If your 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 does not come on, the batteries may
need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”
later in this section for more information. Switch
the headphones to Off when not in use. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen, while Channel 2
is dedicated to RSA selections.
Infrared transmitters are located at the rear of
the RSE overhead console. The headphones
shut off automatically to save the battery power if
the RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes. If you move too
far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turns off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use
the volume control located on the right side.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.
If the remote control becomes lost or damaged,
a new universal remote control can be purchased.
If this happens, make sure the universal remote
control uses a code set of Toshiba
®.
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. 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
through your dealer for more information.

to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow

You can run the engine to keep warm, but be
careful.
{CAUTION:
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your
vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon
monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could
overcome you and kill you. You cannot see
it or smell it, so you might not know it is in
your vehicle. Clear away snow from around
the base of your vehicle, especially any
that is blocking the exhaust pipe. And
check around again from time to time to
be sure snow does not collect there.
Open a window just a little on the side of
the vehicle that is away from the wind.
This will help keep CO out.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This
saves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go
a little faster than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat
that you get and it keeps the battery charged.
You will need a well-charged battery to restart the
vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with
your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.

Level Control
The self-adjusting rear suspension may come
as part of the premium smooth ride suspension
package.
This type of level control will provide a leveled
riding position as well as improved handling
under a variety of passenger and loading
conditions. A hydraulic pump inside each rear
shock absorber raises the rear of the vehicle to
the proper height, based on inputs from the
road surface, while the vehicle is being driven.
It take approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) of driving
for the leveling to complete, depending on the
road surface conditions.
If the loaded vehicle is not moved for
approximately 12 hours, the leveling system
may bleed down to a lower height. This can be
especially apparent if a trailer is left attached to
a parked vehicle for long periods of time. The
vehicle must be driven to re-level the vehicle.
If a weight-distributing hitch is being used, the
vehicle should be driven approximately 2 miles
(3.2 km) with the trailer prior to adjusting the hitch.

is attached to the rear bumper beam. It is located
next to the integrated trailer hitch.The seven-wire harness contains the following
trailer circuits:
Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal

the battery. If the trailer is too light for tow/haul
mode, you can turn on the headlamps as a
second way to boost the vehicle system and
charge the battery.
