Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with an RSA system 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. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the sources that the
front seat passengers are not listening to. For example,
rear seat passengers can listen to a CD in the front
radio and control it while the front seat passengers listen
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 is not able to control the remote source. RSA
can operate when the main radio is off.

The DVD or auxiliary device are always be available on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. All
other RSA sources are available on channel (CHB or
CH2) of the wireless headphones or wired headphones.
If the RSA is off, the wired headphones provide DVD or
auxiliary device audio. The rear seat passengers are not
able to listen to XM on channel (CHB or CH2) if the front
seat passengers are listening to a DVD or an auxiliary
device.
The remote control does not operate any of the RSA
features.
RSA SRC (Rear Seat Audio Source):Press and
release to turn on the RSA system and to switch

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft of the
vehicle’s radio by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). The radio does not operate
and LOC, LOCK, or LOCKED displays if the radio is
stolen or moved to a different vehicle.
When the ignition is in the off position, a blinking red
light on the upper left side of the radio indicates
that THEFTLOCK
®is armed.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external
electronic devices are plugged into the accessory
power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles
(16 to 65 km). Although the radio has a built-in electronic
circuit that automatically works to reduce interference,
some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception
from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,
and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to
fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under
heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause
loss of the XM signal for a period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with the
vehicle’s radio. This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls, charging the phone’s
battery, or simply having the phone on. This interference
causes an increased level of static while listening to
the radio. If static is received while listening to the radio,
unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.

Filling the Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to you
and others, read and follow all the instructions on
the pump island. Turn off the engine when you are
refueling. Do not smoke if you are near fuel or
refueling the vehicle. Do not use cellular phones.
Keep sparks, ames, and smoking materials away
from fuel. Do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling the vehicle. This is against the law
in some places. Do not re-enter the vehicle while
pumping fuel. Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump fuel.
The tethered fuel cap is located behind a hinged fuel
door on the driver side of the vehicle. If the vehicle has
E85 fuel capability, the fuel cap will be yellow and
state that E85 or gasoline can be used. SeeFuel E85
(85% Ethanol) on page 5-8.
When the fuel door is opened on a vehicle with dual
sliding doors, the driver side sliding door will only open
partway.
While refueling, let the fuel cap hang by the tether.
