Battery Replacement

To change the batteries, do the following:

1. Remove the battery compartment door located on the bottom of the remote control.
2. Remove the batteries from the compartment.
3. Replace the 2 AA-size batteries in the proper orientation.

If the remote control is to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool, dry place. Do not store the remote control in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the remote control and would not be covered by your vehicle warranty. Keep the remote control stored in a cool, dry place.

Wireless Headphones

The RSE system includes two sets of wireless infrared headphones.

Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control. To use the headphones activate the ON/OFF control. A red indicator light will illuminate on the headphones. If the light does not illuminate, the batteries may need to be replaced. See "Battery Replacement" in this section for more information. To turn the headphones OFF activate the ON/OFF control once again.

Each set of headphones has a rotary volume control. To adjust the volume, adjust this control. The headphones will automatically turn off if they lose the infrared signal from the system for approximately four minutes in order to preserve their battery power. The signal may be lost if the system is turned OFF or if the headphones are out of range of the infrared signal transmitters that are located below the video display screen.

Battery Replacement

To change the batteries, do the following:

1. Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door located on the LEFT headphone earpiece.
2. Remove the batteries from the compartment.
3. Replace the two AAA-size batteries in the proper orientation.

If the headphones are to be stored for a long period of time, remove the batteries and keep them in a cool, dry place. Do not store the headphones in heat or direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones and would not be covered by your vehicle warranty. Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.

Stereo RCA Jacks

The RCA jacks are located on the forward portion of the overhead console next to the parental control button. The RCA jacks allow you to connect audio and video from an auxiliary device such as a camcorder or a video game player to your RSE system just as you would to a standard television. Standard RCA cables are needed to connect the auxiliary device to the RCA jacks. The yellow connector transmits video while the red and white connectors transmit right and left stereo audio respectively. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper connection of your auxiliary device.

To use the auxiliary inputs on the RSE system, connect an external auxiliary device to the color-coded RCA jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the RSE system power on. If the RSE system had been previously in the DVD player mode, the user will need to press the DVD AUX button on the remote control to change to the auxiliary mode. Successive actuations of the DVD AUX button will toggle the RSE system between the auxiliary and DVD player modes.

Audio Output

Audio from the RSE system DVD player or auxiliary inputs may only be heard through the following possible sources:

Almost all electric or electronic devices radiate energy in the form of radio waves, also known as EMI. EMI can be produced from such thing as common residential TV antennas, personal hair dryers, microwave ovens, utility power lines, and cellular telephones and other communication devices in passing vehicles.

Not all devices produce the same level of EMI radiation -- some very weak, some very strong. However, under the right circumstances, some devices may emit enough EMI that it affects the rear video entertainment system. If the problem persists, check your surroundings for possible EMI sources, such as utility power lines. Wait until the vehicle is clear of the source and try it again.

The rear video entertainment system has 3 external circuits, as follows:
