Introduction
Infotainment
Base radio information is included in
this manual. See the infotainment
manual for information on other
available infotainment systems.
Read the following pages to
become familiar with these features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road for
too long or too often while using
any infotainment feature can
cause a crash. You or others
could be injured or killed. Do not
give extended attention to
infotainment tasks while driving.
Limit your glances at the vehicle
displays and focus your attention
on driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible. The infotainment system has built-in
features intended to help avoid
distraction by disabling some
functions when driving. These
functions may gray out when they
are unavailable. Many infotainment
features are also available through
the instrument cluster and steering
wheel controls.
Before driving:
.
Become familiar with the system
operation, controls on the center
stack, and infotainment display.
. Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
. Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be called
easily by pressing a single
control or by using a single voice
command if equipped with
Bluetooth phone capability.

Infotainment System 113
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 cell
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 and FM radio stations.
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
Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such as
CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, SD
cards, USB devices, and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect system
operation or performance. Avoid use
if the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
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.
During cold weather or rainy days,
the player may malfunction due to
the humidity. If this occurs, remove
the CD and dehumidify or ventilate
the player completely. The CD
player may skip while driving on
rough roads. The CD player

CDs by the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer edge.

neutral detergent solution mixed
with water. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center to
the edge.
The following CDs may not work

discs (CCCD), Recordable compact
discs (CD-R), and Rewritable
compact discs (CD-RW).
