Order of Play
Play begins from the first track
under the root directory. When all
tracks from the root directory have
been played, play continues from
files according to their numerical
listing. After playing the last track
from the last folder, play begins
again at the first track of the first
folder or root directory.
When play enters a new folder, the
display does not automatically show
the new folder name. The new track
name appears on the display.
File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the
ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the
radio displays the file name without
the extension (such as .mp3) as the
track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or four pages are
shortened. The display does notshow parts of words on the last
page of text and the extension of
the filename does not display.
Playing an MP3
While playing a CD, the navigation
system is available.
When you insert a CD, the CD
tab displays. If a DSP setting is
selected for the CD, it will be
activated each time you play a CD.
If you turn off the ignition or radio
with a CD in the player, it stays in
the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD starts
playing where it stopped, if it was
the last selected audio source.
As each new track starts to play,
the track number appears on the
display.
If an error appears on the display,
see
“CD/DVD Messages” in this
section. If viewing a map screen, press the

Rear Seat
Infotainment
Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System (Overhead)
The vehicle may have an
Overhead 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 the vehicle has a third row
seat, it could have a second video
display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a
remote control. SeeCD/DVD Player
on page 7‑18 for more information
on the vehicle's DVD system.
Before Driving
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 −20°C (−4°F) or below
60°C (140°F). If the temperature of
the vehicle is outside this range,
heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating
range of the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a
Parental Control feature, depending
on which radio the vehicle has. To
start Parental Control, press and
hold the radio power button for more than two seconds to stop all system
features such as: radio, video
screen, Rear Seat Audio (RSA),
DVD, and/or CD. While Parental
Control is on, a padlock icon
displays.
The radio can be turned back on
with a single press of the power
button, but the RSE system will
remain under Parental Control.
To turn Parental Control off, press
and hold the radio power button for
more than two seconds. The RSE
returns from where it was previously
left and the padlock icon disappears
from the radio display.
Parental Control can also be turned
off by inserting or ejecting any disc,
pressing the play icon on the radio
DVD display menu, or changing an
ignition position.
