Cleaning the Video Screens The video display screens are made of a specially

Cleaning the Components Use care when touching or cleaning the components
such as the DVD player or the discs.
Do not use DVD lens cleaners for DVD players because
the lens of the DVD optics can become contaminated
by lubricants.
Handle CDs and DVDs carefully. Store them in their
original cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The DVD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched,
the CD or DVD may not play properly or not at all. If the
surface of a CD or DVD is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD or DVD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs
or DVDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge. Rear Seat Audio (RSA) Vehicles with this feature allow the rear seat passengers
to listen to and control any of the music sources: radio,
CDs, DVDs, or other auxiliary sources. The rear seat
passengers can control the same music sources the
front seat passengers are listening to (dual control) or
a different source. For example, rear seat passengers
can listen to and control a CD through the headphones,
while the driver listens to the radio through the speakers.
The rear seat passengers have control of the volume for
each set of headphones.
RSA functions can be operated even when the main
radio is off.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones
(not included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA.
If the vehicle has this feature, audio can also be
heard on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
The audio system allows the rear speakers to continue
playing even when the RSA audio is active through
the headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through
the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to
the auxiliary input (if available), located below the RSA.
Turn the iPod on, then choose the auxiliary input
with the RSA SRCE button.
