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.

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
RSA selections. These headphones
are used to listen to media such
as CDs, DVDs, MP3/WMAs,
DVD-As, radio, 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.
Switch the headphones to Off
when not in use.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator light
located on the headphones comes
on. If the light does not come on,
the batteries might need to be
replaced. Intermittent sound or
static on the headphones can also
be an indication of weak batteries.
See“Battery Replacement” later in
this section for more information. To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.
Infrared transmitters are located
at the rear of the RSE 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. Moving
too far forward or stepping out of the
vehicle, can cause the headphones
to lose the audio signal.
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.
The symbol L (Left) appears on
the outside bottom edge of the ear
cup and should be positioned on
the left ear. The symbol R (Right)
appears on the outside bottom
edge of the ear cup and should
be positioned on the right ear.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage
the headphones and repairs will
not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool,
dry place.
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.

rear seat passengers can control
a CD and listen to it 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 operate even
when the main radio is off. The front

RSA is on, and disappears from the
display when it is off.
Audio can be heard through wired
headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If the

also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
The audio system mutes the rear
speakers when the RSA audio is
active through the headphones.

audio device through the RSA,
attach the iPod or portable audio
device to the front auxiliary input
(if available), located on the front
