amplify the source and play through the vehicle speakers.
• Touching the Player soft-key then choosing the AUX source soft-key will change the mode to auxiliary device if the Audio Jack is connected, allowing the music from your portable device
to be heard through the vehicle's speakers. In order activate the AUX, plug in the audio jack.

• To route the USB/iPod® cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the front of the console.
NOTE:
When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take several minutes to

mately five minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the device. Also during the reading process,
the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This process is needed to ensure the full use of
your iPod® features and only happens the first time it is connected. After the first time, the
reading process of your iPod® will take considerably less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone® devices. The USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage Class memory

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-sion feature that offers manual gear shifting
to provide you with more control of the
vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to maximize
engine braking, and improve overall vehicle
performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-tion, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the five available
gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move
the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering
wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is
displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument
cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver
(using the shift lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition
would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen,
except as described below:• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle until
“D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick®
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. This system reduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering, acceleration and
braking. There are three modes of operation:
