PLAYING iPod®/USB/MP3 DEVICES
• There are many ways to play music fromiPod®/MP3 players or USB devices
through your vehicle's sound system.
Audio Jack
• The Audio Jack allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod
®,tobe
plugged into the radio and utilize the
vehicle’s sound system, using a 3.5 mm
audio cable, to amplify the source and
play through the vehicle speakers.
•
Touch the Media soft-key then choose AUX source 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.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• Or, press the VR button on your steering wheel and state the source you would like to switch to. For example, say: "Change Source to (AUX/SD/USB/Bluetooth/Radio)”.
USB Port
• Connect your iPod
®or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USB
Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Then, audio from the device can be
played on the vehicles sound system while providing metadata (artist, track title,
album, etc.) information on the radio display.
• When connected, the iPod
®/compatible USB device can be controlled using voice
command, radio touch screen or Steering Wheel Audio controls to play, skip to the next
or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
• The iPod
®battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific
device).
NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod
®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately 5 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 devices. Some iPod
®software versions may not fully support the USB
port features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod®software updates.

Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will now
occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause
you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER OUTLETS
• The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets can provide power for in-vehicleaccessories designed for use with the standard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power
outlets have a cap attached to the outlet indicating “12V DC”, together with either a key
symbol or a battery symbol.
• The auxiliary power outlets can be found in the following locations: • To the right of the shifter on the console
• Inside the upper lid of the center stor-
age compartment — if equipped.
• Rear area of the center console.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is ex-
ceeded, the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlet as this will damage
the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper
use of the power outlet can cause dam-
age not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.
