maps of most major freeways and roads throughout the
United States and Canada. After a destination has been
set, the system provides turn-by-turn instructions for
reaching the destination. In addition, the system can
help locate a variety of points of interest (POI), such as
banks, airports, restaurants, and more.
See the vehicle's Navigation System manual for more

CD Messages
CHECK DISC: If an error message displays and/or
the CD comes out, it could be for one of the following
reasons:
.It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
.The road is very rough. When the road becomes
smoother, the CD should play.
.The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
.The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
.There could have been a problem while burning
the CD.
.The label could be caught in the CD player.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If the radio displays an
error message, write it down and provide it to your
dealer while reporting the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The 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. However, an external audio device
such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD
changer, or cassette tape player, etc. can be connected
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 P (Park). See Defensive Driving
on page 5‑2for 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.
While a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX
button to begin playing audio from the device over the
vehicle speakers.
O(Power/Volume): Turn to increase or decrease
the volume of the portable player. Additional volume
adjustments might need to be made from the portable
device.

minimum volume level is used if the volume is turned
down too low.
