with a DVD player, a video display
screen, audio/video jacks, two
wireless headphones, and a remote
control. SeeRadio(s) on page 3-74
for more information on the
vehicle’s audio/DVD system.
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 or
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

Headphones
The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to RSA
selections. These headphones
are used to listen to media such as
CDs, DVDs, MP3/WMAs, DVD-As,
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

See “Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information.
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.
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 RSA
are shut off or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes.Moving too far forward or stepping
out of the vehicle, can cause the
headphones to lose the audio signal.
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.

headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will
not be covered by the warranty.

weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.

headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone
set. See your dealer/retailer for more
information.
