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
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
works with the vehicle’s audio system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio. The RSE
system includes a radio with a DVD player,
a video display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a remote
control. SeeRadio with CD and DVD (MP3)
on page 301for more information on the
vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
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.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a Parental Control
feature, depending on which radio you have.
The Parental Control feature turns off the video
screen and Rear Seat Audio (RSA). This feature
also disables all button operations from the
remote control and all audio button operations
from the RSA. This feature can be used to gain
the attention of the rear passengers that are
using headphones.
334

To enable Parental Control, press and hold the
radio power button for more than two seconds.
If on, the radio, video screen, and RSA turns off.
If a DVD and/or CD is playing, it stops. While
Parental Control is on, either a padlock icon or
a text message comes on, depending on the
radio. When the radio is turned back on, the
RSE system remains in Parental Control.
To turn off Parental Control, press and hold the
radio power button for more than two seconds.
The video screen and RSA returns to the
state they were in before Parental Control was
turned on and if the padlock icon is on the
display, it disappears.
Parental Control is also turned off by inserting
or ejecting a disc, by pressing the play icon
on the radio DVD display menu, or when the
ignition is turned off.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, any auxiliary
source connected to A/V jacks, or the auxiliary
input jack, if your vehicle has this feature. The
wireless headphones have an On/Off button,
channel 1/2 switch, and a volume control.
335

If your vehicle has a third row video screen
display, it has two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones comes
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. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen, while Channel 2
is dedicated to RSA selections.
Infrared transmitters are located at the rear of
the RSE overhead console. The headphones
shut off automatically to save the battery power if
the RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes. If you move too
far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turns off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use
the volume control located on the right side.For optimal audio performance, the headphones
must be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left)
appears on the upper left side, above the ear pad
and should be positioned on the left ear. The
symbol R (Right) appears on the upper right side,
above the ear pad and should be positioned on
the right ear.
If the remote control becomes lost or damaged,
a new universal remote control can be purchased.
If this happens, make sure the universal remote
control uses a code set of Toshiba
®.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat
or direct sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will not be covered
by your warranty. Keep the headphones stored
in a cool, dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be
replaced separately from the headphone set
through your dealer for more information.
