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, a remote control, and if the
vehicle has a third row seat, it may have a second
video display screen and two additional wireless
headphones. See Radio(s)

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 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.
