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
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen.
Press this button while a DVD or CD is playing to
freeze the video and mute the audio. The video
screen will display Parental Control ON and the
power indicator light on the DVD player will ash. It
will also disable all other button operations from the
remote control and the DVD player, with the
exception of the eject button. Press this button
again to restore operation of the DVD player.
This button may also be used to turn the DVD
player power on and automatically resume play if
the ignition is in RUN, ACC, or if RAP is active.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen
while driving and should not try to do so.

Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video
screen. The RCA jacks allow audio and video
signals to be connected from an auxiliary device
such as a camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Standard RCA cables, not
included, are needed to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector
inputs video and the red and white connectors
input right and left audio. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper connection
of the auxiliary device.
To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system,
connect an external auxiliary device to the
color-coded RCA jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the RSE system power on. If the
RSE system had been previously in the DVD
player mode, pressing the SRCE button on
the faceplate or the remote control will switch the
RSE system between the auxiliary device and
the DVD player.
How to Change the Video Format when in
the Auxiliary Mode
The auxiliary input video format is preset to NTSC.
In some countries, the video format may be in
the PAL system. To change the video format,
perform the following:
1. Press the display menu button.
2. Press the down arrow button to highlight the
Video Format option.
3. Press the enter button to select Video Format.
4. Press the right or left arrow button to select
the desired video format.
5. Press the enter button to accept the change.

The RSE system will always transmit the audio
signal by infrared to the wireless headphones,
if there is audio available. See “Headphones”
previously for more information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the vehicle speakers by using the radio. The
RSE system may be selected as an audio source
on the radio if the RSE system power is on.
Once the RSE system is selected as an audio
source on the radio, adjust the speaker volume on
the radio, if necessary. If the RSE system power
is not on, the RSE system will not be an available
source on the radio. Refer to the radio information
for the radio that your vehicle has for more
information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to
the wired headphone jacks on the rear seat
audio system (if equipped). The RSE system may
