Playback and format
•The DVD player of your Family Entertainment DVD System can only
be used in the “playback” mode. (The DVD player does not offer a
record feature.)
•The system plays standard CDs, DVDs and also plays most CD R/W,
DVD R/W, VCD and MP3 media.
Saving MP3 files
•Your Family Entertainment System supports discs containing up to
255 files. Discs containing more than 255 files will not play.
•Always save MP3 files with the .mp3 extension. The player recognizes
an MP3 file by the .mp3 extension, so MP3 files saved with different
extensions will not be played. Never save a non-MP3 file with the
.mp3 extension as the file will not play properly.
•The player supports multi session discs. However, be sure to import
the previous session of the disc before you add new files. If you do not
import the previous session, only the last session will be played.
•When burning a disc,ensure that you close/finalize the disc
before playback, or the disc may not play properly or an error
message may appear.
•Some CD-RW discs may operate inconsistently and may cause an error
message to appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto CD-R discs.
Family Entertainment DVD System protection circuits
High temperature sensor circuit
•Excessively high temperatures may cause damage to the DVD player.
•When the temperature of the DVD player becomes too hot, the high
temperature sensor circuit stops machine operation. DVD/CD HOT will
be displayed on the radio display.
•The DVD player will remain disabled until it cools to a normal
operating temperature. The length of time for the system to cool will
vary depending on the climate and operating conditions.
Operating
•Only use the system when the vehicle is started for optimal
performance and to maintain battery life.

if your vehicle receives an impact of 5 mph (8 km/h) or more, the safety
belt will become locked and help reduce your forward movement.
Energy Management Feature — Front Outboard
•This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management
feature at the front seats to help further reduce the risk of injury in
the event of a head-on collision.
•This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to
extend the safety belt webbing in a controlled manner. This helps
reduce the belt force acting on the user’s chest.
Failure to inspect and replace if necessary the Belt and
Retractor assembly after an accident could increase the risk of
injury in a collision.
All safety restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder
belts. All of the passenger combination lap and shoulder belts have two
types of locking modes described below:
Vehicle sensitive mode
This is the normal retractor mode, which allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locking in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce forward
movement of the driver and passengers.
Automatic locking mode
When to use the automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic
locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.
This mode should be usedany timea child safety seat is installed in a
passenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children
12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat
whenever possible. Refer toSafety restraints for childrenorSafety
seats for childrenlater in this chapter.
