audio output; do not plug the headphone set into thefront auxiliary input jack. However, an external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player,

connected to the auxiliary input jack for use as another
source for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). SeeDefensive Driving

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 (RSE)
System
Vehicles with a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system
have a DVD player, a video display screen, auxiliary
inputs, two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.

the video screen, next to the auxiliary jacks. Press this
button while using rear seat audio (RSA) to make the
video screen go blank and to mute the audio while a DVD
or CD is playing. The power indicator lights on the DVD
player ash. Turning on the parental control also disables
all other button operations from the remote control andthe DVD player, except for the eject button. Press this

and remote control.
This button can also be used to turn the DVD player
power on and to automatically resume play of a disc that
is in the player while the ignition is on. If no disc is in the
player, the system powers up with no display on the LCD
screen.
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.
Normal operation could be limited under extremely low
or high temperatures, in order to protect the system
from damage. Operate the RSE system under normal
or comfortable cabin temperature ranges.
Headphones
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.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
3-102

Wireless Headphones
The RSE system may include two sets of wireless
headphones (batteries may be included with the
headphone sets).
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch, a
channel select switch, and a volume control. To use the
headphones, turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. An indicator
light on the headphones come 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.
The headphones shut off automatically to save
the battery power if the RSE system is off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters for
more than three minutes. The transmitters are located
next to the DVD faceplate. If the person using the
headphones moves too far forward or steps out of
the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
DVD and auxiliary audio are always found on channel
(CHA or CH1) of the wireless headphones. RSA audio is
dedicated to CHB or CH2 of the wireless headphones.
To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones,
use the volume control located on the headphones.
If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or
DVD play, there could be a low hissing noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound inthe wireless headphones seems excessive, make sure
that the headphone batteries are fully charged. Some
amount of hissing is normal.
Both sets of rear seat headphones could include foam
ear pads that can be replaced.
These foam ear pads can become worn or damaged
if they are not handled or stored properly. They can
be replaced separately from the headphone set.
See your dealer/retailer for more information.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones, do the
following:
1. Turn the screw 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.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.

DVD on / RSA on: The wired headphones plays
RSA audio.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen on
the DVD console. 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. The yellow
RCA jack is used for video input, the red RCA jack for
right audio input, and the white RCA jack for left audio
input. The system requires standard RCA cables, not
included, to connect the auxiliary device to the RCA
jacks. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
proper usage.

To use the auxiliary audio and video inputs, connect an
external auxiliary device such as a camcorder to the
RCA jacks and turn on both the auxiliary device power
and the power on the front of the RSE player.
If a disc is present when the RSE power is turned on,
the player automatically begins playing the disc. Press
the AUX button on the remote control or the DVD AUX
button on the DVD player faceplate to switch the system
between the DVD player and the auxiliary device. See
