Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
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.
260

Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen.
Press this button while a DVD or CD is playing to
freeze the video and mute the audio. The video
screen will display Parental Control ON and the
power indicator light on the DVD player will ash. It
will also disable all other button operations from the
remote control and the DVD player, with the
exception of the eject button. Press this button
again to restore operation of the DVD player.
This button may also be used to turn the DVD
player power on and automatically resume play if
the ignition is in RUN, ACCESSORY, or if RAP
is active.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control.
An indicator light will illuminate on the headphones
when they are on. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” following for more
information.
Each set of headphones has a volume knob.
To adjust the volume, adjust this knob.
The transmitters are located below the video
display screen. The headphones will shut
off automatically if they lose the signal from the
system after about four minutes to save battery
power. The signal may be lost if the system
is turned off or if the headphones are out of range
of the transmitters.
When using the wired headphones, if the front
seat passengers play a CD in the Radio with
Six-Disc CD (if equipped) or use XM™ Satellite
Radio Service (if equipped), you will hear the audio
for these sources, instead of the DVD or CD
that is currently playing through the RSE.
261

The RSE system will always transmit the audio
signal by infrared to the wireless headphones,
if there is audio available. See “Headphones”
previously for more information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the vehicle speakers by using the radio. The
RSE system may be selected as an audio source
on the radio if the RSE system power is on.
Once the RSE system is selected as an audio
source on the radio, adjust the speaker volume on
the radio, if necessary. If the RSE system power
is not on, the RSE system will not be an available
source on the radio. Refer to the radio information
for the radio that your vehicle has for more
information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the wired headphone jacks on the rear seat
audio system (if equipped). The RSE system may
be selected as an audio source on the rear
seat audio system if the RSE system power is on.

seat passengers may listen to and control
cassette tapes, CDs, or DVDs through the
headphones while the driver listens to the radio
through the front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each
set of headphones.
The front seat audio controls always have priority
