General
Many functions can be used from the rear passenger compartment via the Rear Seat Entertainment system. It consists of two rear displays that are connected to the head unit via WLAN.
The rear displays are fastened to the rear side of the front seats. The display inclination can only be adjusted manually. The operation and the display of video signals take place on the rear display.
