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.

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.
