{CAUTION:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide
the protection needed in a crash. The person

routed and attached, and are not twisted.

seatback up until you hear a click. Then pull on the
seatback to make sure it is secure.
Rear Sliding Seat (MAXX Only)
If your vehicle is the MAXX model your rear seat will
slide forward or rearward to allow more cargo space in
the rear.
Lift the bar located under the front of the seat to unlock
the seat. Slide the seat to where you want it and
release the bar. Try to move the seat back and forth
to be sure the seat is locked in place.
If your vehicle has the rear seat entertainment system,
slide the rear seat up so that the front edge of the
seat cushion is lined up with the mark on the carpet
retainer trim on the oor of the driver’s side rear seat.
If the rear seat is up past the mark, you will not be able
to open the DVD screen.

player, a video display screen, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
This system also functions as a rear seat audio (RSA)

The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen

the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate the DVD system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF button and a
volume control. To use the headphones press, the
ON/OFF button. An indicator light on the headphones will
illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries
may need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”

to turn the headphones OFF when not in use.
If the RSE system is shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters, located at the top of

headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power. If you move too far forward or step out
of the vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
