button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volume control.If the vehicle has a third row video screen display,
it has two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones comes on.

this section for more information. Switch the
headphones to Off when not in use.
The infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE overhead console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery power if the RSE
system and the RSA are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters for more than
3 minutes. If you move too far forward or step out
of the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turn off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use
the volume control located on the right side.
