feature to play MP3/WMA les on the CD-R or CD-RW
in order by artist or album. Press the pushbutton
located below the music navigator label. The player
scans the disc to sort the les by artist and album ID3
tag information. It may take several minutes to scan the
disc depending on the number of MP3/WMA les

playing while it is scanning the disc in the background.
When the scan is nished, the CD-R or CD-RW
begins playing again.
Once the disc has scanned, the player defaults to
playing MP3/WMA les in order by artist. The current
artist playing is shown on the second line of the display
between the arrows. Once all songs by that artist

Navigation/Radio System
For vehicles with a navigation radio system, see the
separate Navigation System manual.
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
If the vehicle has a navigation radio system, it could
have the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
For more information on how to use the RSE system,
see “Rear Seat Entertainment System” in the Navigation
System manual.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature lets rear seat passengers listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, DVDs,
or other auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources the front
seat passengers are not listening to (except on some
radios where dual control is allowed). For example,
rear seat passengers can control a CD and listen to itthrough the headphones, 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.
You can operate the Rear Seat Audio (RSA) functions
even when the main radio is off. The front audio system
will display the headphone icon when the RSA is on,
and will disappear from the display when it is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also be
heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
Depending on the audio system, the rear speakers can
continue to play even when the RSA audio is active
through the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through
the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the
front auxiliary input (if available), located on the front
audio system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the
front auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.

The vehicle has audio steering wheel controls, they
could differ depending on the vehicle’s options.
Some audio controls can be adjusted at the steering
wheel. See the following descriptions of the controls that
can adjusted.

StabiliTrak®System
The vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that assists with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between the intended path and the direction
the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle’s
brakes to help steer the vehicle in the intended direction.
When the stability control system activates, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak light will ash on the
instrument panel. This also occurs when traction control
is activated. A noise may be heard or vibration may be
felt in the brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer
the vehicle in the intended direction.
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak, a
SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-51. When this message is
displayed, the system is not operational. Driving should
be adjusted accordingly.
StabiliTrak comes on automatically whenever the vehicle
is started. To assist with directional control of the vehicle,
the system should always be left on. StabiliTrak canbe turned off if needed by pressing and holding the
TCS/StabiliTrak button until the TCS/StabiliTrak light
comes on the instrument panel and STABILITRAK OFF
appears in the DIC. For information on turning TCS off
and on, see Traction Control System (TCS) following.
If cruise control is being used when StabiliTrak activates,
the cruise control will automatically disengage. Cruise
control may be reengaged when road conditions allow.
SeeCruise Control on page 3-12for more information.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions.
On a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the system operates if it
senses that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. On an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD)
vehicle, the system will operate if it senses that any of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When
this happens, the system brakes the spinning wheel(s)
and/or reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but
this is normal.
The TCS warning light will also ash to indicate that the
traction control system is active.

Magnetic Ride Control™
Vehicles with this feature automatically adjust the ride of
the vehicle based on driving conditions. Magnetic Ride
Control monitors the suspension system to determine the
proper system response. If the controller detects a
problem within the system, the DIC will display a
SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-51for more
information. See your dealer/retailer for service.
Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle can give more
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a
standard axle most of the time, but when traction is low,
this feature allows the drive wheel with the most traction
to move the vehicle.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
With this feature, engine power is sent to all four wheels
at all times. This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no
separate lever or switch to engage or disengage the front
axle. It is fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed for
road conditions.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer
but it will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
Traction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires
and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is
banked, and your speed. While in a curve, speed is the
one factor you can control.
If you need to reduce speed, do it before you enter the
curve, while the front wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust the speed so you can drive through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait
to accelerate until you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.

{CAUTION:
Fuel can spray out on you if you open the fuel cap
too quickly. If you spill fuel and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. This spray
can happen if the tank is nearly full, and is more
likely in hot weather. Open the fuel cap slowly and
wait for any hiss noise to stop. Then unscrew the
cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overll the
tank, and wait a few seconds after you have nished
pumping before removing the nozzle. Clean fuel
from painted surfaces as soon as possible.
SeeWashing Your Vehicle on page 5-93.
When replacing the fuel cap, turn it clockwise until it
clicks. Make sure the cap is fully installed. The diagnostic
system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate
into the atmosphere. SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-39.The TIGHTEN GAS CAP message displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) display if the fuel cap
is not reinstalled properly. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-51for more information.
{CAUTION:
If a re starts while you are refueling, do not
remove the nozzle. Shut off the ow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the station
attendant. Leave the area immediately.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer/retailer can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not t
properly. This may cause the malfunction indicator
lamp to light and may damage the fuel tank and
emissions system. SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 3-39.
