Radio with CD and DVD
The vehicle has one of these radios for its audio system.
Radios with CD and DVD
Radios with CD and DVD have a Bose® Surround Sound System. Some of its features
are explained later in this section under, "Adjusting the Speakers (Balance/Fade)".
If the vehicle has a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system, it has a CD/DVD radio.
See
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
for more information on the vehicle's RSE system.
The DVD player is the top slot on the radio faceplate. The player is capable
of reading the DTS programmed DVD Audio or DVD Video media, (DTS and DTS Digital Surround
are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.).
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and the double-D symbol
are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). The RDS feature is available
for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon
receiving specific information from these stations and only works when the information
is available. While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name or call
letters displays. In rare cases, a radio station could broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.

States and 10 Canadian provinces. XM™ Satellite Radio has a wide variety of
programming and commercial-free music, coast-to-coast, and in digital-quality sound.
During your trial or when you subscribe, you will get unlimited access to XM™
Radio Online for when you are not in the vehicle. A service fee is required to receive
the XM™ service. For more information, contact XM™ at xmradio.com or call

Playing the Radio
(Power/Volume): Press this knob to
turn the system on and off.
Turn this (volume) knob clockwise or counterclockwise

Speed Compensated Volume (SCV) (Radio with Six-Disc CD Player): Radios with Speed Compensated Volume (SCV) automatically adjusts the radio volume
to compensate for road and wind noise as the vehicle speeds up or slows down. The
volume level should be consistent while driving.
To activate SCV:
- Set the radio volume to the desired level.
- Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.
- Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOLUM (automatic volume) label on
the radio displays.
- Press the pushbutton under the desired Speed Compensated Volume setting
(OFF, Low, Med, or High) to select the level of radio volume compensation. The display

audio volume to compensate for faster vehicle speeds.
Noise Compensated Volume (NCV) (Radio with CD and DVD): Radio's
with a Bose® Audio System include Bose AudioPilot® noise compensation technology.
When turned ON, AudioPilot® continuously adjusts the audio system equalization,
to compensate for background noise, so that the music always sounds the same at the
set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio volume
settings where background noise can affect how well the music is heard. At higher
volume settings, where the music is much louder than the background noise, there might
be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot®.
To activate NCV:
- Set the radio volume to the desired level.
- Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.
- Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOLUM label on the radio display.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter
ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
Playing a CD (In Either the DVD or CD Slot)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player pulls it in and
the CD should begin playing (loading a disc into the system, depending on media type
and format ranges from 5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30 seconds
for a DVD to begin playing).
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in the player, it stays in
the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD starts playing where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source. The CD is controlled by the buttons
on the radio faceplate or by the RSA unit. See
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
for more information. The DVD/CD decks, (upper slot is the
DVD deck and the lower slot is the CD deck) of the radio are compatible with most
audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3s.

side of the radio display. As each new track starts to play, the track number displays.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter
ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
Care of Your CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced due to CD-R or CD-RW quality,
the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s)
in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and
dust. The CD or DVD player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD does not play properly
or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole
and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make
sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD or DVD player. If
a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, try labeling
the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating
the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD and DVD player mechanism.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted
into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the
CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in
good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and
the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see "CD Messages" later in this section.

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has an auxiliary input jack located on the lower right side
of the faceplate. This is not an audio output; do not plug the headphone set into
the front auxiliary input jack. An external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD player, or cassette tape player, etc. can be connected to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another audio source.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is in
PARK (P). See
Defensive Driving
for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) cable to the radio's
front auxiliary input jack. When a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX button
to begin playing audio from the device over the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio device's volume to the
loudest level.
It is always best to power the portable audio device through its own battery
while playing.
(Power/Volume): Turn this knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume of the portable player. Additional
volume adjustments might have to be made from the portable device if the volume is
not loud or soft enough.
BAND: Press to listen to the radio when a portable audio device
is playing. The portable audio device also continues to play.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press this button to play a CD when a
portable audio device is playing. Press this button again and the system begins playing
audio from the connected portable audio player. If a portable audio player is not
connected, "No Input Device Found" displays.
DVD/CD AUX (CD/Auxiliary): Press this button to cycle
through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when listening to the radio. The DVD/CD text label and
a message showing track or chapter number displays when a disc is in either slot.
Press this button again and the system automatically searches for an auxiliary input
device, such as a portable audio player. If a portable audio player is not connected, "No
Aux Input Device" displays. If a disc is in both the DVD slot and the CD slot
the DVD/CD AUX button cycles between the two sources and not indicate "No Aux
Input Device". If a front auxiliary device is connected, the DVD/CD AUX
button cycles through all available options, such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front Auxiliary,
and Rear Auxiliary (if available). See "Using the Auxiliary Input Jack(s)"
later in this section, or "Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks" under,
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
for more information.
