for more information on the
vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
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 or
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

console. 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 audio signal.
For optimal audio performance, the

headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone
set. See your dealer/retailer for more
information.
