Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle could 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
If your vehicle has a navigation radio system, it
could have the Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. For more information on how to
use the RSE system, see “Rear Seat
Entertainment System” in the Navigation System
manual.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature lets rear seat passengers listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio, CDs,
DVDs, or other auxiliary sources. However, the
rear seat passengers can only control the
music sources the front seat passengers are not
listening to (except on some radios where
dual control is allowed). For example, rear seat
passengers can control a CD and listen to it
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.
You can operate the Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
functions even when the main radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If your vehicle has this feature, audio can also
be heard on Channel 2 of the wireless
headphones.
Depending on the audio system, the rear speakers
can continue to play even when the RSA audio
is active through the headphones.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur
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 boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduces 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 the radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals
reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
