Parental Control
The Rear Seat Entertainment System may have a
Parental Control feature, depending on which

Headphones
The RSE includes two sets of wireless
headphones that are only dedicated to this

the DVD radio or an auxiliary device connected to
the RCA jacks. The wireless headphones have
an ON/OFF switch and a volume control.
To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON.
An indicator light located on the headphones
will illuminate. If the light does not illuminate, 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 infrared transmitters are located in the
display below the video screen. The headphones
will 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 will lose the audio signal.
