(GPS)*, two-way radios, mobile fax
machines, or walkie talkies.
It might be necessary to turn off the

Rear Seat Audio (RSA)
System
Vehicles with this feature allow
the rear seat passengers to listen
to and control any of the music
sources: radio, CDs, DVDs, or other
auxiliary sources. However, the rear
seat passengers can only control
the music sources the front seat
passengers are not listening to
(except on some radios where dual
control is allowed). 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 radio functionality is controlled
by both the RSA and the front radio.
Only one band can be tuned to at
one time. Changing the band on the
RSA or the front radio will change
the band on the other system,
if they are both sourced to the radio.The RSA functions can be used
even while the main radio is off.
The front audio system will display
the headphone icon when the RSA
is on, and it will disappear from the
display when the RSA is off.
Audio can be heard through wired
headphones (not included) plugged
into the jacks on the RSA. If the
vehicle has this feature, audio can
also be heard on Channel 2 of the
wireless headphones.
Depending on the audio system,
the rear speakers may continue to
play when the RSA audio is active
through the 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.
