Driver Control of the Audio System The driver has basic control of the whole audio system.
Press and hold
O for more than two seconds to turn off
the radio, RSE, and the RSA (rear seat audio). See
Navigation Audio System on page 5 ‑ 60 for more

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 − 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 within
the operating range of the RSE system. Headphones The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 is
dedicated to the DVD player, while Channel 2 is
dedicated to RSA selections. These headphones are
used to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,
DVDAs, radio, any auxiliary source connected to A/V
jacks, or the auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle has this
feature. The wireless headphones have an On/Off
button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volume control.
If the vehicle has a third row video screen display, it has
two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones. An
indicator light located on the headphones comes on.
If the light comes on but, there is intermittent sound
and/or static on the headphones, or if the indicator light
does not come on, the batteries might need to be

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the floor
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.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V jacks
and turn both the auxiliary device and the video screen
power on. If the video screen is in the DVD player
mode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on the
remote control switches the video screen from the DVD
player mode to the auxiliary device. The radio plays the
audio of the connected auxiliary device by sourcing to
auxiliary. See Navigation Audio System
on page 5 ‑ 60
for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio
device's volume to the loudest level. Higher levels of
volume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.
