Each video screen is equipped with
a video input jack to allow video
cables to be connected from an
auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game system.
This signal will override any video
provided by the RSE system; either

from the remote control. Check the
batteries if the remote control does
not seem to be working. See

section. Objects blocking the line of
sight could also affect the function
of the remote control. If a CD, DVD, or MP3 disc is in the
Radio DVD slot, the remote control
Obutton can be used to turn on the
video screen display and start the
disc. The infotainment system can
also turn on the video screen
display. See CD/DVD Player

navigation system manual for more
information.
Notice: Storing the remote
control in a hot area or in direct
sunlight can damage it, and the
repairs will not be covered by the
