(RSE) System
The vehicle may have a 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, 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
of this range, heat or cool the
vehicle until the temperature is
within the operating range of
the RSE system.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a
Parental Control feature, depending
on the radio. To enable Parental
Control, press and hold the
radio power button for more than
two seconds to stop all system
features such as: radio, video

Instrument Panel 3-109

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
control. Switch the headphones
to Off when not in use.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator
light located on the headphones
comes on. If the light does not come
on, the batteries might need to be
replaced. Intermittent sound or static
on the headphones can also be
an indication of weak batteries.
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.
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.

If the headphones are to be stored
for a long period of time, remove
the batteries and keep them
in a cool, dry place.Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the oor console, 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 supplied)
might 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.

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
For vehicles with Rear Seat
Audio (RSA), rear seat passengers
can listen to and control any of
the music sources: radio, CDs,
DVDs, or other auxiliary sources.
The rear seat passengers can only
control the music sources the
front seat passengers are not
listening to (except on some radios
where dual control is allowed).
For example, rear seat passengers
can control a CD and listen to it
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 RSA functions operate even
when the main radio is off. The front
audio system displays
Xwhen
the RSA is on, and disappears from
the display when it 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 mutes the rear
speakers 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 front auxiliary input
(if available), located on the
front audio system. Turn the iPod
on, then choose the front auxiliary
input with the RSA SRCE button.
