and DVD):Your vehicle has a Bose
®Audio System.
It includes Bose AudioPilot®noise compensation
technology. When turned ON, AudioPilot®continuously
adjusts the audio system equalization, to compensate
for background noise, so that your music always sounds
the same at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio volume
settings where background noise can affect how well
you hear the music being played through the vehicle’s
audio system. At higher volume settings, where the
music is much louder than the background noise,
there might be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot
®.
To activate NCV:
1. Set the radio volume to the desired level.
2. Press the MENU button to display the radio
setup menu.
3. Press the pushbutton under the AUTO VOLUM

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
Your radio system has an auxiliary input jack located on
the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not an audio
output; do not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. You can however, connect an
external audio device such as an iPod, laptop computer,
MP3 player, CD player, or cassette tape player, etc. to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for audio
listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). SeeDefensive Driving
on page 4-2for more information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX
button to begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase the portable audio
device’s volume to the loudest level.
It is always best to power your portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.
O(Power/Volume):Turn this knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume
of the portable player. Additional volume adjustments
might have to be made from the portable device if
the volume is not loud or soft enough.BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio when a
portable audio device is playing. The portable audio
device continues playing, so you might want to stop
it or turn it off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to play a CD
when a portable audio device is playing. Press this button
again and the system begins playing audio from the
connected portable audio player. If a portable audio
player is not connected, “No Input Device Found”
displays.
DVD/CD AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to cycle
through DVD, CD, or Auxiliary when listening to the radio.
The DVD/CD text label and a message showing track or
chapter number displays when a disc is in either slot.
Press this button again and the system automatically
searches for an auxiliary input device, such as a portable
audio player. If a portable audio player is not connected,
“No Aux Input Device” displays. If a disc is in both the
DVD slot and the CD slot the DVD/CD AUX button cycles
between the two sources and not indicate “No Aux Input
Device”. If a front auxiliary device is connected, the
DVD/CD AUX button cycles through all available options,
such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front Auxiliary, and Rear
Auxiliary (if available). See “Using the Auxiliary Input
Jack(s)” later in this section, or “Audio/Video (A/V) Jacks”
under,Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) System on
page 3-105for more information.

It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a
possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to
the left or right depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you
can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer
quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving
at all times and wear safety belts properly.Off-Road Recovery
You may nd that your right wheels have dropped off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you are
driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off
the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way,
steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the
pavement. You can turn the steering wheel up to
one-quarter turn until the right front tire contacts the
pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to
go straight down the roadway.

Sound the horn as you approach the top of the hill
to let opposing traffic know you are there.
Use your headlamps even during the day.
They make your vehicle more visible to
oncoming traffic.
{CAUTION:
Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full speed
can cause an accident. There could be a
drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even another
vehicle. You could be seriously injured or
killed. As you near the top of a hill, slow down
and stay alert.There are some things you should do if the vehicle
stalls, or is about to stall, and you cannot make it
up the hill:
Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and
keep it from rolling backwards. Also, apply the
parking brake.
If your engine is still running, shift the transmission
to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and
slowly back down the hill in REVERSE (R).
If your engine has stopped running, you will need to
restart it. With the brake pedal pressed and the
parking brake still applied, shift the transmission to
PARK (P) and restart the engine. Then, shift to
REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and
slowly back down the hill as straight as possible in
REVERSE (R).
As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand
on the steering wheel at the 12 o’clock position.
This way, you will be able to tell if your wheels are
straight and maneuver as you back down. It is
best that you back down the hill with your wheels
straight rather than in the left or right direction.
Turning the wheel too far to the left or right
will increase the possibility of a rollover.

Filling the Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to

Do not use cellular phones. Keep sparks,
ames, and smoking materials away from fuel.
Do not leave the fuel pump unattended when
refueling your vehicle. This is against the law
in some places. Do not re-enter the vehicle
while pumping fuel. Keep children away from
the fuel pump; never let children pump fuel.The fuel cap is located on
the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
Open the door to access the fuel cap. To remove the
fuel cap, turn it slowly counterclockwise. While refueling,
let the fuel cap hang by the tether, if it has one.
