audio device.
If the Bluetooth® audio
device is within the range
with Bluetooth® turned
on, the device registered
as favorite will automati-
cally be connected to the
in-vehicle system with
priority upon the system
activation.
Favorite audio device is
marked with “$” in the
device list.
[Device Name] The device name can be changed.
[PIN] The PIN code can be changed.
INFO:
With [Device Name], the device name that
appears on the screen can be changed and
be renamed from the name set as default to
the preferred name (such as “Steve’s Car” for
example). Device information:
You can display the information of the
devices connected to the vehicle.

2. Getting started
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network:
Example
To use the Wi-Fi connection for the first
time, the following connecting procedures
are required.
1. Push

Using Wi-Fi hotspot (if so equipped):
The Wi-Fi hotspot function enables you to
connect devices such as a laptop computer
or a tablet computer to the vehicle. You can
access the Internet using TCU (Telematics
Control Unit) installed in your vehicle when a
service provider’s subscription is active. Up
to 7 devices can be connected to the Wi-Fi
hotspot.
INFO:
To use the Internet, a subscription with the
service provider is required in advance.
Consult your cellular provider for details.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the vehicle engine is running. Operat-
ing the audio system for extended
periods of time with the engine turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery.
. Do not allow the system to get wet.
Excessive moisture such as spilled
liquids may cause the system to mal-
function.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio with the engine not
running, the ignition switch should be placed
in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both AM and FM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example, they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
3-2

from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
HD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
“Radio Menu” (page 3-12)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive
analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large building
for the satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
SiriusXM® services require a subscription
after trial period and are sold separately or
as a package. The satellite service is avail-
able only in the 48 contiguous USA and DC.
SiriusXM® satellite service is also available in Canada; see www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) CON-
NECTION PORT
WARNING
Do not connect, disconnect or operate the
USB device while driving. Doing so can be
a distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident or serious injury.
CAUTION
.
Do not force the USB device into the
USB connection port. Depending on
the USB connection port, inserting
the USB device tilted or upside down
may damage the port. Make sure that

the USB device is connected correctly
into the USB connection port.
. Do not grab the USB connection port
cover (if so equipped) when pulling
the USB device out of the port. This
could damage the port and the cover.
. Do not leave the USB cable in a place
where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may damage the
port.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
device. USB devices should be purchased
separately as necessary.
This system cannot be used to format USB
devices. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
This system supports various USB memory
devices, USB hard drives and iPod® players.
Some USB devices may not be supported by
this system. . Partitioned USB devices may not be
played correctly.
. Some characters used in other languages
(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not dis-
played properly on the display. Using
English language characters with a USB device is recommended.
General notes for USB use:
Refer to your device manufacturer’s owner
information regarding the proper care of the
device.
Notes for iPod® use:
iPod® is a trademark of Apple Inc., regis-
tered in the U.S. and other countries. . Improperly plugging in the iPod® may
cause a checkmark to be displayed on
and off (flickering). Always make sure
that the iPod® is connected properly.
