Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
(Without Entertainment System)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to
listen to and control any of the sources: radio
and CDs. An audio or radio source can be
listened to but cannot be changed from the
RSE if the front seat passengers have selected
the same source from the front seat controls.
(For example, the radio station selected with
the front seat controls cannot be changed by
the rear seat control(s)).
The front seat audio controls always have
priority over the RSA controls. If the front seat
passengers switch to the same source as the
RSA, the RSA no longer controls the source.You can operate the RSA when the main
radio is off.
You can use wired headphones (not included) or
the wireless headphones. The wired headphones
connect to the outlets on the RSA system.
The rear seat passengers have control of the
volume for each set of wired headphones.
Adjust the volume on the wireless headphones
by turning the volume control on each headset.
