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 (RSE)
System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicle’s audio system. The DVD player is part of the
front radio. The RSE system includes a radio with
a DVD player, a video display screen, and if your
vehicle has a third row seat, it could have a second
video display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. SeeRadio(s)
on page 3-70for more information on the vehicle’s
audio/DVD system.
Driver Control of the Audio System
The driver has basic control of the whole audio system.
Press and hold the
O(power) knob for more than
two seconds to turn off the radio, RSE (rear seat
entertainment), and the RSA (rear seat audio).
SeeRadio(s) on page 3-70for more information.
If your vehicle has the navigation system, see the
Navigation System manual for more information.
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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system might not work until the temperature is within
the operating range. The operating range for the
RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of your vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until
the temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.

For optimal audio performance, the headphones must
be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left) appears on
the upper left side, above the ear pad and should be
positioned on the left ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the upper right side, above the ear pad and should
be positioned on the right ear.
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.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set. See your
dealer/retailer for more information.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones, do the
following:
1. Turn the screw to loosen the battery door located
on the left side of the headphones. Slide the
battery door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly, using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the oor console.
The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a camcorder
or a video game unit to the RSE system. Adapter
connectors or cables (not included) may be required to
connect the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) is
for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the left audio
input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
