Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
With this feature, you can recall the latest audio
system settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows
two different drivers to store and recall their own
audio system settings. The settings recalled by the
audio system are determined by which transmitter
(1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. The audio system
settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identied driver. The settings
can also be recalled by briey pressing the
MEMORY seat switches 1 or 2 located on the
driver’s door.
Your audio system can store HOME and AWAY
preset stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations
allow you to use one set of preset radio settings
in the area where you live, and another set
when you go out of town. That way, you will not
need to reprogram your preset stations every time
you travel.
311

To select HOME and AWAY preset stations, do
the following:
1. With the audio system on, touch the Audio
hard key and turn the audio system off.
2. Touch the HOME or AWAY button from the
main audio screen.
The next time the audio system is turned on,
the system will recall the last active preset
selection.
When battery power is removed and later applied,
you will not have to reset your home audio
system preset stations because the audio system
remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio preset stations.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation of navigation and
audio system features. Voice recognition can be
used when the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted
and I AGREE has been selected. If you try to
use voice recognition without the map DVD
inserted, the system will display “Please insert the
navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition
feature.”
To use navigation voice recognition, do the
following:
1. Press the talk
symbol steering
wheel control
and release it, when
you hear a beep.
The audio system, if
on, will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on
the following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system will tell you the command being
implemented. For example, the system will
say “FM1 Radio” and change the audio
system to the FM1 source.
312

You can end voice recognition by not speaking
any commands. After about ve seconds of
silence, the system will automatically cancel voice
recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a
spoken command. If this happens, try saying the
command again. If a spoken command is not
available, the system will provide feedback based
on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep
interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise,
the system might not recognize voice commands.
The system will only recognize commands
spoken in English.

Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory power outlet.
Turn off the radio and all lamps that are not
needed. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries. And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find
the positive (+) and negative (−) terminal
locations on each vehicle. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 374for more
information on location.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you.
Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.
{CAUTION:
Using a match near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been
hurt doing this, and some have been
blinded. Use a ashlight if you need more
light.
Be sure the battery has enough water.
You do not need to add water to the
battery installed in your new vehicle. But
if a battery has ller caps, be sure the
right amount of uid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that rst. If you
do not, explosive gas could be present.
Battery uid contains acid that can burn
you. Do not get it on you. If you
accidentally get it in your eyes or on your
skin, ush the place with water and get
medical help immediately.

How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are
properly inated simply by looking at them. Radial
tires may look properly inated even when they
are underinated. Check the tire’s ination
pressure when the tires are cold. Cold means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
Press the tire gage rmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire
ination pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading Information
label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the
ination pressure is low, add air until you reach the
recommended amount.
If you overll the tire, release air by pushing on
the metal stem in the center of the tire valve.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
that sends tire pressure information to the
Driver Information Center (DIC). Using the DIC
control buttons, the driver is able to check
tire pressure levels in all four road tires. SeeTire
Pressure Monitor System on page 423and
DIC Controls and Displays on page 204for
additional information.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). This system uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure levels. TPMS
sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly on your vehicle. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires and
transmit the tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
