Entertainment System (Option)
Your vehicle may have an optional Digital Video Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment system
works with the vehicle's audio system and includes a
DVD player, a video display screen, headphones and a
remote control. The entertainment system also integrates
the rear climate control and rear seat audio functions.
Before You Drive
The video entertainment system is for passengers in the
second and third row seats only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while driving and should
not try to do so.
In severe or extreme weather conditions your
entertainment system will shut down until the
temperature is within the operating range. This
protection feature will keep your video components
from being damaged while the temperature is below
-4
F (-20
C) or above 140
F (60
C). To resume
operation, shut off the entertainment system, pull down
the video screen and then heat or cool the vehicle until
the temperature is within the operating range.
Headphones
The entertainment
system includes four
dual channel, wireless
headphones. The
headphones have an

and a volume control.
To use the headphones turn the switch located on the left
side to ON. An indicator light located on the right side
will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See ªBattery
Replacementº later in this section for more information.
Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
If you move too far forward, step out of the vehicle or
break the ªline of sightº between the headphones and
the display above the video screen, the sound in the
headphones will be degraded or will cut out entirely. If the
system is shut off, or the headphones are out of the ªline
of sightº for more than three minutes, the headphones will
shut off automatically to preserve battery life.

headphones will play the rear seat audio system. See
ªRear Seat Audio (Vehicles with the Entertainment
System)º in the Index for more information.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.

sunlight. This could damage the headphones and
would not be covered by your warranty. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool place.
