occupants. The audio is broadcast
through the supplied wireless
headphones.

Wireless HeadphonesSome state and local government
agencies prohibit the use of
headphones by the driver of a motor
vehicle. Always obey applicable laws
and regulations.
The audio for the rear entertainment
system is sent to the wireless
headphones that come with the
system. When using the
headphones, make sure you wear
them correctly: L (left) and R (right)
are marked on the sides of the frame.
Wearing the headphones backwards
may affect audio reception, limiting
the sound quality and range.To use the headphones, pivot the
earpieces outward. This turns them
on. To adjust the volume, turn the
dial on the bottom of the right
earpiece. When you remove the
headphones, the earpieces
automatically pivot inward, and the
headphones turn off. When not in
use, store the headphones in the
pocket of either front seat.
