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)
System
Vehicles with this feature allow
the rear seat passengers to listen
to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CD, DVD, 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.
To listen to an iPod or portable
audio device through the RSA,
attach the iPod or portable audio
device to the auxiliary input
(if available), located below the
RSA. Turn the iPod on, then choose
the auxiliary input with the RSA
SRCE button. An iPod
®or portable
audio device can be connected
to the front auxiliary jack or the
USB port.

(US and Canada)
Read the following Options
descriptions to understand how
the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™
(USA and Canada)
Vehicles with the navigation system
have an XM NavTraffic™ receiver.
XM NavTraffic™ is a subscription
service provided via XM™ Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic ™provides
real-time traffic information fully
integrated to the navigation
system to display current traffic
conditions for a driver ’s chosen
route. XM NavTraffic™ allows
drivers to make the most informed,
timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic screen button is
pressed or if an attempt is made
to turn on the traffic display in the
Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription, a Caution screen
displays indicating that XM traffic is
not activated.
Three types of traffic information for
major roadways are displayed on
the navigation system:
.Unscheduled traffic incident
data, such as accidents and
disabled vehicles
.Scheduled traffic incident data,
such as road construction and
road closures
.Traffic flow information (rate of
speed data)

Vehicle Care 10-59
If your vehicle has P265/65R18 or
P285/45R22 size tires and you will
be driving at high speeds, speeds of
100 mph (160 km/h) or higher, set
the cold inflation pressure to 3 psi
(20 kPa) above the recommended
tire pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information Label. When
you end this high‐speed driving,
return the tires to the cold inflation
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑24
andTire Pressure on page 10‑57.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly
under‐inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them
to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly under‐inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under‐inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.Please note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under‐inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start‐ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or

10-90 Vehicle Care
Notice:Only use vehicles with
12-volt systems with negative
grounds to jump start your
vehicle. If the other vehicle's
system is not a 12-volt system
with a negative ground, both
vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach,
but be sure the vehicles are
not touching each other. If they
are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want.
You would not be able to start
your vehicle, and the bad
grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the
vehicles rolling, set the parking
brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start
procedure. Put the automatic
transmission in P (Park) or
a manual transmission in N (Neutral) before setting the
parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure
that the transfer case is in a
drive gear, not in N (Neutral).
Notice: If you leave the radio or
other accessories on during the
jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the
radio and other accessories
when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory
power outlets. Turn off the radio
and all the lamps that are not
needed. This avoids sparks and
helps save both batteries. And it
could save the radio! 4. Open the hood on the other
vehicle and locate the
positive (+) and negative (−)
terminal locations on that
vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote
positive (+) jump starting
terminal and a remote
negative (−) jump starting
terminal. You should always use
these remote terminals instead
of the terminals on the battery.
If the vehicle has a remote
positive (+) terminal, it is located
under a red plastic cover at the
positive battery post. To uncover
the remote positive (+) terminal,
open the red plastic cover.
