Infotainment System 6-19
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on. This
interference can cause an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the
cellular phone and turn it off.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger,
located in the rear window. Make
sure that the inside surface of the
rear window is not scratched and
that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface isdamaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the antenna connector
needs to be properly attached to
the post on the glass.
If a cellular telephone antenna
needs to be attached to the glass,
make sure that the grid lines for the
AM-FM antenna are not damaged.
There is enough space between the
grid lines to attach a cellular
telephone antenna without
interfering with radio reception.
Notice:
Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects. Notice:
Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic film.
The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
your backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Satellite Radio Antenna
For vehicles with XM™ satellite
radio service, the antenna is located
on the roof of the vehicle. Keep the
antenna clear of obstructions for
clear radio reception.

Rear Seat
Infotainment
Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
The vehicle may have a DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
The RSE system works with the
vehicle's infotainment system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio.
The RSE system includes a radio
with a DVD player, two rear seat
video display screens, audio/video
jacks, two wireless headphones,
and a remote control. SeeCD/DVD
Player
on page 6‑22or the
separate navigation system manual
for more information on the vehicle's
DVD system.
Before Driving
The RSE is for rear seat
passengers only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while
driving. In severe or extreme weather
conditions the RSE system may not
work until the temperature is within
the operating range. The operating
range is above
−20°C (−4°F) and
below 60°C (140°F). If the
temperature is outside of this range,
heat or cool the vehicle until it is
within the operating range.
Global Off
Depending on the infotainment
system, the RSE system may have
a Global Off feature. The Global Off
feature disables all RSE system
features. Press and hold the radio
power button for more than
three seconds for Global Off to
disable the RSE features. A padlock
icon may display on the
infotainment screen when the
Global Off feature is on. On some
infotainment systems, the Global Off
feature can be turned off by
performing one of the following:
.Press and hold the radio
power button for more than
three seconds.

external auxiliary device connected
to the A/V jacks. The headphones
are used to listen to various
multi-media. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button,
channel 1/2 switch, and a volume
control. Turn the headphones off
when not in use.

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 is 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.
The headphones automatically turn
off after four hours of
continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control. For best audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly,
