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
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 this range, heat or
cool the vehicle until the
temperature is within the operating
range of the RSE system.

Parental Control feature, depending
on which radio the vehicle has. To
start Parental Control, press and
hold the radio power button for more

Control is on, a padlock icon
displays.
The radio can be turned back on
with a single press of the power
button, but the RSE system will
remain under Parental Control.
To turn Parental Control off, press
and hold the radio power button for
more than two seconds. The RSE
returns from where it was previously

when driving on downhill grades by
using the engine and transmission
to slow the vehicle. The first time
