Using your rear seat audio system: some
basics
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 audio
system.
This section describes some of the basic features of the Lexus
audio 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.
Your audio system works when the ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “ON” position.
You can enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with
commercial headphone. See “Headphone input jacks” on
page 269 for details.
You can also enjoy the rear seat entertainment system with a
wireless headphone. The wireless headphone can be used
within rear seat. If the signal becomes weak, the headphone
will mute. For details, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
With some wireless headphone generally available in the
market, it may be difficult to catch sound properly. Lexus
recommends the use of Lexus genuine wireless headphone.
You can purchase a wireless headphone at a Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
 Do not operate a motor vehicle while using
headphones. Doing so may cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
 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.
