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.

Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks are located on the rear of the oor console.
The A/V jacks 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 included) may 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
plays the audio of the connected auxiliary device
by sourcing to auxiliary. SeeNavigation Audio System
on page 4-59for more information.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio
device’s volume to the loudest level. Higher levels
of volume decreases audio distortion.
It is always best to power a portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.

Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System (Headrest DVD)

video display screens with integrated DVD players,
auxiliary inputs, two wireless headphones, and a remote
control. This system works independently from the
vehicle’s Overhead DVD RSE system. See the vehicle’s
owners manual for information about the Overhead
DVD RSE system.
