During dual play, the rear vehicle speakers will be deactivated and the
wired headphones (if equipped) will become active. Two different medias

• The driver can select a media from the main radio face (radio, tape,

CD or DVD if equipped) and listen using the front speakers.

• Rear seat passengers may listen to a different media source than the

front passengers (radio, tape, CD or DVD if equipped) using 3.5 mm
wired headphones (not included) that shall be plugged into the
headphone icon jacks on the rear audio control face. Infrared
headphones are included in vehicles equipped with the Family
Entertainment System and shall only be used to listed to the media
(DVD or CD) that is playing in the Family Entertainment System.
Wireless headphones will not play audio from any other sources
(AM, FM, tape, or Radio CD).

The front and rear seat passengers cannot listen to two different radio
stations at the same time.

RADIO FREQUENCIES

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
