Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on
the front of the DVD console. The RCA jacks allow you to
connect audio and video from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit to your RSE system
just as you would to a standard television. Standard RCA
cables are needed to connect the auxiliary device to the
RCA jacks. The yellow connector inputs video and the
red and white connectors input right and left stereo audio.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper
connection of your auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded RCA
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the
RSE system power on. If the RSE system had been

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the audio sources: radio, cassette tapes, CDs, or
DVDs, depending on your vehicles options. However,
the rear seat passengers can only control the music
sources that the front seat passengers are not listening
to. For example, rear seat passengers may listen to
a cassette tape through headphones while the driver
listens to the radio through the front speakers. The rear
seat passengers have control of the volume for each
set of headphones. The front seat audio controls always
override the RSA controls.

The following functions are controlled by the RSA
system buttons:

Your Driving, the Road, and
Your Vehicle
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive
defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device in your
vehicle: Buckle up. See
Safety Belts: They Are for
Everyone on page 1-10.
Defensive driving really means ªbe ready for anything.º
On city streets, rural roads or freeways, it means
ªalways expect the unexpected.º
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to
be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what
they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of
accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough following
distance. It is the best defensive driving maneuver, in
both city and rural driving. You never know when
the vehicle in front of you is going to brake or turn
suddenly.
Defensive driving requires that a driver concentrate on
the driving task. Anything that distracts from the driving
task Ð such as concentrating on a cellular telephone call,
reading, or reaching for something on the ¯oor Ð makesproper defensive driving more difficult and can even
cause a collision, with resulting injury. Ask a passenger to
help do things like this, or pull off the road in a safe place
to do them yourself. These simple defensive driving
techniques could save your life.
Drunken Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is
a national tragedy. It is the number one contributor
to the highway death toll, claiming thousands of victims
every year.
Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a
vehicle:
·Judgment
·Muscular Coordination
·Vision
·Attentiveness.
Police records show that almost half of all motor
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,
these deaths are the result of someone who was
drinking and driving. In recent years, more than
16,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been
associated with the use of alcohol, with more than
300,000 people injured.
