The following instructions are for the rear passengers.
Please let the rear passengers read and follow the
instructions when the rear passengers use the rear seat
entertainment system.
This section describes some of the basic features of the rear
seat entertainment system. Some information may not pertain
to your system.
Your audio system adjusts to the optimum volume and tone
quality automatically. While the system is adjusting the audio
sound, the audio sound fades out and then fades in.
The rear seat entertainment system is designed for the rear
passengers to enjoy audio and DVD video separately from the

The rear seat entertainment system can be operated when the
ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position.
The rear passengers can enjoy all modes (AM and FM radio,

on the rear seat entertainment system only if a cassette tape
and a CD are loaded in the front audio system. The rear seat entertainment system can play DVD video, audio
CD, video CD, CD text, dts±CD or DVD audio only when a disc
is loaded in the DVD player.
You can enjoy videos and sound when your personal audio
system is connected to the input terminal adapter on the rear
console box. For details, refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
You can enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with
commercial headphone. See ªHeadphone input jacksº on
page 380 for details.
You can also enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with a
wireless headphone. The wireless headphone can be used

will mute. For details, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not drive with using the headphone. Otherwise,
you may be hard to hear the sound from the outside
while using the headphone and may cause an
accident.
With DVD player:
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at
a low volume to emphasize the impact of sound
effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the
conversations represent the maximum volume level
that the DVD will play, you may be startled by louder
sound effects or when you change to a different
audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this
in mind.
Make sure the volume is not increased, before you
turn on the headphone.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the audio system on longer than necessary whenthe engine is not running.
