The RSE system will include a remote control
(batteries are included). To use the remote control,

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

Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones (batteries may be included with
the headphone sets).
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF
switch, a channel select switch, and a volume
control. To use the headphones, turn the ON/OFF
switch to ON. An indicator light on the headphones
will come on. If the light does not come on, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this section for more
information. 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 off
or if the headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes.
The transmitters are located next to the DVD
faceplate. If you move too far forward or step out
of the vehicle, the headphones will lose the
audio signal.
DVD and auxiliary audio will always be found on
channel (CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones.
RSA audio is dedicated to CHB or CH2 of the
wireless headphones.To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control located on the headphones.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD,
MP3, 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 that the headphone
batteries are fully charged. Some amount of
hissing is normal.
Both sets of rear seat headphones may include
foam ear pads that can be replaced.
Foam ear pads on these headphones may become
worn or damaged. The headphone foam ear pads
can become damaged if they are not handled or
stored properly. If the foam ear pads do become
damaged or worn out, the 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.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen
on the DVD console. The RCA jacks allow audio
and video signals to be connected from an auxiliary
device such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE. The yellow RCA jack is used for video
input, the red RCA jack for right audio inputs, and
the white RCA jack for left audio inputs. The system
requires standard RCA cables, not included, to
connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. Refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs,
connect an external auxiliary device such as a
camcorder to the RCA jacks and turn on both the
auxiliary device power and the power on the
front of the RSE player.
If a disc is present when the RSE power is turned
on, the player may automatically begin playing
the disc. Press the AUX button on the remote
control or the DVD AUX button on the DVD player
faceplate to switch the system between the
DVD player and the auxiliary device. See “DVD
Player” and “Remote Control” later in this section
for more information.

Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic devices
are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
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.

So here are some tips for passing:
Drive ahead. Look down the road, to the
sides, and to crossroads for situations
that might affect your passing patterns. If you
have any doubt whatsoever about making
a successful pass, wait for a better time.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings,
and lines. If you can see a sign up ahead
that might indicate a turn or an intersection,
delay your pass. A broken center line
usually indicates it is all right to pass, providing
the road ahead is clear. Never cross a solid
line on your side of the lane or a double solid
line, even if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
Do not get too close to the vehicle you want
to pass while you are awaiting an opportunity.
For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area of vision, especially if you are
following a larger vehicle. Also, you will not
have adequate space if the vehicle ahead
suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a
reasonable distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming
up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane
and do not get too close. Time your move so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes
to move into the other lane. If the way is clear to
pass, you will have a running start that more
than makes up for the distance you would lose
by dropping back. And if something happens to
cause you to cancel your pass, you need only
slow down and drop back again and wait for
another opportunity.
If other vehicles are lined up to pass a slow
vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that
someone is not trying to pass you as you pull
out to pass the slow vehicle. Remember to
glance over your shoulder and check the
blind spot.
Check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and start your left lane change signal
before moving out of the right lane to pass.
When you are far enough ahead of the passed
vehicle to see its front in your vehicle’s inside
mirror, activate the right lane change signal and
move back into the right lane. Remember that
your vehicle’s passenger side outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem
to be farther away from you than it really is.

Driving in Rain and on Wet RoadsRain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On
a wet road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or
turn as well because your tire-to-road traction is
not as good as on dry roads. And, if your tires do
not have much tread left, you will get even less
traction. It is always wise to go slower and
be cautious if rain starts to fall while you are
driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when
your reexes are tuned for driving on dry
pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even
if your windshield wiper blades are in good
shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see
road signs and traffic signals, pavement markings,
the edge of the road, and even people walking.

City Driving
One of the biggest problems with city streets is
the amount of traffic on them. You will want
to watch out for what the other drivers are doing
and pay attention to traffic signals.Here are ways to increase your safety in city
driving:
Know the best way to get to where you are
going. Get a city map and plan your trip
into an unknown part of the city just as you
would for a cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross
most large cities. You will save time and
energy. SeeFreeway Driving on page 369.
Treat a green light as a warning signal. A
traffic light is there because the corner is
busy enough to need it. When a light turns
green, and just before you start to move,
check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be running the
red light.
