Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the front of the
vehicle that could keep the airbags from
working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle’s
frame, bumper system, front end sheet metal or
height, they may keep the airbag system from
working properly. Also, the airbag system may not
work properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this, you
should contact Customer Assistance before you
modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two
of theCustomer Satisfaction Procedure on
page 7-2.
Restraint System Check
Checking the Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure the safety belt reminder light
and all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors
and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt system parts. If you see
anything that might keep a safety belt system from doing
its job, have it repaired.
Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a
crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt
is torn or frayed, get a new one right away.
Also look for any opened or broken airbag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The airbag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
Notice:If you damage the covering for the driver’s
or the right front passenger’s airbag, the airbag
may not work properly. You may have to replace the
airbag module in the steering wheel or both the
airbag module and the instrument panel for the right
front passenger’s airbag. Do not open or break
the airbag coverings.

of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice:The chime signals related to safety belts,

and/or the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the

There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your GM dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to
your GM dealer when reporting the problem.
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 System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, two head restraint video
display screens, auxiliary inputs, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
Parental Control
Parental control can be maintained through the DVD
rating settings. This function restricts movie viewing for
children of appropriate age levels. See “Rating”
under Displaying DVD Player Default Settings, later in
this section.
3-88

Before You Drive
The RSE system will play DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You
can also connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system
to play games, watch videos, view photos, etc.
Notice:Normal operation for the RSE system may
be limited under extreme temperatures. Using
the RSE system during extreme temperatures may
cause damage to the system. Wait until the inside of
the vehicle is at a safe temperature range of
32°-140°F (0°-60°C) before using the system.
Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones. Each headphone will have an L marked
on the left-side, for the left ear and an R marked on the
right-side, for the right ear. The L and R marks are to
show how the headphones should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power):The wireless headphones have an
OFF/ON power switch located on the left of the
earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch to
ON. An indicator light on the right earpiece of the
headphones will illuminate. If the light does not
illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this section. Switch
the headphones to OFF when not in use.The headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitter window
for more than three minutes. The transmitter window
is located on the bottom edge of the monitor. If
you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle,
the headphones will lose the audio signal.
Channel Selector:The wireless headphones have a
channel selector switch located on the right earpiece.
The channel selector switches between Channel A and
Channel B. Since each monitor has the capability to
function as two independent sources through auxiliary
input, it is necessary to transmit audio signals on
separate channels. The driver’s side monitor is
designated as Channel A, and the passenger’s side as
Channel B. The Headphone channel selector switch
must be set to the appropriate channel according to the
monitor being viewed. When the head restraint
monitor is initially turned on the message, “To listen
to this monitor tune your headphones to channel A
(or B)” will be displayed for ve seconds then disappear.

wireless headphones, use the volume control.
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.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or
DVD play, there may be a soft hissing noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seem excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. A
small amount of hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Press down on the left earpiece and slide the
battery compartment panel down to expose the
battery compartment.2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly using the
diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment panel back and
then down until the panel closes into the
headphone ear piece.
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 headphone jack on the left lower side of the
video screen. Use this jack with universal wired
headphones. To adjust the volume, do the following:
1. Plug the headphone into the corresponding
jack, located on the bottom left of the video screen,
next to the auxiliary jack.
2. Press the up or down arrow buttons on the monitor
to increase or to decrease the volume.

Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can be
heard through the vehicle speakers or the wireless/wired
headphones. The FM Modulator control has to be set
to one of eight frequencies in order for these devices to
be heard through the vehicle’s speakers. See “FM
Modulator Control” later in this section.
Vehicle Speakers
Only one audio source can be heard through the
vehicle’s speakers at a time. The audio source to be
reproduced is specied by the A/V source selected on
the driver’s side head restraint monitor.
The RSE system or an auxiliary device can be heard
through all of the vehicle’s speakers when a DVD
or auxiliary device is playing and the radio is tuned
to one of eight frequencies selected on the FM
Modulator controller.
To turn the RSE system audio output to the vehicle’s
speakers, on or off, press the POWER button on the FM
Modulator Controller. The audio from the RSE system
can be heard through the wireless/wired headphones

the radio, CD, DVD, MP3, or an auxiliary device.
Video Screens
The video screens are located on the backside of each
head restraint.
