Video Screens
The video screens are located in the
back of the driver and front
passenger seats.
To use the video screen:
1. Push the release button locatedon the seatback console.
2. Move the screen to the desired viewing position.
Push the video screen down into its
locked position when it is not in use.
The screen turns off automatically. Only the left RSE seatback console
contains the infrared transmitters for
the wireless headphones. They may
be visible as eight illuminated LEDs.
These LEDs are not on the right
video screen. Both seatback
consoles contain an infrared
receiver for the remote control.
They are located at the top of
each console.
Notice:
Avoid directly touching
the video screen, as damage may
occur. See “Cleaning the Video
Screens” later in this section for
more information.
Video Screen Input Jack
Each video screen is equipped with
a video input jack to allow video
cables to be connected from an
auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game system.
This signal will override any video
provided by the RSE system; either
the DVD or Auxiliary A/V jack
source. The RSE system must be
on for this input to operate.
Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at
the transmitter window at either
seatback console and press the
button. Direct sunlight or very bright
light could affect the ability of the
RSE transmitter to receive signals
from the remote control. Check the
batteries if the remote control does
not seem to be working. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this
section. Objects blocking the line of
sight could also affect the function
of the remote control.

system.
.Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.
The system may not work with
all cell phones. See “Pairing”in
this section for more information.
.If the cell phone has voice
dialing capability, learn to use
that feature to access the
address book or contact list. See
“Voice Pass-Thru” in this section
for more information.
