When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
The light may ash red when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept
clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud,
dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other conditions that may
affect system performance include things like the
vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning the
rear bumper and then driving forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h), the display continues to ash red, see
your dealer.
If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or
an object was on the back of, or hanging out of your
liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may
also ash red. The light will continue to ash whenever
in REVERSE (R) until your vehicle is driven forward
at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any obstructions
behind the vehicle.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a front accessory
power outlet located below the climate controls on
the instrument panel. It can be used to plug in electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.
Pull the cover down to use the accessory power outlet.
When not in use, keep the cover on.
The rear accessory power outlet is located on the rear
compartment on the driver’s side.
To remove the cover, pull the tab on the cover and pull
it off. To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at
the back of the cover and put the cover in place. Push
down the tab to secure the cover. When not in use,
always cover the rear accessory power outlet with the
protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.

Driving without distraction is a necessity for a safer
driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on page 4-2.
By taking a few moments to read this manual and
get familiar with your vehicle’s audio system, you can
use it with less effort, as well as take advantage of
its features. While your vehicle is parked, set up your

favorite stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls (if equipped).

access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and you
or others can be injured or killed. Always keep
your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive — avoid engaging in extended searching
while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. For more information, seeDefensive Driving on
page 4-2. Get familiar with your vehicle’s audio
system so you can use it with less effort and take full
advantage of its features.

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 a CD
in the front radio and control it 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 headphones, as well as the wired
headphones. If the RSA is off, the wired headphones
will provide DVD or auxiliary device audio. The rear seat
passengers will not be able to listen to XM, on CHB
or CH2, if the front passenger is listening to a DVD or
auxiliary device.
The remote control will not operate any of the RSA
features.RSA

system on or off. RSA CHB or RSA CH2 will appear on
the display when the system is on to indicate the

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.
