Features of your vehicle
The rear view monitor will activate
with the ignition switch ON and the
shift lever in the R (Reverse) position.
The system is a supplemental sys-
tem that shows the area behind the
vehicle through the audio screen
while backing up. It is the responsibility of the driver
to always check the inside/outside
rearview mirrors and the area
behind the vehicle before and
while backing up.
Always keep the camera lens clean. If lens is covered with for-
eign matter, the camera may not
operate normally.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
WARNING - Backing &
using camera
Never rely solely on the rear view
camera. You must always use
methods of viewing the area
behind you including looking
over both shoulders as well as
continuously checking all three
rear view mirrors. Due to the dif-
ficulty of ensuring that the area
behind you remains clear, always
back-up slowly and stop immedi-
ately if you suspect that a per-
son, and especially a child, might
be behind you.

Power outlet (if equipped)
The power outlet is designed to pro-
vide power for mobile telephones or
other devices designed to operate
with vehicle electrical systems. The
devices should draw less than 10
amps with the engine running.
Use the power outlet only when the
engine is running and remove the
accessory plug after use. Using the
accessory plug for prolonged peri-
ods of time with the engine off could
cause the battery to discharge.
Only use 12V electric accessories which are less than 10A in electric
capacity. Adjust the air-conditioner or heater
to the lowest operating level when
using the power outlet.
Close the cover when not in use.
Some electronic devices can cause electronic interference when
plugged into a vehicle’s power out-
let. These devices may cause
excessive audio static and malfunc-
tions in other electronic systems or
devices used in your vehicle.
Push the plug in as far as it will go. If good contact is not made, the
plug may overheat and the fuse
may open.
Plug in battery equipped electronic devices with reverse current protec-
tion. Otherwise, the current from
the battery may flow into the vehi-
cle’s electrical/electronic system
and cause system malfunction.
WARNING - Electric shock
Do not put a finger or a foreign
object (pen, etc.) into a power
outlet and do not touch with a
wet hand. You may receive an
electric shock.

Features of your vehicle
USB charger (if equipped)
The USB car charger allows drivers
to charge their digital devices like
smartphone, and PC tablets.
Connect the device to the USB port
using a manufacturer certified cable
to begin charging.
Power is supplied to the USB car
charger in either the ACC state or
with the ignition on. In order to pre-
vent battery discharge, only connect
digital devices to the USB port with
the ignition on. Use the display
screen of the connected device to
check its charging progress. Your
smartphone or tablet may heat up
while charging.This does not impact life or function
of the device. For safety reasons,
charging will stop if the battery heats
up to temperatures that will negative-
ly affect the device. Not all devices
are supported by the USB charger
and may require additional adapters.
CAUTION
- Use the USB car charger with
the ignition on. Otherwise,vehicle battery dischargedmay occur.
- Use the official USB cable of the digital device to becharged.
- Make sure that any foreign object, drinks, and water donot come into contact with theUSB car charger. Water or for-eign objects can damage theUSB charger.
- Do not connect devices with current consumption exceed-ing 2.1A.
- Do not connect devices that generate excessive electro-magnetic noise. Doing so mayinterrupt the vehicle audio/AVelectronic devices.

How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.

FM reception
BDm CAN (ENG) 4.qxp 7/4/2018 10:10 AM Page 156

Features of your vehicle

Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as
far as possible from the audio equip-
ment.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
JBM005
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING - Driver
Distraction
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol that may lead to an acci-
dent, severe bodily injury, or
death. The driver's primary
responsibility is the safe and
legal operation of the vehicle,
and the use of any handheld
devices, other equipment, or
vehicle systems which take the
driver's eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle, or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used during the opera-
tion of the vehicle.
