The vehicle may have a rear
entertainment system (RSE) with a
second and third row screen. The
RSE has audio adapters to allow
you to connect auxiliary devices.
The audio can be heard through the
speakers or through the wireless or
wired headphones. See the Rear
Seat Infotainment user guide for
more information. Drivers are encouraged to set
up any auxiliary device while
the vehicle is in P (Park). See
Defensive Driving on page 9 ‑ 2 for
more information on driver
distraction.
To switch the RSE system to use an
auxiliary device:
1. Connect the auxiliary device to
the RSE system, for the second
or third row. 2. Press AUDIO then press
AUDIO again, repeatedly until
AUX (auxiliary) is selected or
press the AUX screen button.
An auxiliary device must be
connected for the AUX screen
button to appear as an option to
select.
3. For the second row display
select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display
1 and for the third row display
select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display 2.
Each screen works
independently of the other.
The second row screen can
watch a DVD while the third
row screen can use the
auxiliary device.
The rear seat passengers can also
use the remote control to change
the functions of the RSE. See the
Rear Seat Infotainment user guide
for more information.

7-34 Infotainment System Headphones
A. Battery cover
B. Channel 1 or 2 switch
C. Power button
D. Volume control
E. Power indicator light The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) selections.
These headphones can be used to
listen to the radio, CDs, DVDs,
MP3s, DVD ‐ As, or any auxiliary
source connected to A/V jacks or
the auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle
has this feature. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button,
channel 1 or 2 switch, and a volume
control.
If the vehicle has a third row video
screen display, it has two additional
headphones.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator light
located on the headphones comes
on. If the light comes on, but there
is intermittent sound and/or static on
the headphones, or if the indicator
light does not come on, the batteries
might need to be replaced. See “ Battery Replacement ” later in
this section for more information.
Switch the headphones to Off when
not in use.
Infrared transmitters are located
at the rear of the overhead
console. The headphones shut
off automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA
are shut off, or if the headphones
are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes. If you
move too far forward or step out of
the vehicle, the headphones lose
the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
Headphones should be worn with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception.
