how advanced, can never replace your own judgment.
See the Navigation System manual for some tips to help
you reduce distractions while driving.

Your vehicle may have the Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system

screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of

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 switches the RSE system
between the auxiliary device and the DVD player.
