output; do not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. An external audio device such as
an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD player,
or cassette tape player, etc. can be connected to the
auxiliary input jack for use as another audio source. Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See

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 the portable audio device
through its own battery while playing.

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.

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 does 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).
