Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. SeeDefensive Driving on page 4-2.
Here are some ways in which you can help avoid
distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make
sure that it can be added by checking with your
dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering
mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment
can be added, it is very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other
systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s
systems may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.Notice:The chime signals related to safety belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
operate through the radio/entertainment system.
If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment
is added to your vehicle, the chimes may not
work. Make sure that replacement or additional
equipment is compatible with your vehicle before
installing it. SeeAccessories and Modifications
on page 5-3.
Your vehicle may have a feature called Retained
Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system
can be played even after the ignition is turned off.
SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-32

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.

time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
