CD Messages
CHECK CD:If this message appears on the display
and/or the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
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 cannot be
corrected, contact your GM dealer. If the radio displays
an error message, write it down and provide it to
your GM dealer when reporting the problem.
Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features intended to
minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no
matter how advanced, can never replace your own
judgment. See the navigation system manual for some
tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, two head restraint video
display screens, auxiliary inputs, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
Parental Control
Parental control can be maintained through the DVD
rating settings. This function restricts movie viewing for
children of appropriate age levels. See “Rating”
under Displaying DVD Player Default Settings, later in
this section.
3-88
Before You Drive
The RSE system will play DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You
can also connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system
to play games, watch videos, view photos, etc.
Notice:Normal operation for the RSE system may
be limited under extreme temperatures. Using
the RSE system during extreme temperatures may
cause damage to the system. Wait until the inside of
the vehicle is at a safe temperature range of
32°-140°F (0°-60°C) before using the system.
Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones. Each headphone will have an L marked
on the left-side, for the left ear and an R marked on the
right-side, for the right ear. The L and R marks are to
show how the headphones should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power):The wireless headphones have an
OFF/ON power switch located on the left of the
earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch to
ON. An indicator light on the right earpiece of the
headphones will illuminate. If the light does not
illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this section. Switch
the headphones to OFF when not in use.The headphones will shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitter window
for more than three minutes. The transmitter window
is located on the bottom edge of the monitor. If
you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle,
the headphones will lose the audio signal.
Channel Selector:The wireless headphones have a
channel selector switch located on the right earpiece.
The channel selector switches between Channel A and
Channel B. Since each monitor has the capability to
function as two independent sources through auxiliary
input, it is necessary to transmit audio signals on
separate channels. The driver’s side monitor is
designated as Channel A, and the passenger’s side as
Channel B. The Headphone channel selector switch
must be set to the appropriate channel according to the
monitor being viewed. When the head restraint
monitor is initially turned on the message, “To listen
to this monitor tune your headphones to channel A
(or B)” will be displayed for ve seconds then disappear.
3-89
AUX (Auxiliary):The monitor-mounted auxiliary input
jack is an AV 2 input jack. This auxiliary input jack allows
viewing of auxiliary sources such as portable DVD
units, game stations, video cameras, etc., on each
individual monitor. The sources connected to these
inputs cannot be shared between the monitors.
Press the SOURCE button on either monitor, or the
SEL button on the system remote control to select the
desired auxiliary source. See “SOURCE” under
Video Screens earlier in this section.
X(Wired Headphone Jack):This type of headphone
jack is used with universal wired headphones. The
wired headphone volume is adjusted using the up and
down arrow buttons. See “Wired Headphones” earlier in
this section.
Infrared Remote Sensor:The infrared remote sensor
receives light signals from the system’s remote
control. This type of sensor works as a line-of-sight
signal as the transmitted signals are received. In order
for the sensor to work properly, it must remain
unobstructed at all times.
DVD Player
The DVD player is located in the center console.
The DVD player can be controlled by the buttons on the
DVD player or by the buttons on the remote control.
See “Remote Control” later in this section for more
information.
The RSE system DVD player is only compatible with
DVDs of the appropriate region code for the country
where the vehicle was sold. The DVD region code is
printed on the jacket of most DVDs.
DVDs, Standard audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, enhanced
CDs, video CDs, and CD-ROM with MP3 media are
supported by this DVD player. DVD+R, DVD+RW, and
copy protected CDs may or may not be supported by the
DVD player. The DVD player does not support
DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-R/W, and DVD
audio media. An error message will appear on the display
if this type of media is inserted into the DVD player.
If an error message appears on the video screen, see
“DVD Messages” later in this section.

Press the eject button on the DVD player faceplate, to
eject the disc. As the disc is ejected, the display on

If a disc is ejected from the player, but not removed, the
disc will not reload until it is pushed back into the
player. Another way to reload a disc that has been
ejected, but not removed from the DVD player, is
to either press the eject button or the PLAY button. The
DVD player will automatically reload the disc and
display Close on the video screen.
Remote Control
The system’s remote control combines the control of all
monitor and DVD player functions. To use the remote
control, aim at the remote sensor located on the
upper right side of the monitor and press the desired
button on the remote control. The remote works
best when held at a comfortable distance from the
monitors.
Direct sunlight or very bright light may affect the ability
of the transmitter to receive signals from the remote
control. If the remote control does not seem to be
working, the batteries may need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this section. Objects
blocking the line-of-sight will affect the function of the
remote control.
Notice:Storing the remote control in a hot area or
in direct sunlight may damage it, and the repairs
will not be covered by your warranty. Keep the
remote control stored in a cool, dry place.
