Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may 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 on page 235for 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.
269

Parental Control
The Rear Seat Entertainment System may have a
Parental Control feature, depending on which
radio you have. The Parental Control feature will
turn off the video screen and disable all button
operations from the remote control. This feature
can also be used to gain the attention of the
rear passengers that are using headphones.
To enable Parental Control press and hold the
radio power button for more than 2 seconds.
If on, the radio and video screen will turn off.
If a DVD and/or CD is playing, it will be stopped.
A “padlock” icon or a text message may be
displayed on the radio display depending on which
radio you have, while Parental Control is on.
The radio can be turned back on with a single
press of the power button and used normally, but
the RSE system will remain in Parental Control.
To turn off Parental Control, press and hold the
radio power button for more than 2 seconds.
The video screen will return to the state they were
in before Parental Control was turned on. The
“padlock” icon will disappear from the radio display.
Parental Control can also be turned off by inserting
or ejecting any disc, an ignition cycle, or pressing
the “play” icon on the radio DVD display menu.
Headphones
The RSE includes two sets of wireless
headphones that are only dedicated to this
system. These headphones are used to listen to
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.
270

To adjust the volume on the headphones, use the
volume control located on the right side.
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.
The foam ear pads attached to the headphones
may become worn or damaged if they are
not handled or stored properly. If the foam ear
pads do become damaged or worn out, the pads
can be replaced separately from the headphone
set. It is not necessary to replace the complete
headphone set. The headphone replacement
foam ear pads can be ordered in pairs. See
your dealer for more information.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver to
loosen, then slide open the battery door
located on the left side of the headphones.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the
compartment. Make sure that they are
installed correctly, using the diagram on the
inside of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the
door screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep
them in a cool, dry place.
271

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the oor
console. The A/V jacks allow audio or video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Adapter connectors or cables
may be required to connect the auxiliary device
to the A/V jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper usage.The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The white jack (B)
is for the left audio input. The red jack is (C) for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power on. If the
video screen is in the DVD player mode, pressing
the AUX button on the remote control will
switch the video screen from the DVD player
mode to the auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio with CD and
DVD on page 235for more information.
