console surface, use only a clean
cloth dampened with clean water.
Cleaning the Video Screen

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, CDs, DVDs, or
other auxiliary sources. However,
the rear seat passengers can
only control the music sources
the front seat passengers are not
listening to (except on some radios
where dual control is allowed).For example, rear seat passengers
can control and listen to a CD
through the headphones, while the
driver listens to the radio through
the front 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
the band on the other system,
if they are both sourced to the radio.
The RSA functions operate even
when the main radio is off. The
front audio system will display the
headphone icon when the RSA is
on, and will disappear from the
display when it 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 mutes the rear
speakers when the RSA audio is
active through the headphones.
P(Power):
Press thePbutton to
turn the RSA on or off.
Volume: Turn this knob to increase
or to decrease the volume of the
wired headphones. The left knob
controls the left headphones and
the right knob controls the right
headphones.
SRCE (Source): Press this
button to switch between the radio
(AM/FM), XM™ (if equipped),
CD, and if the vehicle has these
features, DVD, front auxiliary, and
rear auxiliary.

to LOCK/OFF. On vehicles with
an automatic transmission, the
shift lever must be in P (Park) to
turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 9‑51.
The steering can bind with the
wheels turned off center. If this
happens, move the steering wheel
from right to left while turning the
key to ACC/ACCESSORY. If this
doesn't work, then the vehicle needs
service.
Notice: Using a tool to force the
key to turn in the ignition could
cause damage to the switch or
break the key. Use the correct
key, make sure it is all the way in,
and turn it only with your hand.
If the key cannot be turned by
hand, see your dealer. B (ACC/ACCESSORY):
This
position lets things like the radio
and the windshield wipers operate
while the engine is off. Use this
position if the vehicle must be
pushed or towed.
C (ON/RUN): This position can
be used to operate the electrical
accessories and to display some
instrument panel cluster warning
and indicator lights. The switch
stays in this position when the
engine is running. The transmission
is also unlocked in this position on
automatic transmission vehicles.
If you leave the key in the ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position
with the engine off, the battery could
be drained. You may not be able to
start the vehicle if the battery is
allowed to drain for an extended
period of time. D (START):
This is the position that
starts the engine. When the engine
starts, release the key. The ignition
switch returns to ON/RUN for
driving.
A warning tone will sound when
the driver door is opened and the
ignition is in ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF, and the key is in the
ignition.

Driving and Operating 9-59
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically
when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse). A single tone sounds
to indicate the system is working.
URPA operates only at speeds less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeps are
continuous.
To be detected, objects must be at
least 25.4 cm (10 in) off the ground
and below liftgate level. Objects
must also be within 2.5 m (8 ft) from
the rear bumper. This distance may
be less during warmer or humid
weather.
The system can be disabled by
pressing the rear park aid disable
button located next to the radio.
The indicator light will come on and
PARK ASSIST OFF displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) to
indicate that URPA is off, seeObject
Detection System Messages on
page 5‑42.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate
due to a temporary condition, the
messages PARK ASSIST OFF
or PARK ASST BLOCKED SEE
OWNERS MANUAL will be
displayed on the DIC.
SERVICE PARK ASSIST: If this
message occurs, take the vehicle to
your dealer to repair the system. PARK ASSIST OFF:
This message
occurs if the driver disables the
system.
PARK ASST BLOCKED SEE
OWNERS MANUAL: This
message can occur under the
following conditions:
.The ultrasonic sensors are not
clean. Keep the vehicle's rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow,
ice and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see “Washing the
Vehicle” underExterior Care on
page 10‑98.
.The park assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice. Frost or
ice can form around and behind
the sensors and may not always
be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold
weather. The message may not
clear until the frost or ice has
melted.

Look at the silver-colored band
inside the fuse. If the band is broken
or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure
you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the
road and don't have a spare fuse,
you can borrow one that has the
same amperage. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without–like the radio
or cigarette lighter –and use its
fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.Engine Compartment
Fuse Block
The Engine Compartment Fuse
Block is located in the engine
compartment, on the driver side of
the vehicle. Lift the cover for access
to the fuse/relay block.
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see
the hybrid supplement for more
information. Notice:
Spilling liquid on any
electrical component on the
vehicle may damage it. Always
keep the covers on any electrical
component.
To remove fuses, hold the end of
the fuse between your thumb and
index finger and pull straight out.
