You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this
manual. The safety precautions in
this section are among the most
important.
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of accidents. Air bags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with air
bags, ALWAYS make sure you and
your passengers wear the seat belts,
and wear them properly.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and small children should be
restrained in an appropriate Child
Restraint System. Larger children
should use a booster seat with the
lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.
Air bag hazards
Whilst air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to occupants who sit too
close to them, or who are not proper-
ly restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-
ings in this manual.
Driver distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers.
Safety should be the first concern
when behind the wheel and drivers
need to be aware of the wide array of
potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using mobile
phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile
devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device
when laws and conditions permit
safe use. NEVER text or email
whilst driving. Most countries have
laws prohibiting drivers from tex-
ting. Some countries and cities
also prohibit drivers from using
handheld phones.

Using the media player
You can play music stored in various
media storage devices, such as USB
storage devices, smartphones, and
iPods.
1. Connect a device to the USB port
or the AUX port in your vehicle.
Playback may start immediately
depending on the device that
you connect to the system.
2. On the control panel, press the
[MEDIA] button.
If you have multiple media stor-
age devices, press the [MEDIA]
button again and press the cor-
responding number button to
select the desired mode. When you connect an Apple
device, playback does not start
automatically. To start the media
player in the iPod mode, press

buttons or the appearance and
layout of the USB/AUX ports in
your vehicle may vary.
Do not connect a smartphone or
an MP3 device to the system via
multiple methods such as USB,
Bluetooth, and AUX, simultane-
ously. Doing so may cause a dis-
torted noise or a system mal-
function. When the equaliser function of
the connected device and
Equaliser (Tone) settings of the
system are both activated, the
effects may interfere with each
other and may lead to sound
degradation or distortion.
Deactivate the device’s equalis-
er function if possible.
Noise may occur when an Apple
device or AUX device is con-
nected. When such devices are
not being used, disconnect the
device for storage.
When the Apple device or AUX
device power is connected to
the power jack, playing the
external device may result in
noise. In such cases, disconnect
the power connection before
use.

Notes on connecting Apple devices
Ensure that the iOS and firmware
of your device is up-to-date before
connecting it to your system.
Outdated devices may cause a
system error.
If your device’s battery is low, the
device may not be recognised.
Check the battery level and, if nec-
essary, charge the battery before
connecting the device to your sys-
tem.
Use an Apple-approved cable.
Using an unapproved cable may
cause a distorted noise or an error
during playback.
Use a cable shorter than 1 metre in
length, such as the one originally
supplied with a new Apple device.
Longer cables may lead to the
audio system not recognising the
Apple device.
Fully insert a USB connector into
the USB port. Failure to do so may
cause a communication error. When your device is connected to
the USB port and the AUX port
simultaneously, it is recognised in
the AUX mode. The device stays in
the AUX mode even if the AUX
cable is not connected to the sys-
tem. To play music in iPod mode,
disconnect the AUX cable from the
device or change audio output of
the device to “Dock”.
If you connect your device to the
system whilst playback is in
progress on the device, you may
hear a high pitch sound just after
the connection. Connect the device
after stopping or pausing playback.
Connecting your device during a
download or synchronizing with
iTunes may cause an error.
Connect the device after the down-
load or synchronization is com-
plete.
If you connect an iPod nano
(except for the 6th generation) or
an iPod classic, the brand logo will
be displayed on the device screen.
For an iPhone and an iPod touch,
the logo will not be displayed.
Notes on playing Apple devices
Depending on the model, your
device may not be recognised due
to unsupported communication
protocols.
The order of the songs displayed
or played on the system may differ
from the order of the songs stored
in your device.
Depending on the music player
application you are using, informa-
tion displayed on the system may
differ.
In an iPhone, the audio streaming
function and iPod mode control
may conflict. If an error occurs, dis-
connect and reconnect the USB
cable.
When using an iPhone or an iPod
touch, do not control the device
whilst it is connected to your sys-
tem. An error may occur.
If you make or receive a call during
playback via an iPhone, the music
may remain paused after you end
the call. If you do not hear the
music after ending a call, check the
device to see if the music has
paused.

Do not duplicate a song in multiple
folders. One song saved in multiple
folders may cause an error with
search and playback functions.
If you perform a media control
function, such as stop or repeat,
just before a song ends, the song
information displayed on the
screen may not match the song
currently playing. This is not a sys-
tem error. Restart the iPod mode
on the system or pause and
resume playback on your device.
Skipping or improper operations
may occur depending on the char-
acteristics of your Apple device.
If the Apple device malfunctions
due to an Apple device defect,
reset the Apple device and try
again. (To learn more, refer to your
Apple device manual.)Using the AUX mode
You can listen to audio from your
vehicle’s speakers by connecting
external devices, such as smart-
phones and MP3 players.
Connect an external device to the
AUX port in your vehicle using an
AUX cable.
The AUX mode starts automatical-
ly and the sound is heard via your
vehicle’s speakers.
If an external device is already
connected to the system, press the
[MEDIA] button and press the [3]
button to select AUXfrom the
media selection window.Press the [MENU] button on the con-
trol panel to access the following a
menu option:
Sound Settings: Customise the
system sound settings.
Because the system works as an
output device of the connected
external device in the AUX
mode, you cannot use controls
other than the volume control.
Use controls on the external
device to control playback.
The sound volume for the AUX
mode is adjusted separately
from the other modes.
Depending on the device type,
using an external device with
the power cable plugged into the
power jack may cause a distort-
ed noise.
If the AUX cable is plugged into
the system without an external
device, a distorted noise may
occur. Remove the AUX cable
from the AUX port when an exter-
nal device is not connected.

Connecting Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless
networking technology. Via Bluetooth,
you can connect nearby mobile
devices wirelessly to send and
receive data between connected
devices. This enables you to use your
devices effectively.
To use Bluetooth, you must first con-
nect a Bluetooth-enabled device to
your system, such as a mobile phone
or an MP3 player. Ensure that the
device you want to connect supports
Bluetooth. On your system, you can use
only Bluetooth Handsfree and
Audio features. Connect a
mobile device that supports
both features.
Some Bluetooth devices may
cause malfunctions to the audio
system or make interference
noises. In this case, storing the
device in a different location
may resolve the problem.
Depending on the connected
Bluetooth device or mobile
phone, some functions may not
be supported.
If the system is not stable due to
a vehicle-Bluetooth device com-
munication error, delete the
paired devices and connect the
Bluetooth devices again. If Bluetooth connection is not
stable, follow these steps to try
again.
1. Deactivate Bluetooth and
reactivate it on the device.
Then, reconnect the device.
2. Turn the device off and on.
Then, reconnect it.
3. Remove the battery from the
device and reinstall it. Then,
turn the device on and recon-
nect it.
4. Unregister the Bluetooth pair-
ing on both the system and
the device and then re-regis-
ter and connect them.
