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.

Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
277

Cleaning the Video Screen
When cleaning the video screen, use only a clean
cloth dampened with clean water. Use care
when directly touching or cleaning the screen, as
damage may result.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen
to any of the sources: radio, cassette tapes, or
CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only
control the sources that the front seat passengers
are not listening to. For example, rear seat
passengers may listen to and control cassette
tapes or CDs through the headphones while the
driver listens to the radio through the front
speakers. The rear seat passengers have control
of the volume for each set of headphones.
The front seat audio controls always have priority
over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch the source for the main radio to
a remote source, the RSA will not be able to
control the source. You can operate the rear seat
audio when the main radio is off.If your vehicle has the Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system and the system is on, the rear seat
passengers can listen to the DVDs through the
wired headphone jacks on the RSA system.
The RSE system cannot be controlled with the
RSA system.
If the front seat passengers are listening to the
RSE system through the vehicle’s speakers
and the rear seat passengers are using the wired
headphones to listen to the RSA system, the
BAND button will not access XM™ Satellite Radio
Service.
Primary Radio Controls
The following function is controlled by the main
radio:
PWR (Power):Push this knob twice to turn
RSA off.
