Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features intended
to minimize driver distraction. Technology alone,
no matter how advanced, can never replace your
own judgment. See the Navigation System manual for
some tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
Vehicles with a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system
have a DVD player, a video display screen, auxiliary
inputs, two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
Parental Control
rj
(Parental Control):This button is located behind
the video screen, next to the auxiliary jacks. Press this
button while using rear seat audio (RSA) to make the
video screen go blank and to mute the audio while a DVD
or CD is playing. The power indicator lights on the DVD
player ash. Turning on the parental control also disables
all other button operations from the remote control andthe DVD player, except for the eject button. Press this
button again to restore operation of the RSA, DVD player,
and remote control.
This button can also be used to turn the DVD player
power on and to automatically resume play of a disc that
is in the player while the ignition is on. If no disc is in the
player, the system powers up with no display on the LCD
screen.
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.
Normal operation could be limited under extremely low
or high temperatures, in order to protect the system
from damage. Operate the RSE system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
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.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones (batteries may be included with the
headphone sets).
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch, a
channel select switch, and a volume control. To use the
headphones, turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. An indicator
light on the headphones come on. If the light does not
come on, the batteries might need to be replaced.
See “Battery Replacement” later in this section for
more information. Switch the headphones to OFF
when not in use.
The headphones shut off automatically to save
the battery power if the RSE system is off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. The transmitters are located
next to the DVD faceplate. If the person using the
headphones moves too far forward or steps out of
the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
DVD and auxiliary audio are always found on channel
(CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. RSA audio is
dedicated to CHB or CH2 of the wireless headphones.
To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control located on the headphones.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or
DVD play, there could be a low hissing noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound inthe wireless headphones seems excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. Some
amount of hissing is normal.
Both sets of rear seat headphones could include foam
ear pads that can be replaced.
These foam ear pads can become worn or damaged
if they are not handled or stored properly. They can
be replaced separately from the headphone set.
See your dealer/retailer for more information.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones, do the
following:
1. Turn the screw to loosen the battery door located
on the left side of the headphones. Slide the
battery door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly, using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door
screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.

Wired Headphones
There is a right and left wired headphone jack.
To adjust the volume, do the following:
1. Plug the headphone into the corresponding jack,
located behind the video screen, next to the
auxiliary jacks.
2. Press the headphone volume control button until
Wired Headset Volume displays and the Left wired
headphone is highlighted for selection. Press the
volume control button again to select the Right
volume control.
Another way to select either the Left or Right
Wired Headset Volume is to press the up or
down arrows on the DVD faceplate.
3. Press the right and left arrow buttons on the DVD
faceplate to increase or to decrease the volume.
Press the headphone volume control button again or
wait for a few seconds until the screen disappears.
The wired headphones work as follows:
DVD on / RSA off: The wired headphones plays
RSE audio.
DVD off / RSA on: The wired headphones plays
RSA audio.
DVD on / RSA on: The wired headphones plays
RSA audio.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on
the DVD 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. The yellow
RCA jack is used for video input, the red RCA jack for
right audio input, and the white RCA jack for left audio
input. 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.

Page 265 of 476

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 player.
If a disc is present when the RSE power is turned on,
the player automatically begins playing the disc. Press
the AUX button on the remote control or the DVD AUX
button on the DVD player faceplate to switch the system
between the DVD player and the auxiliary device. See
“DVD Player” and “Remote Control” later in this section
for more information.

heard through the following sources:
Wireless Headphones

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Vehicles with a rear seat audio (RSA) system allows
rear seat passengers to listen to and control any of
the following audio sources: AM/FM tuner, front
CD player, and XM™ Satellite Radio Service
(if equipped). However, the rear seat passengers can
only control the sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers
can listen to a CD in the front radio and control it
while the driver listens to the radio through the front
speakers. The rear seat passengers have control of
the volume for each set of headphones.
The front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch
the source for the main radio to a remote source,
the RSA is not able to control the remote source.
You can operate the RSA when the main radio is off.
The DVD or auxiliary device are always be available on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. All
other RSA sources are available on channel (CHB or
CH2) of the wireless headphones, as well as the wired
headphones. If the RSA is off, the wired headphones
provide DVD or auxiliary device audio. The rear seat
passengers are not able to listen to XM™, on channel
(CHB or CH2), if the front passenger is listening to a
DVD or auxiliary device.
The remote control does not operate any of the RSA
features.RSA SRC (Rear Seat Audio Source):Press this
button to turn on the RSA system. Press this button
to switch between playing the AM, FM1, FM2, XM1™
or XM2™ Satellite Radio Service (if equipped), or
the front CD player. If one of the sources is not loaded,
the system skips over the source when this button is
pressed. Hold this button down to turn off RSA.
