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

external auxiliary device connected
to the A/V jacks. The headphones
are used to listen to various
multi-media. The wireless

The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system is shut off
or if the headphones are out of

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,
