iPod functions ●
When an iPod is connected and the audio source is changed to iPod mode, the
iPod will resume play from the same point in which it was last used.●
Depending on the iPod that is connecte d to the system, certain functions may
not be available. If a function is unavailable due to a malfunction (as opposed to
a system specification), disconnecting  the device and reconnecting it once
again may resolve the problem. ●
While connected to the system, the iPod cannot be operated with its own con-
trols. It is necessary to use the controls  of the vehicle's audio system instead. ●
When the battery level of an iPod is very  low, the iPod may not operate. If so,
charge the iPod before use.●
