation system in your audio unit will not function
unless a navigation CD is inserted.
Ensure that you follow highway code restrictions and do not take
any risks. For example, if you are unable to make a U-turn,
continue on your journey. The navigation system will recalculate
your route to get you back to an appropriate road to your
destination.
For road safety reasons, information should only be entered
when the vehicle is stationary.
