Available on U.S. Entertainment Packageand Canadian Elite Package modelsYour vehicle is equipped with a rear
entertainment system that includes a
DVD player for the enjoyment of the
rear passengers.
With this system, the rear
passengers can enjoy a different
entertainment source (radio, disc
changer, DVD player, XM Radio, or
optional CD changer/tape player)
than the front seat occupants. The
audio is broadcast through the
supplied wireless headphones.
The ignition switch must be in the
ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II)
position to operate the rear
entertainment system. To Turn On the System
Press the REAR PWR button. The
indicator on the REAR PWR button

on the FRONT SOURCE button. The
rear seat passengers can then
operate the rear system from the
control panel in the ceiling. The rear
control panel can also be detached
and used as a remote control, by
pushing the RELEASE button, and
pulling the remote toward you.
Pressing the REAR CTRL OFF
button disables rear control. The
indicator in the button comes on and
your passengers can no longer
operate the system with the rear

your passengers know that the
control panel is disabled. The rear system selects the source it
was last set to. If that source has
been removed (the DVD has been
ejected from the player, for example),
you will see
‘‘DVD EJECT ’’in the
display. You should select another
source or insert a DVD.
Rear Speakers
When you turn on the system, the rear
speakers are automatically turned off if
the rear system selects a different
entertainment source than the front
system. You will see the Rear Speakers
Off icon both in the audio display and the
overhead screen. The sound for the rear
system is sent to the wireless
headphones.
If you want to turn the rear speakers on
again, press and hold the REAR PWR
button until the Rear Speakers Off icon
goes off.
NOTE: The rear speakers are connected
to the front system, so they will always
play the source that the front system is
set to.
