Headphones
Wireless Headphones
The RSE system might include two sets of
wireless headphones. Each headphone has an
L marked on the left-side, for the left ear and an
R marked on the right-side, for the right ear. The
L and R marks are to show how the headphones
should be worn.
OFF/ON (Power):The wireless headphones have
an OFF/ON power switch located on the
earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch
to ON. An indicator light on the earpiece of the
headphones illuminates. If the light does not
illuminate, the batteries might need to be replaced.
See “Battery Replacement” later in this section.
Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use.
The headphones shut off automatically to save the
battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if
the headphones are out of range of the transmitter
window for more than three minutes. The
transmitter window is located on the bottom edge
of the monitor. If you move too far forward or
step out of the vehicle, the headphones could lose
the audio signal.Channel Selector:The wireless headphones
have a channel selector switch located on the right
earpiece. The channel selector switches between
Channel A and Channel B. Since each monitor
can function as two independent sources through
auxiliary input, it is necessary to transmit audio
signals on separate channels. The driver’s
side monitor is designated as Channel A, and the
passenger’s side as Channel B. The Headphone
channel selector switch must be set to the
correct channel according to the monitor being
viewed. When the head restraint monitor is initially
turned on, the message, “To listen to this
monitor tune your headphones to channel A
(or B)” displays for ve seconds then disappears.
VOL
0(Volume):To adjust the volume
on the wireless headphones, use the volume
control.
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 there is a decreased audio signal during CD,
MP3, or DVD play, there could be a soft hissing
noise through the speakers and/or headphones.
If the hissing sound in the wireless headphones
seem excessive, make sure the headphone
batteries are fully charged. A small amount of
hissing is normal.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Press down on the left earpiece and slide the
battery compartment panel down to expose
the battery compartment.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the
compartment. Make sure they are installed
correctly using the diagram on the inside
of the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery compartment panel back and
then down until the panel closes into the
headphone ear piece.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries, and keep
them in a cool, dry place.
Wired Headphones
There is a headphone jack on the left lower side
of the video screen. Use this jack with universal
wired headphones. To adjust the volume, do
the following:
1. Press the power button on the monitor to turn
the video screen on. Brie y press the power
button again to toggle between monitor and
DVD control buttons. The appropriate toggle is
monitor. Main menu function icons display.
2. Plug the headphone into the corresponding
jack, located on the bottom left of the video
screen, next to the auxiliary jack.
3. Press the soft key buttons on the monitor,
located under the up and down arrow icons,
to increase or to decrease the volume.
Audio Output
Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices
can be heard through the vehicle speakers or the
wireless/wired headphones. The FM Modulator
control has to be set to one of eight frequencies in
order for these devices to be heard through the
vehicle’s speakers. See “FM Modulator Control”
later in this section.

Remote Control
The system’s remote control combines the control
of all monitor and DVD player functions. To use
the system’s remote control, aim at the remote
sensor located on the upper right side of the
monitor and press the desired button on the
remote control. The remote works best when held
at a comfortable distance from the monitors.
Direct sunlight or very bright light can affect the
ability of the transmitter to receive signals from the
system’s remote control. If the remote control
does not seem to be working, the batteries might
need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”
later in this section. Objects blocking the
line-of-sight affects the function of the system’s
remote control.
Notice:Storing the remote control in a hot
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.

Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and
lines. If you can see a sign up ahead that might
indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your
pass. A broken center line usually indicates it is
all right to pass, providing the road ahead is
clear. Never cross a solid line on your side of
the lane or a double solid line, even if the road
seems empty of approaching traffic.
Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to
pass while you are awaiting an opportunity. For
one thing, following too closely reduces your
area of vision, especially if you are following a
larger vehicle. Also, you will not have adequate
space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or
stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming
up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane
and do not get too close. Time your move so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes
to move into the other lane. If the way is clear to
pass, you will have a running start that more
than makes up for the distance you would lose
by dropping back. And if something happens to
cause you to cancel your pass, you need only
slow down and drop back again and wait for
another opportunity.
If other vehicles are lined up to pass a slow
vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that
someone is not trying to pass you as you pull
out to pass the slow vehicle. Remember to
glance over your shoulder and check the
blind spot.
Check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and start your left lane change signal
before moving out of the right lane to pass.
When you are far enough ahead of the passed
vehicle to see its front in your vehicle’s inside
mirror, activate the right lane change signal and
move back into the right lane. Remember that,
if your vehicle’s passenger side outside mirror is
convex, the vehicle you just passed may seem
to be farther away from you than it really is.
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time
on two-lane roads. Reconsider before passing
the next vehicle.
Do not overtake a slowly moving vehicle too
rapidly. Even though the brake lamps are not
ashing, it may be slowing down or starting
to turn.
If you are being passed, make it easy for the
following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps
you can ease a little to the right.

Surface Obstacles:Unseen or hidden obstacles
can be hazardous. A rock, log, hole, rut, or
bump can startle you if you are not prepared for
them. Often these obstacles are hidden by
grass, bushes, snow, or even the rise and fall of
the terrain itself. Here are some things to consider:
Is the path ahead clear?
Will the surface texture change abruptly
up ahead?
Does the travel take you uphill or downhill?
There is more discussion of these subjects
later.
Will you have to stop suddenly or change
direction quickly?
When you drive over obstacles or rough terrain,
keep a rm grip on the steering wheel. Ruts,
troughs, or other surface features can jerk
the wheel out of your hands if you are not
prepared.
When possible, it is a good practice to survey the
landscape ahead on foot prior to driving to observe
hidden obstacles.When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other
obstacles, your wheels can leave the ground.
If this happens, even with one or two wheels,
you cannot control the vehicle as well or at all.
Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it is
especially important to avoid sudden acceleration,
sudden turns, or sudden braking.
In a way, off-road driving requires a different kind
of alertness from driving on paved roads and
highways. There are no road signs, posted speed
limits, or signal lights. You have to use your
own good judgment about what is safe and what
is not.
Drinking and driving can be very dangerous on
any road. And this is certainly true for off-road
driving. At the very time you need special alertness
and driving skills, your re exes, perceptions,
and judgment can be affected by even a small
amount of alcohol. You could have a serious — or
even fatal — accident if you drink and drive or
ride with a driver who has been drinking.
SeeDrunken Driving on page 303.

Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a
wet road, you cannot stop, accelerate, or turn as
well because your tire-to-road traction is not as
good as on dry roads. And, if your tires do not have
much tread left, you will get even less traction.It is always wise to go slower and be cautious if rain
starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may
get wet suddenly when your re exes are tuned for
driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even if
your windshield wiper blades are in good shape, a
heavy rain can make it harder to see road signs and
traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the
road, and even people walking.
It is wise to keep your wiping equipment in good
shape and keep your windshield washer uid
reservoir lled with washer uid. Replace
your windshield wiper inserts when they show
signs of streaking or missing areas on the
windshield, or when strips of rubber start to
separate from the inserts.
