Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
System
The vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system
includes a DVD player, a video display screen,
two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote
control.
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only and is
not intended for the driver while driving.
Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen. Press
this button while a DVD or CD is playing to freeze the
video and mute the audio. The video screen displays
Parental Control ON and the power indicator light on
the DVD player ashes. It also disables all other button
operations from the remote control and the DVD player,
with the exception of the eject button. Press this button
again to restore operation of the DVD player.
This button can also be used to turn the DVD player
power on and automatically resume play if the ignition
is in RUN, ACCESSORY, or if Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control.
An indicator light illuminates on the headphones when
they are on. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries
may need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement”
following for more information.
Each set of headphones has a volume knob. To adjust
the volume, adjust this knob.
The transmitters are located below the video display
screen. The headphones shut off automatically if
they lose the signal from the system after about
four minutes to save battery power. The signal can
be lost if the system is turned off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters.
When using the wired headphones, if the front seat
passengers play a CD in the Radio with Six-Disc CD
or use XM Satellite Radio Service, audio is heard
from these sources, instead of the DVD or CD that
is currently playing through the RSE.
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.
3-96
Both sets of rear seat headphones may include foam
ear pads.
The foam ear pads can become worn or damaged if
they are not handled or stored properly. They can
be replaced separately from the headphone set.
The headphone replacement foam ear pads can be
ordered in pairs. See your dealer/retailer for more
information.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the headphones:
1. Loosen the screw to the battery door on the left
side of the headphones and slide open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment.
Install correctly using the diagram on the inside
of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door
screw.
If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of
time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Stereo RCA Jacks
The RCA jacks are located behind the video screen.
The RCA jacks allow audio and video signals to be
connected from an auxiliary device such as a camcorder
or a video game unit to the RSE system. Standard RCA
cables, not included, are needed to connect the auxiliary
device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector inputs
video and the red and white connectors input right and
left audio. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for
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.

Wireless Headphones
Vehicle Speakers
Vehicle wired headphone jacks on the Rear Seat
Audio system (if equipped)The RSE system always transmits the audio signal to
the wireless headphones, if there is audio available.
See “Headphones” earlier in this section for more
information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to the
vehicle speakers by using the radio. The RSE system can
be selected as an audio source on the radio if the RSE
system power is on. Once the RSE system is selected as
an audio source on the radio, adjust the speaker volume
on the radio, if necessary. If the RSE system power is not
on, the RSE system is not an available source on the
radio. See the vehicle’s radio information.
The RSE system is capable of outputting audio to the
wired headphone jacks on the rear seat audio system
(if equipped). The RSE system can be selected as
an audio source on the rear seat audio system if the
RSE system power is on. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA)
on page 3-108for more information.

The video screen is located in the overhead console.
To use the video screen:
1. Push forward on the release button located on the
DVD display console.
2. Pull the screen down, away from you, and adjust its
position as desired.
When the video screen is not in use, push it up into its

to play through the previous audio or video source.
The video screen contains the IR transmitters for the
wireless headphones and the IR receivers for the remote
control. If the screen is in the closed position, the signals
are not available for the operation of the headphones or
the remote control.
Notice:Avoid directly touching the video screen,
as damage may occur. See “Cleaning the Video
Screen” later in this section for more information.

The DVD player is located in the overhead console and
is controlled by the buttons on the DVD player or on
the remote control. See “Remote Control” later in
this section for more information.
The DVD player power can be turned on while the
ignition is in ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or when
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.
The RSE system DVD player is only compatible with
DVDs of the appropriate region code in the country that
the vehicle was sold. The DVD region code is printed
on the jacket of most DVDs.
Standard audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, Video CD and
Photo CD/CD-R media are fully supported by this DVD
player. DVD-R and DVD-RW media is supported if
formatted as DVD-Video. DVD+R and DVD+RW media
may or may not be supported by the DVD player. The
DVD player does not support DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM,
and DVD Audio media. An error message displays if
this type of media is inserted into the DVD player.
When using the wired headphones, not included, if
the front seat passengers play a CD in the Radio with
Six-Disc CD (if equipped) or use XM™ Satellite Radio
Service (if equipped), the audio for these sources will be
heard, instead of the DVD or CD that is currently playing
through the RSE.
If an error message displays on the video screen, see
“DVD Messages” later in this section.

Cleaning the Video Screen
Use isopropyl or rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and
gently wipe the video screen. Do not spray directly onto
the screen and do not press too hard or too long on
the video screen.
Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any
of the sources: radio, CDs, or DVDs. However, the rear
seat passengers can only control the sources that are not
being listened by the front seat passengers. For example,
rear seat passengers can listen to and control CDs or
DVDs through the headphones while the driver listens
to the radio through the front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each set
of headphones.
The front seat audio controls always have priority over
the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch the
source for the main radio to a remote source, the RSA is
not able to control the source. The rear seat audio can be
operated while the main radio is off.
P(Power):Press to turn the system on or off. The
rear speakers are muted when the power is turned on.
u(Volume):Turn to increase or to decrease the
volume. The left volume knob controls the left wired
headphones and the right volume knob controls the
right wired headphones.

or DVD. The inactive CD or DVD remains inside
the radio for future listening.
SEEK:Press to advance to the next station or track
and stay there. The display shows the selection. This
function is inactive if the front seat passengers are
