passengers only. The driver cannot
safely view the video screen while
driving. In severe or extreme weather
conditions the RSE system may not
work until the temperature is within
the operating range. The operating
range is above
−20°C (−4°F) and
below 60°C (140°F). If the
temperature is outside of this range,
heat or cool the vehicle until it is
within the operating range.

of the left seatback video screen.
The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system is shut off
or if the headphones are out of
range of the transmitters for more

forward or stepping out of the
vehicle, can cause the headphones
to lose the signal or have static.
The headphones automatically turn
off after four hours of
continuous use.

headphones, use the volume
control. For best audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly,
