AUDIO SYSTEM
RSES (Rear Seat Entertainment System)
General
The RSES (Rear Seat Entertainment System) is available as optional equipment on the Limited grade for
U.S.A. models.
It uses a 9-inch rear display to provide impressive video images to the rear seat occupants.
It supports the MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) system.
The maximum opening angle of the rear display is 125, which dramatically increases the viewing range
in the downward direction.
The rear display can be set at any position. Thus, the users can set the rear display to a position that gives
them the best view.
When the RSES is on, and the ignition switch is turned OFF, the RSES will also turn off. When the ignition
switch is turned back ON, the RSES will automatically turn on. At this time, the RSES can resume playing
the video image from the point the ignition switch was turned OFF.
A child lock function is provided to disable the operation of the RSES through the remote controller. This
function is activated by turning on the RSE LOCK at the audio head unit.
The rear seat entertainment ECU is built into the rear display assembly.
The RSES can be operated only through the remote controller.
The RSES is controlled by the rear seat entertainment ECU.
