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
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system works with the
vehicle’s audio system. The DVD player is part of the
front radio. The RSE system includes a radio with a
DVD player, a video display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a remote control.
SeeRadio(s) (MP3) on page 3-87for more information
on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
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.
In severe or extreme weather conditions the RSE
system might or might not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The operating range
for the RSE system is above−4°F (−20°C) or below
140°F (60°C). If the temperature of your vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until
the temperature is within the operating range of
the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a Parental Control feature,
depending on which radio you have. To enable Parental
Control, press and hold the radio power button for more
than two seconds to stop all system features such as:
radio, video screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD. While
Parental Control is on, a padlock icon displays.
When the radio is turned back on, Parental Control
is unlocked.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear of the oor console,
allow audio or video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video
game unit to the RSE system. Adapter connectors
or cables (not supplied) might be required to connect
the auxiliary device to the A/V jacks. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to match typical home
entertainment system equipment. The yellow jack (A)
is for the video input. The white jack (B) is for the
left audio input. The red jack (C) is for the right
audio input.Power for auxiliary devices is not supplied by the
radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the RSE system, connect
an external auxiliary device to the color-coded A/V
jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the video
screen power on. If the video screen is in the DVD
player mode, pressing the AUX (auxiliary) button on
the remote control, switches the video screen from the
DVD player mode to the auxiliary device. The radio
can listen to the audio of the connected auxiliary
device by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeRadio(s) (MP3)
on page 3-87for more information.
