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
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE
system includes a radio with a DVD player, a video
display screen, audio/video jacks, two wireless
headphones, and a remote control. SeeRadio with
CD and DVD on page 239for more information
on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system may or may not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The operating range
for the RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of your vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until
the temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.
Parental Control
The Rear Seat Entertainment System may have a
Parental Control feature, depending on which
radio you have. The Parental Control feature will
turn off the video screen and disable all button
operations from the remote control. This feature
can also be used to gain the attention of the
rear passengers that are using headphones.
274

To enable Parental Control press and hold the
radio power button for more than 2 seconds. If on,
the radio and video screen will turn off. If a
DVD and/or CD is playing, it will be stopped.
A “padlock” icon or a text message may be
displayed on the radio display depending on which
radio you have, while Parental Control is on.
The radio can be turned back on with a single
press of the power button and used normally, but
the RSE system will remain in Parental Control.
To turn off Parental Control, press and hold
the radio power button for more than 2 seconds.
The video screen will return to the state they were
in before Parental Control was turned on. The
“padlock” icon will disappear from the radio
display.
Parental Control can also be turned off by inserting
or ejecting any disc, an ignition cycle, or pressing
the “play” icon on the radio DVD display menu.Headphones
The RSE includes two sets of wireless
headphones that are only dedicated to this
system. These headphones are used to listen to
the DVD radio or an auxiliary device connected to
the RCA jacks. The wireless headphones have
an ON/OFF switch and a volume control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON.
An indicator light located on the headphones
will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more
information. Switch the headphones to OFF when
not in use.
The infrared transmitters are located in the display
below the video screen. The headphones will
shut off automatically to save the battery power if
the RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. If you move too far
forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones
will lose the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
275

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the oor
console. The A/V jacks allow audio or video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Adapter connectors or cables
may be required to connect the auxiliary device to
the A/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper usage.The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack is (C) for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power on. If the
video screen is in the DVD player mode, pressing
the AUX button on the remote control will
switch the video screen from the DVD player
mode to the auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio with CD and
DVD on page 239for more information.

feature.
The RSE system will always transmit the audio
signal to the wireless headphones, if there is audio
available. See “Headphones” earlier in this
section for more information.
When a device is connected to the radio’s auxiliary
input jack, if your vehicle has this feature, or A/V
jacks, the rear seat passengers will be able to hear
audio from the auxiliary device through the wireless
or wired headphones. The front seat passengers
will be able to listen to playback from this device
through the vehicle speakers by selecting AUX as
the source on the radio.
