Power Liftgate (If Equipped)
WARNING:Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with
the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air
comes into the vehicle.
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open
or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could
result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the
liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.
If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the
liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate
may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed
before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be
damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.
When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the
liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the
maximum open position.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.
The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle inP. The chime will beep
once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions
include:
•The ignition is in on and the transmission is not inP.
•The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
•The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).

INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror when your vehicle is
moving.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum or ammonia based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your preference. Some mirrors also
have a second pivot point. This lets you move the mirror head up or
down and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note:Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the mirror.
Mirror performance may be affected. A rear center passenger or raised
rear center head restraint may also block light from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to reduce glare when bright lights are
detected from behind your vehicle. It will automatically return to normal
reflection when you select reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up.
CHILDMINDER MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
On double bin overhead consoles, the conversation mirror allows the
driver to view the rear seating area.
WARNING:Do not use the childminder mirror to view rearward
traffic, do not allow rear passengers to distract you from the
driving task, and make sure the rear view mirror has a clear view of
rearward traffic. Failure to do so could increase the risk of a crash from
an unseen vehicle, which may result in serious injury.
Press the release area on the rear
edge of the bin door to open the
childminder mirror. The door will
open to full open position.
The rear view mirror may have to
be adjusted to its lower arm

Wireless FM Transmitter
Your device may be equipped with an external FM transmitter, which
allows you to listen to the audio signal by tuning your vehicle’s FM radio
to the selected frequency and turning SOUND AROUND on with the
remote. Whenever the SOUND AROUND is on, broadcast radio reception
may be poor. Performance varies based on geographic location. Turning
SOUND AROUND off allows normal radio reception.
How to use the FM Transmitter
Power up your system and place a disc in monitor “A”. While pointing
your remote at the monitor press the “DVD A” button directly under the
red “POWER” button on your remote control. Next press the “Sound
Around ON/ OFF” button to turn FM transmission on or off as desired.
Three buttons to right is the “Sound Around SELECT” button which
cycles through six possible stations (88.3, 88.7, 89.1, 89.5, 89.9, and
90.3MHz) for broadcasting audio to your radio. Once you’ve selected a
frequency, you must then tune your radio to the corresponding
frequency. Try each station frequency until you achieve a clear audio
signal.

Remote Control
Note:The remote control incorporates an infrared sensor that relays
signals from the remote control to be controlled simply by pointing its
remote control at the remote sensor eye. This provides control of auxiliary
equipment such as a video DVD player. The infrared sensor cannot relay
signals from any other manufacturer’s remote control to its respective
component connected to the AUX input, such as a DVD player. In this
case, you must use the remote control supplied with the device.
Installing the Battery
Before attempting to operate your remote control, install the batteries as
follows:
1. Turn the remote control face down. Press down on the ridged area of
the battery cover and slide it off.
2. Install two AAA batteries. Make sure that proper polarity (+ or -) is
observed.
3. Slide the cover back until it clicks.
Note:Always make sure that the batteries are inserted with the positive
and negative terminals in the correct direction as shown in the battery
compartment.
Note:Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not
mix different types.
Note:Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can
shorten battery life and/or cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
Note:When batteries fail to function, replace them immediately.
Note:Keep the batteries out of the reach of children. Should the
batteries be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor. Also, when
disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations
or environmental public institution rules that apply in your country/area.
Note:Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for a month
or longer.
