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 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, and a remote control.
See Operation
on page 7‑2for
more information on the vehicle's
infotainment system.
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 or
might not work until the temperature
is within the operating range. The
operating range for the RSE system
is above
−20°C (−4°F) or below
60°C (140°F). 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.
Parental Control
The RSE system may have a
Parental Control feature, depending
on the radio. To enable Parental
Control, press and hold the radio
power button for more than
two seconds to stop all system
features such as: radio, video
screen, RSA, DVD and/or CD.
While Parental Control is on,
Qdisplays.
When the radio is turned back on,
Parental Control is unlocked.

If the foam ear pads attached to the
headphones become worn or
damaged, the pads can be replaced
separately from the headphone set.
To purchase replacement ear pads,
call 1‐888‐293‐3332, then prompt
zero (0), or contact your dealer.
Headphones should be stored in the
front floor console and not in the
front seat back pocket. Headphone
damage can occur when the second
row seats are folded forward.
Battery Replacement
To change the batteries on the
headphones:
1. Turn the screw to loosen thebattery door located on the left
side of the headphones. Slide
the battery door open.
2. Replace the two batteries in the compartment. Make sure that
they are installed correctly, using
the diagram on the inside of the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door and tighten the door screw. If the headphones are to be stored
for a long period of time, remove the
batteries and keep them in a cool,
dry place.
Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the floor console, allow audio
or video signals to be connected
from an auxiliary device such as
a camcorder or a video game unit
to the RSE system. Adapter
connectors or cables (not supplied)
might be required to connect the
auxiliary device to the A/V jacks.
Refer to the manufacturer
’s
instructions for proper usage.
The A/V jacks are color coded to
match typical home entertainment
system equipment. The yellow
jack (A) is for the video input. The
white jack (B) is for the left audio
input. The red jack (C) is for the
right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not
supplied by the radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the
RSE system, connect an external
auxiliary device to the color-coded
A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary
device and the video screen power
on. If the video screen is in the
DVD player mode, pressing the
AUX (auxiliary) button on the remote
control, switches the video screen
from the DVD player mode to the
auxiliary device. The radio can listen
to the audio of the connected
auxiliary device by sourcing to
auxiliary. See Auxiliary Devices
on
page 7‑33for more information.
