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 294for 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 will turn 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.
321
To enable Parental Control press and hold the
radio power button for more than two seconds.
If on, the radio, video screen, and RSA 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 two seconds.
The video screen and RSA 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 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, or any
auxiliary source connected to the auxiliary input
jack, if your vehicle has this feature or A/V
jacks. The wireless headphones have an On/Off
button channel 1/2 switch, and a volume control.
If your vehicle has a third row video screen
display, it will have two additional headphones.
322
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical
home entertainment system equipment. The yellow
jack is for the video input. The white jack is for
the left audio input. The red jack is 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 294for more information.How to Change the RSE Video Screen

Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the transmitter
window at the rear of the RSE overhead console
and press the desired button. Direct sunlight
or very bright light may affect the ability of the RSE
transmitter to receive signals from the remote
control. If the remote control does not seem to be
working, the batteries may need to be replaced.
See “Battery Replacement” later in this section.
Objects blocking the line of sight may also affect
the function of the remote control.
If a CD or DVD is in the Radio DVD slot, the
remote control power button can be used to turn
on the video screen display and start the disc. The
radio can also turn on the video screen display.
SeeRadio with CD and DVD on page 294
for more information.

area or in direct sunlight may damage it,
and the repairs will not be covered by your
warranty. Keep the remote control stored in a
cool, dry place.
