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.

If your vehicle has a navigation radio system, it
could have the Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. For more information on how to

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

Depending on the audio system, the rear speakers
can continue to play even when the RSA audio
is active through the headphones.
