CDs with homemade paper
(adhesive) labels should not be
inserted into the CD player as
the label may peel and cause the
CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade
CDs be identified with
permanent felt tip marker rather
than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact your authorized dealer for further information.
Audio system warranty and service
Refer to theWarranty Guide/Customer Information Guidefor audio
system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or
qualified technician.
MP3 track and folder structure
Your MP3 system recognizes MP3 individual tracks and folder structure
as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3 disc playback: MP3 track mode
(system default) and MP3 folder mode. For more information on track
and folder mode, refer toSample MP3 structurein the following
section.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folder structure on the MP3 disc. The
player numbers each MP3 track on the disc (noted by the .mp3 file
extension) from T001 to a maximum of T255.
Note:The maximum number of playable MP3 files may be less
depending on the structure of the CD and exact model of radio
present.
•MP3 folder mode represents a folder structure consisting of one level
of folders. The CD player numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (noted
by the .mp3 file extension) and all folders containing MP3 files, from
F001 (folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level of folders will help with navigation
through the disc files.

Sample MP3 structure
If you are burning your own MP3
discs, it is important to understand
how the system will read the
structures you create. While various
files may be present, (files with
extensions other than mp3), only
files with the .mp3 extension will be
played. Other files will be ignored
by the system. This enables you to
use the same MP3 disc for a variety
of tasks on your work computer,
home computer and your in vehicle
system.
In track mode, the system will display and play the structure as if it were
only one level deep (all .mp3 files will be played, regardless of being in a
specific folder). In folder mode, the system will only play the .mp3 files
in the current folder.
Satellite radio information (if equipped)
Satellite radio channels:SIRIUS broadcasts a variety of music, news,
sports, weather, traffic and entertainment satellite radio channels. For
more information and a complete list of SIRIUS satellite radio channels,
visit www.sirius.com in the United States, www.sirius-canada.ca in
Canada, or call SIRIUS at 1–888–539–7474.
Satellite radio reception factors:To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
•Antenna obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.

•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.
SIRIUS satellite radio service:SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscription
based satellite radio service that broadcasts music, sports, news and
entertainment programming. A service fee is required in order to receive
SIRIUS service. Vehicles that are equipped with a factory installed
SIRIUS Satellite Radio system include:
•Hardware and limited subscription term, which begins on the date of
sale or lease of the vehicle.
•Use of online media player providing access to all SIRIUS music
channels over the internet using any computer connected to the
internet (U.S. customers only).
For information on extended subscription terms, contact SIRIUS at

the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down when the vehicle interior is
significantly warmer than the outside temperature, drive with the
windows slightly open for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
•If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and
idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run
the A/C in the MAX A/C position, adjust the blower fan speed to the
lowest setting, turn off the rear A/C unit and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from
your A/C system.
For maximum cooling performance in panel (
) mode:
•Select MAX A/C mode. MAX A/C uses recirculated air with A/C to
provide a cooler airflow.
•Move the temperature control to the coolest setting.
•Set the fan to the highest speed initially, then adjust in order to
maintain comfort.

WARNING:Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and
do not let children play with the power sliding back window.
They may seriously injure themselves.
Normal operation
When the power down back window is opened, it will stop in the vent
position. When the window is closed from full open, it will not stop in
the vent position. When the power down back window is in motion, the
control switch can be pressed to change the window direction and move
it to the closest position.
If the power down back window is moving up and the ignition is
switched to off (without accessory delay power enabled) the window will
reverse direction and move down to either the full open or vent position.
If the window is within 0.16 in. (4 mm) of the upper header, it will
completely close.
Bounce-back
When the back window is moving toward the fully closed position and an
obstacle interferes with the window’s movement, the back window will
reverse direction and move toward the fully open position. This is known
as “bounce-back”.
Security override
If, during a bounce-back condition and within two seconds after the
window stops, the control is held in the closed direction,the back
window will travel closed with no bounce-back protection.If the
control is released before the window reaches fully closed, the back
window will continue moving with bounce-back re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
•Ice on the window causing a restriction.
•Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the motor loses position and stops mid travel, the motor will respond
to switch inputs by moving 0.6 in. (15 mm) each switch command in the
up direction only. Down will be a one touch down operation. If the
window is stalled in the down position and there are no other system
faults, the motor shall relearn its position and resume full functionality. If
there is a feedback signal loss, the window will remain in its 0.6 in.
(15 mm) travel mode with each switch command and will not recover
full functionality. This will allow you to “inch” the window up to the fully
closed position. If the window does not operate correctly, see your dealer
for service.
