This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources, including AM
-FM,
cassette tapes and CDs, through the Rear Seat Audio
(RSA) controller. However, the rear seat passengers can

passengers are not listening to. For example, rear seat
passengers may listen to a cassette tape through
headphones while the driver listens to the radio through
the front speakers. The rear seat passengers have control
of the volume for each set of headphones. Be aware that
the front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. Note that if the front seat passengers
switch the source for the main radio to a remote source,
the RSA will play the same remote source.
