If a disc has a damaged track which
results in audible or visible errors that
persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue play-
ing the disc by skipping forward 1.0
to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end of
the disc is reached, the DVD player
will return to the beginning of the disc
and attempt to play the start of the
first track.
The DVD player may shut down dur-
ing extremely hot conditions, such as
when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 48°C . When this occurs,
the DVD player will display "VES
High Temp" and will shut off the
VES™ displays until a safe tempera-
ture is reached. This shutdown is nec-
essary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.Display

Rating and Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings
work together to control the types of
DVDs that your family watches. Most
DVD-Video discs have a rating (from
1 to 8) assigned to them where lower
numbers are designated for all audi-
ences and higher numbers are desig-
nated for more adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its
rating is compared to the setting in the
DVD player. If the rating of the disc is
higher than the setting in the player, a
Password screen is displayed. In order
to watch the disc, the rear passenger must enter the correct password using
the password entry method described
below.
To play all discs without requiring a
password, set the DVD player’s rating
to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to
play any DVD disc. Not all DVD discs
encode a Rating, so it is still possible
that discs designed for adult audi-
ences can still play without requiring
a password.
The default rating is Level 8 (play all
discs without a password) and the
default password is 0000.
To set the password, activate the DVD
Setup Menu and follow these addi-
tional instructions:
Using the remote control Left and
Right cursor buttons, select the
Rating tab.
Highlight "Change Password", and then press the remote control’s EN-
TER button.
Enter the current password. Select a digit, use the remote control Up
and Down cursor buttons to set the
value for the current digit, and then
press the remote control’s Right
cursor button to select the next
digit. Repeat this digit selection se-
quence for all four digits.
After the four-digit password is en- tered, press the remote control’s
ENTER button. If the password is
correct, the set password screen is
displayed.
Using the remote control’s Up and
Down cursor buttons to set the value
for the current digit and the remote
control’s Right cursor button to se-
lect digits, enter the new password.

phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows
you to regulate the temperature,
amount, and direction of air circulat-
ing throughout the vehicle. The con-
trols are located on the instrument
