Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicles audio system and includes a DVD radio, a
video display screen, two sets of wireless headphones,
and a remote control.
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.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones. The 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 transmitters are located in the display above the
video screen. The headphones will shut off automatically
to save the battery power if the DVD system is 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.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

The RCA jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack
(right) is for the video input. The white jack (middle) is
for the left audio input. The red jack (left) is for the right
audio input.
To use the auxiliary function, connect a camcorder or a
video game unit to the RCA jacks and turn on the
auxiliary device. If you want to view a DVD, insert the
DVD into the DVD radio. The system will automatically
switch to DVD and start to play. To switch between
the auxiliary device and the DVD, press the AUX button
on the DVD player or on the remote control. See
“DVD Radio” and “Remote Control” later in this section
for more information.
Audio Output
Only one audio source can be heard through the
speakers at one time.
The only way to listen to the audio through the vehicle
speakers is if the front seat passengers select DVD
Family Mode using the AUX button on the radio. Audio
will still play through the wireless headphones.There are three modes to the RSE system:
RSE:This is the default. When a DVD is inserted, the
rear speakers will be muted. The rear seat passengers
will be able to hear audio through the wireless
headphones. The front seat passengers will be able to
listen to the radio by pressing the AM FM button, or
listen to XM™ Satellite Radio Service (if equipped) or
CD, by pressing the AUX button, through the front
speakers.
DVD Family:When in RSE mode, press the AUX
button to switch to DVD Family. All passengers will be
able to hear audio through the vehicles speakers. Audio
will still be available through the wireless headphones.
DVD Aux:This is the default. When the RCA jacks
are connected, the rear speakers will be muted. The rear
seat passengers will be able to hear audio from the
auxiliary device through the wireless headphones. The
front seat passengers will be able to listen to the
radio by pressing the AM FM button, or listen to XM™
Satellite Radio Service (if equipped) or CD, by pressing
the AUX button, through the front speakers.
