Listening to a DVD
Your vehicle may have a Rear Seat Entertainment
System. If your vehicle has this system and a DVD is
playing, the DVD symbol will appear on the radio display
indicating that the DVD is available and can be
listened through your vehicles speakers. To listen to the
DVD, press the CD AUX button until RSE appears on
the radio display. The current source will stop and
the DVD sound will come through the speakers. To stop
listening to the DVD press the CD AUX button, if a
CD is loaded, or press the BAND button to select
a different source.
When the RSE system is turned off, the radio will
display RSE OFF and the radio will return to the last
radio source that you were listening to.
Navigation/Radio System
If your vehicle has the navigation system, the display
screen is located in the center of the instrument panel.Navigation/Radio Display and Controls
3-112

The navigation radio system includes digital sound
processing (DSP), Radio Data System (RDS) with
program “type” selections (PTY) that will seek out the
kind of music you want to listen to, and XM™ Satellite
Radio Service capabilities (48 contiguous US States).
The radio system can also communicate with your
navigation system to broadcast announcements
on traffic, weather, and emergency alert
communications. For information on how to use this
system, see the “Navigation System” manual.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
system. The Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) includes a
DVD player, a video display screen, two sets of
cordless headphones, and a remote control.
Before You Drive
The RSE is designed for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.
Your DVD system is designed to be inoperable when
the vehicle is exposed to extremely low or high
temperatures, in order to protect your system from
damage. Operate your DVD system under normal or
comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The entertainment system includes two cordless
headphones.
The cordless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones turn the
switch to ON. An indicator light on the headphones 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.
The transmitters are located below the overhead RSE
control panel. The headphones will shut off automatically
to save the battery power if the DVD system is shut
off, or if the headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes. If you move
too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones will lose the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the cordless headphones, use
the volume control.
