this manual. See the infotainment
manual for information on other
available infotainment systems.

become familiar with these features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for
too long or too often while using

features are also available through
the instrument cluster and steering
wheel controls.

.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily by pressing a single
button or by using a single voice
command if equipped with
Bluetooth phone capability.

7-6 Infotainment System
Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms andpower lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but
FM signals reach only about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Tall buildings or
hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in
and out.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the radio. This
interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the
cellular phone and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The antenna is
used for AM, FM, and navigation
System, if equipped. Tall buildings,
hills, trees, heavy foliage, tunnels,
bridges, and garages will affect
reception. Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear reception.
Make sure there is sufficient
clearance when entering garages or
parking structures.

Audio Players
CD Player
Care of the CD Player
Only use high quality 12 cm (4.7 in)
round discs that have the
“COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO”
logo on the disc or packaging. Do
not add any label to a CD. It could
get caught in the CD. If a CD is
recorded on a personal computer
and a description label is needed,
try labeling the top of the recorded
CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners is not
advised, due to the risk of
contaminating the lens of the CD
optics with lubricants internal to the
CD player mechanism.
{Caution
If a label is added to a CD, more
than one CD is inserted into the
slot at a time, or an attempt is
made to play scratched or
damaged CDs, the CD player
could be damaged. While using
the CD player, use only CDs in
good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep
the CD player and the loading slot
free of foreign materials, liquids,
and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Player
Messages” later in this section.
Care of CDs
Handle them carefully. Store CDs in
their original cases or other
protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD
player scans the bottom surface of
the disc. Do not touch the bottom
side of a CD while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled,
clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth or
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution mixed
with water. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
The following CDs may not work
properly: Copy control compact
discs (CCCD), Recordable compact
discs (CD-R), and Rewritable
compact discs (CD-RW).
Do not use the following CDs as
they may cause the CD player to
malfunction, 8 cm (3.1 in) discs with
an adapter, CDs that are not round,
CDs with a paper label, CD that are
damaged, such as cracked, broken,
scratched, or with abnormal edges.
Inserting a CD
Insert a CD partway into the slot,
label side up. The player pulls it in
and the CD should begin playing.
