Supported USB file systems include: FAT,
exFAT, and NTFS.
SYNC 3 is also able to organize the media
from your USB device by metadata tags.
Metadata tags, which are descriptive
software identifiers embedded in the
media files, provide information about the
file.
If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these metadata
tags, SYNC 3 may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.
SYNC 3 is capable of indexing up to
50,000 songs per USB device, for up to 10
devices.

Touch this icon to switch the heated steering wheel
on and off. It takes about 5 minutes to warm the steering wheel to 74°F (23.3°C)

temperature of 90°F (32.2°C) and operates independently from the heated
seats and other climate-control functions. The heating element is in between
the leather covering and foam core to help provide maximum heat without
adversely affecting the feel of the steering wheel.
B
Note:
This feature only functions when you switch the engine on.
Note:
The heated steering wheel may remain on after remote starting the
vehicle, based on your remote start settings. The heated steering wheel may
also turn on when you start your vehicle, if it was on when you switched your
vehicle off.

For steering wheels with wood trim, the heating feature will not heat the
wheel between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.
