Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System (Overhead)
The vehicle may have an Overhead 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, and if
the vehicle has a third row seat, it could have a
second video display screen, audio/video jacks,
two wireless headphones, and a remote control.
SeeNavigation Audio System on page 4-59for
more information on the vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
Driver Control of the Audio System
The driver has basic control of the whole audio system.
Press and hold
Ofor more than two seconds to turn
off the radio, RSE, and the RSA (rear seat audio). See
Navigation Audio System on page 4-59for more
information.
Before Driving
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 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 the vehicle is
outside of this range, heat or cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating range of the
RSE system.

Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel wireless headphones
that are dedicated to this system. Channel 1 is
dedicated to the DVD player, while Channel 2 is
dedicated to RSA selections. These headphones are
used to listen to media such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s,
DVDAs, radio, any auxiliary source connected to A/V
jacks, or the auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle has
this feature. The wireless headphones have an On/Off
button, channel 1/2 switch, and a volume control.If the vehicle has a third row video screen display,
it has two additional headphones.
Push the power button to turn on the headphones.
An indicator light located on the headphones comes on.
If the light comes on but, there is intermittent sound
and/or static on the headphones, or if the indicator
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 infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE overhead console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery power if the RSE
system and the RSA are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters for more than
3 minutes. If you move too far forward or step out
of the vehicle, the headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turn off after
four hours of continuous use.
To adjust the volume on the headphones, use
the volume control located on the right side.

For optimal audio performance, the headphones must
be worn correctly. The symbol L (Left) appears on
the upper left side, above the ear pad and should be
positioned on the left ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the upper right side, above the ear pad and should
be positioned on the right ear.
Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs will not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can weaken the batteries.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
If the foam ear pads attached to the headphones
become worn or damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set. See your
dealer/retailer for more information.Battery Replacement

1. Turn the screw to loosen the battery door located
on the left side of the headphones. Slide the
battery door open.

If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
