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
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, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. SeeRadio with

The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack is for the video input. The white jack is for
the left audio input. The red jack is for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen
to and control any of the music sources: radio,
CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources. The
rear seat passengers can control the same music
sources the front seat passengers are listening
to (dual control) or a different source. For example,
rear seat passengers can listen to and control a
CD through the headphones, while the driver
listens to the radio through the speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the volume for
each set of headphones.
You can operate the RSA functions even when
the main radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also
be heard on Channel 2 of the wireless
headphones.
The audio system allows the rear speakers to
continue playing even when the RSA audio
is active through the headphones.

Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in
a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens
of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
Rear Side Window Antenna
Your AM-FM antenna is located in the passenger
rear side window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the rear side window is not scratched
and that the lines on the glass are not damaged.
If the inside surfaces are damaged, they could
interfere with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside of the rear side windows
may affect radio reception or damage the
antenna. Repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear
side windows with sharp objects.
Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic lm. The metallic lm in some
tinting materials will interfere with or distort
the incoming radio reception. Any damage
caused to your antenna due to metallic tinting
materials will not be covered by your
warranty.
Because this antenna is built into your rear side
window, there is a reduced risk of damage caused
by car washes and vandals.
