Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle may have accessory power outlets. With
the accessory power outlets, you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
The ®rst outlet is located to the right of the cigarette
lighter on the instrument panel. The second outlet
is located on the rear of the center console.
Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet.
Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adaptor fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on the accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have this feature. The ashtray is
removable and ®ts into the front cupholder.
Notice:If you put papers or other ¯ammable items
in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking

ashtray.
To remove the ashtray, pull the covered bin out of the
cupholder.
To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let go.
When it's ready, it will pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is
heating will not allow the lighter to back away from
the heating element when it is hot. Damage from
overheating may occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle ± like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio ± be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle's engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it ®rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
®nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See

of the music that has been recorded and the way
the CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in ®nding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.

Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the optional Digital Versatile Disc
(DVD) entertainment system. The entertainment
system includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of IR (Infrared) wireless headphones, a
remote control and an instructional video disc.
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 temperature conditions your
entertainment system should not be operated until the
temperature is within the operating range. This will keep
your video components from being damaged when
the temperature is below-4ÉF (-20ÉC) or above
140ÉF (60ÉC). 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 two IR wireless
headphones.
Mini-headphone jacks are also provided for use with
customer provided headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light will illuminate. If the light
does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be
replaced. See
Battery Replacementlater in this section
for more information. Switch the headphones to OFF
when not in use.
If the system is shut off, or if the headphones are out of
range of the IR transmitters below the overhead RSE
control panel for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
batteries. If you move too far forward or step out of the
vehicle, the headphones will cut out.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control.
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.

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the compartment.
Make sure that they are installed correctly.
3. Tighten the screws to close the compartment door.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period
of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
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
two customer provided wired headphones.To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs on the RSE,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the front of the
RSE player. If a disc is not present in the player, the
auxiliary signal will immediately be displayed on
the RSE. If a disc is present when the RSE power is
turned on, the player will automatically begin playing the
disc and the user will need to press the AUX button
on the remote control to display and/or hear the auxiliary
input signals. Each press of the AUX button on the
remote control will switch the system between disc and
auxiliary input. The wired headphone volume control
will only operate when the DVD player power is turned
on and it controls both wired headphone jacks at
the same time. SeeRemote Controllater in this section
for more information.
Audio Speakers
Audio from the DVD player can only be heard either
through the IR headphones or wired headphones
(not included). The sound will not come through the
vehicle's speakers.
