Navigation/Radio System Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system. The navigation system has built-in features intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology alone, no matter how advanced, can never replace your own judgment. See the Navigation System manual for some tips to help you reduce distractions while driving.


Rear Seat Entertainment System Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system includes two head restraint video display screens with the DVD player(s), located behind each video screen as one unit, auxiliary inputs, two sets of wireless headphones, and a remote control.


Parental Control Parental control can be maintained through the DVD rating settings. This function restricts movie viewing for children of appropriate age levels. See “Rating” under Displaying DVD Player Default Settings, later in this section. Before You Drive The RSE system plays DVD, CD, and MP3 discs. You can also connect an auxiliary device to the RSE system to play games, watch videos, view photos, etc. Notice: Normal operation for the RSE system may be limited under extreme temperatures. Using the RSE system during extreme temperatures may cause damage to the system. Wait until the inside of the vehicle is at a safe temperature range of 32°-140°F (0°-60°C) before using the system.


271


Headphones Wireless Headphones The RSE system might include two sets of wireless headphones. Each headphone has an L marked on the left-side, for the left ear and an R marked on the right-side, for the right ear. The L and R marks are to show how the headphones should be worn.


OFF/ON (Power): The wireless headphones have an OFF/ON power switch located on the earpiece. To use the headphones, turn the switch to ON. An indicator light on the earpiece of the headphones illuminates. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries might need to be replaced. See “Battery Replacement” later in this section. Switch the headphones to OFF when not in use. The headphones shut off automatically to save the battery power if the RSE system is shut off or if the headphones are out of range of the transmitter window for more than three minutes. The transmitter window is located on the bottom edge of the monitor. If you move too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the headphones could lose the audio signal.


272


Channel Selector: The wireless headphones have a channel selector switch located on the right earpiece. The channel selector switches between Channel A and Channel B. Since each monitor can function as two independent sources through auxiliary input, it is necessary to transmit audio signals on separate channels. The driver’s side monitor is designated as Channel A, and the passenger’s side as Channel B. The Headphone channel selector switch must be set to the correct channel according to the monitor being viewed. When the head restraint monitor is initially turned on, the message, “To listen to this monitor tune your headphones to channel A (or B)” displays for five seconds then disappears. VOL 0 (Volume): To adjust the volume on the wireless headphones, use the volume control. Notice: Do not store the headphones in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones and repairs will not be covered by your warranty. Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.


If there is a decreased audio signal during CD, MP3, or DVD play, there could be a soft hissing noise through the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in the wireless headphones seem excessive, make sure the headphone batteries are fully charged. A small amount of hissing is normal. Battery Replacement To change the batteries, do the following: 1. Press down on the left earpiece and slide the


battery compartment panel down to expose the battery compartment.


2. Replace the two AAA batteries in the


compartment. Make sure they are installed correctly using the diagram on the inside of the battery compartment.


3. Slide the battery compartment panel back and


then down until the panel closes into the headphone ear piece.


If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries, and keep them in a cool, dry place.

the video screen on. Briefly press the power button again to toggle between monitor and DVD control buttons. The appropriate toggle is monitor. Main menu function icons display.


2. Plug the headphone into the corresponding jack, located on the bottom left of the video screen, next to the auxiliary jack.


3. Press the soft key buttons on the monitor,


located under the up and down arrow icons, to increase or to decrease the volume.


Audio Output Audio from the DVD player or auxiliary devices can be heard through the vehicle speakers or the wireless/wired headphones. The FM Modulator control has to be set to one of eight frequencies in order for these devices to be heard through the vehicle’s speakers. See “FM Modulator Control” later in this section.


273


Vehicle Speakers Only one audio source can be heard through the vehicle’s speakers at a time. The audio source being used is specified by the A/V (audio/video) source selected on the driver’s side head restraint monitor. The RSE system or an auxiliary device can be heard through all of the vehicle’s speakers when a DVD or auxiliary device is playing and the radio is tuned to one of eight frequencies selected on the FM Modulator portion of the system’s remote control. See “FM Modulator Control” later in this section. To turn the RSE system audio output to the vehicle’s speakers, on or off, press the power button on the FM Modulator portion of the system’s remote control. The audio from the RSE system can be heard through the wireless/wired headphones and the vehicle’s speakers at the same time.

Cleaning the Components Use care when directly touching or cleaning the components such as the DVD player and the discs that are used for your viewing entertainment, as damage may result. See Care of the CD and DVD Player on page 300 and Care of Your CDs and DVDs on page 299 in this manual for more information.


Rear Seat Audio (RSA) This feature allows rear seat passengers to listen to any of the sources: radio, cassette tapes, or CDs. However, the rear seat passengers can only control the sources that the front seat passengers are not listening to. For example, rear seat passengers may listen to and control cassette tapes or CDs 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 front seat audio controls always have priority over the RSA controls. If the front seat passengers switch the source for the main radio to a remote source, the RSA will not be able to control the source. You can operate the rear seat audio when the main radio is off.

Radio Reception You may experience frequency interference and static during normal radio reception if items such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio reception, most AM radio stations boosts the power levels during the day, and then reduce these levels during the night. Static can also occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on your radio. FM Stereo FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.


XM™ Satellite Radio Service XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage, bridges, garages, or tunnels can cause loss of the XM™ signal for a period of time. The radio could display NO SIGNAL to indicate interference.


Care of the Cassette Tape Player A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and extreme heat. If they are not, they may not operate properly or may cause failure of the tape player.


297


The tape player should be cleaned regularly after every 50 hours of use. The radio may display CLEAN to indicate that the tape player has been used for 50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this message appears on the display, the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but it should be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player. If there is a reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player. For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The recommended cleaning cassette is available through your dealer.


When cleaning the cassette tape player with the recommended non-abrasive cleaning cassette, it is possible that the cassette may eject, because the cut tape detection feature on the radio may recognize it as a broken tape, in error. To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected,
