Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new
features. With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and
receive and display messages from radio stations.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information
from these stations. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for
their current programming.

The entertainment system includes two
IR wireless headphones.
Mini
-headphone jacks are also provided for use

of range of the IR transmitters below the overhead
RSE control panel for more than three minutes,

battery. If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will lose the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on both pairs of wired headphones,

3-47 Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks and the mini-headphone jacks are
located behind the video screen on the overhead console.
The RCA jacks allow you to hook up an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit. The yellow
RCA jack is used for video and the red and white RCA
jacks are used for audio. You may require adapter
connectors or cables to connect your auxiliary device to
the RCA jacks. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions
for proper usage. The mini
-headphone jacks allow you
to hook up customer provided wired headphones.
To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,

to the RCA jacks and turn on both the auxiliary device
power and the power on the front of the RSE player.
