CD Messages
CHECK DISC:If this message displays and/or
the CD comes out, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road.
When the road becomes smoother, the CD
should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an
hour and try again.
There could have been a problem while
burning the CD.
The label could be caught in the CD player.

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 (MP3) on page 322for 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 might 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 could have a Parental Control
feature, depending on the radio. 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.
355

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.
356

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 might 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.
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. Refer
to your dealer for more information.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep them
in a cool, dry place.

Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones, do
the following:
1. Turn the screw with a coin or screw driver to
loosen the battery door located on the left
side of the headphones. Slide the battery
door open.
2. Replace the two 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.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor
console, 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 could 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 (C) is for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
358

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 (auxiliary) button on the remote control
switches 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 (MP3) on page 322for more information.
How to Change the RSE Video Screen
Settings
