A/V Inputs WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving. For safety reasons, do not
connect or adjust the settings on
your portable music player while your
vehicle is moving.

WARNINGS
Store the portable music player
in a secure location, such as the
center console or the glove box, when
your vehicle is moving. Hard objects
may become projectiles in a crash or
sudden stop, which may increase the
risk of serious injury. The audio
extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to
be safely stored while your vehicle is
moving. Your A/V inputs allow you to connect
an auxiliary audio/video source (such
as a gaming systems or a personal
camcorder) by connecting RCA cords
(not included) to these input jacks.
The jacks are yellow, red and white
and are located either behind a small
access door on the instrument panel
or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from
your portable music player over your
vehicle's speakers. Plug in your 1/8
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, and then select A/V In.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music
player is designed for use with
headphones and that it is fully
charged. You also need an audio
extension cable with stereo male
1/8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors
at one end and a RCA jack at the
other.
1. Switch off the engine, radio and
portable music player. Set the
parking brake and put the
transmission in position P.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone
output of your player and the other
end into the adapter 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
FM station or a CD (if there is a CD
already loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the
maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the
touchscreen. Select the
A/V In
tab. (You should hear audio from
your portable music player
although it may be low.)
7. 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.
