12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use of
the lighter can cause damage not
covered by y our warranty, and can
result in fire or serious injury.
Note: If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery will discharge.
There may be insufficient power to
restart your vehicle.
Note: Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.
This will damage the outlet and blow
the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket from
the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over
the vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180
watts or a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point
caps closed when not in use.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use
of the power point. To prevent the
battery from discharging accidentally: • Do not use the power point longer
than necessary when the vehicle
is not running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when you park your
vehicle for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be in the following
locations:
• in the front of the center console
• inside the center console storagebin
• on the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If
Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do
not use any extension cord with the
110 volt AC power point, since it will
defeat the safety protection design.
Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple
devices that can reach beyond the 150
watt load limit and could result in fire
or serious injury.
Note: Keep the vehicle running to use
the power point.

Auxiliary Power Points

E143941
You can use the power point for
powering electrical devices that
require up to 150 watts. It is on the
rear of the center console.
When the indicator light, located on
the power point, is:
• on — power point is ready tosupply power.
• off — power point power supply is off; ignition is not on.
• flashing — power point is in fault mode.
The power point temporarily turns off
power if it exceeds the 150 watt limit.
It can also switch to a fault mode if it
detects overloading, overheating, or
shorting conditions. For overloading
and shorting conditions, unplug your
device and switch the ignition off then
on. For an overheating condition, let
the system cool off first. Switch the
ignition off then on. Do not use the power point for certain
electric devices, including:
• Cathode ray tube type televisions
• Motor loads, for example vacuum
cleaners, electric saws and other
electric power tools, or
compressor-driven refrigerators
• Measuring devices which process precise data, for example medical
equipment or measuring
equipment
• Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply, for
example
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch sensor lamps

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.
E142622
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.

In order to playback video from your
iPod or iPhone, you must have a
special combination USB/RCA
composite video cable (which you can
buy from Apple). When you connect
the cable to your iPod or iPhone, plug
the other end into both the RCA jacks
and the USB port.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio inputjack to a line level output. The jack
only works correctly with devices
that have a headphone output
with a volume control.
• Do not set the portable music player's volume level higher than
is necessary to match the volume
of the CD or FM radio as this
causes distortion and reduces
sound quality. • If the music sounds distorted at
lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume
down. If the problem persists,
replace or recharge the batteries
in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in the same manner when used
with headphones, as the auxiliary
input jack does not provide control
(such as Play or Pause) over the
attached portable media player.
