Page 253 of 486
The navigation radio system includes digital sound
processing (DSP), Radio Data System (RDS) with
program “type” selections (PTY) that will seek out the
kind of music you want to listen to, and XM™ Satellite
Radio Service capabilities (48 contiguous US States).
The radio system can also communicate with your
navigation system to broadcast announcements
on traffic, weather, and emergency alert
communications. For information on how to use this
system, see the “Navigation System” manual.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
system. The Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) includes a
DVD player, a video display screen, two sets of
cordless 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.
Your DVD system is designed to be inoperable when
the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate your DVD system under normal or
comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The entertainment system includes two cordless
headphones.
The cordless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light 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 transmitters are located below the overhead RSE
control panel. 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 cordless headphones, use
the volume control.

Audio Speakers
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can be
heard through the following possible sources:
Wireless Headphones
Vehicle’s Speakers
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) Jacks (if equipped). Plug
the wired headphones (not included) into the
jacks on the RSA system.
Only one audio source can be heard through the
vehicles speakers at a time.
You can listen to the entertainment system or an
auxiliary device through all of the vehicles speakers
when the following occurs:
The RSA system (if equipped) is off
A DVD or auxiliary device is playing
The front audio system is on and either the CD, the
CD TAPE, or the CD AUX button is pressed to
enable the entertainment system.The front audio system will display RSE when the
entertainment system is on and RSE OFF when it is off.
To turn the vehicles speakers on and off, press either
the CD, the CD TAPE, or the CD AUX button on
the front audio system. The audio from the
entertainment system can be heard through both the
wireless headphones and the vehicles speakers at the
same time.
The volume on the audio system may vary when
switching between a radio station, CD, DVD, cassette,
or auxiliary device.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or DVD
play, you may hear a low “hissing” noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seems excessive, make
sure that the headphone batteries are fully charged.
Some amount of hissing is normal.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to and
control any of the music sources: radio, cassette tapes,
and CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the music sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
may listen to a cassette tape or CD through 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.
Thefront seat audio controls always have priority over the
RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch the
source for the main radio to a remote source, the RSA will
play the same remote source. The rear speakers will be
muted when the RSA power is turned on. You may
operate the RSA functions even when the main radio
is off.If your vehicle has the rear seat entertainment (RSE)
system and the system is on, the rear seat passengers
can listen to the DVDs through the wired headphone
jacks on the RSA system. The RSE system cannot be
controlled with the RSA system.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the knob on the
main radio:
PWR (Power):Push this knob twice to turn RSA off.
