two seconds to turn off the radio, RSE (rear seat
entertainment) video screen, and RSA (rear
seat audio).
n(Volume):Turn this knob to increase or to

will change to the auxiliary source, if your vehicle
has this feature, or stay on the radio.
Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC):Your
vehicle has a Bose
®audio system. It includes Bose
AudioPilot®noise compensation technology. When
turned on, AudioPilot®continuously adjusts the
audio system equalization, to compensate for
background noise, so that your music always
sounds the same at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio volume
settings where background noise can affect how
well you hear the music being played through your
vehicle’s audio system. At higher volume settings,
where the music is much louder than the
background noise, there may be little or no
adjustments by AudioPilot
®.

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.

Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The

the audio system off, the driver can press and
hold the power knob for more than two seconds to

Navigation System manual for more information.
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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system may or may not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The operating range
for the RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of your vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until
the temperature is within the operating range of
the RSE system.
Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless
headphones that are dedicated to this system.
These headphones are used to listen to media
such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s, DVDAs, radio, or any
auxiliary source connected to the auxiliary input
jack, if your vehicle has this feature or A/V
jacks. The wireless headphones have a power
On/Off button, channel selector switch (1 or 2), and
a volume control.
If your vehicle has a third row video screen
display, it will have two additional headphones.
