safety information. The overhead
console has a passenger airbag
status indicator.
United States
Canada
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. Then, after
several seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF,
or the on or off symbol to let you
know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag are allowed to
inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,

Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on
briefly when the vehicle is started,
as a check to show the light is
working.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there could be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the 12-volt battery.

Audio Settings
.Tone Settings
Set up sound features from the
Tone Settings menu. See “Tone
Settings” under“AM-FM Radio”
previously in this section.
. Auto Volume
Volume will be automatically
controlled. See “Auto Volume”
under “AM-FM Radio” previously
in this section.
. Explicit Content Filter

Multi-Band Antenna
If equipped, the roof antenna is for
AM, FM, and GPS (Global
Positioning System). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Unplug the mobile phone or turn it
off if this occurs.
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. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
Audio Players
USB Port
The USB ports are in the center
console and are for data and
charging. If equipped, there are two
USB charge ports in the rear of the
center console. The infotainment
system can play the music files

device or a device that supports
MTP or iPod/iPhone devices.
Caution
To avoid vehicle damage, unplug
all accessories and disconnect all
accessory cables from the vehicle
when not in use. Accessory
cables left plugged into the
vehicle, unconnected to a device,
could be damaged or cause an
electrical short if the unconnected
end comes in contact with liquids
or another power source such as
the accessory power outlet.
