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.

Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control.
An indicator light will illuminate on the headphones
when they are on. If the light does not illuminate,
the batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” following for more information.
Each set of headphones has a volume knob.
To adjust the volume, adjust this knob.
The transmitters are located below the video
display screen. The headphones will shut
off automatically if they lose the signal from the
system after about four minutes to save battery
power. The signal may be lost if the system
is turned off or if the headphones are out of
range of the transmitters.
When using the wired headphones, if the front
seat passengers play a CD in the Radio with
Six-Disc CD (if equipped) or use XM™ Satellite
Radio Service (if equipped), you will hear the audio
for these sources, instead of the DVD or CD
that is currently playing through the RSE.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.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries, do the following:
1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment
door located on the left side of the headphone
earpiece.
2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the
compartment. Make sure that they are
installed correctly, using the diagram on the
inside of the battery compartment.
3. Tighten the screw to close the
compartment door.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long
period of time, remove the batteries and keep them
in a cool, dry place.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to select
and listen to any of the available radio sources:
AM/FM, XM, CD, or DVD. However, a rear
seat passenger cannot control a source selected
on the radio by someone in the front of the
vehicle. For example, the RSA cannot be used to
change CD tracks if the radio is set to CD.
Also, if the radio is switched to a source the RSA
has control of, sound will not be lost, but the
RSA will lose control of that sourse.
Rear seat passengers always have control of the
volume for each set of headphones.
The RSA will run when the radio is off if the
ignition key is positioned in the power mode, see
XXX in this manual.

volume and counterclockwise to decrease the
volume.

Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or
pulling it will not work, and it could damage
your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery with a negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle’s system is not a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
vehicles with 12-volt systems with negative
grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are
not touching each other. If they are, it could
cause a ground connection you do not
want. You would not be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake rmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put
an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission in NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer
case is not in NEUTRAL.Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles.
Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged into
the cigarette lighter or the accessory power
outlets, if equipped. Turn off the radio and all
lamps that are not needed. This will avoid
sparks and help to save both batteries. And it
could save the radio!
