Delayed Headlamps
The delayed headlamps feature will continue to
illuminate the headlamps for 20 seconds after the
key is turned to off at night. Then the headlamps
will automatically turn off.

feature while it is active turn the switch at the
end of the turn signal/multifunction lever to
the off/on position.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it
easier for others to see the front of your vehicle
during the day. DRL can be helpful in many
different driving conditions, but they can be
especially helpful in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.The DRL system will turn your low-beam
headlamps on at a reduced brightness when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is turned to
AUTO. In addition, Canadian vehicles
DRL will also turn on if you have turned
on the parking lamps.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
See the end of this section for more
information on the light sensor.
The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
While the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights
will not be illuminated.
The DRL system will be off any time your
vehicle is in PARK (P). The DRL system on
U.S. vehicles can also be turned off by using
the off/on switch for one ignition cycle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a
remote control.
This system also functions as a rear seat
audio (RSA) system. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA)
(Without Entertainment System) on page 278
orRear Seat Audio (RSA) (With Entertainment
System) on page 280for more information.
Parental Control
The RSE system may be disabled from the
driver’s seat by pressing the power button on the
radio twice. To resume use of the RSE system
press the RSE power button.
Before You Drive
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.The DVD system is designed to be inoperable
when 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 illuminate. If the light does
not illuminate, the batteries might need to be
replaced. See “Battery Replacement” later in this
section for more information. Press the button
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 the DVD player, for more than
three minutes, the headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery power.
If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located on the DVD faceplate
on the oor console. The RCA jacks allow
audio and video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video
game unit to the RSE system. The yellow RCA
jack is used for video inputs, the red RCA jack
for right audio inputs, and the white RCA jack
for left audio inputs. The system requires
standard RCA cables, not included, to connect
the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both
the auxiliary device power and the power on the
front of the RSE system. Press the play and
source buttons at the same time or the AUX button
on the remote control to switch to the auxiliary
device. See “DVD Player” and “Remote Control”
later in this section for more information.
Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices
can be heard through the following possible
sources:
Wireless Headphones
Vehicle’s Speakers
Wired Headphones (not included)
Only one audio source can be heard through
the vehicles speakers at a time.
The RSE system or an auxiliary device can
be heard through all of the vehicles speakers
when the following occurs:
The RSE system is off
A DVD or auxiliary device is playing
The front audio system is on and the SRCE
button is pressed to enable the RSE system
The headphone symbol appears on the radio
display when the RSE system is on and the
headphone symbol disappears from the
display when it is off.
263

To turn the vehicles rear speakers on and off,
press the power button on the RSE system or
on the remote control. When the rear speakers
are off, the audio from the RSE system can
be heard through both the wireless headphones
and the vehicles front speakers at the same time.
The RSE system can be heard through the
wired headphones, not included, on the RSE
system when the following occurs:
The RSE system is on
A DVD or auxiliary device is playing
The volume on the radio can vary when
switching between a radio station, CD, DVD,
or auxiliary device.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD
or DVD play, there can be a low hissing noise
through the speakers and/or headphones.
If the hissing sound in the wireless headphones
seems excessive, make sure that the headphone
batteries are fully charged. Some amount of
hissing is normal.
Video Screen
The video screen is located on the back of the
oor console. Open the video screen by rotating
the screen up and adjust its position as desired.
The video screen may not be able to be moved up
if the rear seat is too far forward. See “Rear Sliding
Seat (MAXX Only)” underRear Seat Operation
on page 17for more information.
When the video screen is not in use, push it down
into its stored position.
The DVD player and display continues to operate
when the video screen is in either the up or
down positions.
The window on the RSE system contains the
transmitter for the wireless headphones and the
remote control. If the screen is in the closed
position, the signals are not available for the
operation of the headphones or the remote control.
Notice:Avoid directly touching the video
screen, as damage may occur. See “Cleaning
the Video Screen” later in this section for
more information.
