Rear Seat Audio (RSA) System Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat passengers to listen to and control any of the music sources: radio, CD, DVD, or other auxiliary sources. The rear seat passengers can control the same music sources the front seat passengers are listening to (dual control) or a different source. For example, rear seat passengers can listen to and control a CD through the headphones, while the driver listens to the radio through the speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of the volume for each set of headphones.

The radio functionality is controlled by both the RSA and the front radio, only one band can be tuned to at one time. Changing the band on the RSA or the front radio will change band on the other system. RSA functions can be operated even when the main radio is off. Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If the vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones. The audio system allows the rear speakers to continue playing even when the RSA audio is active through the headphones. To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the auxiliary input (if available), located below the RSA.

Turn the iPod on, then choose the auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button. An iPod® or portable audio device can be connected to the front auxiliary jack or the USB port.

P (Power): Press the P button to turn RSA on and off. Volume: Turn this knob to increase or to decrease the volume of the wired headphones. The left knob controls the left headphones and the right knob controls the right headphones.

information such as street names, street address, turn restrictions, etc. A detailed area includes all major highways, service roads, and residential roads. The detailed areas include points of interest (POI) such as: restaurants, airports, banks, hospitals, police stations, gas stations, tourist attractions, historical monuments, etc. The map database may not include data for newly constructed areas or map database corrections that are completed after the production of the compact flash drive. The navigation system provides full route guidance in the detailed map areas. Limited Guidance Areas Any area that is not classified as detailed, is a limited guidance area. Limited guidance streets are displayed on the map but route guidance may not be given on these streets. Some POI categories, such as the city center POI category, and some street addresses are included in the limited guidance areas.

The navigation system informs through voice prompts when you are traveling into a limited guidance area where route guidance is not available. The street maps and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation system can then be used to determine the remaining route to your destination. Map Adjustments The system lets you adjust the scale of view on the map. Also, as you drive, the map scrolls automatically based on the direction of travel. Map Scales + / − (Zoom In/Zoom Out): Press the zoom in or out screen buttons or the scale on the bar to change the level of map detail.
