Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.
NOTE:The radio, steering wheel radio controls, and
6-disc CD/DVD changer (if equipped) will remain active
for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turnedOFF. Opening either front door will cancel this feature.
The time is programmable. Refer to “Delay Power Off to
Accessories Until Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Cus-
tomer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.

tion, while the Advanced Voice Dialog System recognizes
more than 1,000 words for audio, navigation, entertain-
ment, and hands-free mobile phone use.
The satellite navigation capability combines a Global-
Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation system with
an integrated color screen to provide maps, turn identi-
fication, selection menus, and instructions for selecting a
variety of destinations and routes.A shared HDD for the navigation system, the database,
and other radio features allows uploads of music and
photos from CDs or through the USB port. The Gracenote
database finds the artist, track, and title for the music.
An auxiliary input jack permits passengers to listen to a
portable MP3 player through the vehicle’s speakers. For
vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Entertainment System
(VES), separate audio outputs allow passengers to listen
to the vehicle speakers while different audio tracks play
through the system’s wireless headphones. This means
rear-seat passengers can watch a DVD on the optional
rear-seat entertainment system while the driver and
front-seat passenger listen to the radio.
