6-34 Infotainment System
Rear Seat
Infotainment
Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
The vehicle may have a DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) system.
The RSE system works with the
vehicle's infotainment system. The
DVD player is part of the front radio.
The RSE system includes a radio
with a DVD player, two rear seat
video display screens, audio/video
jacks, two wireless headphones,
and a remote control. SeeCD/DVD
Player
on page 6‑22or the
separate navigation system manual
for more information on the vehicle's
DVD system.
Before Driving
The RSE is for rear seat
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.
Global Off
Depending on the infotainment
system, the RSE system may have
a Global Off feature. The Global Off
feature disables all RSE system
features. Press and hold the radio
power button for more than
three seconds for Global Off to
disable the RSE features. A padlock
icon may display on the
infotainment screen when the
Global Off feature is on. On some
infotainment systems, the Global Off
feature can be turned off by
performing one of the following:
.Press and hold the radio
power button for more than
three seconds.
.Insert or eject any disc.

wireless headphones. Channel 1 is
dedicated to the DVD player, and
Channel 2 is dedicated to any
external auxiliary device connected
to the A/V jacks. The headphones
are used to listen to various
multi-media. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button,
channel 1/2 switch, and a volume
control. Turn the headphones off
when not in use.

Infotainment System 6-35
Push the On/Off button to turn on
the headphones. A light on the
headphones comes on. If the light
does not come on, check the
batteries. Intermittent sound or static
can also indicate weak batteries.
See“Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information.
Infrared transmitters are on the top
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
than three minutes. Moving too far
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.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control. For best audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly,
with the headband over the top of
the head. L (Left) and R (Right) are
above the ear pads and are
indicators as to how the
headphones should be placed on
the head.
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 become worn
or damaged, they can be replaced
separately from the headphones.
