Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
The vehicle may have an DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicle’s audio system. The DVD player is part of the
front radio. The RSE system includes a radio with a DVD
player, a video display screen, audio/video jacks, two
wireless headphones, and a remote control. See
Navigation Audio System on page 4-57for more
information on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
Driver Control of the Audio System
The driver has basic control of the whole audio system.
Press and hold
Ofor more than two seconds to turn
off the radio, RSE, and the RSA (rear seat audio). See
Navigation Audio System on page 4-57for more
information.
Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system might not work until the temperature is within
the operating range. The operating range for the
RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of the vehicle isoutside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 is
dedicated to the DVD player, while Channel 2 is
dedicated to RSA selections. These headphones are
used to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,
DVDAs, radio, any auxiliary source connected to A/V
3-77

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the oor
console. The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals to
be connected from an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.
Adapter connectors or cables (not included) may
be required to connect the auxiliary device to the
A/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) is
for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the left
audio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the video
screen power on. If the video screen is in the DVD
player mode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on the
remote control switches the video screen from the
DVD player mode to the auxiliary device. The radio
plays the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeNavigation Audio System
on page 4-57for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio
device’s volume to the loudest level. Higher levels
of volume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.
