Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
Your vehicle may have rear seat audio (RSA). This
feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to
and control any of the music sources: radio, CDs, or
other auxiliary sources. However, the rear seat
passengers can only control the music sources the front
seat passengers are not listening to. For example,
rear seat passengers can control and listen to a CD
through the headphones, while the driver listens to the
radio through the front speakers. The rear seat
passengers have control of the volume for each set of
headphones.
The RSA functions can be operated even when the
main radio is off. The front audio system will display the
headphone icon when the RSA is on, and will
disappear from the display when it is off.
The audio system mutes the rear speakers when the
RSA audio is active through the headphones.
Audio can be heard through wired headphones (not
included) plugged into the jacks on the RSA. If
your vehicle has this feature, audio can also be heard
on Channel 2 of the wireless headphones.
To listen to an iPod or portable audio device through
the RSA, attach the iPod or portable audio device to the
front auxiliary input (if available), located on the front
audio system. Turn the iPod on, then choose the
front auxiliary input with the RSA SRCE button.The area above the top row of buttons on the RSA
faceplate is not a display. Infrared transmitters
are located in this area for the wireless headphones.
The following functions are controlled by the RSA
system:
n(Volume):Turn this knob to increase or to
decrease the volume. The left knob controls the left
wired headphones and the right knob controls the right
wired headphones.
O(Power):Press this button to turn the system on
or off. The rear speakers are muted when the RSA
power is turned on.

the CD, and if your vehicle has these features,
DVD, front auxiliary, and rear auxiliary.
