QUICK-START USERS GUIDE:
Note: The RSES system has a temperature sensor that will not allow it to activate if the interior temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:
1. Be sure all appropriate fuses are installed.
2. Turn ignition to ACC or On.
3. Turn radio on and tune to 88.7 FM (in some cases you may need to tune to 89.1 FM)

5. Pull the monitor unit down to the vertical position.
6. Remove the remote control from the storage pocket that is located inside the rear left quarter panel.
