with a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the
player it stays in the player. When
the ignition or radio is turned backon, the CD-R or CD-RW starts to

Rear Seat Entertainment
(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 3-75
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
screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD. While

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,

Push the power button to turn
on the headphones. An indicator
light located on the headphones
comes on. If the light does not

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. Headphones should be
worn with the headband over the top
of the head for best audio reception.
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.
Headphones should be stored in
the front oor console and not in the
front seat back pocket. Headphone
damage can occur when the second
row seats are folded forward.
