TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces
of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while
the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.

SYNC® APPLICATIONS AND
SERVICES
In order for the following features to work,
your mobile phone must be compatible
with SYNC. To check your phone's
compatibility, visit www.SYNCMyRide.com
or www.syncmaroute.ca.
• SYNC Services (if equipped, U.S. only):
Provides access to traffic, directions
and information such as travel,
horoscopes, stock prices and more.
• 911 Assist™: Can alert 911 in the event
of an emergency.
• Vehicle Health Report (if equipped,
U.S. only): Provides a diagnostic and
maintenance report card of your
vehicle.
911 Assist
WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
prior to a crash, the system will not
dial for help which could delay
response time, potentially increasing the
risk of serious injury or death after a crash.
Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it
yourself. Dial emergency services
immediately to avoid delayed response
time which could increase the risk of
serious injury or death after a crash. If you
do not hear 911 Assist within five seconds
of the crash, the system or phone may be
damaged or non-functional.
WARNINGS
Always place your phone in a secure
location in the vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or get damaged
in a collision. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury to someone or damage the
phone which could prevent 911 Assist from
working properly.
Note: The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident.
Note: Before setting this feature on, ensure
that you read the 911 Assist privacy notice
later in this section for important
information.
Note: If 911 Assist is turned on or off by any
user, that setting applies for all paired
phones. If 911 Assist is turned off, either a
voice message plays or a display
message/icon comes on (or both) when the
vehicle is started after a previously paired
phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently.
While SYNC 911 Assist works with most
mobile phones, some may have trouble
using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag or activates
the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC-equipped vehicle may be able to
contact emergency services by dialing 911
through a paired and connected
Bluetooth-enabled phone. For more
information about 911 Assist visit
www.SYNCMyRide.com or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

A/V Inputs
Note:For safety reasons, connecting or
adjusting the settings on your portable
music player should not be attempted while
the vehicle is moving. Also, the portable
music player should be stored in a secure
location, such as the center console or the
glove box, when the vehicle is in motion. The
audio extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect an
auxiliary audio/video source (e.g. game
systems or personal camcorders) by
connecting RCA cords (not included) to
these input jacks. The jacks are yellow, red
and white and are located either in the
center console or behind a small access
door in the instrument panel.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack (AIJ) to play music from
your portable music player over your
vehicle's speakers. Plug in your one-eighth
inch (3.5 millimeter) RCA adapter into the
two left A/V input jacks (red and white).
Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, then select the A/V Inputs
tab. To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music player
is designed to be used with headphones
and that it is fully charged. You also need
an audio extension cable with stereo male
one-eighth inch (3.5 millimeter)
connectors at one end and a RCA jack at
the other.
1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the
radio and portable device are turned
off.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension
cable to the headphone output of your
player and the other end into the
adaptor in one of the two left A/V input
jacks (white or red) inside the center
console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned
station from the FM tab or the CD tab
(if there is a CD already loaded into the
system.) Adjust the volume to a
comfortable listening level.
4. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to one-half.
5. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V Input tab.
(You should hear audio from your
portable music player although it may
be low.)
6. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level
of the FM station or CD by switching
back and forth between the controls.
In order to playback video from your iPod®
or iPhone®, (if compatible), you MUST
have a special combination USB/RCA
composite video cable (available for
purchase from Apple® ). When the cable
is connected to your iPod® or iPhone®,
plug the other end into both the RCA jacks
and the USB port.
