Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making or
receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the
rear window defogger in the rear window.
Do not scratch the inside surface or damage
the lines in the glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with radio
reception. For proper radio reception, the
antenna connector needs to be properly
attached to the post on the glass.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window can damage
the rear window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not
clear the inside rear window with sharp
objects.
Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic film. The metallic film in
some tinting materials will interfere with
or distort the incoming radio reception.
Any damage caused to the backglass
antenna due to metallic tinting materials
will not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems, depending on the
equipped options. To ensure clear reception,
keep the antenna clear of obstructions, such
as snow and ice. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, or a roof loaded
with cargo, reception may be affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media Devices
When using media devices such as USB and
mobile devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could contain files
that affect system operation or performance
and should be avoided.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
Depending on your vehicle, it may be
equipped with two USB ports in the center
console under the armrest and another two
on the center stack. These ports are for data
and charging. There may also be two USB
ports at the rear of the center console and a
USB port on each side of the third row seats
for charging only.
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

The Navigation application requires a map
database to run. It is stored on an SD card
that is connected to the infotainment
system. If the map database is not available,
a missing SD card error message will be
displayed.
SD Card Error Messages
The SD card only works for one unique
vehicle. The SD card must pass
authentication verification to be used for
that specific vehicle. If the SD card has a
switch that can be set to read-only mode,
ensure that it is in the upward position and
not in read-only. Potential error scenarios and messages
include:
.The SD card has initialized for the first
time:
“Once initialized, this SD card can
only be used for navigation in this
vehicle.”
.The SD card is not working properly: “SD
card is not functioning properly.
(Error Code).”
See your dealer if this message appears.

in this vehicle for navigation. See Owner’s
Manual for more detail or visit your
dealer. (Error Code).”
.The SD card has been removed from the
slot: “SD card has been removed.
(Error Code).”
Make sure the SD card is in the slot. If it
was removed and inserted and you still
receive an error code, see your dealer.
Touch Confirm to resume after the
