Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the front or
sides of the vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle’s
frame, bumper system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system
from working properly. Also, the airbag system may
not work properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this,
you should contact Customer Assistance before
you modify your vehicle. The phone numbers
and addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure
in this manual. SeeCustomer Satisfaction
Procedure on page 7-2.
Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get my
vehicle modied. How can I nd out whether
this will affect my airbag system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the front seats,
safety belts, the airbag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel, instrument panel,
ceiling headliner, ceiling and pillar garnish trim,
roof-mounted airbag modules, or airbag wiring
can affect the operation of the airbag system.
If you have questions, call Customer Assistance.
The phone numbers and addresses for Customer
Assistance are in Step Two of the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure in this manual. See

on page 4-3.
Here are some ways in which you can help avoid
distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make
sure that it can be added by checking with your
retailer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile
radio and telephone units. If sound equipment
can be added, it is very important to do it properly.Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other
systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s
systems may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.
Notice:The chime signals related to safety belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
operate through the radio/entertainment system.
If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment
is added to your vehicle, the chimes may not
work. Make sure that replacement or additional
equipment is compatible with your vehicle before
installing it. SeeAccessories and Modifications
on page 5-3.
Notice:Getting suntan lotion, hand lotion, or
hand cleaner on the radio, will soften the paint,
and the paint will eventually begin to peel. Repairs
will not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicles audio system and includes a DVD radio, a
video display screen, two sets of wireless headphones,
and a remote control.
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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system may or may 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 your
vehicle is outside 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 sets of wireless headphones that
are only dedicated to this system. These headphones
are used to listen to the DVD radio or an auxiliary device
connected to the RCA jacks. The wireless headphones
have an ON/OFF switch and a volume control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON.
An indicator light located on the headphones will
illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries
may need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”
later in this section for more information. Switch
the headphones to OFF when not in use.
The infrared transmitters are located in the display
below the video screen. The headphones will shut off
automatically to save the battery power if the DVD
system is shut off or if the headphones are out of
range of the transmitters for more than three minutes.
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 headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
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.

compartment.
3. Slide the battery door shut.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on
the overhead console. The RCA 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. Adapter connectors or cables may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
3-69
ProCarManuals.com

The RCA jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack
(right) is for the video input. The white jack (middle)
is for the left audio input. The red jack (left) is for
the right audio input. The red connector must always
be used in order for the DVD system to recognize that
an external source is plugged in. With the radio on,
the screen will automatically switch to the rear auxiliary
input when the red connector cable is inserted.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary function, connect a camcorder or
a video game unit to the RCA jacks and turn on the
auxiliary device. If you want to view a DVD, insert the
DVD into the DVD radio. The system will automatically
switch to DVD and start to play. To switch between the
auxiliary device and the DVD, press the DVD/AUX button
on the DVD player or the SRCE button on the remote
control. See “DVD Radio” and “Remote Control” later
in this section for more information.Audio Output
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time.
Press the power button to turn the radio on. The radio
can be heard through all of the vehicle speakers.
When a DVD is inserted, playback will be heard through
the vehicle speakers and headphones.
Front seat passengers can listen to the radio by
pressing the BAND button to select AM, FM or XM™
(if equipped). The rear seat speakers will be muted
for radio listening, and the DVD will play through the
headphones (RSE Mode).
When RCA jacks are connected, the rear speakers
will be muted. The rear seat passengers will be able
to hear audio from the auxiliary device through the
wireless headphones. The front seat passengers will be
able to listen to the radio through the front speakers,
by pressing the BAND button to select AM, FM, or XM
(if equipped), or listen to a CD that is inserted into
the radio.
If a playback device is plugged into the radio’s auxiliary
input jack, the device can be heard through all of the
vehicle speakers. In RSE mode the playback device
will only be heard through the front speakers.
