Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System (Overhead)
The vehicle may have an Overhead DVD Rear SeatEntertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system workswith the vehicle's audio system. The DVD player is partof the front radio. The RSE system includes a radio witha DVD player, a video display screen, and if the vehiclehas a third row seat, it could have a second videodisplay screen, audio/video jacks, two wirelessheadphones, and a remote control. SeeNavigationAudio Systemon page 5!60for more information onthe vehicle's audio/DVD system.

Driver Control of the Audio System
The driver has basic control of the whole audio system.
Press and holdOfor more than two seconds to turn off
the radio, RSE, and the RSA (rear seat audio). SeeNavigation Audio Systemon page 5!60for moreinformation.
Before Driving
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only. Thedriver cannot safely view the video screen while drivingand should not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSEsystem might not work until the temperature is withinthe operating range. The operating range for the RSEsystem is above!4°F (!20°C) or below 140°F (60°C).If the temperature of the vehicle is outside of this range,heat or cool the vehicle until the temperature is withinthe operating range of the RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphonesthat are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 isdedicated to the DVD player, while Channel 2 isdedicated to RSA selections. These headphones areused to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,DVDAs, radio, any auxiliary source connected toA/V jacks, or the auxiliary input jack, if the vehiclehas this feature. The wireless headphones have anOn/Off button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volumecontrol.
If the vehicle has a third row video screen display,it has two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones. Anindicator light located on the headphones comes on.If the light comes on but, there is intermittent soundand/or static on the headphones, or if the indicator lightdoes not come on, the batteries might need to bereplaced. See“Battery Replacement”later in thissection for more information. Switch the headphones toOff when not in use.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floorconsole. The A/V jacks allow audio or video signals tobe connected from an auxiliary device such as acamcorder or a video game unit to the RSE system.Adapter connectors or cables (not included) maybe required to connect the auxiliary device to theA/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructionsfor proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical homeentertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A) isfor the video input. The white jack (B) is for the leftaudio input. The red jack (C) is for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the radiosystem.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connectan external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V jacksand turn both the auxiliary device and the video screenpower on. If the video screen is in the DVD playermode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on theremote control switches the video screen from the DVDplayer mode to the auxiliary device. The radio plays theaudio of the connected auxiliary device by sourcing toauxiliary. SeeNavigation Audio Systemon page 5!60for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audiodevice's volume to the loudest level. Higher levels ofvolume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio devicethrough its own battery while playing.
