RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones. Channel 1
is dedicated to the DVD player,
and Channel 2 is dedicated to
RSA selections. The headphones
are used to listen to various
multi‐media. If the vehicle is not
equipped with RSA, then channel 2
is dedicated to any external auxiliary
device connected to the rear A/V
jacks. The wireless headphones
have an On/Off button, channel 1
or 2 switch, and a volume control.
Turn the headphones off when not
in use.
Push the On/Off button to turn
on the headphones. A light on
the headphones comes on. If the
light does not come on, check the
batteries. Intermittent sound or static

See“Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information. Infrared transmitters are on the
top of the left seatback video
screen. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA
are shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. Moving too
far forward or stepping out of the
vehicle can cause the headphones
to lose the signal or have static.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control.
For best audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly,
with the headband over the top of
the head. L (Left) and R (Right)
are above the ear pads and
are indicators as to how the
headphones should be placed
on the head.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage
the headphones and repairs will
not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to
the headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set.
To purchase replacement ear pads,
call 1‐888‐293‐3332, then prompt
zero (0), or contact your dealer.
