includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a

when the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or
high temperatures, in order to protect your system

headphones.

the headphones illuminate. If the light does
not illuminate, the batteries might need to be

If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
