Navigation Audio System
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio,
make sure that it can be added by checking with
your dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound
equipment can be added, it is very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere
with the operation of the vehicle’s engine, radio,
or other systems, and even damage them.
The vehicle’s systems can interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice:The chime signals related to safety belts,
parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle
operate through the navigation system. If that
equipment is replaced or additional equipment is
added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work.
Make sure that replacement or additional equipment
is compatible with the vehicle before installing it.

a soft marker.
Auxiliary Devices
The navigation system has an auxiliary input jack
located in the upper right corner 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 changer, 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). See “Defensive Driving”
in the Index of your vehicles owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.If your vehicle has rear audio/video input jacks, located
in the rear of the center console, they can be used
as another source for audio/video listening.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system will detect and
automatically begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle’s speakers.
If a device is connected and you are listening to another
source (FM, CD, MP3, etc.), press the AUDIO key
then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX is
selected or touch the AUX screen button. An auxiliary
device must be connected for the AUX screen button
to appear as an option to select or the vehicle must have
