Compact Disc Messages
CHECK CD: If this message appears on the radio
display, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
You’re driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the disc should play.
The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or
if an error can’t be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays an
error message, write
it down and provide it to your
dealer when reporting the problem.
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 row seat 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 -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.
3-76

Headphones Battery Replacement
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 Replacement later 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 would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool place.
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.
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. Make sure that they are installed correctly.
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.
3-77

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. See
Remote Control later 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.
Video Screen
The video screen is located in the overhead console
To use the video screen, do the following:
1. Push forward on the release button and the screen
will fold down.
2. Push the screen away from you and adjust its
position as desired.
3-78

When the video screen is not in use, push it up into its
locked position.
The DVD player and display will continue
to operate
when the display is in either the up or the down position.
Notice: Avoid directly touching the video screen,
as damage may occur. See “Cleaning the Video
Screen” in the Index for more information.
DVD Player
The DVD player is located in the overhead console. The
DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on the
DVD player and by the buttons on the remote control.
See
Remote Control later in this section for more
information.
The DVD player works while the ignition is in RUN or
ACCESSORY. The entertainment system is only compatible with
Region
1 DVDs authorized for use in the United States.
Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands
and some islands in the Pacific. On some DVD jackets,
you will see the region displayed. Regular audio CDs
can also be played by the DVD player. The video screen
will default to
off when an audio CD is played. Home
recorded CDs (CDRs) may not play in this DVD player.
