Infotainment System 25
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). 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.
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. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
SiriusXM®Satellite Radio
Service
SiriusXM 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 SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.

Infrared transmitters are on the top
of the left seatback video screen.
The headphones shut off to save
battery power if RSE is shut off or if
the headphones are out of range for
more than three minutes. Being too

signal or have static.
The headphones turn off after four
hours of continuous use. To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control.
Wear the headphones correctly, with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception. The
L (Left) and R (Right) symbols are
on the outside bottom edge of the
ear cup and should be worn
appropriately.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not
be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool, dry
place.
If the headphone foam ear pads
become worn or damaged, they
can be replaced separately. To
purchase replacement ear pads,

Only the left RSE seatback console
contains the infrared transmitters for
the wireless headphones and may

These LEDs are not on the right
video screen. Both seatback
consoles contain an infrared
receiver for the remote control. They
are at the top of each console.
Notice: Avoid directly touching
the video screen, as damage may
occur. See “Cleaning the Video
Screens” later in this section for
more information.
Video Screen Input Jack
Each video screen has a video input
jack to allow video cables to be
connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video
game system. This signal will override any video provided by the
RSE. The RSE system must be on
for this input to operate.
Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at
the transmitter window at either
seatback console and press the
power button. Direct sunlight or very
bright light could affect the ability of
the RSE transmitter to receive
signals from the remote control.
Check the batteries if the remote
control does not seem to be
working. See
“Battery Replacement”
later in this section. Objects
blocking the line of sight could also
affect the function of the remote
control.
If a CD, DVD, or MP3 disc is in the
Radio DVD slot, the remote control
Obutton can be used to turn on the
video screen display and start the
disc. The infotainment system can
also turn on the video screen
display. See CD Player on page 36.
Use the infotainment system to turn
the video screen display on.
Notice: Storing the remote
control in a hot area or in direct
sunlight can damage it, and the

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, and
map data.
At times, other interference such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, condition of the
vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can affect the navigation system's
ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites. When the
vehicle is not receiving signals from
the satellites, a symbol appears on
the map screen. See Navigation
Symbols on page 59.

For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Problems with Route Guidance on

speed.
.The vehicle changes directions
more than once, or the vehicle is
turning on a turn table in a
parking lot.

exiting a parking lot, garage, or a
lot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.

incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use
after the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery is
disconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is
stopped and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can
occur under one or more of the
following conditions:

road indicated.
.Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
