events will cause the screen(s) to automatically switch
to DVD mode. These events are:
 Loading a disc in the DVD player (if so equipped),
 Pressing the PLAY button on the DVD player face- plate when the disc is stopped or paused, or

the rear occupant area.(fig. 115) When connecting an external source to the AUX
input, be sure to follow the standard color coding for
the VES™ jacks:

Then navigate to VES AUX1 or VES AUX2 mode in
the Select Mode screen.
 To exit out of AUX mode, use the MODE button on the remote control to navigate out of AUX mode.

from your radio. This condition may be lessened or
eliminated by relocating the mobile phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that
the radio volume be turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.ADDING FUEL

WARNING!
 N
o objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel, because any such objects could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the air bag to inflate.
 Do not put anything on or around the air bag
covers or attempt to open them manually. You
may damage the air bags and you could be
injured because the air bags may no longer be
functional. The protective covers for the air bag
cushions are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
 Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
 Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc . Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB)
SAB may provide enhanced protection to help protect
an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked
with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the
front seats. (fig. 135)
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between
the front and side of the seat's trim cover. Each air bag
deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the
left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the
right air bag only.
