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
Your vehicle may have the Digital Versatile Disc (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.
3-87

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones:
1. Loosen the screw to the battery door on the left
side of the headphones and slide open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Install 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.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen.
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. Standard RCA
cables, not included, are needed to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector inputs
video and the red and white connectors input right and
left audio. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
proper connection of the auxiliary device.To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded RCA jacks
and turn both the auxiliary device and the RSE system
power on. If the RSE system had been previously in the
DVD player mode, pressing the SRCE button on the
faceplate or the remote control switches the RSE system
between the auxiliary device and the DVD player.
How to Change the Video Format when in
the Auxiliary Mode
The auxiliary input video format is preset to NTSC.
In some countries, the video format may be in the
PAL system. To change the video format, perform
the following:
1. Press the
zdisplay menu button.
2. Press the down
qnavigation arrow to highlight the
Video Format option.
3. Press the
rbutton to select Video Format.
4. Press the left

5. Press the
rbutton to accept the change.
3-89

Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the transmitter
window below the video screen and press the desired
button. Direct sunlight or very bright light can affect
the ability of the RSE system to receive signals from
the remote control. If the remote control does not seem
to be working, the batteries may need to be replaced.
See “Battery Replacement” later in this section.
Objects blocking the line of sight can also affect the
function of the remote control.
Notice:Storing the remote control in a hot area or
in direct sunlight can damage it, and the repairs will
not be covered by your warranty. Storage in extreme
cold can weaken the batteries. Keep the remote
control stored in a cool, dry place.

Section 7 Customer Assistance Information

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access this data or share it with others
except: with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the
vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee; in
response to an official request of police or similar
government office; as part of GM’s defense of litigation
through the discovery process; or, as required by
law. Data that GM collects or receives may also be used
for GM research needs or may be made available to
others for research purposes, where a need is shown
and the data is not tied to a specic vehicle or
vehicle owner.
OnStar®
If your vehicle has OnStar and you subscribe to the
OnStar services, please refer to the OnStar Terms and
Conditions for information on data collection and
use. See alsoOnStar
®System on page 2-48in this
manual for more information.
Navigation System
If your vehicle has a navigation system, use of the
system may result in the storage of destinations,
addresses, telephone numbers, and other trip
information. Refer to the navigation system operating
manual for information on stored data and for deletion
instructions.
Radio Frequency
Identication (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions
such as tire pressure monitoring and ignition system
security, as well as in connection with conveniences
such as key fobs for remote door locking/unlocking and
starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door
openers. RFID technology in GM vehicles does not use
or record personal information or link with any other
GM system containing personal information.
