player, a video display screen, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
This system also functions as a rear seat audio (RSA)
system. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) (Without

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.The 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 the DVD system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF button and a
volume control. To use the headphones press, the
ON/OFF button. 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. Press the button
to turn the headphones OFF when not in use.
If the RSE system is shut off or if the headphones are
out of range of the transmitters, located at the top of
the DVD player, for more than three minutes, the
headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power. 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 wireless headphones,
use the volume control on the headphones.
Make sure that the headphones are worn correctly,
left to right, to ensure the signal is received properly.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
MAXX vehicles with the RSE system may have a rear
seat storage compartment. Store the headphones and
the remote control in this compartment when not in use.
The MAXX vehicles may also include two sets of
wireless headphones with foam ear pads that can be
replaced.
Foam ear pads on the rear seat headphones may
become worn or damaged. The headphone foam ear
pads can become damaged if they are not handled
or stored properly. If the headphone foam ear pads do
become damaged or worn out, the foam pads can
be replaced separately from the headphone set. It is
not necessary to replace the complete headphone set.The headphone replacement foam ear pads can be
ordered in pairs. See your dealer for more information.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD or
DVD play, there may be a low hissing noise through the
speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seems excessive, make sure

AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations will boost the power
levels during the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things like storms
and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals will
reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception
from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,
and in Canada (if available). Just as with FM, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition,
traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the XM™ signal
for a period of time. The radio may display NO SIGNAL
to indicate interference.
Care of Your CDs and DVDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from direct
sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD will
not play properly or not at all. If the surface of a CD
is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed
with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while handling
it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due
to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
