Cleaning the Components Use care when touching or cleaning the components
such as the DVD player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for DVD players because
the lens of the DVD optics can become contaminated
by lubricants.
Handle CDs and DVDs carefully. Store them in their
original cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The DVD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD or DVD may not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD or DVD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a
mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and
clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the
center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD or DVD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs
or DVDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the
hole and the outer edge. Rear Seat Audio (RSA) Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat
passengers to listen to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources.
The rear seat passengers can control the same music
sources the front seat passengers are listening to (dual
control) or a different source. For example, rear seat
passengers can listen to and control a CD through the
headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through
the speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of
the volume for each set of headphones.
The radio functionality is controlled by both the RSA
and the front radio, only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the RSA or the front
radio will change band on the other system.
RSA functions can be operated even when the main
radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not
included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on
Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
The audio system allows the rear speakers to continue
playing even when the RSA audio is active through the
headphones.

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.

Maps This section includes basic information that you need to

The maps are stored on a DVD. The United States,
Canada, and Puerto Rico are contained on one disc. Detailed Areas Road network attributes are contained in the map
database for detailed areas. Attributes include
information such as street names, street address, turn
restrictions, etc. A detailed area includes all major
highways, service roads, and residential roads. The
detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such
as: restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police
stations, gas stations, tourist attractions, historical
monuments, etc. The map database may not include
data for newly constructed areas or map database
corrections that are completed after the production of
the disc. The navigation system provides full route
guidance in the detailed map areas.
Limited Guidance Areas Any area that is not classified as detailed, is a limited
guidance area. Limited guidance streets are displayed
on the map but route guidance may not be given on
these streets. Some POI categories, such as the city
center POI category, and some street addresses are
included in the limited guidance areas.
The navigation system informs through voice prompts
when you are traveling into a limited guidance area
where route guidance is not available. The street maps
and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation
system can then be used to determine the remaining
route to your destination.
