General
The RSE system is a system for rear-seat
entertainment that makes it possible to e.g.
watch video, play music, listen to the radio,
watch TV* or connect other external devices
(e.g. a games console).
The RSE system is fully integrated with the
car's infotainment system and can be used
simultaneously with other functions of the info-
tainment system.
When the rear seat passengers are using e.g.
A/V-AUX or watching TV* while listening with
headphones, the driver and front seat passen-
ger can still use the car's radio or media player.
However, only one disc at a time can be played
in the media player. It is possible to play back
music from e.g. an iPod
or steaming audio
files via Bluetooth
.
The RSE system can be controlled from the
front TV screen (parental control).
It is possible to display or play back various
media from different sources on each TV
screen. It is also possible to display or play
back media from the same source on one or
more of the TV screens (front, right rear and left
rear). It is not possible to play back video from

IMPORTANT
When loading luggage and large objects in
the vehicle, ensure that sufficient space is
left for the TV screens in the head restraints,
so that the TV screens are not scratched or
damaged. Cover the TV screens with appro-
priate covering material during loading.
NOTE
The TV screens and remote control do not
work at very low or high temperatures - they
only "come alive" after the climate control
system has created an acceptable operat-
ing temperature in the passenger compart-
ment.
NOTE
Clean the lens on the IR receiver regularly
with a damp cloth, a dirty lens affects
remote control function.
Power consumption, ignition positions
The system can be activated in ignition position
I or II and while the engine is running. When the
car is being started the film stops temporarily
and continues when the engine has started.
NOTE
For prolonged use (more than 10 minutes)
with the engine switched off, the capacity of
the vehicle's battery may fall to such a low
level that it is not possible to start the
engine.
In this case a message will be displayed on
the screen.
Menus
The menus for RSE are controlled using the
remote control. For general information on
menu navigation and menu structures, see
page 272.

control. Using this it is possible to control the
functions for each TV screen. The remote con-
trol can also be used to control other functions
in the infotainment system, even from the rear
seat.
