Playing a CD
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When the ignition
or radio is turned on, the CD will start playing where
it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
When a CD is inserted, the CD symbol will appear on
the CD. As each new track starts to play, the track
number will appear on the display.
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and
the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase
in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in
loading and ejecting. If these problems occur, check
the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the CD
is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD will not play properly. If the surface of the CD is
soiled, seeCare of Your CDs and DVDs on page 3-107
for more information.If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the
CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed, try labeling the top of
the recorded CD with a marking pen instead.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert more
than one CD into the slot at a time, or attempt
to play scratched or damaged CDs, you could
damage the CD player. When using the CD player,
use only CDs in good condition without any

liquids, and debris.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system includes a DVD
player, a video display screen, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
This system also functions as a rear seat audio (RSA)
system. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without

seat by pressing the power button on the radio twice.
To resume use of the RSE system press the RSE
power button.
Before You Drive
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.The DVD system is designed to be inoperable when
the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate the DVD system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF button and a
volume control. To use the headphones press, the
ON/OFF button. An indicator light on the headphones will
illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries
may need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”

out of range of the transmitters, located at the top of
the DVD player, for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power. If you move too far forward or step out
of the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.

To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control on the headphones.
Make sure that the headphones are worn correctly,
left to right, to ensure the signal is received properly.

direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
MAXX vehicles with the RSE system may have a rear
seat storage compartment. Store the headphones and
the remote control in this compartment when not in use.
The MAXX vehicles may also include two sets of
wireless headphones with foam ear pads that can be
replaced.
Foam ear pads on the rear seat headphones may
become worn or damaged. The headphone foam ear
pads can become damaged if they are not handled
or stored properly. If the headphone foam ear pads do
become damaged or worn out, the foam pads can
be replaced separately from the headphone set. It is
not necessary to replace the complete headphone set.The headphone replacement foam ear pads can be
ordered in pairs. See your dealer for more information.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or
DVD play, there may be a low hissing noise through the
speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seems excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. Some
amount of hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement

1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphone earpiece.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly using the

time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.

inputs, the red RCA jack for right audio inputs, and
the white RCA jack for left audio inputs. The system
