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.
277

Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen,
next to the auxiliary jacks, near the driver of
the vehicle. 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. The driver will then be able to gain the
attention of the rear seat passengers. Press this
button again to restore normal operation of
the DVD player and remote control.
This button may also be used to turn the DVD
player power on and automatically resume play if
the vehicle is in an enabled power mode.
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.The DVD system is designed to be inoperable when
the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect the system from
damage. Operate the DVD system under normal or
comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
The wireless 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.
278

To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control.
You can listen to the RSE system through the
wired headphone jacks on the Rear Seat Audio
(RSA) system, if equipped when the following
occurs:
The RSA system is on
A DVD or auxiliary device is playing
RSE is displayed on the front audio system by
pressing the TAPE/CD button on the RSA
system
SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) on page 293for more
information.
If the front seat passengers are listening to the
RSE system through the vehicle’s speakers
and the rear seat passengers are using the wired
headphones to listen to the RSA system, the
BAND button will not access XM™ Satellite Radio
Service.
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.If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or
DVD play, there may be 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.
Both sets of rear seat headphones may include
foam ear pads that can be replaced.
Foam ear pads on these headphones may
become worn or damaged. The headphone foam
ear pads can become damaged if they are not
handled or stored properly. If the foam ear pads do
become damaged or worn out, the pads can be
replaced separately from the headphone set.
It is not necessary to replace the complete
headphone set.
The headphone replacement foam ear pads can
be ordered in pairs. See your dealer for more
information.
279

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment
door located on the left side of the headphone
earpiece.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the
compartment. Make sure that they are
installed correctly using the diagram on the
inside of the battery compartment.
3. Tighten the screw on the battery
compartment door.
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 DVD console. The RCA jacks allow
audio and video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video
game unit to the RSE. The yellow RCA jack is
used for video inputs, the red RCA jack for right
audio inputs, and the white RCA jack for left audio
inputs. The system requires standard RCA
cables, not included, to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the
front of the RSE player.
If a disc is present when the RSE power is turned
on, the player will automatically begin playing
the disc and the user will need to press the SRCE
button on the remote control or on the DVD
player faceplate to switch the system between the
DVD player and the auxiliary device. See “DVD
Player” and “Remote Control” later in this section
for more information.
