Introduction
Determine which radio the vehicle
has and read the following pages to
become familiar with its features.
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road for
extended periods could cause
a crash resulting in injury or
death to you or others. Do not
give extended attention to
entertainment tasks while driving.
This system provides access to
many audio and non‐audio listings.
To minimize taking your eyes off the
road while driving, do the following
while the vehicle is parked:
.Become familiar with the
operation and controls of the
audio system.
.Set up the tone, speaker
adjustments, and preset radio
stations. For more information, see
Defensive
Driving on page 9‑2.
Notice: Contact your dealer
before adding any equipment.
Adding audio or communication
equipment could interfere with
the operation of the vehicle's
engine, radio, or other systems,
and could damage them. Follow
federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone equipment.
The vehicle has Retained
Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP,
the audio system can be played
even after the ignition is turned off.

Infotainment System 7-13
Check XM Receivr:If this
message does not clear within a
short period of time, the receiver
could have a fault. Consult with
your dealer.
XM Not Available: If this message
does not clear within a short period
of time, the receiver could have a
fault. Consult with your dealer.
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
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).
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.

Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Radios with an auxiliary input jack
located on the lower right side of the
faceplate can connect to an external
audio device such as an iPod
®,
MP3 player, or CD player, for use as
another source for audio listening.
This input jack is not an audio
output; do not plug headphones
into the front auxiliary input jack.
Drivers are encouraged to
set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park).
See Defensive Driving
on
page 9‑2for more information
on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the radio's front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press
the radio CD/AUX button to begin
playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers. For optimal sound quality, increase
the portable audio device's volume
to the loudest level.
It is always best to power the
portable audio device through its
own battery while playing.
O(Power/Volume):
Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the volume
of the portable player. Additional
volume adjustments might have to
be made from the portable device
if the volume is not loud or soft
enough.
BAND: Press to listen to the radio
when a portable audio device is
playing. The portable audio device
continues playing.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press to
play a CD when a portable audio
device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio
from the connected portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, “No Input Device
Found” displays. DVD/CD AUX (DVD/CD/
Auxiliary):
Press to cycle
through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary
when listening to the radio.
The DVD/CD text tab and a
message showing track or chapter
number will display when a disc is
in either slot. Press again and the
system automatically searches for
an auxiliary input device, such as a
portable audio player. If a portable
audio player is not connected,
“No Aux Input Device” displays.
If a disc is in both the DVD slot
and the CD slot, the DVD/CD AUX
button cycles between the two
sources and does not indicate
“No Aux Input Device.” If a front
auxiliary device is connected, the
DVD/CD AUX button cycles through
all available options, such as: DVD
slot, CD slot, front auxiliary, and rear
auxiliary (if available). See “Using
the Auxiliary Input Jack” in this
section, or “Audio/Video (A/V)
Jacks” underRear Seat

Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
The vehicle may have a DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
The RSE system works with the
vehicle's audio system. The DVD
player is part of the front radio.
The RSE system includes a radio
with a DVD player, a video display
screen, audio/video jacks, two
wireless headphones, and a remote
control. SeeCD/DVD Player
on
page 7‑21for more information
on the vehicle's CD/DVD player.
Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat
passengers only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while
driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather
conditions, the RSE system might
not work until the temperature
is within the operating range.
The operating range for the RSE
system is above −20°C (−4°F)
or below 60°C (140°F). If the
temperature of the vehicle is outside
this range, heat or cool the vehicle
until the temperature is within the
operating range of the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a
Parental Control feature, depending
on which radio the vehicle has.
To start Parental Control, press
and hold the radio power button
for more than two seconds to stop all system features such as: radio,
video screen, Rear Seat Audio
(RSA), DVD, and/or CD. While
Parental Control is on, a padlock
icon displays.
The radio can be turned back on
with a single press of the power
button, but the RSE system will
remain under Parental Control.
To turn Parental Control off, press
and hold the radio power button for
more than two seconds. The RSE
returns from where it was previously
left and the padlock icon disappears
from the radio display.
Parental Control can also be turned
off by inserting or ejecting any disc,
pressing the play icon on the radio
DVD display menu, or changing an
ignition position.
